@scarycath Yes. You just called his metaphorical child ugly. The man is a national treasure and I don't think I've ever disliked anything he's been in.
@Glaspark@07Maggi@Sainburyscs@sainsburys If we're in France, we can *easily* do 3 hours in a Carrefour Hypermarché. Looking at all the stuff we can't get over here, then stopping off for some snacks. It actually defines our holidays. "What did you do this year?" "Same as last year, went to Carrefour for a week"
@jopawo@detroitbliss Watch out for triggers. Mine's triggered by mechanical shock, so if I stub my big toe, or tread on a Lego/pebble which hits my big toe joint. Running doesn't trigger it though. Go figure.
@jopawo@OliverDngerclws I've been suffering from it on & off since my late 30s (early 50s now). My experience (2x courses for 2 episodes) of Colchicine is that it's a preventative, and won't mitigate an attack. Only high dose NSAIDs help. I take 800mg Ibuprofen every 6 hours, and I'm sorted in 18 hrs.
@redl3tters This was an episode of House MD. House treats a brilliant MIT graduate who intentionally dumbs himself down using dextromethorphan (DXM) and alcohol. He did this because his intelligence made him lonely and prevented him from relating to his wife.
@dave24144975 Yes, it's terrible.
Only *red* lights are allowed to be shown to the rear of a vehicle (except for white reversing lights, registration plate lights and orange indicators).
Totally the wrong colour.
@AvonandsomerRob I bought a PHEV. 40 miles on battery, enough for commuting. That's 80% covered. The rest involves lugging kids to 2 unis 200+ miles away, with a whole house worth of stuff. I've stopped at enough motorway stations and seen all chargers in use that a full EV isn't for me just yet.
@AvonandsomerRob If you just want simple milk drinks, the E series is absolutely fine. The J series is more expensive, but uses a touch screen and can do sweetened/flavoured frothy milk. I've got a J8 (got it Dec 2023) and it's fantastic. I drink instant at work, but have decent coffee at home
@Britgirl0000@0Calamity My wife was a teacher. When we did our weekly shop, we would buy snacks for the kids who came in hungry. And distressingly, underwear for kids who needed it. (This was KS1 and 2 in a not great area of the North West)
@billericaybaggy@SandyofSuffolk Precisely. A colleague offered on a house. Survey came back - due to spray foam insulation, the house in un-mortgeagable.
He'd be stuffed in this situation
@BuckCllr I've got a Volvo PHEV. 400bhp, 700nm of torque. 90% of my driving is on electric and costs 4p/mile.
If I need to do a long journey, I can do 600 miles. I bought it in August and have filled the tank about 4 times.
I love it.
