Darragh MacAnthony being normal

I am embarrassed to support a club owned by this man.

He does this after 20 years of pretty much unwavering support from Posh fans. But since relegation, he has totally fucked this club up and is lashing out. Any other club would have at least a small section wanting to mobilise against him, but he's got nothing like that to worry about.

Prevalence of double mini roundabouts

I'm from East Anglia and 99% of my driving is limited to about 6 counties. Been on holiday in Devon and Cornwall this month and I was amazed by how many double mini roundabouts I found in Cornwall; it felt like every other village had one out of necessity of how two (four?) roads met.

Now I'm questioning: does Cornwall have a lot or does the East of England have a major lack of them?

Big buzz just before a date

I've got a date on Saturday with someone who seems really into me (has already called me sexy haha). Now every summer I buzz all my hair off (grade 1 normally) because I want to and I like it, it's been delayed this year so I was planning on doing it this week.

Do you think this is a good move? Maybe give them a heads up on what I'm planning? Don't want to accidentally catfish them lol. FWIW this likely won't be a long term thing, more of a fling, we've already spoken about what happens back at the hotel...

Married on Saturday

I posted on here a while ago-I'm the guy with the tea and sympathy tattoo!

I introduced my (now) wife to elbow and we have seen them together three times (twice with my parents). We got engaged on New Years Day 2020 and 18 months later when Flying Dream 1 came out, we decided pretty quickly that What Am I Without You? would be a perfect sentiment for a first dance.

I was worried that maybe it wouldn't work as a first dance, but we had a dance lesson and the instructor-hearing it for the first time-complimented us on the beautiful choice and got us just about dancing coherently!

Secretly though, my parents were plotting, knowing our choice of first dance. Last year at Warwick, they stayed behind and passed a card to some of the behind the scenes team with a covering note...

At the end of the best man speech, he handed over to my dad, to my surprise, who explained we would be choosing an elbow song as our first dance. He then read out the following message from Guy, and it was one of my favourite memories from the day.

The routine didn't quite go to plan-we ran out of room and I kept treading on her dress-but I couldn't think of a better way to get across how I feel about my bride!

Ring Cleaning

Not that, matron.

We're getting married soon and have rung around 3 places, none of which picked up, enquiring about a basic cleaning of my fiancée's engagement ring. It looks like it will have to be a walk in service now, any recommendations?

Questioning if marking is worth it

Edexcel maths this year and I have enjoyed doing it previously, but I dread to work out my hourly rate because it's so time consuming.

Average Speed Camera and Limits between

Drove on the A47 for the first time in ages and noticed the number of average speed cameras on the way. Had a google of how long they'd been up and found the map from National Highways, and got curious after seeing this, surely the ones either side of the 40mph zone (short yellow stretch) should actually be set at a touch above 40 rather than 50?

Printing for Wedding

We've looked at various online places but feel we just need to speak to a human being in the city to explain what we want. Any recommendation for printers that can do table names, folded place cards for names, orders of service etc?

18 months on and I am still broken

I miss her so much. She was just the most perfect little cat, she was just so full of love after the first 10 years of her life were full of abuse and failed adoptions. We got her when she was well past middle age but we made sure her final 5 years were the best they could possibly be.

It is the worst pain ever. I have lost relatives and loved ones. But none of them have left me doubled over and sobbing after so long has passed. I love her and I miss her and I am just so bereft that I am not with her.

We're getting married next month and she was meant to be there. Some of her ashes are in our rings so we can always have her nearby now, but it's not her.

Tequila Miniatures

Such a random one, does anyone know an off licence/newsagent that does these? Not rose. I've tried a lot already.

It's for a very specific thing but none seem to have any! Amazon have some but minimum order is 5

At our wedding of ~110, we're planning on having a 2 tier cake plus cupcakes in order to 1. Bulk out the table and make it look more visually striking 2. Easily cater for dietary requirements.

How much cake did you allow per guest? We are going to have some takeaway cardboard containers so guests can take some with them, plus we would like to do the traditional freezing some for our anniversary. It's a fairly highly staffed venue so will likely want/be able to give away a fair bit to staff plus our suppliers but I don't want it to be ridiculous leftovers.

I've attached the cutting guide our baker recommends we follow, and it will be a 10 inch (she thinks about 56-60 portions on that) and an 8 inch. That's approx 92 (larger) portions so we're slightly torn on how many cupcakes to go for!!
