    Those scenes sound really cool and interesting @Amy22. Thanks for sharing those scenes with us! I, clearly, need to watch The Graduate.

    Knitting/crocheting sounds good too, along with the library book. Are you knitting/crocheting/reading anything in particular at the moment? :)

    Oo well I got a book by Stephen Kind called 'Fairy Tale'. It's a bit slow but good I had to renew it tho cause it takes me forever to read lol

    The pace of reading doesn't matter as much as the enjoyment of reading @Amy22! (ignore those that say otherwise).

    Glad you have been enjoying reading it. I can hear about the frustration of slow beginnings though, hopefully, it will get more exciting soon :)

    Hi @FordRanger. What would you like to talk to us about this evening? :)

    Hi, we can talk about anything, I just prefer not animals and maybe the chats avoid talking about them
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,299 Part of The Furniture
    As this is general chit-chat, I will share that I went to see some Christmas lights this evening followed by a hot chocolate and chicken nuggets. Anything to make our souls happy, right? :)

    @Amy22 Hello!! It's been a while hehe. Sorry, I'm mainly looking at the support chat but I hope Ed and Laura here can keep ya entertained <3

    @FordRanger Unfortunately animals are a popular topic so I don't think they'll avoid talking about them, but you're definitely welcome to always talk about what you want to as well and someone will join in! I haven't been up to too much tbh, I know I need to help my dad pick up his car soon but he doesn't know which car he wants yet and he's so fussy

    Hopefully, we can help reduce your boredom @Chloe234. Is there anything, in particular, that you enjoy doing when you feel bored? :)

    I guess reduce talking about them, maybe in general if I ask to move on people should try their best to as it can be uncomfortable for me and maybe the odd other member, plus when I'm talking about a topic I try my best to move on. For example I was e mailed told about Top G reduced talking about him. Like I don't mention his actual name as I'm not allowed. Anyway, is he trading the 108 in?

    @FordRanger I can definitely hear it's frustrating for you if it's a topic that makes you uncomfy, especially because it comes up a lot :/

    Nah he's not trading in the 108, I'm gonna keep it and he's gonna get his own car. The thing is he isn't the best driver lol so I'm scared he's gonna get something big

    I hear you @Amy22. Not quite braved my Christmas-themed clothes yet - need to get more into the festive mood first!

    Glad to hear you think it's going to be a good Christmas though. That sounds really positive and hopefully, your playlist being ready can help you to get into the festive mood sooner :)

    It's just I'm not intrested in pets much and it can make me feel uncomfortable. I didnt want to say much about this as its personal but a few years ago my sister was going to adopt one but me and my family didn't so it resulted in our whole family having argument about it as they arent fans of pets either, it caused a pretty bad argument. So sometimes it makes me think of that argument when people bring up pets. So it's probably best to try to reduce talking about them, maybe talk about them here and there but not everytime. I know it can be a popular topic though. I talk about cars which isn't against the guidelines (that i know of) sometimes people don't want to and want to move on which I try to.
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,299 Part of The Furniture
    It sounds really difficult that this can make you feel uncomfortable @FordRanger. We are always open to also talking about things that make you feel comfortable.

    It sounds great that cars are something you like to talk about! We are open to talking about cars too. Do you have a particular favourite thing about cars? :)

    Ah it's always tricky when topics bring up difficult memories for us @FordRanger - Good to give it a flag to others as it helps us all to be mindful of these things, but equally we can't guarantee pets won't come up. At these times, we always encourage people to take a step back from the thread.

    Did you uncle decide to upgrade his car in the end? Feel like I have missed out on updates over the last few weeks!

    @FordRanger I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. That does sound very stressful too.

    @Laura_tigger82 I actually need to find my xmas t-shirt, as normally my college does a xmas jumper day but I wear the t shirt as a bit of a joke thing. I.guess I've always done it every xmas lol

    Ha, that sounds like a great joke @Amy22, especially as it's something you've always enjoyed doing every Christmas.

    Are we allowed to ask you about your Christmas T-shirt? Mine is a Disney themed Christmas T-shirt, of course B)

    Yh I meant just in general in the chats too maybe avoid it and maybe sometimes to. I could take a break too whenever people so talk about them the odd time

    Hes not upgraded yet but hopefully at some point
