It's also a village in Worcestershire, although that's two words.

I just found it funny in contrast to the others, but if it works, it works.

I love all these. But what I particularly love is that there are three really clever ones and the fourth is like, fuck it, let's just call him a bellend.

I'm plan one and mine won't get written off until I'm 65 (took it out before 2006), but I'm not making any payments due to working part-time in a public sector job.

I don't plan for this to change as my health won't allow me to work more hours or aspire to a higher paying job, so I may never make more payments. But I have probably paid back everything I borrowed when I was paying it, and everything that's left is the predatory interest.

I could tell this was Lidl just from the font on the prices.

If I want to boycott American, buying Lidl and Aldi own brands is an easy way to do this, yes? I'm doing this by default because I have an easily navigatable Lidl that I can walk to.

It's so exhausting!

So this is fun: actual snake oil (the type made by Chinese railway workers) probably had some medicinal benefits. However, white "doctors" co-opted this for their medicine shows; it contained no snake and was just mineral oil, so this is where the term has its origins.

Maintenance Phase podcast did a great episode on medicine shows.

We have these in Europe. Ours is from Ikea and the button is at 38c. I've also seen them in holiday places in Spain. They work really well.

How did I not notice this!?

Obviously someone with a cursory knowledge of photo editing works at the estate agent as they also superimpose their logo across every screen.

It's the stuff of nightmares for anyone with sensitivity issues. So much brightness and so much noise bouncing off every hard surface.

With you 100% on ceiling spots being evil.

You know, I only just realised they have office style blinds, the type with the white plastic string of beads, in every room.
