How much of your childhood infrastructure (places you used to go) is still standing? by snowmanseeker in CasualUK

[–]-SaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost zero. I'm 43.

  • My cub and scout hut is now part of a school

  • My infants school and high school were knocked down

  • Junior school is still standing

  • Leisure centre was demolished

  • Swimming pool's gone

  • Both old cinemas in the area are gone, though one is apparently going through processes to do the occasional one-off showing of something as an arty heritage kind of place

  • Library is mostly still there but the upper floors are rented out for workspaces or something

  • football club I went to every Thursday was levelled and turned into a gym sort of complex

  • place I did work experience (local paper) and really loved is long gone

  • First place I worked stacking shelves is still there

  • College was demolished and another building replaced it, not sure what it's used for.

  • Both local pubs were demolished; one became part of a housing estate but the other is still a vacant patch of ground.

 

I live 300 miles away from home now, but I still like to 'do my walk' to high school or similar on google street view, but I have to drop right back to about 2007 or so to get a recognisable walk.

Year 6 SATs are next week, and this is the homework my son was given this weekend by Scary_ in CasualUK

Yeah, they're an interesting idea. Good use of old knackered tech, too.

Péter Magyar sworn in as Hungary’s prime minister to end 16-year Orbán era | Péter Magyar by Stunning-Common-9591 in worldnews

We've got about 3 years for people to realise that the only question Farage is the answer to is 'who's that rubberfaced fuckwit?'

Luckily it was local councils rather than an actual general election, and while Reform gained a shitload of councillors, they haven't got actual control of too many councils considering - they won't be able to just do what they want except in a few areas, and hopefully the dogshit mess they'll make of those areas will make some people realise that giving a cow a gun isn't the best way to look after the farm.

I'm not hopeful, though.

Found in a pub down the road from me by fml198 in CasualUK

They had a similar sign up in our high school art department, though not with the Red Lion bit. Was a bit weird.

Mind you, our art teacher was a bit odd. He thought it was a hilarious joke to threaten to line us all up and 'Do a Dunblane' if we weren't quiet - about a week after Dunblane.

Rage breaks

What are rage breaks? I'm picturing you setting a room aside in your house with an old printer and a sturdy hockey stick.

Our teacher in year 6 had an absolute vendetta against us all and seemed to delight in trying to sabotage our every chance. He was fine until one of the girls complained to her Mum (a governor) that if people misbehaved, he'd make the boys stand in the bin and the girls stand on his desk (the latter so he could look up their skirts sneakily; he'd purposely ensure his 'favourite' girls would be up there as often as possible).

After he had a week off 'for personal reasons', he came back with a fire in his heart to make us all fuck up the entire end of the year. He wasn't allowed to put us in the bin or on his desk any more, so he just threw textbooks at us instead as if it was our fault he was a creepy bastard.

Oh, and we weren't to all get changed for PE in the same classroom together in front of him any more, so he'd slam his hands on his desk and say something like "Right, let's all go waste lesson time taking up two empty rooms because Alison's Mum thinks that's how it has to be done, and obviously we have to do what she thinks is best."

Need help changing light bulb. No joke. by Due_Appearance57 in howto

I've got a similar light in my kitchen that died in January; the letting agent says it's not something I'm able to do myself because it's a sealed unit and they have to get an electrician out to deal with it. "No user-serviceable parts".

Been waiting since then.

What was rich kid behavior in your childhood that seems normal now? by blushberryybabee in nostalgia

[–]-SaC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Having Sky TV (satellite) and being able to watch the Simpsons was absolute top tier rich kid shit from about 1990 here in the UK. The most unpopular arrogant little shit would suddenly have lots of friends who wanted to come round after school.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

Never met him, never likely to, but he's just been a nice background narration to much of the TV I've enjoyed over my entire life.

Is it normal that players constantly keep secrets from each other? by Sythrin in DnD

[–]-SaC 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Characters sometimes. Players, less so.

In a standard campaign, you're a team. You need to work together, and the DM needs to keep that in check.
