Good morning, new users and veterans alike!

First time here after the Reddit exodus? Welcome! Come in and say hi.

Evening folks!

Curious about what everyone is having for their dinner tonight. Bonus points for mouth watering pictures of said dinner!

Nobody in The Shire seemed to have hay fever, so that still sets us apart at least.

Russian moon landings, week long traffic jams, a workforce replaced by automation and above all, too much leisure time!

These are just some of the bold predictions made in Don Haworth's 1963 BBC 'mockumentary' Time on Our Hands - a remarkable film which projects the viewer a quarter of a century into the future.

My partner and I are doing a year of trying new activities, none of our friends are organised enough to come as a big group so I thought we could go as a 2. I'm just a bit worried it'll be full of try hard people/won't be suitable for first timers and we won't have fun. Does anyone have any experience?

The cap was reduced to 30p/kWh for electricity and 8p/kWh for gas. If you are not on a smart meter, you should submit a new reading as soon as possible to make sure your costs are computed as accurately as possible.

This is a shameless inspiration from this reddit post.

I've woken up with pain though my shoulders, must have slept funny. Getting older and waking up uncomfortable is rubbish.

What's happening, dudes? I'm looking forward to taking the little man to a burger restaurant tomorrow that I've been trying to go to for ages. Yay for burgers.

Obv I don't want to get too deep into privatisation weeds as we don't want to get into the dreaded (whispers) politics in this comm. But I'm interested to know if other people are noticing the postal service deteriorating.

Mail for other houses (my door number is clearly marked)... delivery timelines missed... then the icing on the cake, had a delivery that was supposed to come up to Newcastle delivered while I'm not at home, they left it in a 'safe place' despite one not being designated.

Want to hear what the 'safe place' was? Out on the street, jammed behind a random neighbours wheelie bin! So yeah that's £110 of new clothes gone to some lucky local who swiped it. Boooo, Royal Mail, booooo!

To counteract the whinge, I just made a banging pizza almost from scratch. Success!

Just one more day to get through before the weekend. Keeping a low profile, or have a full day of meetings?

What are you looking forward to doing at the weekend?

Untitled Goose Game sequel in the making?

Something not going right this week? Air conditioning too cold or non-existant?

Come in and get it off your chest

It was a weird sensation to feel my bum rumble in resonance with hers. A bit unpleasant, a bit funny, and I just wanted to share.

Can't be having the same colour caps for different milk... Breakfast will be a disaster

Board, card, or video games - what's being played this week?

What's going right this week? Something you need to celebrate, or just found a Charlie Bighams ready meal with a yellow sticker?

Let us know, and bask in your fortune!

Feeling quite cozy at the mo. How's your Tuesday night?

(crosspost - hope this is OK)

I created a new community/magazine for British/UK comedy discussion - sitcoms, stand-ups, etc.

One of the below should work, I've found that pasting the URL into search works best for Lemmy:

I've been wanting to go to Puy du fou for a long time but can't get to middle France easily. so hopefully they will get a UK instance

I think I just reconnected with VW. Touch screens in cars are probably the worst automotive innovation.

Obvs not the correct sub for this but can't find anywhere more suitable.

Glued to Glastonbury? Binged all episodes of Sharpe?

Let us know what you've been watching this week, and what we should get into.

4+ days?

After a glorious birthday cream tea yesterday I've realised I've overestimated just how much clotted cream I would need and have a veritable dairy of leftovers. The scones are all gone and the rest of the strawberries won't be ripe til next week, so anyone got any recipes or ideas with what I can do with a large tub of Rodda's finest?

Monday's round again, and back to work for some of us.

I'm back to an air conditioned office, which will be lovely. It's just a shame it's at work. Anything planned for this week?
