I guess you could have b-owel as well, but I like “teat” since that’s an actual thing.

I’d usually just say “the teat” and let the lucky recipient of the joke build the full punchline themselves.

They absolutely do work, and I can’t recommend them enough - this is coming from a male mid-40s divorcee. I was on and off Tinder for 4 years looking for a relationship and met several women, before finally meeting my soul mate. For somebody like me who isn’t the most outgoing person, they were a godsend in terms of meeting people. Some of the negativity in these responses is wild.

They’re a relaxed, accessible mechanism for starting conversations. Yes, there’s incentive for the companies to keep you on the apps but it’s certainly not forced, because if they didn’t ever work, their incentive for use evaporates.

I am 100% of the opinion that people who have limited luck on dating apps are likely to have the same limited luck in real life. It’s just that the apps present you with multiple “opportunities” in succession that you don’t get in real life, so it could feel like constant rejection for some. If you match with a real person and start a conversation that goes nowhere, that’s down to yours or their communication, or a simple incompatibility. Both parties have already shown an interest at the point of matching. Where it goes from there is down to you.

It’s entirely a numbers game. You can’t expect to hit it off with every person you match with online, any more than you could in real life. But you will find someone that you otherwise wouldn’t get the chance to meet through other circumstances.

Common incredulous question when someone acknowledges they haven't watched Breaking Bad. This newborn is unlikely to have seen it.

Now I’m no expert, but I’ve a suspicion this could be a political metaphor.

The title of the post.

Belonging to fly, or fly is?

It does have those exact single paned sash windows mind you, which rattle with every passing car.

When the kids complained years ago about how cold it was in this house, I put blankets in the living room for us all to wrap up in. We've since upgraded to duvets. I'm currently on the sofa under a double duvet. It's 9pm and 22 degrees outdoors.

You're welcome to crash in my 150 year old 2-foot thick stone wall house with fuck all insulation that's unbearably freezing year round.

It's one way or the other in this country. Sweaty new-builds with no air con, or ancient glorified caves that wouldn't heat up if they were on fire.

I reckon it was a grammatical joke based on the incorrect apostrophe.

United have Arsenal, City and Chelsea within the first 5 games. Relegation battle from day one, I reckon.

I mean, Wales has a fucking dragon on it.

Yeah, if you're Swiss, that flag is a big plus.

In fairness, the 10th gen Civics (in Europe at least) looked absolutely badass compared to pretty much any other family hatchback when they released. They were a lot pointier and aggressive looking than their boring counterparts.
