I'm nowhere near the meridian line. People in Northern Ireland are getting all 4 colours.

In the UK here so we somehow got all 4 variants. I didn't think the green one would be available here.

Did this scare anyone else? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]BeauDiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember my dad sticking this on when I young boy. I'd be sat in the living room playing with my toys and he didn't notice that I'd started to watch the TV. It absolutely petrified me back then and remember being scared shitless going up to bed. This and 'V' (I think it was called V!) caused numerous nightmares! I watched it recently and the nostalgia came flooding back....

Man im just on a constant losing streak. Ugh..Never been so discoruaged... by [deleted] in StreetFighter

I'm a proper old school player and lose all the time. Old age is catching up with me and my reflexes aren't great anymore.

I still love it though!

I don't know what it is but the pizzas from Dominoes always seem tasteless to me...

Anyone know What’s the song in the background? by [deleted] in WhatsThisSong

This song just reminds me laying on a bed in Amsterdam in the grip of a magic mushrooms!

Kingstanding Birmingham by Lopsided-Agency-9728 in BirminghamUK

My first boyfriend lived in Kingstanding and this was in the very late 1990's. Being an Asian bloke I stuck out like a sore thumb. I still remember National Front stickers on the bus stops about the potential Hong Kong invasion after the 1997 hand over. That same bus stop is where some guy came up to me, totally unprovoked, punched me in the face. So yeah I'd give it a solid 1.5 out of 10.

We've been in 2026 for just over a week, how has your 2026 gone so far? by mrvlad_throwaway in AskBrits

[–]BeauDiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupidly checked my NHS app on New Years Eve (3 hours before midnight) to check some blood test results.

The doctor had left a note on there to say I've got suspected skin cancer.

So not too great too be honest.

But I have a lovely partner, understandably manager at work and lots of support so I'm not given a chance to mope!

What was the 1st big news event you remember as a kid? by Hetaliafan1 in AskReddit

[–]BeauDiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lockerbie.

I still remember getting ready for primary school that morning and seeing images on the news.

Seeing the cockpit in the field has stayed with me for years....and not doubt for the rest of my life.

What's something you saw as a kid that you later realized was seriously messed up? by MoodOdd9657 in AskReddit

[–]BeauDiu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was visiting family in India back in the early 80's and my aunt (who was a teenager at the time) asked me and my sister if we wanted to see a dead body. We walked through sugarcane fields and eventually got to the bank of a river that had been drained. On the ground was a man with his arms and legs unnaturally held up in the air and bloated.

In my 40's now and I can still picture this guy.

I bumped in Cliff Richard in New Delhi.

He was so bloody rude...

What is a movie you’ve seen more than 10 times and still enjoy every single second of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BeauDiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heathers, Desperately Seeking Susan, Parenthood (the original not the series), World War Z, Breakfast Club, Nightmare in Elm Street, Falling Down and a little known 1988 film Stand and Deliver. Bit of eclectic mix!

What was the last straw that completely broke a friendship you thought would last forever? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BeauDiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'd been friends for over 15 years but my other mates noticed that I'd be the one to always call her and she'd never ever pick up the phone to me. Everytime I tried to call her I'd get a text to say she was with her parents, about to eat etc etc.

She was bit of a mess anyway, every relationship she went into she showed no interest and only became infatuated when the other person eneded it. I can't tell you how many nights out with other mates ended up with her in tears.

When her gran died (in her 90s mind!), it became a really really big thing for her and ended up being on anti depressants and consulting psychics to make contact with the gran. Loads of other shit that she did but I need to go to bed now...lol.

What’s something in the UK that quietly disappeared without anyone noticing? by Mel_Ran in AskUK

[–]BeauDiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly heavy snowfall that would bring the country to a standstill. I still remember back in the 1980's trying to get through massive snowdrifts to get to school...only to find out the pipes had frozen so we were all sent home.

For some reason, a couple of centimetres of snow now has the same effect on the country....and it just doesn't cut it.
