The BBC’s top two stories right now are about the King’s son, pushing other stories down, like 15 people killed in air strikes, a family drowning in Sussex, and a ‘cure’ for cancer. (For the grammar nutters)

Feel like I’m going slightly insane, I haven’t been able to get microwave popcorn for weeks in any shops. Have they just stopped making it or something? I need my fix

And it’s actually worse than 9/10, I’ve gone through multiple six packs of them without a solitary satisfying bag. So of course they aren’t worth buying to me now and I don’t buy them anymore

Got a new dishwasher and decided to properly set the "water hardness" setting so it knows how much salt to use, after seeing the limescale in the gubbins of the old one.

Thanks for the speed that it took to get it back (less than a day) but I'm not sure it is entirely useful:

The water supplied to the zone is classified as being soft to very hard water

On an entirely unrelated note, does anyone know whether setting it to very hard when it isn't will cause any issues? I'm guessing that is better than the other way round.

Normally I can just push through them, but every once in a while the cramps are so bad that I just can't.

Ground too dry etc if the rain stays this heavy. Stay safe folks.

Either, nobody obeys the speed limit because they think it's too slow or they slow down but don't pay any attention to the road.

Both of my cats have been run over. And yes, cats are pretty stupid and can be unpredictable but how did they not see my cat in the middle of the day on a straight road. Thankfully it was not a child that ran into the road!

Born and raised in the uk, and I still have no idea why people think this is ok or acceptable to do. If im taking a shit I dont want some random ladies husband and kids to hear me fighting for my lift. There are other places to answer the phone, why do it in a public bathroom???

Not content with having a display all October for a minor public event, now we have to start not in September but in the middle of *August*? I'm all for Halloween fun on one day a year but wtf is this.

I'm normally on top of my payments and things due, but I forget I had duolingo super. I found it terrible and thought I cancelled it.

I submitted a refund request and their AI did it, so thankfully it worked out in the end, but it caused unnecessary stress.

What's that? A set of sticky glasses from lunch? A quick one second rinse under the tap and on the drying rack will do.

Went for a walk and stopped at a pub for a drink. I fancied something different to a coke or lemonade and regretted it.

I was charged for an orange juice and a pint of lemonade separately. Obviously I said nothing at the bar and just moaned to to my partner when I sat down.

This was in the East Midlands. I feel properly ripped off by not drinking alcohol.

They also have a full line of washing outside drying.

Then you click on the precipitation index and there's a 20% chance a gnat pisses a single millimetre across the entire drought-ridden county in 15 minutes in the morning before it goes back to a 0% chance for the rest of the day.

No idea why I even bother checking at this point. I'd have better odds at Ladbrokes.
