Dater Analysis

@anon_opin A relative bought helium balloons for my daughter's 3rd birthday but filled them with normal air and they literally lasted 6 months

The party balloon people should voluntarily stop selling helium filled balloons for the next year. I know it's not their fault but we need the helium for medicine and computer chips.

@anon_opin Completely agree. There are lots of companies where the highest paid gets 1000s times more pay than the lowest paid. You can argue being a CEO is a harder job than some minimum wage role but there's no way it's say 6000x harder. Inequality hurts society

There should be a maximum wage tethered to the minimum wage. Tax earned and unearned income the same.

@fesshole Thought this was about photography until I read the comments

I'm not good with names, so when I was invited I assumed it was an escape room. It was a dark room. If I'd known I probably wouldn't have worn my geekiest clothes. That said, I had an excellent time. Sometimes accidents are happy accidents.

@anon_opin Some way of having one cup a slightly different size to the other

It's glaringly obvious that the bra industry would be able to serve more sizes more easily by adding more points of adjustability to the bras - strap placement, cup spacing, and included back extenders. Why they don't dare try it is one of life's greatest mysteries.

@afraidofwasps 20 years on, me and my neighbour from uni halls of residence still shout line this at each other whenever it comes on (or at least we did last time we went properly out before we had small children)

I like in Hey Ya when André 3000 says "Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor!" He is my neighbor

@Oxford_Life @anon_opin You obviously don't live in a hard water area.

@anon_opin Glass is surely one of the easiest things to clean due to its smooth impermiable nature. What would be easier and as hard wearing and suitable for the wet/steamy environment?

Why do we all accept that shower screens should be glass? They're a pig to clean and everybody wants privacy in the shower anyway.

@anon_opin It's true but people are only sad about their birthdays because they are worried about getting closer to dying

It always annoys me when people complain about getting older on their birthday. There's only one way to stop aging and it's called death. Every journey around the sun is to be welcomed. Stop moaning

@anon_opin Because there are medical reasons some wouldn't be able to donate which are really personal

Giving blood is vital and celebrities should be used to promote it. Once every season, football teams should give blood, have a cup of tea and a biscuit, and then play their match.

@anon_opin Horrible violent song

I don't understand why people are so hard on Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Just because George and Ringo hated working on it doesn't mean it's crap. It's an absolute belter of a tune. If some other band had done it, it'd be in their greatest hits.

@anon_opin It really pisses me off some of the most vital roles in a community are done by volunteers and yet the people who get paid the most benefit society in no way whatsoever

Society depends on volunteers more than it realises, yet very few people are prepared to give up a few hours of doomscrolling or Netflix to keep services going. Do more. Volunteer your time. It's worth it.

@TEKNOPUG @anon_opin No. I got 8 weeks full pay and 18 weeks half pay in the NHS

@anon_opin The vast majority of companies offer occupational maternity pay schemes, typically 6 months full pay.

Maternity pay in the UK is insultingly low. It's no wonder the birth rate is declining so much. I don't know why this isn't more of a national scandal.

On Question Time tonight, Zack Polanski was introduced as someone who "wants to tax the rich and legalise hard drugs." Zia Yusuf was introduced as: "a self-made millionaire who swapped business for politics."

It seems like behind every bad government decision there lurks a Cummings or McSweeney. None of us voted for these advisors and strategists, yet they are given so much control over the country. Get fucking rid.

@TwiningsUK do you have any plans to bring back 'Dark Caramel' tea bags? So delicious! I miss them

@simplicitethrds @BethanMcConnell That is so cool

the palette vs the piece🌞 hand beaded and sewed mini purse!

@anon_opin I have always said this!

Bank holidays would be much better if they were on Fridays. That way you could look forward to them all week rather than play catch up after missing the first day of the week

@anon_opin Does that mean more external walls in the bedrooms and living rooms though? The down side is that might be colder

The correct orientation of a set of semi-detached houses is front doors and porches together in the middle. This will usually mean internal living spaces are separated and corridors/stairs use the shared wall -therefore decreasing unwanted noise from next door.

@anon_opin You can't Chromecast though, essential in our house

Anybody paying full price for netflix is wasting their money. Netflix ad tier rarely actually gives you any ads, you can watch entire movies with nothing at all.

@anon_opin Actually a big part of our brains is fat already - myelin cells are fat that supports neurons and carries messages across neurons more quickly

It's too easy to put weight on and genetics should have evolved to redress this. I'm no scientist, but perhaps creating a new organ to turn fat into brain matter? Maybe create a new junction in the digestive tract so fat can be fast tracked to the bowel? Just a couple of ideas.

@fesshole I thought this too!

The Matrix was I think released 26 years ago and is one of the most famous films of the last 50 years. Until today I thought Keanu Reeves' character was called Neil. In my defence, I only saw it the once, but it's still pretty embarrassing.
