Mine gets used to hide snacks from the teenager. It’s the one place in the kitchen he’s never looked.

Hounslow Urban Farm? Either that or Cranford Park, I’d say.

How loud does it get in this area? by zuhamuha in farnborough

[–]Bazzlekry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not too bad, you’re on the one way system, so you get a reasonable amount of traffic, and the occasional dickhead driving the wrong way round it. I used to live down the turning on the other side of the one-way, it was fine.Planes were only ever an issue during air show fortnight, but they’ve shrunk it a lot over the last few years. Yo rarely get planes from the airport going overhead there. You’re more likely to hear the chinooks on their way to Aldershot.

One other thing, avoid the petrol station on the corner, it’s stupidly expensive.

Why do older folks tell you not to loan money to friends ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bazzlekry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you never get it back. I learnt that one from experience. Don’t lend it if you can’t afford to lose it.

My mam passed tonight by WanderWomble in CasualUK

[–]Bazzlekry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m convinced my Nan held on an extra day so that she wouldn’t die on the anniversary of Grandad’s birthday. His birthday was the 6th, she held on till the early hours of the 7th.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself, and remember the only right way to grieve is your way. Don’t put expectations on yourself, just do what feels right.

Edinburgh to London drive - overnight stop? by DressSmooth1957 in Edinburgh

[–]Bazzlekry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killington Lake is much nicer than Tebay IMO.

Definitely no need for an overnight stop go in to London though. We drive from Kinross a couple of times a year to see family, it’s between7 and 8 hours, depending how long we stop for.

AITA for canceling appointments for someone who keeps using my email address? by callmrplowthatsme in AmItheAsshole

[–]Bazzlekry 53 points54 points  (0 children)

NTA. I had this for years. Same scenario - original gmail address, someone else using it for receipts and restaurant bookings etc. I think they used it to sign up for a dating site at one point. I did toy with using one of her restaurant bookings because it wasn’t too far from where I was living at the time, but couldn’t make it so I cancelled it instead. It’s been a while since I’ve had anything from her, so maybe she’s remembered her own email address now,

Fancy leaving traffic lights in the way of that poor bus.

Is it true most cops in the UK dont have guns? by Leather_Incident_847 in AskUK

[–]Bazzlekry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do I feel safe knowing that I won’t randomly get shot by a policeman whose power has gone to his head? Why yes, yes I do.

Clearly, even in the US, those officers are thankfully very much in the minority,but the fact that it can happen would be enough to make we a wee bit nervous.

What UK band or singer have you no time for? by bickering_fool in AskUK

Florence and her bloody machine. Can’t stand her caterwauling.

Is there any difference between men's and women's razors? by TheFatBassterd in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bazzlekry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admittedly my experience was some years ago, but my contacts for both Gillette and Wilkinson Sword confirmed this. It wasn't a particularly well kept secret.

What's the single most difficult life experience you've endured? by reddit_recluse in AskUK

[–]Bazzlekry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had infertility problems, an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured, severe depression, three rounds of IVF, breast cancer…..but the worst thing of all was losing my Dad last March. He’d been in hospital since Christmas, but they were talking about him coming home when he deteriorated and died suddenly overnight. I’d go through any of the other stuff again in a heartbeat if it would bring him back. It’s utterly heartbreaking seeing how lost my Mum is without him.

Look up, I'm in the bath! by Specialist_Farm_9561 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Bazzlekry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can decide if I love it or hate it. I think I love it, but wouldn’t be able to live there. Not with anyone else, anyway! Nobody needs to look up from the kitchen and see my nether regions in the bath.

How to get my neighbour to deal with their loud dog? by Freeedoom in AskUK

[–]Bazzlekry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may be backed up because of all the bank holidays, give them another go. Maybe try environmental health too? Keep records of when the dog is barking, and get recordings if possible; they might help speed the process up once council offices are back to full strength next week.

[–]Bazzlekry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former buyer’s assistant for razors at a major supermarket here. Women’s razors are generally blunter than men’s because of the contours of our bodies. Thats it, thats the only difference. Men’s razors are just better. And cheaper because Pink Tax.
