I usually make just roasties but I'm making a stew so I think it appropriate. Does anyone have a good recipe for mash, I need wisdom
Edit: Thanks it's only been about 20mins and 50 or so people have got back to me!
Just been interrupted from gardening in the drizzle by a man in a van asking if I could use a ‘brand new unused memory foam mattress‘. There was a convoluted back story about a manager and a new housing estate that didn’t entirely make sense. I assume this is some kind of scam (and I’ve seen enough horror movies not to investigate further), but it made me wonder whether this is a common experience? Anyone been offered anything weirder?
I hope this is ok to post here, but I’m heartbroken. I know you CasualUKers are really lovely and supportive so I just wanted to reach out and speak to fellow brits who may have been through the same thing.
My Nan had a lot going on including not only vascular dementia, but Alzheimer’s and leukaemia too. My grandparents have been so supportive and loving throughout my life and I can’t believe it’s hit my grandad too. I’m not ready to lose both of them.
I don’t want to go through this journey again.
I'm looking for solid dad jokes, punny, I'm talking so bad they make you laugh and wince at the same time because gosh they're terrible.
Christmas cracker level of bad ✨
My manager and I throw terrible jokes back and forth at one another, we've managed to cover a lot but I bet there's more out there, the more obscure and British the better. Although not stated in my contract it's definitely an integral part of my role and without your help unemployment looks because the well is running dry.
*Also for my own personal stock any risqué jokes are absolutely welcome and don't have to necessarily be SFW
Edit to say thank you all for your contributions, I'm creased and absolutely love the new and old jokes you're bringing to the table, love you guys
Honestly quite baffled to be honest. Substitutions happen all the time, granted, and I'd say eehhh 90% of the time the replacement is useable enough vs what you actually ordered... but tulips? As a substitution for a cabbage? I guess my garlic butter cabbage is going to look interesting tonight. Gotta admit, the tulips look lovely, and it gave me a good laugh first thing in the morning.
Curious if anyone can beat this one?
Not sure why I wasn’t savaged by the parents for getting so close, but boy did I enjoy seeing a pile of goslings

How we all doing? Got something you need to get off your chest? Share it here.
Misery loves company, after all.
The Wildlife Trust is looking to purchase the Rothbury estate in Northumberland which is at risk of being sold off and divide. The Wildlife Trust wish to purchase this to prevent it being lost to nature. They’re just over half way to their target.
I am aware that this may sound quite mad but I’m wondering if this happened to anyone else (Millennials?) growing up.
My best mate and I have similar experiences about our grandparents not letting us use the toilet at night. My Grandad once stayed at mine to look after me while my Mum was away and I went to go and wee at 1am; I had to pass his bedroom to go to the upstairs loo and he came charging out of his bedroom shouting ‘I’m not having this,’ and chased me back to me room, I eventually peed in an empty cocktail shaker in my room and threw it out the window! I think I was 13 at the time?
My best mate was much younger when she had a similar experience (maybe 8 or 9) and when she stayed with her Grandparents she and her cousins shared a room, her mum and aunty shared a room and obvs the grandparents had their own room. If ANYONE needed the toilet in the night (including the mum and aunty) they had to CREEP down the hall and try and time their steps to coincide with the grandparents’ snores. The grandma was a really light sleeper and if she heard anyone try and creep to the loo she would cry out, ‘WHO’S THERE’ and people would either a) risk it all and run to the toilet or b) creep back to their bedroom and then try again in 15-20 minutes.
I was just wondering if this is common? Did anyone else’s grandparents have this major issue with using people using the loo after going to bed?
Today I saw a lollipop man walking away from presumably his finished shift, and he had his lollipop in a custom lollipop carry-case. it was like a large, lollipop-shaped tennis racket case and I have never been more gutted to not be able to take a photo of something in my life. A friend suggested that they have to keep their lollipops sheathed when they aren’t on duty, so they don’t accidentally stop traffic - truly, they are too powerful.
Right, so it's mid week. Happy hump day and all that, but why aren't you in bed? Neighbours putting their bins out keeping you awake? Kids being little shits? Working the nightshift?
Come on in for a chat.
Here for work and took a wander around this evening with a few pics
I mostly welcome the crows and magpies because they help keep my chickens safe by chasing off birds of prey. However, I hate finding stuff like this, I know it was full of either eggs or chicks, now it’s just full of ants (making me wish I hadn’t brought it indoors)
Cut a long story short. Me and my husband have been together just over 8 years. We've just had our first baby together.
My work organised a surprise baby shower for me a couple of days before baby was born, which was really lovely and thoughtful. One of my work colleagues got in touch with my husbands mum secretly and asked for a baby photo of him for a game.
Anyways, I've never seen the picture until that day.... but look what were both wearing. What a crazy coincidence , I couldn't believe it when a colleague pointed it out.
Saw this little guy at Porthcawl beach the other day. Cute little fella. He was hiding in and around the rocks.
Hi. I give nicknames to fellow commuters on my platform. Over the years we have had "Wall Street" (lad who reads an investment book), "Speedy" (lady who walks super fast), "Pink lady" (lady who wears pink outfits), "Junior Lester" (man who reminds me of our Assistant Director). Does anyone else do this?
Just found out that Mr Kipling was never a real person. Slightly saddened by this.
Anyway; just in case other people are as silly as me: Mr Kipling is only a brand name.
