I think it's pretty simple. In any given situation, don't be crap. This means you.

I read somewhere that a parent's job in life was to make themselves unecessary to their children.

Parent does everything for a baby, but as the child gets older a parent teaches them to do more and more stuff for themselves: getting dressed, tying shoelaces, reading, good study habits, time management, relationships, cooking, good financial practice, etc. Eventually the parent has nothing left to teach the child and is no longer necessary (though hopefully their company is still appreciated). That would be the point at which the child becomes an adult.

Science and medical had to rush the guy before security even joined the fight.

Also, Staffordshire oatcakes and steak and kidney pudding? Hardly ‘forgotten’!

We have !recipes@feddit.uk but it’s pretty quiet.

Don't be crap. This means you.

1 star: it failed to properly cleanse me when I used it for an enema.

If you know, you know.

My dog's a fucking idiot. I wouldn't trust him to carry a nerf bullet.

The kind of nonsense poker that 14-year olds play with a deck made of four or five different (and not necessarily complete) packs of cards. That's what kind. It was mostly for pennies and therefore silly fun. This game was different.

The people who can least afford it are the ones with the most 'hope'. Gambling companies prey on hope.

In a side note, I love playing the 2p pushy machines you find in arcades in seaside towns. But I don't ever think I'm going to win anything.

In a side, side note, my five year old once really, really, wanted a particular toy from one of those claw machines you get in the same seaside arcades. I told him it probably wasn't going to happen but I landed the toy he wanted first time. I was a god to that boy for the rest of the day!

Early 1980s. LPs from Woolies, video games from Boots or WH Smiths (I think mostly Mastertronic titles for £2).

More than once I swapped the £1.99 price sticker on a budget game for the £9.99 price sticker on a premium game, mostly in Boots or WH Smiths in Dumfries. Fun bonus fact. This was in the days before EPOS systems and barcode readers at the checkout. Only a bored teenager on the till between me and illicit Commodore 64 glory. I do still wonder if anyone ever bought any of the cheap games for the full ten quid though.

Note: not all Mastertronic games were bad. I loved Kikstart, Finders Keepers, KP Skips Action Biker with Clumsy Colin (I had to look that one up), and The Last V8 - though I think maybe the Last V8 was in their premium £2.99 range.
