What would you study?
If you were given the option of a free undergraduate course, you didn't have to consider money or finances (including jobs after the course) and you had all the time needed to learn it. Just purely what topic you would most love to do at university. What would you go for? Personally, I'm struggling between picking…

tired
I have just learned that they want to reform benefits again and as I fall under limited capability for work I would be affected. I am tired of living in fear all the time that I will starve or become homeless because nobody in power cares. I am feeling completely hopeless and I don't trust that things will get better. I've…

(Lack of) relationship & family members passing
Didn’t post this in the relationships section but feel free to move it if you think it is better suited there. Thanks. As a result of my circumstances, I am not interested in having a relationship. I have never had one and am not sure I ever will either. I wish I could have one but I am not able to. It boils down to all…

Your £100 billion super project
If you had the resources of Musk/Gates/Bezos, forgetting about the obvious stuff like the houses, cars and helping family, which would use up a few billion at most, what would your “super project” be with the other hundred billion? E.g. Space exploration Fight poverty & clean water Bail out the NHS Cancer cure Etc... For…

Any Animal crossing lovers in here?
Apologies if there is already a thread on it, but are there any other animal crossing lovers? My son bought me the switch last Christmas and I've found acnh so relaxing and it takes my mind off of my pain. Also am a big fan of fall guys too. Wasnt very happy when my 61 yr old sister said I was too old to play games at 51!!…

To what extent can health issues or disabilities be used to excuse bad behaviour?
I thought this could be an interesting topic. It is something that has been on my mind quite a bit. Without wanting to disclose too much, I have some experience of this as I have family members who exhibit bad behaviour - ranging from slight rudeness to full-on abuse. This behaviour is regularly put down to health problems…

Outdated customs/etiquette you hope die
Thought this could be a nice topic and not too controversial. Someone on another thread mentioned that in their opinion the etiquette of keeping your elbows off the dinner table was outdated and silly in the modern world because it doesn’t do anyone any harm. Apparently it was invented when diners used to fight at…

Old traditions/customs that you do like?
Opposite to the other thread…are there any old fashioned traditions that you really like? One tradition I find amusing and quaint, but harmless. I wonder if anyone else knows about it, is regarding sharing port towards the end of a meal. The rule is that you only pass the decanter of port to the person on your left, never…

New car incoming!!!
I actually ordered this in May but I had a PIP review ongoing and didn't want to share in case I jinxed it and was not awarded the correct amount of PIP. It's been hard not telling anyone. It is a Mini John Cooper Works. With 230 horsepower...in a Mini. On the Motability Scheme. Honestly when I saw this was available on…
