Do you have any 'house rules'? If so, what are they?

[rich!]

Sat alone in the spare room demanding a series of things be brought to them from the back of the kitchen cupboard?

jebus you're describing my late cat Ninja right there. Never knew he'd missed a career path.

Sometimes you have to.

An old friend of mine brought her new friend from the PTA or somewhere round - ‘she’s new in town, she doesn’t know anyone’ - fine. White South African, fine - interesting. Big mistake thinking that might lead to a satisfying conversation. After she’d shared her thoughts on emancipated ‘blacks’ and how shocking she found it that so many black people in London were professionals who expected to be treated as her equal, I asked her to leave. She asked if I was joking, so I said no, I’m not joking, here’s your handbag [picked it up and pushed it at her], get out of my flat and never come back.

Later that evening, my friend rang to say I’d embarrassed her, that she’d had to comfort this horrible cunt, and how could I…I put the phone down.

Yeah, immediate eviction level offence that. Surprised the other friend stood up for her. Says something about the other friend that they'd have a go at you too.

One of my sisters in law is South African and white. She’s anti racist. As is her mother.

Last time I spoke with my anti-rascist white South-African relatives they shared how they felt so sorry for the blacks as they "haven't got any culture". Difficult to know where to start with that one...

The bathroom door doesn't have a lock, so don't close it unless you are in there. When you want to watch TV, for the love of god, please DON'T use my profile on Netflix, I don't want my Netflix full of your random crap

My favourite thing about kids watching Netflix on their parent's account is when it confuses the algorithm into suggesting something like Peppa Pig alongside a load of grim Scandi noir series

i did a search for shark films on Prime recently and among all the fairly nasty horror pics and a couple of documentaries there was Baby Shark!
