I always mention that my milk is soya milk, rather than just deliver a non-greasy beverage lacking in farmyard smell. (I don’t actually phrase it that way!) The reaction tends to be disappointment.

I’m 54. However, I grew up in the sticks and have never been good with technology. (These can be two separate traits. I’m not trying to offend anyone.) Also, I didn’t have money for electrical goods at any point in the 1980s.

I don’t have a clue what you’re on about. So, there’s that.

I can guarantee tea with soya milk in my house, or black coffee.
If you have different tastes, just don’t show up at my house. After all, I didn’t invite you!

It’s pretty difficult for delivery drivers not to glance at phones, given that deliveries are now controlled by apps. Some are paid well enough to install an attachment to their dashboard; others are not.
The route should be initiated before the journey begins. At busy times, it isn’t!

Thanks for informing me. Perhaps teachers weren’t allowed to mention groins, back in the day. Or, possibly, it’s a detail I blanked out because many of the pupils at my secondary school were more precocious than I was, so I felt out of my depth.

Indeed we don’t, but I strongly suspect you know why this is happening.

If your partner is ageing faster than you are, that’s an issue.
However, it may be that your partner loves you enough to relax into the comfort of your relationship.
If the latter is true, your partner deserves to know that this isn’t the safe space they assumed. Be gentle, though.

Topic/genre, then how closely the books in those merge into the adjacent topics/genres. Colour organisation is for original artwork, not for finding books.

I’m in a class with someone called Iona-Mae. Not only would it be rude to sing, “Should’ve stayed at home yesterday”, but she’s 18 so probably wouldn’t know what I was on about.
The other people of a certain age would, though.

This feels like the 21st century equivalent of Neil Kinnock appearing in Tracey Ullman’s My Guy video, except Keir would have to keep on appearing in content. Maybe he could have his own version of Cool Britannia and we can cringe at who he invites to his parties.

No, I haven’t. And I’ve done some huge farts too. When I was about 13, I did one that lasted around 10 seconds, while I was practising doing the splits!
Maybe all that bending and stretching resulted in an unusually flexible colon? I really don’t know.

Hurt? I suspect you might have a fissure or a haemorrhoid. Something is amiss, surely?
