four heatwaves
crop failures
unprecedented aggression from west to east
public services struggling
ah yes, lets ignore everything and watch some old, inefficient jets fly about sucking up fuel and shitting out fumes doing precisly fuck all except get very close to one another very quickly.
The eclipse shadows are really cool, lots of little crescents everywhere!
Between 19:02 and 19:16 depending on where in the UK you are. For everyone that just wants to know the time and not scroll through all that crap :)
I just noticed DDG's icon :)
I've got a round metal box from "Quality Street" (English sweets) that moved in with us, so it is older than 25 years.
Most of our childhood toys and collections were kept in the big vanilla ice cream tubs! We may have some even older than the Gino Ginellis.
We may never know.
Tutti frutti what a cutie!
Who WAS Gino Ginelli? I picture him looking like the Go Compare lad.
I have an old ice cream container (plastic) from around 2000 that has been an invaluable ice bucket in my freezer, I dislike no ice in my drinks. On the sides where I grab it the picture is gone
We've got a Saxa salt tub that's from the seventies. It used to be my Mom's.
I have a Dutch biscuit tin full of sewing stuff that manifested itself one day.
I have exactly that tub.
Same flavour icecream.
Only difference is mine has pen marks on it.
Contains all my old love letters. 🥰
Take home a Gino Ginelli da da da da piazza Italia! 🎶
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
It's your granddad's ashes.
Yes
Grew up in the north-west, in a two-up, two-down and it was always the front room. When I was little it was synonymous with living room for me. I only realised it was not the same thing when my gran got annoyed with me for calling her living room the front room (she lived in a bungalow and the living room was at the back of the house). Nowadays still call it the front room back home, even though we moved house when I was 10 and it's no longer technically at the front. But anywhere else I'd say living room. And it's always been a sofa.
Swap it with the spider plant so it gets more light
Why, where are you supposed to keep it?
From your nan's house.
The tubes keep it warm, obviously.
Why do you keep the buttplug on the telly
I'm originally from London and my parents would always say living room and sofa.
My boyfriend's mum refers to one room in her house as a sitting room, and another as a living room. I can never remember which is which, despite living in that house for a number of years.
Where did you get that pic of my nan's house from?
