What a lovely thing to say. Bet he was a good husband too.

Can I upvote this twice?

Awwwww. Too cute.

He's a therapy human for the dog.

This is how it should be.

That’s what really gave me the poos when my kids’ school started awarding points for every kid in “full school uniform” - with the winning class getting iceblocks at the end of the term. So, if I screw up with the laundry, or can’t get to the shops to buy new socks that week or if don’t want to fork out for a new pair of pants in literally the last 2 weeks of school, my kids’ class are disadvantaged? No - not fair. Not fair at all.

Or when scrolling to the right year takes three times as long as if they'd just let you type your date of birth. Or worst of all, when it asks you your occupation from a huge drop down list and you have to keep guessing what they think your job should be called.

The girl before you was the epitome of chutzpah.

The love we all should aim for

Be thankful for what you've got. My dachshunds nick my duvet. I'm left with a small strip some nights.

My previous landlord once lowered my rent by 20% when he found out that I had bern laid off.

So where on earth did all of that water go??

I wasn't the only one then. Good. I was thinking, 'Why would you just drop your food on the bed like that??'

that is a global annoyance, not just a british issue

And I hear the föök-ing in my head so clearly 😂

Great name Roisin. I understand it’s pronounced ‘Rowsheen’ - beautiful

Both!

This’ll date me, but I genuinely remember when I first had my licence and being a poor student and putting totals like AUD $1.80 or $2.67 into my tank and using the car for another day.

Minutes 60 down to 3 count perfectly, Minutes 2 & 1 each take about a quarter of an hour.

No British person says "apartment", it's a "flat" this side of the pond

Hahahhaa... so relatable ;)

I felt that deep in my soul.

Friends of ours named their dog Steve and I’m like I don’t know how to feel about that. My names Steve.

Well I'm an idiot. For a second, I thought he was hitting on her.

Did you at least get the weights for the Bubble level???

Every street needs a binfluencer.

My Mrs is the same, a rubbish day ninja, nobody in the street makes a move till our bin/wheelie/ recycling/garden waste goes out, then the other neighbours follow with confidence 😂

We are the binfluencers on this street. I always ask my partner to put the wrong bin out, and swap for the right one in the middle of the night just to see what happens the next morning 😆 (he's never done it, spoilsport)

Is there anything worse than being the first one to put your bins out? Is there even collection tomorrow. Have I got the days wrong? Did something happen and nobody told me?

I have an alarm on my phone that tells me which collection it is. If I didn't, I'd just put them all out and let the binmen play wheelie bingo.

The club that maintains our church in our very small village found the ideal solution to this. The tower has festive lighting, and they just received new colored bulbs, amongst them green, and it happened to be eco-bin day the next day. Our green lit tower made national news. https://www.pzc.nl/zeeuws-vlaanderen/weet-je-niet-welke-container-aan-de-straat-moet-in-groede-vertelt-de-kerktoren-het~a368231d/202764787/?cb=898fe187-38cf-4ef9-af92-2878a1b27eca&auth_rd=1

Our council shuffled our bin collection days multiple times in the last few months. They send us letters addressed to “Person who takes the bins out” with the new schedule information. Sometimes they send multiple letters in one week and the ones they sent later arrive first. It’s chaos, I have their collection info website bookmarked and it’s still wrong some days.

Look I feel as if they should issue a little chart with which bins on which days. Otherwise it's just pandemonium

The old couple will need to inform y'all which bins to put out during any future absences because, apparently, it's beyond your abilities to keep track.

Look, these are from Britain. During our summers, you are more likely to get trench foot than sunburn. Summer wear is a clear plastic poncho. When a large, white, fiery ball appears in the sky, it has to be announced on the news that it is, in fact, the sun.

im not British but aparently i am.

oh my god, I read this and then immediately had someone come to my desk. I took one look at them, had to look away to compose myself, and then was able to talk after like 10 awkward seconds.

Way to stay minimalist

Absolutely. A tube of chips can only be consumed inside watching telly.

I still do that when my kids leave because my wife won't let me run alongside the car until it's going too fast to keep up.

We're on a crowded little island. There's always something going around.

When I was little, Apple Jacks cereal was more expensive than any of the others. Being very poor, I wasn't allowed to have them. I spent the night at Grandma's once, not long after Mom and I had argued over the cereal. Grandma drove me three miles one way to the grocery store just to buy me a box of Apple Jacks.

We once had a kid named Barry in Prep class which is 1st yr Primary / Elementary school, so aged 5 and I’m like ‘Barry?? No way a 5 yr old is named Barry!’ Minimum 65 years old to be a Barry.

And is also 0 to be nice to people around you.... Especially the waiters! (family does not count- spit at them and be as rude as they are towards you all year round) ;)

It's hard, but you need to watch their weight! They deserve that.

I lost IQ points just looking at the name...

They were always so cheerful and actually came up the drive and picked up your bin and carried it to the lorry and put it back exactly where they found it. They were always pleased if there were any extra things that you were throwing out, like old electrical stuff. And they always got a Christmas bonus. Pretty much the opposite of the outsourced lemons we have now.

this speaks to me :D

No she won't

Wait what? 😲

Did she drive there herself...? 🙃
