Exactly.

It was all in good fun from what I can tell.

Overly vague details. Has Kate Ford (Tracey Barlow) left Corrie for good or is she just on a short break? Yes, no to which? Why aren’t we getting a tangible answer to that?

Dr Ramani’s narrow, big-5 take on introversion and extraversion. It’s valid as far as it goes but … like, girl, you have a whole PhD in psychology and you’re a whole world-buff on narcissism. You should be beyond using candy-crush anecdotes (“it’s okay to put your feet up and just do that in a hotel-room rather than socialise; locking in with candy crush and pizza on a Saturday night is just such an introvert thing to do”) to refer to complex preferential cognitive trends. You’re too smart for that. Would you not just have a cup of tea and label yourself a light-caffeine-o-vert going by the extent of that logic?

And why did the little you do know have to be mostly inspired by Irene Hernandez? Girl, please.

I love her but dislike the narrowness of her take on introversion/extraversion psychology. That and the fact that she puts out interviews when she’s ill knowing she’s looking very haggard and unkempt with an inflamed nose and sick-friz in her hair. She needs to know her limitations and scrub up on them. The limiting view of some thing that her adherence to big 5 gives and … ya. Just stay in bed and drink plenty of fluid when you’ve got a bad cold or Covid. The world doesn’t need another narcissism video from you when you’re neglecting your health that day at that expense. Go to bed and come back when you’re replenished.

People who don’t think they can learn anything from someone younger than them. Yes, there are certain things you might have more direct awareness of because of more general life-experience, but everyone has their niche and a lot of things that could surprise you. Their niches might be quite a fundamental part of their existence but you’re just not aware of it because you don’t know them as well as you think you do, or maybe you do but you just don’t know this about them. And that’s okay. Life’s full of uncovering and discovering. Just remember to be a little humble and remember that age only makes you more experienced, not smarter (if anything it’s more the other way around). Everyone has something they’re at least a little smarter about than the average person and we can learn lessons from them off that bat alone. Especially when there are unique experiences connected with them. And a unique experience is a unique experience, whether you’re 18 or 180. You might’ve gone through something really tough that the average person couldn’t relate to.

‘Why doesn’t Liverpool-Liverpool have a Waitrose? Why’s (wo)mandem got to go to Formby or Chester just to shop at Waitrose (without getting an online delivery)?’

‘I think Waitrose is a little expensive for the average Scouser.’

‘Liverpool’s home to people from all corners of the world (world in one city, low-key) and the indigenous city itself has a lot of affluent areas. Don’t use Kenny or Tuebrook as the defining marker of the wealth that is in the city. Go to Childwall, Gateacre (where many, many rich Jews especially live, alongside the general affluence), Woolton, Allerton, Grassendale, Mossley Hill, Aigburth, Hunts Cross and the at least nice-housed parts of Halewood, West Derby and Croxteth (etc.). Liverpool is full of affluence and well-to-do areas, as well as the poorer. It’s not inherently a poor city through-and-through, and even some of those areas have decent spots/nice enclaves. If your cue about the whole city is coming from The Sun … what are you even doing reading that rag in the first place?’

… ya. Liverpool needs a Waitrose.

These recent ITVX warnings about strong language and upsetting scenes. What do people expect from half of these shows these days? When did people become that quick to take offence?

I remember when Amazon put up a trigger warning for one of the Reacher episodes for Finnley smoking a Cigarette.

It was honestly the most pathetic thing about Reacher Season 1, it was a very good Season in general though.

I remember being completely flabagasted.

The constant notifications from Facebook from pages you’ve liked over the years. Enough is enough. It didn’t even used to be a thing until very recently.

Also. The fact that I’m the only one who seems to want to update this thread on a semi-regular. Pull through, mandem. It can’t just be me.
