What Are Your Favourite "Cult Classic" Film & TV Shows?🤩🎬️
My local cinema have been showing David Lynch films over the weekend and one of my friends is a big fan of his and so we went along to watch Mulholland Drive. I had never watched this film before, despite my friend saying "but it's a classic!!". It did take me a while to get into it and get my head around the plot but I…

A surprising fact about me is...
I had a pet tern called Terry! My mum worked for the RSPCA and we had a myriad of animals come and stay with us. It was a very fun time and felt like I was living in a zoo sometimes. However, it did trigger my fear of birds as we housed a parrot for a few days and it absolutely hated me 😰 Tell us yours!

The Marx Brothers - Favourite Scene.
Does anyone have a favourite Marx Brothers scene? My all time favourite comes from the 1935 movie "A Night At The Opera". I can hardly believe it was made 90 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCyR113uZ_o

What's the last thing you ate?
I'm sure we've had what's for breakfast, what's for lunch and what's for dinner before. But since some of those discussions have fallen inactive, let's combine them all and include everything in between! So tell me, what was the last thing you ate? For me, it's a Rennie antacid 😂 sad as that is! Before that, it was an…

I love...
Inspired by Biblioklept's discussion about things we don't like, I thought we could share what we love too! I love getting cosy under a big blanket with a cup of green tea and some biscuits. I also love learning about unusual topics, such as bread clips and bus stops!

I don't like......
Crumbs in the butter! Living alone I don't have to worry about it but I was watching a recipe video just now and they opened their butter and there were toast or bread crumbs all in it 🤢 I know really it's a minor thing but it irritates me 😆 What mild annoyances or things do you not like??

Anyone tried walking groups?
There's a women-only walking group launcing in my area in a few weeks time and I'm really considering going to it, at the moment only the organiser and 1 other person have signed up and if it's that small I'm wondering if I can manage it, but probably not. The set off point is almost directly outside my house and you can…

Things that are criminal offences in UK
I like number 9….. 1. It’s Illegal to Handle Salmon Suspiciously Under the Salmon Act 1986, it’s a criminal offence to handle salmon “in suspicious circumstances.” This law was introduced to tackle illegal salmon fishing and black-market sales — but its ambiguous wording has made it a favourite example of Britain’s odd…

Being a teen again?
Did you enjoy your teen years?? I was thinking of a question for the 'would you rather' thread and it got me thinking about being a teenager. I quite liked my teen years but never understood why people always said they'd be the best years of my life (or some similar idiom) but most people seem to hate their teen years and…
