You don't need a Ring doorbell. 14/10

I was just going to recommend coconut oil. It makes amazingly crispy roast potatoes.

Thank you! It's a couple of months until it's my pick so I'll be in touch nearer the time

I'm going to make this my next book group pick so if you notice a small uptick in sales in the Whitstable area in the next few months, you'll have me to thank.

I'm so sorry. He looks like the absolute best boy.

It's giving Nick Heywood vibes

I was delighted it was her. She was high in my suspect list (although everyone will say that).

I love this piece and think about it during every episode. Still doesn't mean I can guess what's going to happen, mind.

Proofreading is about so much more than spelling! Consistency, layout, a bit of fact-checking, etc.

Either of those would be a strong start. They're both well-regarded training providers.

I'm a proofreader. The best place to start is the @the-ciep.bsky.social. There's loads of information on their website. And no, it's not a terrible idea. It's a very rewarding job, and also flexible if you need it to be.

Two knee replacements have changed my life this year. To be able to walk without pain is a truly wonderful thing that I will never take for granted again.

I loved Misty! I was starting to think I was the only one who remembered it. Which would be a very Misty thing.

What does it say about me that I'm a middle-aged woman who received a copy?

And that's a bad thing?

I know someone in their fifties who is one and has been for years.

Pastels ❤️

I think so. It's a bit hazy tbh

I was there in that field! My one and only Glastonbury

It's got to be The Wizard of Oz for me. Not a Christmas movie per se, more of a family tradition

I can't work out whether this recipe is a piss take or serious. Either way, nice work.

I'm very much here for this Anon literary criticism.

We saw one in a car park the other day and commented that it looked like two cars spliced together with a fake Ferrari badge attached

They've printed it off and stuck it on the wall. Classy.

Look! They've reinvented the notepad!

It's not reinventing the wheel; it's reinventing the piece of paper.

Kent. Philip Larkin. Strictly Come Dancing.

Daddy! My daddy! Lump in throat every time.

With the waiters dressed as monks. And wine served in wooden goblets.

So they're using ... bin juice? 🤢
