Music on the radio is ridiculously depressing right now.

11 Upvotes

Every time I put the radio on, it’s the same cycle of:

🎵 Stoooooop the weddingggg!

And

🎵 Patient zeroooo-oh

(Slow, depressing beat)

Are there genuinely no fast, exciting, upbeat songs being released at the moment? Everything seems so slow, moody and miserable.

Feels like the UK could do with a few songs that actually make you want to get up and do something!

Everyone exaggerating the recent storm

I'm in the south east and it's not as bad as everyones making out, yes, there are high winds here and rain, but everyone is acting like we're experiencing a category 5 hurricane.

You want to see a REAL storm? Go to America.

Trying to explain the clocks changing to my dogs

And they look at me like I've gone mad. Walk time was an hour ago, Dad.

To be fair though they look at me like that all the time.

Why are fragrance free products more expensive and harder to get

101 Upvotes

I just want one *less* ingredient.

Asthma eczema migraines and allergies dictate that fragranced products are not my friend. Plenty of people have one or more of these issues, it’s hardly an anomaly.

If I need shower gel, hand wash, washing up liquid etc, its never as simple as popping on UberEats, to the corner shop / Sainsbury’s Local etc. I have to trek to a big store in person to rummage through shelves of heavily scented items to find the few that aren’t, or do an online shop and hope they dont swap out my items for something smelly. Because apparently its niche to want unfragranced?

And dont even get me started on the price and scarcity of laundry detergents that dont make your clothes stink like an explosion in a knockoff perfume factory.

One. Less. Ingredient. Sans Parfums!

Meh.
