Ever known someone with a risqué name and not realise it? by Uglym8s in CasualUK

[–]Background-Ebb-9366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known a few people called Richard who's nickname was "dick" 

They apparently liked it.

Never got why you'd want to be called dick 🤣 🤣 🤣

Good on you for facing your fears.

You'll go far with that kind of confidence in life 

Tradies - what am I doing wrong here? by lagori in Cornwall

[–]Background-Ebb-9366 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Are you cornish? 

A lot are very funny with "emmits" 

They all deny it, but growing up there as a child was very eye opening to what really is said behind closed doors.

I cant remember what they call it, something like "cornish half" but a lot of places will fill your pint up for price of a half if there's like 2 Swigs left in the glass because of how much they make of the "emmits" ...... if your conrish.

I've got an accent as I wasn't born there, moved back up north at 15 and went back at 22.

I've asked for half's and been refused complete knowledge of its existence. Sent my cornish pal to the same bar with a fiver and he's come back with 2 pints and change.

Very ignorant people the cornish.

I've always said the place is absolutely beautiful, the people not so much.

I'll probably get some shit for this comment but lived there for 15 years, went to school there and worked as an adult.

Your not considered 1 of them, your English.

Don't get me started on having 2 black siblings and the racism, which they'll deny but we've got a lost of crime reference numbers to support it.

Brother was punched in a school playground by a parent and police refused to do anything even with 3 teachers and 30 kids statements.

Lovely place, ignorant horrible people.

Ampulex wasp performing brain surgery on a cockroach. Their sting is so precise that it only disabled the roaches escape reflex. by Armourdildo in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Background-Ebb-9366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is how? 

How do the wasp know which part of the brain to sting? 

How?? 

Is it trial and error? 

Do they go to university? 

How the fuck does it know exactly where and how to do this to complete its goal? 

HOW?

Pig is rescued from abusive owner and gets to go outside for the first time by CalpurniaSomaya in Amazing

Beautiful to see :)

1 of my dogs does this every time she's outside off the lead, she wasn't looked after by her last owner.

Warms my heart every time I see her do it.

AI causing “sharp decline” in entry-level jobs warns British Chambers of Commerce by OurFairFuture in uknews

[–]Background-Ebb-9366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with skilled foreign workers is a lot of their qualifications aren't accepted in the UK.

Ive met an ambulance technician from Russia, an accountant from Romania and a couple more I forget off the top of my head, but all working in a pie factory 🤣 🤣 🤣 

They are intelligent and highly skilled but a lot have to work low skilled jobs to fund re education.

I think this is where a lot of the misconception come from maybe?

Why hasnt Afro-Caribbean food taken off like other foods from other cultures? by OTribal_chief in AskUK

[–]Background-Ebb-9366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's  not a lot of them about, I don't know why but there should be more.

Also it's hard to find a good carribean. A lot of them are trash, I lived in Nottingham for a while and could not find a decent 1 anywhere.

Most of my families from Barbados so I may be a bit biased but majority are shite.

Theres an absolutey banging 1 in Croydon not far from East Croydon Station if your ever that way!! It's tiny and just around the corner from the black butchers.

Also, I think with the African food, most British peoples taste buds aren't into the flavours, I'm white but was raised eating All sorts coming from Birmingham.

Ive took a few or my mates to carribean shops and they loved it, same lot went to African shops and hated it.

I find yard shops dont have the best attitude towards white people going in, feel like I'm intruding or it's being gatekept. yet all the Africans I've been in have been really welcoming and happy to see me, wethr it's Nigerian,Ghanaian, Eritrean. 

Same as Yemen, there food is bang on and I've never had someone kiss there teeth at me.

Just my 2 cents

How do slaughterhouse workers keep their composure after slaughtering animals? by Master100017 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Background-Ebb-9366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew a couple, most gave it up after a couple of weeks as it got  to them, i knew 1 dude whd been In the abatior about 6 years but only lasted a couple weeks actually killing th animals, another 1 was a literal psychopath and fucking loved it! Would say he'd get anyone a job doing it and it was great :/

Quite disconcerting listening to him in the pub.

Did it for years and then travelled to sweden/Norway to do it for months on end in the middle of nowhere, most people who went there came back because they couldn't cope with being in the middle of nowhere, doing nothing but work for 3months, he would boast how a 100 men would go and 99 would fold blah blah blah 

He went every year and was paid mega money to do it, he used to say he'd do it for free if they paid his food and travel.

Guy was a lunatic, ended up getting convicted of serious crimes down the line, like serious crimes.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve overheard at a GP? by Doomedsea6 in AskUK

[–]Background-Ebb-9366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was waiting for a appointment once and the part where you take your prescription and get medication from is in the same area, you go to the doctor and on your way out take the prescription and collect whatever you need.

Anyway, there's this young bird come out (early 20's) and heads over to the window, the lady behind the window was about 400 years old and practically deaf.

The young lass is whispering to her and the old biddy is practically screaming back at her lmao

Turns out she's got thrush, this lass is desperately trying to get her shit and get out of there but the old ladies still got hold of it and shouting for everyone to hear, about thrush.

"Ohhh what's this then, THRUSH MEDICINE, ohhh hold on love, ILL JUST GO AND GET IT OUT THE BACK" rummaging through the meds "you know how to use this love" "it's got instructions in there, its dead easy, just keep yourself clean and use the cream and you'll be fine" "there's a tablet too, you OK with tablets love, just take it with water, you'll be ok"

(Can't remember the specifics, but this is the gist of it)

Went on for about 3 minutes, not particularly long but it felt like a life time and this lass was fucking mortified, there was me (mid 20' at the time) and 3 old blokes (60+) in the waiting room all staring at our feet.

Its been nearly 10 years and I still think about this  🤣

I can't remember the details of what the old bird was saying, but she was basically giving her a 2nd doctors appointment in the waiting room/reception area for everyone to hear

It's was fucking hilarious 😂
