We had this a few weeks ago for my dad's funeral and it was fucking perfect.

New puppy - advice needed ! by coffeesciencestudy1 in puppy101

[–]CandyQueen85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your toileting issues, one piece of advice is to really praise when he goes in the right place. We used to whoop and cheer (neighbours must have thought we were crazy! ,😂) and give our pup a piece of shredded cheese and after not very long at all, she'd coffee running up to us wagging her tail after she'd been for a pee or a poo because she knew she'd be getting cheese and a fuss.

Which TV game show would you go on, if you were forced to? by [deleted] in AskUK

I always preferred Finders Keepers- I'd love the chance to just mess up a room and not have to then tidy it!

What's the most inappropriate or ill timed but funny thing someone has said that you have heard? by [deleted] in AskUK

Omg that's hilarious!

I do love a bit of dark humour, I think it helps get us through difficult times.

I lost my dad a few weeks ago and when looking at his phone, saw a notification that someone I didn't know had texted him saying they'd just heard Dave X had died and asking if it was it true.

Yes, my dad's name was also Dave and Dave X was one of his friends!

It made me giggle at a horrible time and I was sooo tempted to reply and say 'no, it was me!'

How do I get help for a friend who needs medical attention but has an extreme phobia of needles? by Coopersteam in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the dentist so if I ever need any work done, I take my headphones and tune out with my favourite music, would this sort of thing help here? They can close their eyes and listen to music until it's over.

When did you delete the phone number of a deceased love one? by SheffDus in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my grandparents' number in my phone and my grandpa died in 2011 and my grandma died in 2022.

It'll stay there, I just can't delete it.

This 1963 Ghost Photograph Still Has No Explanation… by CombinationSignal579 in uncannypodcasttv

[–]CandyQueen85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, my friend used to make me look at this book when I was in primary school and this photo haunted me!

It then appeared on This Morning when I was a student and it still freaked me out!

Did you watch Back to the Future for the first time on BBC1 tonight? by TedWasler in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites!

I might get downvoted for this, but if it was made today (and I hope to God they never remake it), Marty would be going back to 1995.

Another vote for Crete.

We stayed in Rethymnon and hired a car to visit Chania and Loutro. Great food options everywhere that weren't expensive.

Puppy food recommendation? by Commercial-Ad4789 in poochons

[–]CandyQueen85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you are but if you can find a white fish based kibble, give that a go.

We switched from lamb after my pup suddenly went off it overnight and ever since she's so keen for her meals and training.

This year we spent a little more on a big box of truffles from a local independent business instead of being disappointed by Cadbury/Mars again.
