My new neighbour has screaming rows on the phone with people. It's better than telly!

My old neighbours had a lot of sex. Judging from her response, he was very good at it.

If not, how long till they start? Place your bets!

Mine was frosty jack cider then 20/20. I have no idea how I managed to drink something so rank.

If you say untoasted I'll request you're banned.

I just spent three leisurely hours in the kitchen making a Sunday roast: roast chicken, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower & gravy. I quite like relaxed cooking with Planet Rock on the background.

I found myself wondering if people still do this. Did you make a roasttoday, and if you did, what did you cook?

And how big is your household?

How was your week? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

I'll try and make this a weekly feature.

A teacher molesting a student. Standard. What about yours?

Not really sure what the word is of what I'm looking for but...

I'm after chest freezer. It doesn't need to be working as I only need the shell.

I was thinking that I may be able to go to a recycling site and ask the staff there or something like that? I'm not sure if this is really a thing but I've definitely heard of people finding things that people have thrown away etc.

Do I just need to drive around my city looking for fly tipping/skips?

I refuse to buy cheap bread or jam. For me it's hovis thick sliced wholemeal and Mackies jam only.

Hi, does anyone own a non smart tv which is 4k and around 48"? I'm currently own a Samsung TV but to use any of the apple TV or game consoles you have to go through their painfully unresponsive smart menus and its driving me up the wall. ive looked online but it's hard to avoid smart TVs, they seem to be everywhere and a lot of options I came across are US only. the budget is upto £400, thanks in advance

I bloody love it I do

If a federated community like this already exists, please point me to it. I'd rather not divide the effort any more than necessary.

I think it is clear to anyone in the UK. The disabled community is now under attack.

This community is an attempt to help pull people together and consider ideas for support and to enhance our voice.

I like many others in our community over the last 14 years. Have enough mental health issues. That I'd be grateful for other mod volunteers who will share the time managing the group. In the hope, we can keep the workload of off to few people.

Mine is that schools should teach more non academic subjects like car mechanics. Things like history aren't relevant to a lot of students, so broaden the curriculum by teaching them things they'll engage with.

The news is all doom filled, so what's something that's made you happy recently?

Mine is finding Lemmy and all you lovely people (obviously). Also I had a workman round and he was a bloody lovely man.

Still incredibly new to all this, so sorry if this a daft question/ wrong place to put it.

But I came across this prefix you can apply to eg - Lemmy.World: https://old.lemmy.world/. It applies an “Old Reddit” theme to Lemmy. I tried it on a couple of communities, and it seems to work.

Except for Feddit.uk.

Anyone know what’s up with that? Who doesn’t old.feddit.uk work?

(Again - sorry if this is a silly question).

As it feels increasingly important to keep up to date on the news be it globally or back home, I thought I would throw out this question as I am quite ignorant when it comes to staying up to date.

The last time I read a paper was The Private Eye in early Jan and before that, I must say I never really tried to find a way to consume the news. So let me hear your preferred method.

Went into Preston today and the options were pretty poor and limited. My go to is pretty much Next, M&S and H&M but the range of anything decent was lacking.

I know there's online options but it's nice to physically try the clothes on before buying.
