Adult friendships & everyday life.
Making friends as an adult, finding something to do at the weekend, or celebrating the joy of cancelling plans? This is the forum for everyday life and the things you wanted to tell someone. Talk friendship, home life, hobbies and small pleasures, with room for the wonderfully random.
I’m Total Slag, and this is Slagsnet. Somewhere for petty dilemmas, dating disasters, everyday nonsense and the things you absolutely had to tell someone. Pick a Slagvatar, start a thread…
Lisa Scott-Lee finding out “Get It On” with Intenso Project was only at No. 23, despite being B-list at Capital, remains one of reality TV’s finest moments. The disbelief. The…
Starting again in a new town and everyone seems to have their people already. I don’t want to run. I want to get a coffee, have a wander and send…
Kill Jackie offers Catherine Zeta-Jones as an art dealer whose dangerous old life catches up with her. The general fantasy of being a woman with resources, nerve and a spectacular…
Do famous faces make The Traitors better, or do you prefer arriving with absolutely no idea who anyone is? Celebrity casting gives us instant baggage. You can think somebody must…
The Traitors does dangerous things to the part of the brain responsible for buying clothes appropriate to your actual life. Suddenly you want a dramatic country coat, a serious boot…
Strictly voting is a very revealing little exercise. Some people assess technique. Some reward improvement. Some have decided a contestant looks like they would help carry a sofa and consider…
All eight episodes of Kill Jackie are available on Prime Video, which raises an important domestic question: do you want the whole thing at once? There is a respectable version…
The round table is a terrifying format for anyone whose face looks guilty when a waiter asks whether everything is all right. There is always a point in this sort…
Catherine Zeta-Jones as a wealthy art dealer with a dangerous past is quite a pitch. Most of my dangerous past is a fringe I grew out in 2009, but I…
What do we actually think of Strictly this year? Enjoying the dancing? Missing something? Already defending a favourite with the intensity of a barrister whose client is a nice man…
I agreed to brunch, a birthday drink and a film night because each invitation arrived separately and I apparently lack the backbone of a wet napkin. I now want to…
Back in April I waved enthusiastically at a woman in a café because I thought she was someone from my old job. She waved back. By the time I got…
Everyone is out having a lovely time and I am happy for them. But I have a big potato, clean pyjamas, fresh sheets and a series with eight episodes. Please…
I can’t get enough of him. I grew up listening to his radio shows, and I’ve got him as my phone screensaver; the unlocked screen, so only I can see…
A bit of credit where it’s due: Lauren Cowell has really put herself out there this year, and I think it’s impressive. The Times has a piece about her campaign…
The plans were casual. The hair wash was a commitment. Cancel while I’m still on the sofa? Lovely. Cancel after the shampoo, conditioner and full blow-dry? We’re going out. Even…
The weekend has gone suspiciously quickly and Monday is standing in the doorway with a clipboard. What’s waiting for you tomorrow, and what small thing might make it less grim?
You can spend all day laughing with someone at work and still feel oddly formal about asking them for a coffee on Saturday. Apparently friendship needs a calendar invitation now.…
A friend is going away for four nights. I offered to pop in and water her plants because she lives two doors down and I thought it would be a…
