In a box. The box is not transparent and you couldn't find a pen to write TEALIGHTS on the outside of it. But that didn't matter because you would obviously remember where they were.

It's a miracle I haven't done this myself. I'm picturing horrible blistering, hope I'm wrong!
I did once reach my arm through the steam from the boiling kettle, resulting in a spectacular blister that lasted for weeks.

In my defence, I think perspective has fucked with the mountain of crisps!
But yes, it's very sad that the bread had to be wholemeal. Might need a do-over when I've finished the loaf and can get some white in instead.

One slice of bread and butter, ready to be slapped onto the slice next to it which is piled high with crinkle cut crisps.

The National Trust has offered me the chance to "win a scone experience". Intrigued by what this might entail. I have to assume it's more than just eating some scones and at least the chance to become a scone for a day, get covered in jam & cream & experience the full range of emotions of a scone.

Fesshole screenshot: I may have nearly knocked out my gynecologist by shooting a speculum at his head. It wasn't my fault. He made me laugh, my muscles contracted, and suddenly my twat was a cannon.
It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...

What im clumsily saying is when you're from a minority group you know. You develop an intuition for how others see you that runs the gamut from "trying too hard" to "hostile" You know from life experience that most people are not racist but that many who are dont even think they are.

i used to live in harrow west, which was 60% non-white, which - if reform are right - feels like it should result in a 40% vote share for an anti-immigration party but weirdly the bnp didnโt do that well
