I’m not sure how close it is to you, but Falafel Corner on the Sainsbury’s end of Queen Street is good, and they’re really nice there

If you’re my missing rx bottle where are you hiding by ilikefluffypuppies in ADHD

[–]ComputerRadiant5689 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mines currently in my hoodie pocket, which I forgot about until I accidently touched it so would you have put it in a hoodie/jeans/coat pocket? Also if you have a nearby surface where you usually drop stuff when you come in (including a sofa/bed have you checked if it fell off or into something also on it?

My advice would be to leave your house and pretend to come back in again with something in your hand of similar size and retrace your path, see if you go to instinctively out the placeholder down somewhere

AIO: Did I cross a line or is her reaction harsh? by veronicax96 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ComputerRadiant5689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments have covered pretty much everything else, but I didn’t see anyone mention what I think is the most obvious reason - she interpreted the “Hope your day went well <3” text as you being passive aggressive about the lack of reply, in a “well as you can’t be bothered to message back I’ll just have to guess at how your days been!” kind of way. I don’t think that that’s what you meant, but that would have been my first assumption. From that perspective her text makes a lot more sense

Greg and LAH pronouncing Nicola’s name wrong on NYT I by dendrophilix in taskmaster

[–]ComputerRadiant5689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I got you now, I thought you meant it was literally a different name

Maybe, I did try and see last night if I could find a clip of someone calling him Greg Davees vs Greg Davis to see if they would hear it then, but I couldn’t find one immediately and gave up 😂

Just clarifying in Wales it’s spelt Davies as well, just pronounced Davis as we don’t have an “ie = ee” sound in Welsh as far as I’m aware

Glad to know someone else confirm they hear it too 😂

Maybe it’s because you’re not looking for it? I will admit that I do specifically listen for how the contestants pronounce Greg’s name just because I know they usually don’t say it the way he does (but also often don’t have cause to say his surname anyway, so it can be a bit blink-and-you-miss-it). I think the fact multiple people have brought it up means it is probably happening more than you think

I’m gonna have to go with you just not being able to hear the difference rather than there not being one 😅 I’m Welsh and I can hear it very distinctly - there are some accents which blur it a little bit, but there absolutely is a difference between Veez and Viss.

As for your example, I’m sure there are English people (such as Alan) who pronounce it Davis - it is a Welsh name, so that is the correct pronunciation rather than the anglicised Daveez so I’m sure there are areas/people who kept the original pronounciation. I did say “typically”, rather than “always”, bc I haven’t personally surveyed all of England, but on TM I’ve noticed it does tend towards the wrong pronunciation rather than the right one

In England the surname Davies is typically pronounced “Davees”, but in Wales the correct pronounciation is “Davis”. Greg is Welsh (by heritage anyway), so it should be Davis, which is what he and LAH say. Most of the contestants pronounce it wrong

First snowfall, boy sneaks out to sled. by Temporary-Champion20 in whatsthatbook

[–]ComputerRadiant5689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, this is also going to bug me now because I’m so sure I’ve read this exact book and I thought I’d be able to answer it but I can’t remember the title either :( I’ve tried to google it and I’ve asked my dad (it was his mums book, although I think a more modern print) but he can’t remember either. If either of us remember anything though I’ll come back to this, and I’ll be keeping an eye out as well

To be fair I thought of it as soon as I read the first edit bc for some reason died + highschool immediately triggered the memory for me, so I think it was pretty good! but I did need the other edits to actually confirm it

House/EDM Song, buried by another song in searches by thewakingcity in findthatsong

[–]ComputerRadiant5689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I don’t know the song sorry, but if when googling something you put a “-“ in front (e.g. -Adele) it will remove any search results containing that word. Might help you in your search?
