I'm not even 40 yet and my grandparents were in their 30s when the war ended. My parents had me when I was about my age now and similar for my grandparents for my parents.
It's making me feel old in that he's referred to as great Grampa and not just Grampa.
It can mean slightly different things, like it could be joking or mocking or taking liberties, or being ridiculous.
Something that I always wonder about people that live in these places is: what do they do for work? There's barely anything around. My only conclusions are that they're either retired, or farm workers.
It's not like you have to upgrade your phone every year. People are on different upgrade cycles in which these devices will be a big upgrade.
I've lived in both halves along the bottom and it's quite accurate. That said, a lot of people in Camarthenshire & Pembrokeshire seem to have quite southernly English accents but are Welsh, a lot are native Welsh speakers so that might give the impression that there's a lot of English people there.
Driving through FUCKING NOTHING is amazing though, stunning views and countryside. I've no idea how the random pockets of people can live there though and not go insane.
I'd like to see a sports specific instance (just something like lemmy.sport) so we could have all the sport communities on one instance, rather than all over the place, and also avoid the weird politics and who's (not) federated with who issues.
Insurance must be the only industry that actively tries not to deliver the service that its customers pay them for.
This definitely isn't real. The cables don't look right around the truck. If a truck had somehow landed on the cables like this it would have pulled the telegraph pole down
South of Scotland is in Scotland. Same way the South of England is in England and the South of France is in France. This is the first time in my life I've heard someone make this claim before
Yeah the bathrooms are kind of hard to miss! I think I'd get a headache from the orangey/brown room.
It's the morning star, not daily star

Why can't we see any pictures inside that garage / workshop though? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?!

Apologies if this is a bit too much information!
I realised recently that my shorts have a netting like swimming shorts do and decided to ditch the boxers and see how it was. What an absolute game changer! I don't know why I didn't do this a year ago when I started running.
Edit: the move must be to another location within the UK.
The Cornish resort may be the picturebook seaside town but, through a desolate winter and a crowded summer, artists, fishers, visitors and locals reveal a community in danger of losing its soul
"....I'm hungry"
"Son, you've been moaning that you're hungry ages before tea, then barely touched your tea saying you're full, and now you're hungry again 20 minutes later. You can finish the tea that's still on the table."
"No. Daaad? I'm hungry"
It has a child lock mode so the settings and start button don't do anything when the child lock is enabled.
But the power button still works and is next to the start button.
My 2 year old daughter pressed the power button 1 hour into the 1hr 30min cycle and now because everything is wet, starting the cycle again means it's going to take nearly 4 hours.
Activist Paul Powlesland says he considers the River Roding to be sacred.
Andy Cowell - who led Mercedes' engine programme through its domination of F1 from 2014 to 2020 - is joining Aston Martin to replace Martin Whitmarsh as its group CEO
Red Bull will use a distinct new livery on the RB20 during the British Grand Prix this weekend.
Get ready to be blown away by this incredibly unique Red Bull livery...
Not sure who to vote for? Compare promises without seeing which party they belong to. Vote with confidence in the 2024 General Election.
Yes, this is cliché, but Jesus Christ the weather is terrible at the moment. It feels like it's been constant rain for months, and even when it's not raining it's grey and miserable and cold.
I just want to take the kids out on our bikes but it's always raining or threatening to. I genuinely think this has been the wettest several months that I can remember, May and June are usually decent but now it's constant fucking rain.
For me I think it would to have a full enough English breakfast with the family, a mug of proper coffee, where I don't have to make any of it.
Then selfishly I'd love to spend most of the day on my own without doing any chores or being constantly nagged: watch some F1 if it were to be on, read my book on the sofa, enjoy a small beer (Tiny Rebel, Clwb Tropica).
Then in the late afternoon, go out for some food for some decent pub food or an Indian.
What about you?
I've recently been really enjoying poached eggs on toast with sriracha sauce drizzled on top, with a decent portion of chipotle baked beans on the side.
I'm not talking 65 or 60mph, but toddling along at what seems to be 40mph for absolutely no reason?! If you don't feel safe driving faster than that, get off the motorway!
It seems to take nearly 10 minutes to get started. What's actually happening? Are the pistons literally unable to move in the cylinders until the engine is warm enough?
