I once ordered a 'mushroom' burger without reading the menu properly, thought it was a vegetarian burger, not a beef burger with a mushroom on it. Completely my fault. I paid for it, ate all the sides and apologised to the waiter. Because I was an idiot.

It's a fairly common phrase in the UK, I hadn't realised it would be so controversial on Jez...

Ha! Yes, former FWB, current friend. He's a great person, with an excellent turn of phrase ;)

I had sex with my FWB towards the end of my period. The next morning I had to get up and leave early and I got a text that afternoon: "you could have mentioned you were on the blob, I got up to pee and thought I was dying"

Someone said upthread, and I agree, that Jodie and Daria would have probably got on really well as adults, but that they just couldn't see their similarities so well as teens.

My best friend from school we a Daria/Jane duo. We're in touch, but not as close as we used to be (travel/life got in the way), but when we talk its exactly the same as it always was.

Say Yes to the Dress is my go-to "I am tired and I want to watch people being excited an happy and no one to have their dreams crushed" TV. I'm always amazed that people have so many hangers on with them who are incapable of reading the bride's emotions/shutting the fuck up. I think you're right about complicated…

Yes, Flo Perry is British

Yes, a dala horse. That part's not compulsory...

Yep, weird Swedish butter knives.

When I went back to school to start my masters last year I couldn't believe that there were sofas all over the department, and there is always someone napping on them. It's great.

It looks like a timed picture on a laptop, the built in camera on a macbook (for example) gives you about three or four seconds between clicking and it actually taking the picture. More than enough time to pose.

Oh god. That story remains seared into my brain...

My older sister used to get a lot of her words mixed up as a toddler, one of the ones that stuck was 'headford' (forehead). Actually my Grandma used to do this too, and my family often talks about getting 'bring it home' (takeaway).

That's the worst part of the video!

In the books, James (Harry's dad) and Snape were jerks to each other, Lily (Harry's mum) told them both that she hated it when they argued and were jerky. James matured and later married Lily. Snape never really did.

I don't understand this argument, why teach kids stereotypes only to try and 'unteach' them later? Why can't Disney destroy these boring tropes and show well rounded characters to children?

This is correct

Peter Pan is just a better story than Sound of Music...
