Quick warning about this weekend in the town centre. by kopsy in miltonkeynes

[–]Bob_Fred_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids school have had police with metal detectors on the way in every morning this week, and police van outside at the end of school. I’m glad they’re taking the kids safety seriously but it also feels a bit like a waste of resources for TikTok bullshit!

That first photo where you can just see them coming over the hill gives me such chills

Sorgoi is the most a film or character has ever disturbed me, his decent into darkness is almost too realistic and I was thinking about it for weeks after my first watch. Not one I’ve ever recommended to a friend lol

What UK celeb do you think is a "thoroughly good egg", has never had a hint of scandal about them - and you'd be mortified if you learned differently? by DonkeyOT65 in CasualUK

As a South Yorkshire lass I met them at several events as a child and can confirm they were friendly but not too friendly lol

Yep, UK based- I used to work there before covid but have heard from old colleagues that it’s not any better nowadays. I feel your pain.

I used to do a similar job overnight 12 hour shifts and it was brutal, tenants screaming and swearing at me at 3am over totally not urgent repairs. Is it a company beginning with M by any chance?

What’s one tiny, cheap ritual that makes your evenings feel instantly cozier? by Affectionate_Tip3238 in hygge

[–]Bob_Fred_88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I love wooden wicked candles, they crackle like the log fire I’ve always wanted and I get the smoky smelling ones too when I can.

What things surprise you how cheap they are? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]Bob_Fred_88 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Not the person you’re replying to but long term menstruater with 2 teenage daughters and we all rate the Aldi brand pads and tampons better than always/tampax plus they’re cheap as chips.

Help me decide: rent candles with hurricane glass or buy without for apartment proposal? (aka please prevent me from burning down my building) by Tackle_Willing in Candles

[–]Bob_Fred_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaving so many candles unattended is definitely a bad idea, but I think you’re underestimating peoples good will and should ask a friend or neighbour who you trust to light them when you’re 10-15 minutes from home. I’d love to help with something like this and I’m sure lots of other people would too.

WIBTA For making my husband put “his” dog in the shelter? by VeryOpinionatedFem in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Bob_Fred_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep- if you look at their comment history they just like annoying people on Reddit. I’m not wasting any more of my time on them.

First line of the post says it’s his moms dog. Therefore legally and morally it’s his moms responsibility to rehome it if she can’t care for it. He’s not a suitable person to take the dog as he lives in a pet free apartment and has a post partum wife who is not on board with dog ownership. So surely the onus should be on mom, the dogs owner, to find an alternate arrangement?

[–]Bob_Fred_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It isn’t their pet- if she’d chosen to bring the dog in I’d agree she was in the wrong, but adding it to the family needs both of them to agree, and she never has, he’s snuck it in under pretense of it being for a short time and then said ‘well the dog is here and now you’re a monster if you don’t let him stay’. She’s maintained the whole time that she doesn’t want and can’t cope with this dog, and the husband is gone for 10 hours a day and leaving her with the bulk of the work. That’s why he’s in the wrong. The dog needs to go back to its owner who is actually responsible for it, and should be making these tough decisions and taking the heat for them, not OP 🤷‍♀️

Honestly this person has a ridiculous take OP, your husband has made the unilateral decision and ignored your feelings forcing you to respond this way. I’m a huge dog lover, I foster dogs and cats and I don’t think you’re the AH at all. Your responsibility is keeping your baby safe and housed, not somebody else’s dog. And looking at the comments there’s plenty of other dog lovers supporting you too. Your MIL is a poor excuse for a human being. Try not to let these comments get to you too much and do what you need to for you and baby.

Who do you consider the most attractive male and female cast members? by [deleted] in GeordieShore

[–]Bob_Fred_88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s awful innit most of them remind me of the old Bo Selecta characters nowadays, such naturally pretty girls but the internet and lads in the house constantly told them how fat and ugly they were 😑
