Just to say - this has not been my experience of free healthcare. Not all of it has been great, but most of it has.


I’m from the UK and didn’t learn till I was about twelve. To be fair, that was really unusual though.


Hello fellow Protestant Christian! 😀


When you finish college - keep making/playing/studying music. Play more rugby - when you’re too old to play you’ll wish you had. Don’t sell your mandolin or your acoustic guitar. You’ll regret them both in later years. Buy bitcoin.


My favourite drink after water (which is genuinely my favourite drink) is coffee. I don’t think, however, that I would like to only drink coffee, so I suppose I will have to choose tea. Especially if I can have any variant

If I have to choose specifically then I’ll say decaf Yorkshire tea.


I think it depends on your country. Here in the UK, for example, a college is usually an alternative to a school for GCSEs or A-levels. It can also be for specific vocational training - e.g. art college.

As far as I can tell - in the US college & university are synonymous. They also often use school to refer to the same place.

In the UK, if someone asked you where you went to school, you would assume they wanted to know what secondary (high) school you went to. It would never occur to you that they meant uni!


Any kind of snobbery/looking down on people - especially if it’s based on income or occupation.


No shame in Mr Big. Paul Gilbert is a guitar hero!

Ok - almost no shame…


As someone who is currently using a fairphone 3, I cannot recommend it.

The idea is good, but let down by very cheap hardware. The fact is that, when you get the phone brand new, it’s already a very low end phone. Still having it 3 years later just means that it’ll be even worse. The fact that you can repair/replace most of it (but not upgrade) doesn’t change that fact.

I have been so disappointed with the experience on mine and would’ve replaced it ages ago if I could afford to.

Have to say, though, security updates are good.


Nothing except the fact that I have absolutely no desire to use an iPhone or, indeed, any Apple products at all.



Pay off my mortgage. And those of my siblings. Boring, but it’s what I’d do first…


The second Transformers film was so bad I was actually angry when I left the cinema.


Exactly what I thought of Avatar: visually impressive, but really boring.

Haven’t seen the second one, but I assume it’s the same.



100% this. I’m watching it through for the second time with my youngest daughter (her first time through). I’m a 45 year old bearded man and I love it. This is definitely not just girly TV.
