IWLTS it is 2023

This is Frome. I dread to ask.

[Luna]

What a load of bollocks. Aspirational shelter. Is it something totally different aspiring to the lofty heights of being a shelter?

[Luna]

Is it aspiring to more than being used for fags, drugs and white lightning?

[Topcat]

Frome have outFromed themselves.

[Texaco Shirley]

I have asked the question on the FB page.

Frome have outFromed themselves.

Which is quite an achievement.

[Topcat]

It is almost impressive. :lol:

:lol: Please feed back.

[Texaco Shirley]

It is almost impressive. :lol:

Of course there is the other side of Frome. I give it a week before someone has set the hammocks on fire.

[Topcat]

Old Frome!

Hoonestly though. Aspirational shelter indeed.

Last time I visited Frome (about a lifetime ago) it was a shithole. I'm assuming it has had a do-over since then?

Eta wrong thread.

[Texaco Shirley]

Bits of it are still comfortingly shit but a lot of it is quite fancy in an overpriced artisan way these days.

[Margo]

I bought my first proper telescope in a shop in Frome, years ago. It was a pretty little place, if overpriced and with shit parking.

[Luna]

Both of those need unpacking.

my mum’s father-in-law died of a heart attack on Wednesday. He was house bound. The hospital have added Covid as a cause. He didn’t have Covid.

[Lily]

Is it where they ASPIRE to put a shelter?

He may not have had Covid at the time, but it could have led to heart problems I guess. A friend has severe lung problems which they've said are a result of Covid. :(

IWLTS Can you just think a bit more/take a bit more care?

Youngest is home for the summer and while things are probably the best they’ve ever been (hence why I’m saying it here and not to his face), his normal teenage lack of thought/care is starting to wear thin. He leaves doors unlocked and windows open, messes the kitchen up at least 4 times a day, drops coffee on the carpet and doesn’t clean it up and he’s just smashed three plates from a set we only bought a few months ago because he was bringing them down from his room precariously stacked on a tray and they fell off. :verm:

[lazzbo]

How old is that kid? His dad is being totally remiss.

[Chicky]

He’s 19 now and is reminded about this stuff daily, it’s just in one ear and out of the other.

[Pippedydeadeye]

This gives me no hope for the future.

[Chicky]

To be fair, 6 months ago he wouldn’t have brought anything down from his room at all, so that’s kind of an improvement
