I have everything I need for a Nadja of Antipaxos costume, but I don’t think we’re going anywhere.

Oh, you don’t like bonfire night? Fireworks too loud? /s

Edit: Seriously, good luck to you guys - I’ll be watching nervously from the UK (where our election was on 4th July.)

Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.

Stop trying to make fetch happen

Yeah, I guess so. It’s probably so they put lower overall salt on the packaging.

Michael Hobbs reading the bit where JD questions his sexuality cracks me up.

Not only “spices” but paprika and white pepper too!

I’ve been using Daylio for years.

It’s designed to track moods and the activities associated with them, but it’s adaptable, so I use it to track my headaches. It’s very easy to use and it doesn’t feel onerous to record the information.

Thank you for your dedication to the search. I love this.

You’re Wrong About podcast has an episode about this with Blair Braverman guesting, that I think posits a decent theory. Blair also appears on episodes about the Andes plane crash and the diphtheria serum run, both of which are well worth a listen.

When I worked in retail, I had this wanker of a middle manager who would ask how I was getting on, and when I said fine, he’d always say “It’s not rocket science, is it?”

He was mid twenties and only a few years older than me. He used to call female employees “babe”.

One time I watched him get a withering telling off from a customer. The customer wasn’t in the right, but it felt like a little bit of retribution for all us “babes”.

Steven Pacey reading Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series is outstanding. The books themselves are among my favourites, but Steven makes them even more special. He has different voices (and accents) for the characters and manages to stay consistent with them. His pacing is also excellent.

Muscled like a maiden’s fantasy!

Of course it’s in Scunthorpe.

Outstanding

I get that. I’ve been trying not to use the wooden boards for cutting them as it gives off such a weird smell when I wash them.

Not allergic, but the very thought of onions (and garlic) in pregnancy made me feel sick. Smelling them or seeing them cooked (with their translucent little stripes) would have me heaving. All the foods I love have onions and garlic in. It was awful.
