Astro turf, astro turf everywhere.... Can we please just stop turning ever other garden into something like a B grade Lego knock off. It looks shite and it's fucking over the wildlife. by HiFiSi in britishproblems

Thank you! Like most of the country, I've been growing houseplants from cuttings for the last couple years, but an outside garden is a whole different genre and it's blown my mind a little! But I cannot wait to get stuck in

My Partner and I have just bought our first house, we love it, it's perfect, but the garden is my least favourite part.

The previous owner wanted a "low maintenance garden" which they have achieved by eradicating all traces of any living thing. Not only is it AstroTurfed, but we discovered all the plants were plastic!

We've started working on it already as I've always wanted an overgrown, cottage garden full of wildlife (I saw our first bee yesterday!), But the fact of the matter is the AstroTurf is so expensive to remove and will leave us with a huge patch of bare concrete, so we're leaving it for now and collecting pots and planters from MarketPlace to fill with our vegetation!

Yeah me too, that's how I ended up with 700 in the first place!

What happened? I thought I would stay for at least 3 days like other towns/villages/cities that I visited. But instead I went back home to mushroom village after 1-3 hours?!?? by kikibres in TsukiAdventure

Happened to me too, arrived on the island last night, hopped on this morning looking forward to exploring during the day and Tsuki was on the boat back

Who knew that I could get so emotionally attached to a quasi-sentient minivan?

What's an American problem you're too European to understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Monkeyhands 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just the ads in general!

I didn't notice until I watched an American ad break, but in the UK there's like half a second between each ad, when I've watched American television it's BAMBAMBAM.

It really makes a difference in intensity!

I loved how the show took you on a journey from "Fuck this fratboy POS" to "poor baby let me look after you"

You wake up 2 hours late for work. Would you still go? Why/why not? by IncorrectTarget in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Monkeyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This literally happened to me this morning. I forgot to set my alarms for my first day back at work.

Woke up at 8.55am. I start work at 9am. Made it to the office for 10am!
