Ok, I have no idea where Tameside is, but it doesn't sound like such a bad place. Stay away from Wildside though!!
I used to go to the park and sit under a tree and read with my MP3 player. Really should have brought a foldup chair, cause my ass got wet sitting on the grass. (Been way too hot lately to want to go and read at the park.)
Every town needs a good park bench for flashers, drug deals, and dead drops. I mean, where else am I supposed to receive secret Chinese weapon system plans to pass on to Uncle Sam?
I took a walk there once, met a couple of nice young ladies. Holly was a sweet girl, but she had a secret that I promised to keep.

book covers that look like this: (the text outline is shiny so you can see it better depending on which way you tilt the book) i had to stare at it for a while to figure out what it said. too much going on! theres this one, and a "yellow text on yellow background" book that irks me too. I cant see the title!!!
Yeah, parts of San Diego are absolutely covered in them. But then I live a little bot away from there and nobody would be caught dead with them in this spot. Culture specific areas I think.
Financial journalists who presume to tell us why the markets are down. Right, Maria, all the investors in the country suddenly became so concerned about a COVID variant that they decided, collectively, to sell off their holdings.
I absolutely know i shouldnt judge what people put on hold for themselves BUT...... When you have 8 books sitting on the hold shelf that you've never picked up and request 10 MORE to add to the mass of books you're never going to pick up... It irks me to no end! You are essentially making it so no one else can checkout those books. Also, i had to put 12 books on hold for someone (2 whole series). Those books are due back in 6 weeks. If they can read 12 books in 6 week, more power to them. Otherwise, you are basically doing what the other person is doing.... Claiming them so no one else can read it. Spoiler: Rant ahead (Ps. Im not judging what they check out... Im not even judging how many books they may or may not read at a time. Im judging the fact that those books are just sitting there on the holds shelf that they may or may not pick up...... And then they get mad when, after a week and they havent picked it up, we give it to the next person in line for the items. No. We are not going to hold your 18 books until YOU are ready to read them. Dont request them if you're not going to read them!)
Low-life mothers who speak to their kids like they’re something they just scraped off their shoe. You know the type, the kid strays three feet from their heels and the whole town hears “Kyle!!! Get ‘ere... NOW!!” Is it any wonder these kids grow up to be scumbags too?
Y'all don't have a maximum number of holds? That sounds like a no-brainer. Wild wild west out there, as far as libraries go.
I have a couple of... relatives... who don't get on with each other and have the classic "screaming out the window of one trailer (caravan?) at the relative in the other" family feuds. On their public feeds on Facebook.
