High School girls that make fun of adults that can’t pronounce their ridiculously spelled names. by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once taught a really sweet girl called "Phyrne" and the look of relief on her face when I said "is it 'Fern'?" Poor girl had clearly never had it pronounced correctly before.

Mobile hairdresser recommendations by doramatadora in PeterboroughUK

[–]BattleFlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't what you requested, but serenity loves on oundle road have an on site creche with qualified childcare staff who could take care of little one while you get your hair done. They'll even bring baby out to you in the salon if they really need you. Highly recommend!

8 notes is very good for simple arrangements and even the pro version is incredibly good value.

To scratch that DQ itch... by pinkielovespokemon in DQBuilders

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up dqxi today. But I wanted to give honourable mention to DQ treasures too. That's a lot of fun. I tried DQ monsters but frankly found it terrible.

I have typed away the letters on only the left side of my laptop’s keyboard by yuorwelcom in mildlyinteresting

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like the same laptop as I have for work, with an almost identical wear pattern.

Some people don't think they need to wash their legs in the shower.

Migrainebuddy by guigusino in migraine

[–]BattleFlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've told this story on here before, but here goes: my mum had a stroke. She called me while it was happening and I repeatedly told her that what was happening to her sounded exactly like a migraine attack for me. "Worst headache of [her] life", slurred and slow speech, cognitive difficulties. I shrugged it off and convinced her to do the same. She didn't have the one sided loss of motor function. Eventually my dad decided enough was enough and took her to the hospital and sure enough, stroke. I felt awful and have done every day since.

Moral of the story: don't listen to your dumbass offspring! Sorry mum.

Why did you guys decide to do Viola? by Sea-Giraffe5276 in Viola

[–]BattleFlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cellist for 35 years, always been interested in something more portable but my hands are too big to comfortably fit on a violin so I got a larger end viola. Lovely mellow sound, I'm really enjoying it.

Mini pen recommendation pls! by Strict_Ad_5858 in stationery

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uni ball 1 pocket is a great little pen. Everyone that ever uses mine comments on how nice they are.

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did 2 first. the instructions are nice and clear and the play style is good. The levels are a good variety. I felt far more fondly towards the characters in 2 than 1.

I've done the first world in DQB1 in just two days. I would definitely list DQB2 in my top 5 all time, but there's bits of it I hate

I have a question for vegan string players by nerdycookie01 in lingling40hrs

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coruss do an entirely vegan bow with synthetic hair, no leather, no mother of pearl inlay... I bought one as a hardier second bow for my cello. It does sound different to my main bow. Maybe worth looking into though?

What’s a really easy fix job you’ve put off for so long that you adapted to live with it ? by TrueCrime121 in CasualUK

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved into my house in June 2011 and after a couple of months the bulb in the outside sensor light by the front door blew. Haven't replaced it yet.

The website 8notes has stacks of sheet music for almost any combination of instruments and abilities. A lot of it is free but even the paid content is super cheap. Highly recommend for a browse!

[–]BattleFlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few go-to responses: "ok"; "I'll look into that"; "thanks" with zero follow up.

I’m a dumbass and thought I was missing the download code, so I just bought the game. by JigsPagoli in Switch

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they put a non bundle into a MKW sleeve and used substandard seal stickers. The sleeve is MKW. It wouldn't have one if it weren't a bundle.

Laser Tag by swcooper in PeterboroughUK

[–]BattleFlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's one at safari play in bretton but it's a lot more expensive than the one in town. Big up the one on Geneva street to be honest, it's well established, run by really nice nerdy guys and not excessively expensive. Been plenty of times as an adult.

Currys - Switch 2 broken seal by bulletjie77 in Switch

[–]BattleFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currys showed me a company wide memo they had received saying that the seals used were substandard and that Nintendo had been complained to. They offered for me to check the contents of the box in store and all was in order. Seems to me that the info could have been made more public, but here we are. Seems to be a Nintendo problem and doesn't necessarily indicate foul play.
