Really? Banking services are considered a basic human right and necessity in the UK. As a consequence, banks are literally and legally disallowed from refusing a customer's personal-banking business, and significant public money is devoted to ensuring that everyone has access to basic banking services.

Snorf.

I am right there with you (8+3, nauseous as shit, and exhausted). I'm just doing my best to get through the day and maybe get a walk in the fresh air in. We will feel better soon and the gym will still be there. This is totally normal.

The UK treats Good Friday and Easter Monday as bank holidays, and Easter Sunday is generally a restricted-trading day as well. Except in Northern Ireland, where the holidays are Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday. I don't even know.

That rabbit's a killer!

Yeah, maybe it's just the circles I move in, but to me that's just an "Oh, cool" and not even salacious. Unless, of course, her writing sucks.

I imagine they'd spend a lot of time growling and posturing at each other, but then secretly curl up in a corner, back to back.

Absolutely no different from a rabbit-fur hat, or your grandmother's mink coat, i.e. not at all.

Why is it gross? The pelts are tanned, and undoubtedly delightful to the touch.

I've always stayed there while the homeowner is also there, except one time when she was away on business and we did get the place to ourselves.

The main thing I think on looking at this picture is HOLY CRAP that bikini top looks uncomfortable. I can only picture red lines diagonally across her boobs when she takes it off.

An IUD may prevent a fertilised egg from implanting.

I almost feel like that must be sarcastic, but I'll take you at your word! :)

I agree; it didn't seem like LW3's friends had dumped her or been dismissive, they just "felt differently" about the friendship, which I interpret to mean they had less time for it and it was less of a priority. Well, yeah, that's gonna happen. I do think someone in that situation should probably diversify their…

Do stick with your doctor's tapering plan, and don't get any ideas about going cold turkey. I ran out of venlafaxine on the Friday of a Bank Holiday weekend, and since I was planning on going off it anyway, I thought I'd tough it out. MISTAAAAAAAAAAKE. A slow taper, plus taper up of your new medication, should help…

When it's during the day and I'm working, but also travelling (going to a client, say), then if I get a work call, I should probably answer it if I can. (And texting is not appropriate for most work contacts.) Sure, I could let it go to voicemail if I'm on a train, but if a train's not horrendously crowded, I really…

That's not quite the same as telling your daughter that you treated someone she knows for something specific - it invites a guessing game that could easily rumble that person. I think it is uncool, and I would certainly have been penalised for it if I were found to have done that when I worked as a medical admin. Even…

You can't have a loud phone conversation on the tube - for most of it you're too far underground to get signal. But for that matter, if someone calls you on a train, what're you supposed to do - not pick up?

Invite them. They're grownups, and if they feel like it would be too hard not to drink in a bar, they can tell you so. Just starting to exclude them from events without saying anything does seem pretty mean. But it would also be nice to suggest mixing it up with non-bar-related events as well. I'm a light drinker, in…

GOD I love this tip. My rings practically fall off my hand in cold weather but dig into my sausage-fingers when it's hot. Plus my wedding band is shaped with a notch to fit around my engagement ring and it annoys me that it rotates and constantly ends up facing backwards.
