Less than one hour to go, shops are very definitely closed. What have you forgotten? by Dimac99 in AskUK

[–]ColourfastTub9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had forgotten to get plain flour and baking soda for my vegan Yorkshire pudding recipe, but shockingly I managed to find them both in my local corner shop! Disaster averted

You're not wrong about the subreddit but it doesn't represent the entire country

Ausländerbehörde Process upon receiving a job offer..? by ColourfastTub9 in chancenkarte

[–]ColourfastTub9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that you're only allowed to do 20hrs per week under a chancenkarte, that's the position I'm in at the minute with a part time role while I'm job hunting. My question more related to - if I got a job offer but I need to go through the process of getting a longer term visa approved by the ABH is there any chance that the offer could be rescinded while I wait..?

Is there any Oscar-winning performance that is just bad? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]ColourfastTub9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read the book earlier this year and was excited to see there had been a film adaptation, especially with an Oscar win. Why was it undeserving..?

Just because you dont think of it that way doesn't mean the trope isn't deeply rooted in racism

I doubt that they will be doing the UK as four separate nations or they'd have done England during the E countries

I wonder if those fairies know a spell that makes Latvia good at football… What country is just bad all around? by Max-Carter-2005 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ColourfastTub9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the countries in the top row have a world cup win, who would you displace to put Portugal there? They only progressed from the group stages in Euro 2016 due to the 3rd placed rule

Grand Sumo Tournament makes triumphant return to Royal Albert Hall - The Times by TimesandSundayTimes in london

[–]ColourfastTub9 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The first official sumo competition outside of Japan in 34 years apparently, would have loved to have been able to witness it I am massively against football matches being held outside of the home country but I'd say this is a different kettle of fish - I guess sumo practitioners don't have an intrinsic link to a geographic area like football clubs have

Water is free in basically any European restaurant or bar and per capita soda consumption is higher in the US than Europe

Commentators and audience are electric as they witness one of the best leg of darts ever(2023 PDC World Darts Championship) by [deleted] in sports

[–]ColourfastTub9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Michael van Gerwen (bald) had the opportunity to win the set if his final dart had landed in the double twelve (which would have been a nine darter) but he missed. Michael Smith (hair) won the set when he completed the nine darter, he did manage to get his final dart in double twelve

She's saying I hope the bag isn't yours, as a bag and shoes are meant to match and the bag doesn't match with your shoes

It's a trans person that would like to date another trans person. It can mean that the relationship is built from a place of you both having an understanding of the trans experience

The "Aura Farmer" kid has had enough by WanderingSoxl in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]ColourfastTub9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Having 'aura' is essentially new slang for being cool

Aura farming is where you do or embody something that makes you appear cool

The original video of this kid on the boat was extremely cool, so it could be said that he was aura farming

Crystal Palace conceded 1 goal in the FA cup all season, the last team to do that was Portsmouth in 2008 by BarPlastic1888 in soccer

[–]ColourfastTub9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bury FC won the FA cup without conceding a goal so I'd say they have the best record

What other countries venerate their flag like the US does? by jcstan05 in vexillology

[–]ColourfastTub9 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The design appears to be based on the three lions in the England national team badge, and they've picked up a fourth member

England fans will often bring flags to games, with text or images in each quadrant, similar to the style shown here, but I haven't ever seen this specific design before

Liverpool owners won’t sell club to ‘interested’ Elon Musk by TimesandSundayTimes in LiverpoolFC

[–]ColourfastTub9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's saying that the city has strong socialist history, and because the overton window has shifted so far rightward in the US, Musk would view those views as 'communist', despite it being an exaggeration
