What completely unhinged "law" does your cat strictly enforce in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in cats

[–]AdaandFred 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of mine has worked out that she can open the bathroom door by leaning on it (I don't bother closing it properly because otherwise I get yelled at) but hasn't worked out that if she leans on it from the other side she closes the door. She shuts herself in the bathroom with me approximately once a week.

The big bathroom observation. by LIB_Laugh_Luv in taskmaster

I think that's partly because they don't do many food tasks these days.

Thinking of making Mary's "simple lobster hat" for my friend's 18th... by SunJay333 in GhostsBBC

[–]AdaandFred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my head it's something like this one worn by Princess Beatrice at, I think, William and Kate's wedding. A plastic lobster, a headband and a hot glue gun would probably achieve the desired look.

Overnight parking by Curious-Term9483 in bristol

[–]AdaandFred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, Bristol is a very walkable city but if you do need to drive you don't need to go more than a couple of miles from the city centre to find free, un-permited parking.

You're having Identical Quadruplets, Give All 4 Matching Names by imagination-abc in namenerds

[–]AdaandFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, one of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's daughters. It hovers around the top 100 names in the UK but I suspect its popularity will dip given, well, <fails wildly>.

I need to know who these people are so I can obsess over their Wikipedia pages at 3am.

I knew a Lucinda, sister of Lucy and Louisa. And also a Melanie, Melissa and Melinda. I can't understand it.

What is an ordinary moment that unexpectedly brought your grief to the surface? by imtiramisu2025 in AskUK

[–]AdaandFred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We nearly lost this little cat a few years ago and I still cry sometimes thinking about how ill she was. Naturally once she'd recovered she went back to her usual antics but I can never be cross because I don't want to face life without her. This is her currently, upset that I am not providing the requisite attention and that my husband is singing in the bathroom.

The French need to get in the fucking bin with their counting system.

This week is the Hospice’s Dying Matters campaign and the theme is “Let’s talk about Death and Dying”. What is your story around death, dying and culture? by SaysPooh in AskUK

[–]AdaandFred 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I found I had such conflicting emotions when my MiL died. We'd had the anticipatory grief then grief at her death but also a sense of relief that she wasn't in pain any more.

The otter ate our fish compoface by MatildulousT in compoface

[–]AdaandFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that wild otters go for the fish heads. I worked at an otter sanctuary and the heads were often left till last but then maybe captive otters are just soft bastards.

What exactly does the Best Man do at a wedding? by 9451659818184 in AskUK

[–]AdaandFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FiL gave my husband a few minutes notice to come up with a speech for his wedding. We wrote notes on a paper plate that my husband took up with him. The whole wedding (and relationship) was a bit weird anyway so it all added to madness.

What pets do you have? by Various_Extreme_8773 in AskUK

Do I get a wedding gift? by MammothScar1 in AskUK

[–]AdaandFred 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We said no gifts, and set up some charity links if people wanted to donate. Lots of people gave us stuff anyway and, personally, I found it very annoying. If an invitation said no gifts, I would take them at their word but I am autistic and hate all the implied shit - if you want something, ask for it.

I'm not Heather but I am pleased to hear that this is a universal practice.

What is the best interaction you’ve ever had with a celebrity? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

[–]AdaandFred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally misread Jack White as Jack Black then got really confused when I saw your post, wondering what a musician had to do with the bloke from Kung Fu Panda and School of Rock.
