We heard on the radio today about a somebody who’s named their dogs after rock stars. We’ve been at it too. We had Lzzy and Slash in aquarium and now we have dogs called Myles (Kennedy) and Ronnie (James Dio). How do you name your pets?

How's it going everyone?

I'm on day two of a migraine, skipping my day festival in leui of painkillers and chill TV watching/game playing.

Who's having a roast today then?

My brother just got a new chocolate lab pup. Say hello to Alfred. He is nine weeks old.

Spotted on ebay...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393741633581

I heard today a hilarious story about a person trolling an ebay seller. The item was listed with a £10 target price, which the person thought was not going to be offered, so made an offer of £5. The seller replied with £7.50. Okey then, my offer is now £4.50. The item did not sell. The following week the item was listed again. The person offered £3.50. The item did jot sell. The following week the item was listed again. The person offered £2.50. The item did jot sell. At £1.50 the seller was becoming rather upset about this approach. What was the reply, you might ask. “See you next week.”

Apparently drinking iced coffee in this heat, makes me not British. At least according to the old man at the local café, as I walked out with my drink. So what is a British drink on hot days?

Where do I hand my passport in?

Why is it idiots can't tell the difference between alternative opinion, and the truth. When I use the term, alternative opinion, I do mean lies and fake news. They then cry that they are being censored by the world.

Also, what the hell is a dry baby in this context?

go on

"The whereabouts of the duck is unknown."

So much going on in the world and yet so many rubbish news sources find non-news stories like this.

Just for the record, I pronounce it 'Spanish Risotto' and if I want to sound really Spanish, I will call it 'España Risotto'

She has other options. Her bed is 2ft away, her spot by the window is 4ft away, the bag of coat hangers is on a sofa bed, and a pillow is right next to her, but she's chosen to sleep on a bag on coat hangers the last 2 days.

Every so often she shuffles them around to get more comfortable and the hangers make all rattling noises.

I really don't know how to feel about it.

What the hell is happening? A bit risky on your genitals.

Maybe this is just me, but in the short time I have been here, I have changed my avatar at least five times. I've only been here four days. I am like this on any social media platform. Then the bio, what the hell do you write? They always say something like create an honest description. But if I'm honest, nobody will dare associate with me, just like real life. Both my avatars and any form of bio are far from the real me, I mean some of it is representative of me. If you read between the lines, but mostly it's all rubbish. I hate the avatar and bio, and who ever invented them all those years ago, should be shot.

Am I the only one?

Should I get the 1kg long grain rice at £1.25, or the same 1kg long grain rice at £1.60?

For the first time in weeks, I woke up and it feels like Autumn/Winter. It's quite a nice refreshing break from the hardcore sun we've had recently. Makes you appreciate the sun more once it's back.

How we all doing? How are we finding things on Feddit and Lemmy in general?

Have a natter.

The horror!

I created a new community/magazine for British/UK comedy discussion - sitcoms, stand-ups, etc.

One of the below should work, I've found that pasting the URL into search works best for Lemmy:
