Happy new year everyone.
A true British icon. Cultural catalyst. Visionary.
Happy Holidays. Hope you all have a good time no matter how you’re spending it.
Just now some banks are offering between £200 and £250 to switch accounts.
You should sign up for Martin Lewis' newsletter if you haven't already as it regularly lists the best deals.

Yeah, I know a few people from the farming community and there is no shortage of eggs it's that the supermarkets won't pay the price for them.
I don't wear glasses for reading but I do wear them (or contacts) for distances.
Most of my reading is done on a tablet or computer screen and although I can reading perfectly without glasses I do feel the strain on my eyes is more than it would be with paper documents.
Thanks for sharing @Alex
My garden covered in wet leaves. I love my trees but I hate cleaning up the bloody leaves.
BIG spiders.
Fireworks scaring the life out of my pets.
Shellfish.
Quite a common allergy. I don't know if it is every type of shellfish but I tend not to eat any.
RIP
John McAfee, watched the Netflix documentary this morning, now that's a real dislikeable scumbag
I hope this will take off because I want to give people a place to vent about things that aren't particularly going right for them on any particular day, including myself quite a lot of the time.
Today has just been genuinely shit because having received news about the energy cap rise and realising that me and my family will find it extremely difficult (if not impossible) to heat our home this winter.
This thread can hopefully just be a place for people to get things off their chest, whether it's a minor inconvenience spoiling their day, or something particularly nasty happening and wanting a bit of support from the nice people of Idle Chatter who are usually on point for people who are facing serious challenges or issues.
I got my foot trapped on a disused train track when I was little (6 years old). It had to be cut free. I dread to think what could have happened if it was an active line. I've never used a railway crossing since.
I generally agree with the "Forum Promotion / Post Exchange" comment - despite meeting a handful of people from those communities that I'd consider to be friends.. It may seem hypocritical given that I briefly helped with posting packages, but I haven't really returned to those forums beyond 'the job'.
I dislike insects in general.. They don't call 'em creepy crawlies for no reason! 😅
..but especially flying ones. I can't stand having things flying and buzzing around me.
I’ve had smart meters for 5 years and have always been happy with them. The first thing I did when I moved into my present property was to get them installed, as I had them at my previous place.
I'm not always watching it. I refuse to become that obsessed but it is handy especially now prices are rising sharply. I’m sensible anyway regarding energy with just me to think of.
I don’t need to bother with reading meters that’s a big bonus to me.
I must have been a right daftie, I also thought if something wasn't sold it would become a toilet. Think I was a teenager before I realised it said "For Sale or To Let" 😳
I could have lied about everything because my employer didn't ask for a reference.
I would add the second and third books in the Southern Reach trilogy, especially the second. Annihilation was great but those two didn't come close to my expectations. Totally lost the eerie and unsettling atmosphere that permeated the first.
Another Tolkien disappointment, but this time The Hobbit. It was an enormous letdown for me because I was a huge fan of the LOTR Trilogy and The Hobbit book.
Martin Freeman was great as Bilbo but I've blocked out most of the rest.

Will certainly give them a read.
The reason I cut it out was to improve my sleep and gain the benefits after reading all the negative impacts of not getting enough of it.
The fact we spend a third of our life asleep leads me to believe it’s a necessity whether we fully understand why or not.
I just came across the following stats of mass shooting in the USA Mass Shootings in 2022 | Gun Violence Archive
Looking at this list it seems that there is some sort of mass shooting just about every day in the USA, is it just me or is there something seriously wrong with this picture?
More Americans died of gun-related injuries in 2020 than in any other year on record, according to recently published statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That included a record number of gun murders, as well as a near-record number of gun suicides. Despite the increase in such fatalities, the rate of gun deaths – a statistic that accounts for the nation’s growing population – remains below the levels of earlier years.

I'll eat almost anything but can't stand olives or cucumber
I believe given the huge size of the universe that there has to be life out there somewhere, however, the chances of ever coming across it may be remote.
