UKCasual

Hi everyone, not sure if everyone's heard of /r/beermoneyuk. It's one of the subreddits that helped most as a student to have an additional source of income and I really miss it since moving to the Fediverse (I can't seem to find the alternative here).

As such, I've decided to at least open it here at @beermoneyuk. I wasn't a mod there, just a relatively active user. My hope is that there are others like me who'd like to continue sharing this kind of valuable information with others without relying on Reddit.

If any of the mods show up from Reddit, I'll gladly give them ownership of the magazine/community. I don't want to monopolize it or control it in any way. The only thing I want is for it to remain alive without only existing on Reddit. If anyone would like to join, feel free to! As I finish my exams, I'll try to be more active in there and start sharing the information that I have.

Took the weans a walk away up the back of The Three Towns in Ayrshire where they are installing these big bad boys.

You know it's summer when....

It's the last working day of the week for most of us. What's happening this weekend?

Done a murder mystery game with the weans the other week and then another shot of Alien - fate of the nostromo, which was decent.

I’m looking at maybe getting Wingspan this weekend as I reckon weans will love that.

Name a more iconic duo... I'll wait.

Looks like the mods folded under pressure from the admins.

Anything related to this is deleted by the mods, control and silence for descent.

Wow how far Reddit has fallen.

Morning UKCasual,

Have you found something puzzling at the back of the shed, or uncovered an oddity in the messy drawer? Would you like some help working out what it is? Come on over and let us have a puzzle over it in What is this thing?.

Alternatively, if you've got an odd item from your hobby that you think will stump us, why not make a CHALLENGE post and see how we do.

It's still a small (but growing!) community, but it's already getting answers faster than I thought possible.

Cheers all!

I just go straight from the butter to the marmite like an animal. Does this make me a savage?

What's been getting your goat this week?

Hayfever causing you to want to rip your eyes out? Office air conditioning too cold? Get it off your chest here.

No, I don't know what this was about either.

I’m learning to embrace the warmth so I’ve got the boys coming over, firing up the pizza oven and have the Peroni chilling in the fridge. Not bad for a Wednesday :)

Might even get the sprinklers out for the dog

And I will eat you and all your possessions.

Are you winning, Lemmy?

What's going well with you this week?

I need your help to settle this perpetual disagreement in my home. I'm team 'skon' whereas my husband is team 'skone.'

Some context, we are not native to the UK so I will humbly accept consensus.

Anyone know any good spots for hiding away in Snowdonia? Planning a trip there.

Just in case anybody here is interested 🙂, it's @ukdtt (https://fedia.io/m/ukdtt)

Ended up taking a huge chunk out the side of her head. It was a massacre. There were tears and panic attacks, it was pretty full on and sucked to see her so upset.

I did the deed, my daughter told her she looks bad-ass, like Ripley and she's finally come around to how great she looks with a shaved heid.

Anyone got any horror haircut stories I can use to cheer her up? Cheers!

For me this is the first year i've had my own aircon unit. Girlfriend keeps telling me to turn it off though as it's louder than the TV

Wow, welcome everyone to the community.

What would people like to see ongoing? The daily threads are good, does anyone have ideas for what topics or do you want to mirror the CasualUK standards?

Why would I want my tea to taste like toast and jam?

Just a place for some casual discussion of all things Beckenham.
