Poor Legolas. Dwarfzoned. That’s gotta bugger up your elf esteem.
Right, now that I’ve made some truly horrific puns for which I should probably feel some measure of regret, welcome to Monday.
What’s on for your day?
Alright, it's bed time for some but why are you still up? No work tomorrow? Watching some questionable late night TV? Bit of stargazing?
The chinwag thread.
Not for the first time, it's basically the norm now. It's just solo artists and collabs. That seems mad to me, I guess it's all just about individual image now. And that people can create music without multiple musicians so easily these days?
That said, I think the current number 1, Messy by Lola Young is an absolute banger so hopefully it's not a case of "old man shouts at cloud"!
As per the title.
For the first time i'm nearing getting a new kitchen fitted. I'm already a little lost trying to pick who to go with, as seeming no matter who you pick there's about as many people who tell you they only ever got half of what they paid for and it all fell off the walls in two days as there are people who say that was the best company with the best quality and prices.
So to clear my mind a bit, i though i'd ask if any of you lot had any little hints or things to avoid/deffinitely do when getting a new kitchen?
Like maybe you shelled out for some fancy feature but it never really gets used, or alternatively you got something you thought might be a gimmick but has ended up being super usefull?
Who knew printing books was so mind boggling. Very impressed!
Booking a couple of days away.
Used a "well known booking site", found a hotel, gave them a ring and booked.
Sister does the same.
Mates do the same.
Do people not try to book direct?
I fondly remember my Dad giving me 2 PG Tips Monkey plushies that came free with the tea. I haven't been living in the UK for a while, but even when I visit, I still don't see any... have they been killed off?
Spent the afternoon in Westminster abbey yesterday, and hadn't really appreciated just how many famous dead people are here or have a memorial, found it all a bit overwhelming tbh..
I have been the victim of stinging nettles several times. It always stings at first and is initially uncomfortable. But after about 10-15 minutes, it actually feels pleasant. It’s hard to describe. Almost invigorating and a some kind of pleasant pulsating feeling. I can feel something good coursing through my veins. Anyone else?
So impressive
Does anybody remember that ice cream that came in a little plastic toucan with spiky hair? Having severe nostalgia today about trips to Woolacombe & eating it as a kid.
Does anybody know if it’s still available?!
Is there a better way to round off the week than with a quiz? A nightcap of knowledge to end your Sunday, preparing yourself for another week. We are here with another selection of five testing rounds.
How well do you know your cricket, Chris de Burgh, and costs in 1995? Find out all this, and much much more as we delve into a tricky test of trivia talent.

I’ve just been speaking to a friend and we have been coming up with the most potentially chaotic and/or strange thing you could do as a host (or guest).
Anything from slightly bizarre (bringing along a pinch pot of self-raising flour) to straight up weird (clearing out all your drawers in the bedroom and leaving a framed photo in each of the guests so when they go snooping as a group, they’re met with the drawer shrines).
Can’t wait for the next supper club!
Hey folks! So a week or so ago I posted this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/s/uwPmxPoPgN) and had a lot of great / lovely / funny / weird responses from you all.
Just wanted to give an update….
So date 1 went reaaaally well. 🙃 I was predictably nervous as shit and sort of in awe of her in person, so I definitely didn’t take in everything she said… it was a bit like trying to hear someone while also staring into the evening sun and while white noise blared really loud in your ears… you know? Lovely… but hard to take stuff in! But it was a very cute coffee date and I managed to remain coherent enough to decide date 2!
We planned date 2 (dinner and wine 😊)… but then before that booking came around we snuck in a walk the day before, so date 3 came before date 2 😄, real cute stuff.
Dinner and wine was amazing… stayed til the restaurant closed, then chatted and such all night. Just got home. She’s a bit of a delight. Super lush. What a time to be alive. 🫠
Just wanted to share that wholesomeness with you this morning Reddit. I’ll probably leave it there unless anything significant happens in the future!
Have just the most incredible Sunday internet friends! 🙌
