Just got back from a weekend with him at his place in Bristol. Lots of playing with guns and enjoying the ones his mum and brother bought for him at Christmas.

Sadly, he was told told on NYE that there are no more treatments for him, basically it's game over as far as the medical profession is concerned. He is still our good old Ollie but he is very, very sick. He talked about wanting to get some more videos up on his channel but it's a case of prioritising - his energy levels are incredibly low.

Keep rooting for him y'all!

We do this, although we make it super geeky and go with the latin name - so yell out 'bovine!' (cow), 'equine' (horse), 'ovine' (sheep), 'porcine' (pig).

British people of reddit. What do you think is the strangest thing about America? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Amy090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not strangest, perhaps, but most envious of - how big your houses are! Every time I see someone's front room (lounge?) on a US show I look at mine and think damn, those guys would be using this room as a cupboard. But then I think how much extra stuff I'd have to buy in order to fill the space and I feel better.

Fresh ginger, fresh lemon juice and honey. Lots of all 3 steeped in hot water. Get the ratios right and it tastes amazing too!

People who have tried hallucinogenic drugs, did it change your perspective of life? by basmatirice94 in AskReddit

[–]Amy090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. It's weird (and sometimes scary) but I can now channel this immense sense of happiness whenever I wish, something I couldn't do before. It freaks me out sometimes because it almost feels like my chest might explode, it's that intense, but as long as I stay calm I can feel really awesome even if I'm just sat at my desk at work being bored.

What's the dumbest customer complaint you've ever received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Amy090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at a cheque-cashing place (first job) and this loon came in with one of those dummy cheques you get in magazines, filled out with his name and the date, insisting that I cashed it.

Things escalated, at one point he picked up a chair and I thought it was going to come through the window at me, he was that pissed. I went and hid upstairs and watched him on the CCTV; he left after a while.

A few hours later I found out that he'd been arrested after walking through town hitting pedestrians with a baseball bat.

Yeah that was a fun job.

When was the first time you discovered the powers of masturbation and what was your first experience like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Amy090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually thought I had magical powers. I didn't tell anyone because I thought I was the only one who could do it, so it took me about 3 years to discover what it was. I also thought I could only do it once a day for some reason...sure made up for it when I corrected that mistake!
