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…

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??

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…

The Traitors 2026
Who's been watching? I've got one episode to catch up on, so no spoilers! But all that drama with Harriet against Rachel was intense! It's amazing how strongly people get into their theories about who's who based on not very much evidence, but she was on the right lines for once. Who are your favourites? Do you think the…

Donny's got to learn that, just because he is a [removed by moderator - uncivil) bully - he's not allowed to just take other boys countries. Be it Venuzuela or Greenland - he has to accept that wealth doesn't always pay........

National Hat Day - Do you have an interesting hat or story behind one? 👒
Happy National Hat Day! The hat has been around from centuries, and in many form. Sometimes a symbol of status, or to represent a group (Army Beret, Cowboy Hat). I wondered if anyone had an interesting hat or a hat with a story behind it? 🎩 I have a grey and pink knitted bobble hat with my initials from a friend which is…

Do you feel a lie is okay if it's for the greater good?
Recently, the Welsh government have been talking about cracking down on politicians that lie during elections. They're looking to bring in legislation that would mean more Welsh politicians are held to account for knowingly making false statements. There's lots of debate to be had around how that will work, but it got me…
