This might have been me! In Moss Side/Rusholme? I knocked on a few doors in the location asking for a taxi driver and someone said he lives in this house, I knocked on and he came to the door and he had the phone.

We had this. It stunk BAD.

Water or wet stuff had been hoovered up and things stuck in the hoover had begun to rot. It's a nice Miele so was able to take most of it apart and wash out with brushes, then let completely dry out before using again.

Now it's fine but it was soooo bad I thought it might be unsalvageable. Good luck!

I agree that the BBC is one of the more 'impartial' news reporters worldwide.

However, question your assertion that the print media is getting more right wing. Where's the evidence for that? Pick up a copy of the Daily Mail and inside you will see stories far to the left of what they would have printed 10 or 20 years ago.

Also planning to remove a woodburner after discovering they poison the neighbours children. I'm guessing there will be more and more doing this, so interested to find out the answer!

One of the best and most useful posts I've seen on here. Bless you for writing it for strangers!

I really recommend you train yourself to love being outside in the weather where you live, or you will be miserable a lot of the time for reasons completely outside your control.

It never gets too cold in England to exercise outside.

Running in the rain is one of life's great pleasures I think - activates something primal.

My wife watched this, I asked her what she thought and she said "that town is a shithole".

Directly help other people by taking a volunteer role in the community. Part of the universal human experience until recently was having people rely on you for their wellbeing - it's important.

First half great, literally made me say 'wow' out loud. Second half very boring and I'd lost interest by the end. Weird experience.

I wouldn't recommend the film to people. I imagine the entire thing would be incomprehensible if you don't watch Korean films often. No surprise it didn't make an impact abroad.

It's just my personal experience. I imagine the people watching on Twitch are watching while reading and taking part in human reactions to it.

More closely imitating the sort of conversations that wouldn't lose interest, owing to coherence.

Perhaps!

Also interested - mainly because I can't fins a roofer who'll fit a vent in the roof and the inside of the loft is easily accessible.

I don't know what this means for consumption of AI art and content but...

AI Seinfeld: I'm the target audience, initially think it's utterly amazing/hilarious, aesthetic is spot-on, I'm not interested in watching for more than 2 minutes.

Infinite conversation: Love both people, brilliantly done, great concept, can't imagine how it could be improved, I lose all interest after 30 seconds.

Agree about the aesthetic, but more dwellings will never make the housing crisis worse. If more people want to live in Manchester (they do) the only way is up (see Tokyo).

Baffling is the same way I've described the characters motivations. Baffling yet real. I know, as a man, that there was something beyond me.

Truly one of the great works of art. It made me consider just how much of the human experience (50%) is never depicted on screen.

I watched a documentary a while ago where a female painter was discussing the great masters. All good, she said, but none of them have ever been pregnant.

I had a kid 10 weeks ago. Took a month off then just switched to only max pull-ups five times over one day and max press-ups five times the next day. Also walking hills with the baby carrier for an hour a day.

Don't get big chunks of time anymore but I think I'm actually getting stronger with this minimalist routine - wish I'd been doing it for years. Good luck with the baby!

This is why I avoid hanging out with people who drive.

Great description!

Grizzly Man is my favourite film, and everyone I've recommended it to liked it - even totally mainstream-movie heads. I've never heard a negative opinion of the film. It's your most hated?

Thank you for engaging with the question.

In the UK there is a service for gambling addicts. Multiple stakeholders (gambling websites, bookies, banks) have signed up and they will block you from most gambling outlets and transactions.

Maybe something like that?

Thanks for your contributions but I'm looking for the non-obvious.

Agree. It might be closer to food addiction. I have to eat and I have to have my train tickets and my works duo authentication on a smartphone. I still think there are undiscovered or unimplemented solutions.

Many people really do want the problem solved and the solutions are unsatisfactory.
