I guess how I question this situation is - when does a hobby become a job? Is it time commitment, work involved, level of responsibilities?

Does anyone have any experience with fasting? I’m trying so hard to reset my diet and take more exercise, but working from home is really taking its toll on my backside and nothing is working.  I've found a fast timer app and considering giving it a go on 16:8, but that's not too far off what I do anyway since I'm a…

Dammit, I’m so cross I even missed Windsor...

Royal births are part of the tradition that we keep getting told brings the tourist money in, given thry think the Royal family has an impact on tourism (personally I don’t). If they can’t be bothered to do an on the steps photo for literally 5 minutes, that means tourists who travelled globally to visit for Kate’s 3…

Interesting... maybe Gilly will have Sam's books from the citadel down there and manage to raise the dead to fight the wight walkers?

I love our free UK healthcare! Although I’m never having babies I’m still grateful that other women aren’t leaving hospital with huge medical bills just for having a kid. Plus free and easy access to contraception and abortion - I just hope that Brexit doesn’t prevent women from other countries coming here for safe…

I’m not surprised Tyra is still afraid of her - Naomi has shown herself to be a bitchy, power hungry bully who drapes herself over rich powerful men. It’s those men with the real power to destroy people’s careers. When her face catches up to her real age and she can’t book more work, she’ll be one sad lonely old…

Totally agree - my autism makes me want to flip out and scream and shout on a plane if something triggers me off, but I medicate myself for everyone else’s comfort. Baby noise is a particular trigger hence I’ve never had any kids. The amount of parental entitlement is astounding on planes - excluding must-do family or …

Imagine the alternative - 6 screaming babies dotted across the plane disturbing *everyone*.. damn right I’d be creating a kiddy ghetto at the back if I was an airline attendant! Plus IME I find parents of young parents tend to need more attention than a lone adult, so they’re closer to the attendants area at the back…

I seriously cannot wait until an airline brings out adult-only flights. If I wanted to be trapped in a metal tube for 8 hours with a wriggling, screaming, shitting bag of flesh I'd have had one of my own. 

I hope this documentary is picked up by streaming services - I feel like this would be the most useful to a white person like me, to understand more about that time. For example, I didn’t realise there was a black middle class in that period given that people of colour were so discriminated against for employment etc.

York is fabulous! The castle museum and minster are must sees, Fairfax house is beautiful if you like stately home type stuff, and we did a great walking ghost tour that met down by the river in the evening. I went for the weekend with my bestie (uk based) and we still haven’t done half of what we wanted. The York Pass…

To be fair, I’d expect both partners to be equally thinking about contraception in this random hookup situation - if not the pill then IUD, implant or bring their own diaphragm/sponge.

That’s fucking horrible but sadly I’m not surprised - the entitlement from a lot of breeders in the UK has become beyond ridiculous. I have an invisible disability and hate disclosing it, and have taken to wearing my blue TFL badge whenever I’m on transport now to avoid moos trying to kick me out of my seat. For some r…

Seriously don’t care that she’s a no-show. Hopefully the grammies will go to someone who can do more than re-hash, sample, and autotune songs to sell to little girls. Someone with authenticity and actual talent.

If the author had done any research at all into this, they’d realise that tensions about self-ID are bring stoked here by press coverage of a few men pretending to be trans to get into women’s prisons. For example, google Karen White, where the prison authorities didn’t do their due diligence and he (a convicted rapist…

We always get separate bills - it’s really not that hard these days in large restaurants that are computerised, and let you put the tip on the card machine. When I was waiting staff I’d rather get my calculator out and have everyone leave happy, than get stiffed on my tip because people threw in piles of cash that were…

I don’t take that option because I’ve seen people stiffed by “friends” who conveniently forget to send it, or insist they did it and it hasn’t arrived. Even small amounts add up and some people are just cheeky fuckers. One of my friends lost £100 from paying a holiday deposit for another friend who just didn’t show up.…

Agree totally. My phone stays in my handbag and the only time I check it is when I visit the restroom - very little is urgent enough that it can’t wait an hour.

You realise this article is months old, right?
