@Saskiaaa_____@iamtomskinner Exactly this! My son had to take a CV in to his local pub. Trying to get your first job is as a teenager is nigh on impossible
Rest in peace to Roberta Flack. Her cover of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is one of the most beautiful songs in pop history. Clint Eastwood played the entire 5 minutes+ in an extraordinarily touching scene in “Play Misty For Me.”
Lots won't understand this, but this is one of the best, most hope filled, beautiful films ever. Yes, it's dark in places, but the ultimate message is of hope, love and belief 💛

@Discworld_com Liking the cover, I picked up the light fantastic in a friend's room aged 16. Absolutely loved it so then had to find the prequel. Hooked ever since

“On a million hillsides the girl ran, on a million bridges the girl chose, on a million paths the woman stood...
All different, all one.
All she could do for all of them was be herself, here and now, as hard as she could.”
Terry Pratchett , Lords & Ladies

@She_raaah I'm lucky to have 2 sisters to help but I too have this massive task ahead of me. Cry your tears and laugh at your memories. We're going to try and do it room by room so as not to get too overwhelmed. Wishing you love and peace x

@ChrisRogerson6 @DUCKmagstoke Well I had a fine last week from a month ago but unfortunately I'd been down another 4 times since before the letter came so it's been an expensive mistake for me!!
@Discworld_com Lancre, to have the pleasure of meeting Nanny and Granny, off to Djelibeybi via Cori Celsti (do the gods really throw dice for our fates?) Then to hang over the rim (see Leonard's view), back to Ankh Morpork and the Mended Drum to watch the Band with Rocks In
@anon_opin Oh my god I completely agree! Soo many times I introduce myself as Mandy to have people readdress me as Amanda or ask me if I'm giving them my given name!! I told you my name already!
