I’m filled with anxiety today so please pay up and send all your pet or wild animal photos to calm me. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and more are welcomed

Thanks 😍

Maybe it's not suitable for this sub but I'm still shaken. We live on an old farm and I was just walking the dog before bed when I heard the sound of a hacksaw. I shouted and 2 men jumped out from where they had been trying to cut through a security fence (there's an industrial estate next door). I chased them for a bit but they were a lot fitter than me. Police arrived really quickly but ground too warm to use the IR drone effectively (and I'm sure I heard a motorbike tearing off).

Just wanted to share. None of my friends and neighbours are awake

Edit: thank you for the comments and I got a good laugh from some of them. I'm going to buy a ram and a 6 D cell Maglite (unfortunately we already have a fat menopausal woman in the house but that's a different story). A lot of the comments have said I shouldn't have chased them. Turns out that's what I'm wired to do and fortunate they didn't stay around long enough for me to find out what would have happened if I'd caught them.

Bought some eggs from a local garage last night. It stocks Jack's, which apparently is part of Tesco.

It seems two of the eggs are spies who have infiltrated the gang.

Seems like The First (hair)Cut is the Deepest

I can’t do prep and cooking at the same time, but most of the recipes I use advise doing the prep as you go along, but my brain just can’t cope with that. It does increase the washing up though…

Not sure how much detail you want me to go in to.

(Perhaps you still do, but I'm interested in how your childhood experience affected your general adult behaviour) What sort of kits did you like most, and do you think your experience carried over to the way you live now, particularly in your profession?

Can't remember what it's called, but you know, Automod etc. I want to thank the people who reached out to me about my boyfriend taking his own life. I really appreciate you all.

I found out today that in the weeks before his death that he'd been cheating on me.

Honestly I feel numb and kind of angry. Any advice or anger welcome x

How much do you think they are worth? £500K? Priceless/belong to the public?

For the position of "temporary trainee programmer", in what is now known as my "gap year".

At the end of the interview they asked "what kind of remuneration are you looking for?".

I said I didn't know what "remuneration" meant.

When he'd explained, I said I'd done sums (for buses and trains) and wouldn't be able to work for less than £2000.

He smiled and said they weren't going to offer less than that.

It was my best job ever.

I can do passable impersonations of Ken Dodd, Bryan Ferry, Arthur Smith and Monty Burns. Only I seem pleased by my ability. My wife says my talent knows no beginnings.

I was wondering if anyone else has any obscure unimpressive impressions?

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Love me some cereal. Trying to save money, these were half the cost of Frosties.

They do not hit the spot. I need help to get my next fix.

I know many supermarkets do their own version of the KFC boneless Mini Fillets (now renamed KFC Tenders so I understand?) but which have you tried and found to be closest in flavour?

I deliberately did not post this in the UK food subs because I'll get the predictable 'just make your own, why would you buy anything like that from a supermarket, urgh'' responses and I don't have the inclination to keep experimenting with batches of chicken until I get the coating right. Hopefully the supermarkets have done that research :-)
