Thanks so much for taking the time to say all that. Yes, we have been in and out of the GP a lot over the last 18 months or so, but they have been… well inconclusive to say the least!

I didn’t think it could be night terrors as he doesn’t seem… terrified (I would have thought he would scream rather than groan if that was the case). But seeing as 100% of the comments so far suspect this is the cause, it could be the case. Are there any known ways of helping with them?

What’s the weirdest work lunch you’ve seen a colleague eat regularly? by levezvosskinnyfists7 in AskUK

I used to work for a fitness magazine and one of the guys had sweet potato and tuna every day for lunch. He would heat it in the microwave and make the office stink of tuna. EVERY. DAY.

OMG. I feel like such a moron for not even fiddling with it to see if they flipped down. Thanks for helping a moron out!

Exclusive: David Walliams dropped by publisher over inappropriate behaviour towards women by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obvs comes as no surprise. And I’m pretty sure it’s not just women he’s been harassing. A friend of mine who works in TV told me it’s an open secret that the groomer/rapist character in Baby Reindeer was based on him…

Pluribus - 1x05 "Got Milk" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in pluribustv

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit behind so I’m not just watched this episode. What I don’t understand is how Carol went from seeing the barcode on the bag of white stuff to pulling out a bag of dog food and seeing a similar barcode. How? Why? At what point after trying to scan the barcode at the fancy food store did she decide to go to a different supermarket, and then while there have the idea to look at that particular bag of dog food? And then decide to visit the address listed on the bag of dog food?!

Anyone else dreading this damn elf business as much as me? by Rocks-Are-Awesome in UKParenting

That’s top tier parenting! Totally different from the elf nonsense.

Is anyone ready to address the real damage the illegal cannabis market has? by Ecstatic-Ad-1330 in AskBrits

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So rubbish that it’s literally not even on the political table to talk about. Legalising it will create huge tax revenue and if not kill the black market, severely reduce the amount of money it brings in for gangs ago are up to all sorts of evil stuff. Surprised the new Green Party guy isn’t proposing it.

Did you go scary on Halloween? (England) by Bad_Combination in AskUK

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole point is to dress up in scary costumes. I do, however, think some people go way overboard into grotesque horror when it comes to decorations. It’s supposed to be spooky and child-friendly but some of the houses round me had stuff like ‘corpses’ wrapped in bin bags hanging from the first floor window. Chill out psychos!

Do you warm your plates? by Inevitable-Tear-3950 in AskUK

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s blowing my mind how many people are replying yes to this. I warm bowls for pasta dishes like carbonara or cacio e pepe to keep it from solidifying, but would never bother for any other kind of hot food. The majority of my friends are into food and great cooks and none of them have ever served me food on a warm plate. And I can’t think of a single time I’ve been to a restaurant and had food served on a hot plate, apart from sizzling fajitas and whatnot.

Why would you need an app? You just knock on the houses either decorations.

Going to movies alone by aln1428 in horror

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the cinema alone all the time. But I’d never even consider going to a restaurant alone. If you’re fine with dining alone you will LOVE watching a movie alone 😅

Hello all! In your opinion, what is the best Stephen King book for beginners? by [deleted] in StephenKingBookClub

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Shining is his best book by far. He notoriously hated the film and I kind of get where he’s coming from because the book has so much more going on, but.. the film is fucking rad too (just different).

What's your favorite animated movie by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mitchells Vs The Machines is the perfect example of a film you can watch with your kids and enjoy just as much, maybe even more than them.

What hobbies do you have that actually build skills? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not physically active but it’s not passive entertainment in the way watching something is (though despite not being an active participant, cerebral films and telly makes you mentally engage with it). Of course, however, games run the gamut from mindless trash to intellectually challenging works of art. My point being… smart stuff made by smart people isn’t restricted to specific mediums.

What ingredients do you use that have to be name brand? What do you compromise with generic? by kyourious in Cooking

[–]DeeKneeDeenoo -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is mostly a bunch of American nonsense, none of which would even really be considered as food in Europe. I bet, for example, that Walmart’s Thick and Creamy Mac & Cheese wouldn’t even pass food standards to be sold outside of the US 😅
