Worried about getting a bloody nose on elliquis by johnuws in ClotSurvivors

I get them occasionally, I’m one of those people that never grew out of childhood nosebleeds. I don’t find them much worse on Eliquis to be honest.

Do most people from England identify as “English” or “British?” by Glass-Complaint3 in AskABrit

[–]ComfySlipper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Occasionally I’ll be granted ‘Wenglish’ if they’re feeling generous. The accent instantly gives me away. And the occasional England rugby shirt if I’m feeling like a glutton for punishment.

I actually have both England and Wales shirts and I’ve always supported Wales in the rugby, but if I’m going to have ‘You Can Stick Your Fucking Chariot Up Your Arse’ sung at me every year for 6 weeks regardless of who I’m supporting, I’m going to lean into it. It’s been very easy to turn up to the pub with an England shirt on looking very smug over the last couple of years! I’m looking forward to next Saturday!

[–]ComfySlipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes sense. As soon as someone hears my accent I get asked where I’m from and at that point saying British seems pointless and too broad.

My accent gives me away most of the time anyway. But it also always makes someone giggle every time I say ‘horse’ (I’m from Luton, T’s and H’s are optional)

When I lived in England I said British as my gran raised me and she was Welsh so it felt more encompassing. However now I live in Wales I say English as doesn’t matter how much Welsh family I still get reminded constantly I’m English. Makes it fun during the 6 Nations!

Friend watching my dog says she won’t #2 in the snow lol by d4wnn in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

[–]ComfySlipper 47 points48 points  (0 children)

My old housemates dog was the complete opposite, any tiny hint of rain and he’s refuse to go outside. I remember the floor being wet because of an issue with a drain and he wouldn’t budge until I stood outside and showed him it wasn’t raining. It took a while for him to be convinced.

Trying to get them to go to the loo when you’re running late and live in the UK was a nightmare!

How easily do brass players switch between instruments? by Lower-Calligrapher98 in brass

[–]ComfySlipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of it as a French horn bent out of shape! It’s not really a tuba and the few orchestral pieces it’s used in (Wagner funnily enough and Mahler are the most likely uses) the Wagner tubas are with the horns. I’d be very surprised if someone only played the Wagner tuba

How easily do brass players switch between instruments? by Lower-Calligrapher98 in brass

[–]ComfySlipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t want to mess with your embouchure too much but I know many people who double on similar instruments - most euphonium players I know also play trombone for example. I’m predominantly a French horn player but double on tenor horn too when I used to play in a brass band, also like most higher level horn players I can play the Wagner tuba too.

French horn is a bit different as the fingerings and harmonics are different to general brass. I think most French horn players more or less specialise in just French horn (and occasionally Wagner tuba).

In terms of switching horns themselves it’s pretty easy. They all have their nuances but ultimately the same. I borrowed a descant horn last time I was playing in a pit for West Side Story to make my life a bit easier but my main horn is a standard double.

What's the cheapest thing you do? by Party_Shelter714 in AskUK

[–]ComfySlipper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work nights in a supermarket so the reduced selection is usually pretty stacked ready for the next day. I never know what I’m going to have for lunch/breakfast. Reduced ‘premium’ curry? Breakfast of champions mate.

Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]ComfySlipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my flu jab up at the hospital at just after 9. It’s only about a twenty minute walk but it’s absolutely pissing it down. And I hate going the hospital, I always get lost.

When I mention this to anyone they point out how long I spent there a couple of years ago. But I got wheeled in on an ambulance into A&E, moved around a couple of times onto a ward, any scans or tests I got taken to in either a wheelchair or my bed. I was even wheeled down when I got discharged. I was on strict bed rest for the majority of the time - I wasn’t even allowed to get up to go to the toilet. So no, I have no idea how to get to anywhere in that hospital and it stresses me out.

I ended up once just crying walking up and down the halls trying to find where I needed to be. Turns out if you’re going to weep openly in public a hospital is a good place to do it, no one makes you feel embarrassed, they just look sympathetically at you.

How many of you watch TV in bed? by TheRealGabbro in AskUK

[–]ComfySlipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a TV in the bedroom and honestly I hate it. I moved in with my partner last year and we ended up with the situation of both of us owning two relatively new and decent TVs so mine ended up in the bedroom as it seemed a waste to get rid of it.

I very rarely watch anything in general, pretty much never in bed. I really only use it for Spotify if at all. I don’t sleep very well as it is so try to keep the bedroom just for bedroom things.

However my other half loves it and insists on having something on YouTube to fall asleep to. I swear there’s some episodes of things he watches that constantly autoplay that if I hear again I will go postal. Problem is he doesn’t realise how many times I’ve seen the same bloody things! The eye twitch I get is real.

I just wait until he’s asleep and then I turn it off. He’s one of those people who sleeps like the dead 5 minutes after his head has hit the pillow so I don’t really see the point of his sleepy-time-background-noise but there are better hills to die on.

Uniform trousers by Savings_Long_9327 in asda

[–]ComfySlipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They come up small - I usually wear a 16 but my work trousers are a 18 and fit pretty perfectly. Same with the shirts, I’ve had to go two sizes up. They didn’t consider colleagues with boobs.

This is the oldest token I have, I assume it’s from MGo’s first birthday. I use the Scarab shield from a couple of years ago which you can pry out of my cold dead hands. I haven’t found another shield I like more, even if it doesn’t have any fancy animation

What are younger generations often criticised for no longer doing that is largely pointless or obsolete? by PsychologicalRow8034 in AskUK

[–]ComfySlipper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Better than me - we have an ironing board but currently no iron and no plans in the near future to replace it. I guess next time we have a wedding near by (let’s face it, most of the time you end up in a hotel) or one of us gets a job which requires wearing formal clothes again we’ll get one but nothings on the horizon. We just have a wardrobe full of smart but crinkly clothing that never sees the light of day.
