Same sentiments, much longer, bigger gut punch at the end.

I recently re-read Only Forward for probably the 15th time and this passage still delivered goosebumps.

Today was heartbreaking for all of us. Stay strong chap.

Made it all the way through last year. I heard it in a shop a few days ago so I'm not hopeful about my chances this year.

I'm British and work in a bar in Denmark. I'm the only person on the team who does this if I can smell the pissy urinals as I walk by the bogs.

My mother in law's maiden name is Felch. My wife didn't know what it meant until she got to university.

Episode 4, series 1 of Black Books has an excellent running joke about "sitting on myself"

Actual bartender here. I can pour myself a nice, cold beer for nothing and not risk being spiked.

The rest of us have Waylon Jennings narrating our mundane lives in a Dukes of Hazard style. Eh @phlaimeaux.bsky.social ?

I'm now married to someone I absolutely fucking adore and who isn't a dick. Can recommend.

Same. Booked the wedding a year out, sent the invitations not long after and then spent that year realising it might be the wrong thing to do, "But it's all booked and people are coming" divorced 4 years later.

Find someone you actually want to spend your life with. Don't feel obliged.

I used to work in ski resorts and a part of my job was picking up guests from Geneva Airport. There are LOTS of dog owners in Geneva and I used to get there early just so I had maximum time watching these kinds of scenes play out.

the sound of him hitting the floor was so familiar, where had i heard that before...
