Re: Netflix's Adolescence - What are your thoughts?
@toffuna101 thank you so much for the reply!! Would you rather Jamie do rehabilitate or not, which do you think would add more to the story?
@Amy22 I think it's fascinating that you haven't seen it yourself but have seen so much content around it because it's so big at the moment that you can give such a detailed comment about it! Thank you so much for your comment, how has the content you've seen around made you feel?

Re: Netflix's Adolescence - What are your thoughts?
1. I watched all of it last night at like midnight hehe
2. I think it would have been interesting to see more evidence of Jamie's journey from simply seeing these messages online and him saying himself that he doesn't really agree with it, but slowly having it influence his behaviour. I think it could be super important to know what to look out for in terms of changes in people's behaviour and so young men may even be able to recognise it in themselves!
3. I think it raises a lot of questions about what can actually be done about this? We know it's rising, but what does everyone here think could be done to help reduce this toxic masculinity going around? Also considering this shows demographic isn't necessarily going to be the young males this show is primarily talking about!

Should watch parties replace the Topic Thread on the last Saturday of each month?
Hihi guys!!
As you may be aware, we used to run Watch Parties wherever we could and we are still aiming to do this on the final Saturday of each month. However, we’re aware that there is already quite a lot going on at The Mix on weekends so we do not want to bombard you. So, we wanted to run a poll to get your feedback on whether you would like the watch parties to replace the topic threads (if you are unfamiliar on what these are, you can read about it by going to this post) on the final Saturday of each month, starting with a potential watch party on Saturday 31st May!
This will not impact the topic threads for April, and would start from May onwards.
We are also working hard behind the scenes to plan more fun activities for Mondays and Fridays, and will be in touch regarding quizzes and potentially some other fun stuff very soon!
Thank you guys in advance for your feedback, it is super valuable to us!!

Re: It's Celebrity Big Brother!!!!
@Amy22 Okay... maybe I am interested. But I feel like it would entirely depend for me which celebrities are actually in there!
To be honest when I was younger I wasn't a huge big brother fan because I didn't get the hype or the concept of the show especially as its basically celebrities who already are probs on a good income and if they win they get more money on top of that. I have a feeling they do probably get paid to go on this show as well because I think some of them may not do it for free or out of free will I don't know. But recently the revival has been much more interesting and better actually than what it used to be. I do love the era of Kim Woodburn and Gemma Collins too because they were funny and Kim was super honest with other people in the house. What I will say was that the other night I didn't like how the celebrity Mickey rourke treated Jojo Siwa because he seemed very rude towards her and very biased. Just because jojo is part of the lgbt community doesn't mean that you can still have the audacity to be rude to her like. I was surprised he's still in the house with the behaviour he's shown especially towards the women celebs.
@Redemption yep David from Corrie who is played by Jack is in there this year. I do actually like him to be fair. He can be quite quiet at times but I think it's because of one celebrity taking up more air time than necessary really.

Re: Vacation 😎
@Redemption It feels like they filmed Top Gear episodes eeeverywhere so I'm sure they did! I went with my partner, and we went around museums, went to the zoo, checked out some recommended restaurants and cafes etc!! That sounds suuuper nice, the countryside is especially pretty in Wales, and I think staying in a motorhome would be a fun experience hehe
