Re: Who is your teenage celebrity crush? What do they look like now?

Steffi Graf and Belinda Carlisle. I finally saw a Belinda Carlisle concert outdoors a couple of years ago and it was pure nostalgia, despite going on my own I really enjoyed it

Just seeking to tap into the wisdom of the hive mind as I find personal experiences more motivational than dry statistics. Since 2005 I have been taking a mood stabiliser and an antipsychotic to keep...

Re: Older and disabled? How do you keep yourself entertained?

That's a good point, quite a mix. Although I often forget about Radio 4 Extra on my smart speaker I have quite enjoyed some old science fiction there at times.

Re: Older and disabled? How do you keep yourself entertained?

Thanks. I remember growing up my Mum really liked the Afternoon Play on Radio 4 so maybe there is good content on Radio 4 or Radio 4 Extra for me.

Re: Coffee shops - do you prefer independents or chains?

In the couple of years since I discovered Yorkshire Gold, it's always been my favourite. I won't order tea when out in case it's just PG Tips or something. Twinings Assam, Clipper and Bewleys would...

My social anxiety, and to a degree personal choice, has meant I have been living a fairly isolated life since 2015. I've been living alone since 2015. I pass a lot of time watching YouTube etc., but...

Re: Good Christmas shows/films on Netflix or Disney?

I haven't seen Love Actually, but it looks like the kind of thing I would enjoy. As examples of things I did enjoy, I liked The Holiday and also the seasonal parts of Bridget Jones's Diary.
