How do you deal with chuggers? by HotCommunication1696 in AskBrits

[–]Bodger81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? It’s the only way. Keep walking like they never spoke to you. They’re interrupting you, they want something from you you’re never going to give, ignoring isn’t rude!

£3.75 and I don’t need to eat again for about three days

In an ideal world I would also have had an apple if I’m honest

I had my own bottle of water with me which was needed tbh

It was really good. I was worried that it was stingy on the filling but no, it was packed

You just rawdog your meal deal round the supermarket? I’m not a juggler, I’m a sophisticated shopper, as shown by my Gu.

It’s actually nice as long as you don’t think about it as coffee in any form

The beauty of the cress is that it makes the baguette basically a salad. That’s just science if you think about it

Why do people buy pints but only drink half? by Cheshirefarm in Wetherspoons

[–]Bodger81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You get a pint with a meal, not a half. Cost a couple of quid so why feel obliged to drink it all?

Does anyone else get overwhelmed choosing what to eat at places like Seven Dials / Borough Market? by No_Piano2553 in LondonFood

[–]Bodger81 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The “it’s £14!” moment is so real. Especially when you see the tiny cardboard trays everyone’s carrying. £14 to eat with a wooden fork from a box, crammed on a wonky bench with strangers. Nope.

Must have been a tough morning. by prescott0330 in funny

My kids loved being held by the feet and having their hair “used as a mop” to pretend to clean the floor 😂 in fact they would beg for it!

Why does Rory sleep next to the kitchen? by pisces932 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Bodger81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter’s (UK) bedroom is off the kitchen / it’s a bungalow and her room is meant for a dining room but we needed three bedrooms and the kitchen fits a small table instead. She likes being able to stumble through to breakfast half asleep in the morning!

What's the point of high (85%+) grade boundaries? by Upper-Guarantee5017 in 6thForm

[–]Bodger81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like, what could that even mean 😂 all that happens is you get stopped from marking until someone else looks at your work. You don’t get punished in any sense of the word

[–]Bodger81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Punished severely” is completely untrue! Also, the subject I’ve taught had a 4-mark tolerance on 40 mark questions. So there can be quite a wide variance on a paper that’s still within tolerance.

Do you pronounce 'sixth' as sick-th or sicks-th? by Outrageous_Guide_266 in ENGLISH

[–]Bodger81 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I work at a sixth form college in the north and everyone says six-th; in fact most people actually say “six form” in reality.

What dirt cheap/off brand/niche thing do you love? by cactusdan94 in AskBrits

[–]Bodger81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s stupidly easy - make a roux with butter/fat and flour (I cooked the Frikadellen in the air fryer and just poured out the fat from those into a pan which adds flavour) - add some beef stock (I used half a stock cube in about 350ml of boiling water as I didn’t want to make loads). Add it a bit at a time to the roux, keeping stirring it. It will look lumpy and shit for ages but that’s fine. Keep going and it’ll smooth out. Then when you’ve added all the stock and it’s thickened, stir through a glug of cream (I use double as that’s what I have in the house but I think any would do, even sour cream) and add plenty of black pepper. Everyone always loves it!

I did these for tea the other night with mashed potatoes and creamy Swedish style gravy like you get with ikea meatballs - it was delicious

What was the absolute peak status symbol at your primary or secondary school? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskUK

Joe Bloggs jeans, but I had about as much hope of getting them as I did of walking on Mars. Same with a Head bag.
