I got persuaded to agree to us keeping a few chickens. By the time I'm done with buying a coop, bedding, feed, drinkers, feeders, grit, tonics, sanitisers, tonics, toys, shelter, sandpit, hardwood chippings for the run (no bark allowed), f***ing Fort Knox 500SqFt run (we have badgers and foxes...

iliacus, I believe.

It probably won’t affect many, but be aware it is mandatory to show your ticket collection email twice in order to collect the ticket; once to a bouncer on the door (“if someone can’t show me the email I won’t let them in”) and once to the lady who will hand you your ticket. Nowhere in the...

My partner’s 7-year old niece has just received a diagnosis of autism (“while it’s difficult to diagnose young children, and more so female children, in xxx’s case she has a plethora of symptoms that put her firmly in a diagnosis of autism”). This diagnosis did not surprise her school, her...

I hope everyone is safe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66254908

We have just had an addition to the family and my partner mentioned that she'd quite like to buy a camper van/mobile home (not a caravan) so that we can do long weekends/a week (or maybe 2?) in the UK and near continent with the little one, instead of braving airports and planes with a screaming...

Girl, born Sat 23:15, 7lbs 5oz, no name yet - I’m thinking Steve. The midwife was approving, the dentist’s secretary was positively enthusiastic. Her mother somewhat less so. She’s being outvoted 3-1 atm… The expression is just after her mum told her about the reffing at Spurs.

With a nod to @Happy Exile for a post on a different thread, post the most ridiculous stuff you've ever seen on LinkedIn. A starter for 10... Decent chance it's a parody account...but...

My partner and I went to the latest PunchDrunk show, The Burnt City, last night. +ves: a lot. Brilliant sets across 100k sq ft; lots to explore, real immersion (an actor engaged with me directly for 5 mins), brilliant dancing, brilliant music, left feeling like I’d had an experience. -ves: I...

They dissected 560 bodies and sold off body parts. This sort of thing can't be common, can it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64159612

We have a ceiling light with dimmable leds controlled by a touch sensitive switch. Recently, it has a disconcerting habit of randomly turning itself on. It’s been happening more frequently. I put this down to either a ghost or a loose wire in the switch. Having first flicked the lighting...

The club have let my mother know there'll be a light show in the Amex tonight between 19:20 and 19:26. Not quite sure why they didn't let me know! If you, or someone you know, suffer from light-induced epilepsy, you may want to stay clear of your seat until after 19:26. "I hope this email...

I’ve been tasked with sourcing and booking a country house hotel for a 4-5 day stay in November. I know little about such things, so seek input from the NSC hive mind please… Things of interest: must be in England or Wales; country location (not a city), good food a big plus, spa would be nice...

“Delivered to Brighton Fire Brigade on the 7th of March 1967, this wonderful Land Rover 109” ‘Firefly’ served for 22 years as a restricted access fire appliance in the Old Lanes area and marina, putting out small fires in the sort of tight places a conventional appliance couldn’t go. Its...

Here we have the residue of my plumber’s clumsiness. He managed to get his foot caught up in the cable from my power amp to the subwoofer. As you can see I have 3 wires and 4 possible holes. The permutations don’t particularly scare me, but blowing up either my amp or subwoofer (or both) does...

Me: Lahore; partner: Tokoradi, Ghana. Which is odd as we’re sitting opposite each other in the kitchen.

Midsummer is a big deal in Sweden apparently. We’ve made friends with a couple round the corner; the female component being Swedish - and she looks it too, though she has the classical Swedish name of Fatima. They’ve invited us to a midsummer party and have provided us with a song sheet...
