There’s a reason for this though, they’re desperately trying to get more boys reading in the UK. I’m trying to recall the study but white working class boys in particular are falling behind in literacy and key skills - sexist or not, if a marvel comic gets someone interested in reading, I’m all for it.

It’s tempting to ask if what you were saying was offensive, but actually thats not the point! It sounds like you all really need some personal space - does she ever go out so you get some alone time together? I’m not sure why she’s surprised that you’re siding with each other over a roommate, it’s one of those things…

Thank you - that makes sense! I was wondering about the oil cleansers but I’m already princess shiny-face so was worried my makeup would slide off even faster :-)

I’m a little late to the party... bit can anyone recommend a good cleanser/moisturiser regime for oily late 30's skin with occasional blemishes? I was addicted to murad’s time release and anti-blemish anti-aging moisturiser, but they’ve now hiked the price to £50 per bottle and I just can’t justify £80 per month any…

I doubt you’ll need wellies - most of us just go with an umbrella and sporty sneakers (ie breathable splashproof fabric like Nike or skechers, rather than canvas converse) and we’re fine :-) unless you’re on an outdoors walking type holiday of course, but even then walking trainers are far more comfortable.

Welcome, friend! Im in London & think the best thing you could do is pack loads of thinner layers - the weather is veering between coldish & wet, with the odd sunny humid t-shirt day at the moment (as usual for autumn!). Plus most cities have a primark, new look or similar fast fashion store where you could pick up a…

I’ve tried it on boxset and genuinely don’t ‘get it’. My friends have been creased with hilarity and I’ve just been confused - same with Rick and Morty.

This exclusion of child-free people gives me the rage. I’m infertile and my husband & I are never going to be able to have children, but love animals. The local zoo is also has a play park, so they have made it completely no entry to adults without children. Just because my womb isn’t working, that makes me a…

Maybe warmer sound means the background hiss, crackling and the noise of the needle picking up every bit of dust? Or they enjoy hearing their favourite track once it’s been warped by heat or skip...skip..skipping. There’s a reason we left those motherfuckers behind and bought cassettes.

Yep, our police in the UK are now carrying large containers of water in their response vehicles to provide first aid for acid victims. It’s horrifying - I fancy my chances far better in a knife attack than acid, as I would at least have a chance of disarming them.

I disagree. Prior to gangs starting to use acid because they can’t get access to other weapons easily, this was happening to women in Europe who had south Asian heritage. See also: honour killings. Hence the link. It just didn’t make the news as it has been between family members and not involving random tourists…

Hahaha, now that’s an idea! I’ll have to bring in some passive-aggressive crafting projects for my divider wall...

I’m just jealous you’re allowed ‘stuff’ on your desks. I work in hot-desking corporate hell - sterile white desks, emptying our belongings into a cupboard every night where we’re given 6"x 6" of space to keep a notepad, laptops come home with us. If I leave a mug of pens on the desk I get a stern warning note from…

Man, sack that shame off - sounds like you’re carrying around enough personal difficulties with this without worrying about what the more ‘sensitive’ think about bodily functions! Bet these are the same people who have annoying habits elsewhere like chewing with their mouth open, broadcasting their personal life to…

Agreed! My God guys it’s just poop! We’re fortunate to have very hygienic working bathroom facilities that save us from cholera and other nasties, then they decide to pearl clutch about the smell... so glad I don’t work with princesses like this!

Why wouldn’t anyone poop at work? We’re being paid to poop, guys! I’d rather be in a stall than at my desk waiting for the next inevitable IM with sonething else I need to fix. Mr Ginger once worked out how much he got paid for daily pooping time, which is slightly overcommitted but I admire the spirit!

My friendship group have all decided they’re now ‘mummy bloggers’. As soon as one posts a picture with sickly sweet caption, another follows with theirs 10 mins later. My instagram feed looks like my entire friendship group hasn’t started kindergarten yet because their profile pictures are now pictures of their crotch…

Ugh, another column using dirt dragged up by The Sun / Daily Mail.

Yeah Prince Edwards getting a little old to fill that role now....

I was gutted that I missed out in the ballot (although I’m sure my credit card company is much happier..)
