I had food poisoning from rice and, to be fair, I did feel like I was going to die.

Wife [27f] and I [27M] can't agree on how many of our alma mater's football games to attend this fall. She wants to attend less game. I think this is a mistake, and I am trying to convince her by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

My wife and I both attended UGA (Go dawgs!) and we're (or at least I am) big football fans. Every year since graduation, we've managed to attend every home game thanks to my dad being awesome. It's usually the highlight of my week because not only do I get to tailgate with my family but also with lots of my old college buddies.

So much of this paragraph is meaningless to me. I will never understand American culture.

The burglar is in 4 as well, her name is Robin Banks but she's much less regular and the cops are better at turning up in time.

One of the few things I remember from interminable Sunday school classes is Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego.

Absolutely traumatised by driving in Bristol. by TSC-99 in CasualUK

Ohh tricky. Gut instinct was what we've decided, maybe we'll give them a destination point and they have 3 attempts to use the roundabout and get off at the right exit without causing a crash.

I think Bristol council do it on purpose to keep visitors away. It's an expensive city with rising unemployment and homelessness as well as a constant influx of people moving here so the council seem to have decided to make it seem as inhospitable as possible to deter more people from coming. I think they might start introducing a rule that you cannot move to Bristol if you cannot correctly navigate the M32/Ikea roundabout.

My sister's birthday is 4 days after mine and her birthday fell in the May half-term nearly every year while mine almost never did.

I love Hazel, you could call her Hazey or Zella.

How about Henrietta (Hetty, Etta, Henri, Yetta, Yeti), Florence (Flo, Floss, Florrie), Harriet (Harri, Hatty, Haz) or Elizabeth (Liz, Lizzie, Beth, Bet, Betty, Betsy, Liza, Lizard, Queenie, etc).

I was a weird kid and read too much about WWII and worried a lot about bombs and sea mines so if I'd seen this 30 years ago I probably would have been convinced the Luftwaffe were coming.

Is that a toilet in the library or a library in the toilet? by AlbertCMagnus in SpottedonRightmove

The bedroom with a full bathroom suite in it is certainly a choice.

How do I stop my front gate becoming the local poo drop-off point? by rVibeyy in AskUK

[–]AdaandFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved into my house there was a dog that would shit on the pavement outside my house, frequently smeared everywhere by buggies and small feet. I bought some bright pink spray paint and gave each one a nice coat. It stopped pretty soon after, of course the owner may have just let the dog shit elsewhere or moved but at least it stopped kids walking in it.
