  • step_one_sian — strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it 19:57
  • step_one_sian — recipe that works in four bites: anything at all on a smaller plate. the plate is the recipe 19:58
  • sharps_comedy — unrelated but i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is the only illustration this channel needs 20:03
  • vacuum_vic — it is 4 degrees and horizontal out there, which is at least good weather for a parcel 20:15

is there a sharps bin that doesnt look like a sharps bin, my mother in law is visiting

KM

raining here for the ninth day, is it doing that everywhere

[edited]
SO

how many people in here own a jewellery scale for entirely legitimate reasons

CC

we are three years into the standing bet and the goalposts have moved twice, we shall see

SO

my money is on nothing shipping and all of us still arguing about it in 2028

CC

36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem

we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused

update from 17 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter

how hot is it where everyone is, purely for shipping reasons obviously

i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend

whats the strangest place anyone has kept a vial while travelling

TT

swirl dont shake is on a magnet on my fridge and it has now outlived two fridges

swab drawer

[edited]

anyone got a recipe that survives being eaten in four bites

the jewellery scale gets used for coffee beans more than anything else and it was still a good purchase

the dog has learned the fridge sound and is furious every single week that it is not for him

is swirl dont shake going on a t shirt or are we just going to say it forever

alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here

TO

raining here too. it has been raining here since approximately the founding of this channel, someone check my working

SA

i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk

cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now

LN

right so does anyone elses dog know the fridge sound means nothing for him

AA

slightly off topic but the fridge thermometer has become a personality trait and i am at peace with that

OO

i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats
