Dated someone lovely. She invited me over for a cup of tea and asked if I'd like some chocolate when I arrived. When I said I did, she melted two large bars of dairy milk in a double boiler and then ladled us each a bowlful. I ended it because of the melted chocolate.
There should be a mandatory GCSE in Life Skills. By the time you leave school you should know how to change a car wheel, wire a plug, stop a dripping tap, how to wallpaper and paint, being able to cook simple meals from scratch, alongside financial skills like budgeting.
Our major recent study on young men, masculinity, and misogyny questioned the extent to which Gen Z men are really more likely to hold misogynist views than older generations of men

I grew up thinking my brother was a music aficionado. He was always introducing me to cool songs from new artists. Years later from YouTube comments I learned they were just the menu screen songs from the fifa games he'd play with his mates.
During the period when superinjuctions were in the news and speculation of who'd got one was rife on Twitter, I made a website. It randomly pulled the names of British Twitter users with big follow counts and generated a libel about them. My gf rm -rf *'d the server.

Teacher of 12 years, quitting this summer. Why? Conservatively, 30-40% of parents simply don't give a shit about their kids and this is in a fairly posh area. Feeding them shit, iPads all night, hygiene issues, just zero fucking support. How and why should I care when you don't?
Our cat's dying and will have to be put down. But the vet's assured me that we can have the body back. I want to remove her sweet little nose, cast it in transparent acrylic, and display it on our coffee table.
I have an unhealthy interest in the Amazon Firestick screensaver photos. I can identify 99.9% of the locations. I have categorised them in various different ways. My family does not share my interest.
Dogs and cats should be given names that they can pronounce. No dog will be able to pronounce "Ruby" so calling her that is silly. Call her something she can say, so she can give her own name when asked.
Trump may be an asshole, but at least he has picked a direction and is taking action to get there. I look at the UK government and imagine what we could achieve if we were as bold.
The worst thing about being a captain of an amateur sports team is having to send all the, "Yes, it's still on" messages to your teammates the moment there is a bit of rain in the air.
I'm shit at pool. Once when I tried to distract my mate from winning, I took my bollocks out of my pants and hung them into the pocket he was aiming for. Struck them of course and had an awkward time explaining to the staff at A&E why my scrotum was purple, bleeding and swollen
