Believe me, I am a functioning adult...

Edit: Just gone to book this ticket and have now another question if anyone has the patience.... (Edit: QUESTION 2 below)

So if I go on to e.g. Trainline to book a return ticket and they ask the station I'm leaving from and where I'm going. Then you have to pick your trains (times) (assume this is all entirely off peak). You pay your money.

Now my question is - and I have actually read the Ts and Cs on the National Rail website - if I booked using the 15.22 from somewhere, do I have to only catch the 15.22, or can I catch the 15.45 or the 14.59? Same with the return portion.

Bottom line, is the off peak ticket I've bought 'tied' to the train/time I've selected or is it my ticket to do that journey and the return journey at any time in the off peak times on that day?

I know this sounds stupid, but normally I don't use trains and previously I'd just buy a ticket at the station when I was going to travel.

Forgive me my ignorance and I wonder if someone can enlighten me!

Edit: I did have a WhatsApp chat with someone at Trainline but I don't know if it was me or them but they didn't seem to 'get' what I was on about.

Edit: QUESTION 2. So I put in the time I'm leaving and got a train I can peg my journey on, as it were. The time of my leaving is 17.48. This is PEAK time isn't it? But I'm being offered an 'OFF PEAK' return. Is this okay then, because they wouldn't give me the option if it wasn't 'right' surely?

Or is it just me? Or more Flying Ant Evening.

Edit: not 'me' I mean 'where I am'!

I was just sat here at my kitchen counter, scrolling through stuff on my laptop and a fly landed next to me. I put my hand down, with force, assuming it would fly off before my hand made contact with the surface, and it. Nope. My hand killed a fly.

Never in all my days. Never. I'm in my 50s.

I have washed everything involved.

Anyone else been a bit shocked by such casual murder? I honestly thought it'd just fly off, guvnor.

Edit: It was quite a chunker. I wouldn't have posted if just a wee fruit fly or something...

So far so good. Looks in decent nick, investment opportunity.... but what in the effing world of stuff is going on with the... geology(?) in pics 18 and 19?

Just all that really.

Looking back at articles and how he was the new messiah and the broadcast media hanging on his every word when it was back then known that he had shady funding, how do we now shout it loud that the media was wrong, wrong, wrong?

I just want some methods of complaint really.

Me and several others were blatantly tricked into working for a reform uk conference there and had to endure a lot of vile abuse.

When we arrived we were told that the event was for a building company and that you may see the word reform around it was not a political event. When we arrived in the conference room, there was a reform uk manifesto waiting on every plate for every person, and during the course of the night we had to listen to several speeches including one by the likes of Suella Braverman. The managers claimed they had no idea it was a political event but several slightly higher up coworkers said that the managers knew and that they lied on purpose so people would accept the shifts.

This though was nothing compared to the cartoonishly vile people we had to serve, with misogyny, sexual harassment being very common as well as blatant cocaine use in the toilets by these local reform party members. When we complained to the management they said they would deal with it but didn’t do anything at all. Me and several others were planning on leaving but due to student financial troubles we needed the money quite desperately.

Sorry for the rant just not quite sure how I’d get the message out there.

This was Suella Braverman posting about the event, quite obviously not a building society conference: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbMP9udARSf/?img_index=1

I hate these people so much.

Edit: I have taken a breath. So while we wait for the tanks to enter Wakefield while Reform Wakefield realise that they are actually the bad guys Stalinists and being libertarian right is kind of sort of fascist version of anarchist left, but when you start demanding that pictures of your leader not be used in a liberal democracy to outline thoughts and ideas you don't agree with... Well, send in the clowns, where are the clowns, there are the clowns.

I was cleaning some jewellery tonight and found a ring I bought at The Clothes Show LIVE at NEC Birmingham must have been kind circa 1995. I was a newish teacher (secondary English) and loved the Clothes Show myself, but an 'older teacher' who taught 'textile technology' (obviously a previous Home Economics teacher) had arranged a visit to the NEC thingy.

One of the deputy heads said, 'You're going too.' I was issued with a bloody mobile phone! I don't remember having one myself until 1999. I don't think they trusted the older teacher.

So we set off and went to the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham - like from the South Coast! But the weird thing is I loved this programme. I sew and make and so on to this day. I was not though a fan of being 25 and in charge of supervising 16 year 10 girls and one teacher who was a bit odd on this adventure.

But I bought a ring from some students who I think were from Birmingham in the crafty stall bit and saw a band play I can't remember (boy band) and the 16 girls loved it, and I truly remember this being a really cool programme re style and fashion.

On the way back we got a lump of concrete thrown from a bridge on to our coach and so I had to use the phone because we were going to be late back. First time using a mobile phone! We changed coaches and made it home.

And I still have the ring I bought, and I think this was a really cool programme back in the day. It seems from looking it up to have run basically from when I was into fashion from when I was kind of the age of the girls on this trip to a few years after this, like 12 years.

Now, where's my copy of Just 17?

Edit: I've said 'cool' too much. Apologies.

The ring. I can't sharpen it up, but it's basically silver I think with a wind of enameled green stuff wrapped round it.

Looks like the image isn't showing. Hey ho.

Edit: Because of a comment from u/NoEnthusiasm2 here is the theme tune.

It was about style and fashion being delivered back to us and wasn't about being cross. I don't know if that was a good thing, and clearly it was 'out there' but it was making being - as I said in a comment - quirky and different but stylish an okay thing.

My elderly mother has given me this name as something to do with a club that her partner goes to and they went away to Dorset on this with 'Allara' being the name of it. I just thought it was a 'whatever' but I can't find this name other than stuff to do with AI or something else.

She said something about they knew 'them' - I'm assuming through him (her partner) -- doing bowls.

FFS!

Yeah, so went off on a jaunt to Dorset with 'Alllara'. Any ideas?

Obviously it was gone once I'd taken a picture of it.

Obviously it was a Lib Dem voter liking the colour of this flower so much.

Yes, Mods, delete this because breaking rule 102 'being snarky'.

I've been chatting with them about how local news stories are taken down when comments get a bit 'frisky' and they get all 'spooked' and take the whole effing post down and not individual comments.

I've suggested they need more [edit: mods] to do the 8 day rota that other subs do.

It's a shame our sub is all about pictures of castles, people wanting to do DnD or wanting to know which bits of our county to avoid because they are moving here.

We are a huge county full of diversity, in views, and a bit in landscape. :-) Why not let that play out? We're all big grown ups and deserve a sub where we can debate stuff.

For instance, if one of our councillors makes a tit of himself and it's reported by the BBC, that's worth putting here?

Anyhoo. It was a lovely bee.

>Two die in separate A15 crashes

I'm going to say driving - people tailgating in particular, when you're doing 60 on normal roads or 70 on dual carriageways.

I obviously don't know what these crashes were caused by but thought it'd be an interesting discussion.

There seem to be deaths every week at the moment on our roads.

The bastard arsehole saw a video of a woman (wearing Muslim dress) being involved with a seagull. The video had been put up with the context of how she was going to eat it.

Here's the real story:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly7y3qeg37o

She had spent two days trying to rescue it, with the help of other people - another woman and a local shopkeeper - and succeeded in doing so.

Cllr Oliver Freeston is the Reform leader of North East Lincolnshire Council.

Once he realised he was a total tosser for posting the video which was made and put on line to fuel hatred with the claims that she was going to eat the seagull, he took his post down, said, 'Oh, well fair play to her' and then offered to meet her. Which would be adding insult to injury in my book.

What a total cunt.

Edit: forgot to say she was actually posting about the gull rescue herself online in real time apparently while the two-day rescue efforts were going on, on a gull appreciation Facebook group. Shame he's such a racist knob that it didn't occur for him to check the veracity of a racist video with such extreme claims. It's kind of that which makes him winner of the most idiot cunt in Lincolnshire award for today.

If anyone sees him, don't rescue him. Just leave him to get run over. Fugly Runt.

Hey, I was just wanting to check in with people - who I know are there - who are the ones who have had 'it' twice, primary, in my case different boobs, but I know people have had it twice primary in the same if they had WLE/lumpectomy the first time.

Me, first time, when I was 36, 22 years ago. Big WLE, chemo, radio, 5 years tamoxifen. I didn't have lymph involvement.

And I survived when people I met back then did not. Also in the years since people I knew pre all that who have died from it since.

2024, 20 years later, other boob, same but different. This time just WLE/lumpectomy and radio and another 5 years of tamoxifen.

I feel so lucky that my earlier BC got caught. It took from October to April to get it diagnosed. I don't know if the chemo or the radio or the tamoxifen got me cured to live to get it in my other boob 20 years later.

My kids were 2 and 5 at the time. I want to do a huge shout out for all the people right now doing treatment with little kids. I remember how I had to get the kids to nursery and school so I could sleep and then wake up to then pick them up. I had been working full time prior to all this. BC (the treatment) effed up my career.

My life took a different shape and when I was diagnosed again, I'd just got 'right' and got my kids right and everything.

(My husband died of a hideous neurological condition in the middle bit of my side quests of breast cancer.)

I just sometimes feel so cross and angry. I've done menopause three fucking times! Once on the first round of tamoxifen, then natural, and then now tamoxifen which squeaks the last vestiges of oestrogen reception out of you.

I won't bore people now with why I've chosen tamoxifen again. It's complicated.

But fuck I am now looking towards 62 to feel normal? LOL I just feel all my life has been fucked up.

The slog, the fear. I spent far too long of my life earlier after the first time worrying about it 'coming back'. Wasted time and hurt me and my family. So a lesson to some who read this, don't do that!

But WTF WTF WTF.

But, the best lesson if you EVER ask 'Why me?' is 'Why not you?'

So just a shout out, high five, thumping the pillow and screaming at the moon for anyone reading this who is twice primary and wondering why.

Just that really. I'm listening to a podcast that is doing a breakdown of it and he was inciting this.

Farage doing Trump impressions when confronted by a legit national paper journalist. But that's just him.

So what can we do?

I don't live in either place so can hardly report him to the police.
