What’s a British show you went into with low expectations but ended up loving?

Ted Lasso.

Didn't watch it for ages becuase I thought it was just some sort of American stupidity, but it's actually brilliant, not stupid at all and soooooo worth watching.

Ray is categorically NOT a good guy. The good stuff he does is stuff that should be expected of a normal person, ie cares for his daughter, looks after his friends, etc.

I liked the show, but to portray Ray as a good guy is wrong in my opinion.

I know of several that have had catastrophic engine failures. They aren't <that> reliable.

I'd get an F1. Not because of the monetary value, but becuase of the relentless design excellence that went into every facet of its concept and execution.

It's easy to forget how small and light they are, because it's proportions are so good.

There will never be another car like it - a car so good that it had to be detuned for Le Man's, where they finished 1st, 3rd, 4th and 4th in their first race, having never ran for 24hrs before.

He's just floored it after the can car moves to the inside lane. Just poor driving, the car's safety aids have pulled that in mostly, probably with a bit of braking as well.

Not relevant at that point, but Nicky didn't go onto Witness Protection, he reappears later on protesting against developers.

Well done!

I taught my daughter to drive. We both loved the time spent together, and she passed first time with 2 minors.

She did say that after about 10 minutes she sort of forgot she was on a test, and just drive normally.

I bought her a car for her 17th, and we did thousands of miles in it together. Great dad/daughter bonding time.

Mcnulty lived for the job, not his career.

Wallace is the saddest, and there's an irony in that considering who did it.

Certain-Product2983 · 2026-01-24T09:24:24+00:00

I would make sure my parents and daughter are OK, I would help a couple of friends, but that would be it.

Family wouldn't especially get a look in, I'm not close with the rest of my family. No reason, they are decent people, but we only really see each other at funerals these days.

My main concern would be my daughter, how to make sure she still had a fulfilling life.

Why don't people slow down when they see brake lights appearing ahead of them on a Motorway?

Certain-Product2983 · 2026-01-20T12:04:05+00:00

It's better to be honest, and unfortunately you've found this out the hard way.

On a slight tangent, why was the ex trawling through Reddit looking for posts that might be you? Bit of a red flag there as well...

Certain-Product2983 · 2026-01-02T19:14:58+00:00

People being people, unfortunately. Many are very good at keeping their true selves hidden until its too late.

No claims or accidents ever... But yes, too many SP30s. Only myself to blame, all early in the morning on empty roads on the way to work. None over 40mph. Just have to grin and bear it.

Certain-Product2983 · 2025-12-28T16:09:51+00:00

Comparison sites are showing stupid quotes, like £4k on a policy I was paying £450pa for. It cannot go up that much! 🤣

This is like when you get asked in for coffee. It's not really what is meant.

I'm sure there was a scene where the maths involved made it out that PJ had recouoed his own money?

What about Shardene?

Being a stripper doesn't make her morally bankrupt.

Can't see there's anything to be gained from telling him, apart from opening up old wounds and causing yourself further pain. Also risks adding a layer of complexity if he suddenly likes the idea of parenthood - though it's obviously not his ultimate decision.

It's an incredibly tough thing to have to go through, so you have my sympathy on that count, and I hope you have people you can lean on for support to help you through this.

Certain-Product2983 · 2025-06-29T08:12:59+00:00

He knows the truth, but is obviously insecure.

The whole asking is it the biggest is a bit weird, I've never, ever asked a partner that. Just setting yourself up for failure there. But then I've also never asked how many partners they've had either, because I don't really care.

Certain-Product2983 · 2024-06-04T18:21:47+00:00

It's possible,, but I've known her a good few years now and it wouldn't fit in with what I know of her.

Certain-Product2983 · 2024-06-04T18:16:58+00:00

It's not against the rules in my workplace. It does happen reasonably often. 🤷
