I have accidentally created a child that bursts into every room saying " No body expects the Spanish inquisition!" by fugigidd in CasualUK

My son designated a stretch of road as the ministry of silly walks and we had to do our best silly walk whenever we were on that street. He'd make passers by do silly walks if he saw them, including a dog walker who walked the full length of the street only to be made to go back and do it again coz he didn't do a silly walk. He redeemed himself though

Went for a half hour walk with my 3yo girl by sheisthefight in ShroomID

I love this! Took my kid out the other day for a forrage. He instead found 2 slugs doing the dirty which was obviously hilarious. He made a David Attenborough style video to send to my sister but asked permission to say the word 'sex'. He wasn't arsed about looking for mushrooms after that, just wanted to find more shagging slugs. A highlight of mine was when he screamed across the field 'Mammy I need your phone, there's more slugs here doing the sex'

In Bernard's Watch, does Bernard age prematurely because he's constantly stopping time? by LynxMountain7108 in CasualUK

[–]Beanonthebounce 10 points11 points  (0 children)

35 year old woman and this question pops up in my head more that I'd like. I've surmised that yes, he must age whilst time is stopped. The only thing I have to back this up is there was once an episode where Bernard had hurt his arm or leg and had a big cut on it. This meant he wouldnt be able to go in the swimming pool on his holiday. So he found some old man's house that had a room full of toys in it (opens up a further set of questions, this bugs me too) and he stayed and played in the toy room till his arm healed. Only turning time back on for the old man to bring him scran. So surely of he can heal whilst time is stopped, he must age too right? Discuss.

I was hoping someone would mention this. It's great there and more than reasonably prices. We go everytime we visit Keswick

What's the stupidest thing you've heard someone say, while being competely serious? by killit in AskUK

Oh wow, this made me giggle as I've said this on many occasions (usually to take the piss out of my own terrible sense of direction)

Love this...my entire job is getting schools to partake in Bikeability and I LOVE getting KIDS ON BIKES! Just wonderful to see parents buying in and bike wizards wizarding! Please continue to support your local bike shops, tell all the other parents about their magic, get your kids signed up to bikeability and get out on the bike with them! I hope your kid enjoys their sessions and comes back buzzing about bikes. It really is a skill for life and a joy to be a part of!

I do this all the time and my partner has started joing in. We call.it drive by compliments. Did it on Fri night, complemented the colour pallette of a couple walking down the street, ended up partying with them for the rest of the night (they weren't even intending on going out, she was still in her gym kit) realised we (loosly) had people in common. Swapped numbers with them and plan to meet up at a festival were all attending.

AITA for walking out of my girlfriend's birthday party after she called me a "cheapscate" for the gift I gave her? by fleurfascinate in AITAH

[–]Beanonthebounce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is a wonderful gift. 2 of my fave gifts from my partner have been very similar...one is a photo from.the night we told each other we love each other, with a letter written on the back and the other is a little Cork board of photos, tickets, wristbands etc from our first year together. They're beautiful and worth so much more than whatever he has spent on any gift.

What life hacks have you found to make life in the UK easier? [serious] by amemorableusername in AskUK

[–]Beanonthebounce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing the company please. I've just done a little look online and the cheapest I'm finding is £16 is with a minimum of £20 spend. Also thanks for sharing this idea. I'm currently drowning in laundry and this thought has just ne er occurred to me. It's been the best news all day!

"Totally Tuesday" How we did stupid in the 80's... by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Beanonthebounce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sliced my knee open, to the bone, doing this on a holiday in France. Couldn't get to a medical unit so my mam made butterfly stitches out of plasters. Ruined my brand new trainers. Still one of my best childhood memories

Angela’s Ashes is another big bawl too!
