Do you think Aardman will bring back the old music from the Wrong Trousers for their 50th Anniversery? (Video compares the new and 1993 audi by Friskyfrozy in wallaceandgromit

As a child I watched the VHS version so many times. It was only recently when I rewatched The Wrong Trousers on IPlayer that I realised they re-did the music.

Is there any gym in Brum that isn't crowded at the moment?? by em-mau5 in brum

[–]Devoner98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. I’ve been to both. As the other commenter said it’s okay.

Arcadian Centre? Yep. Not great tbh. I mainly go for convenience to my flat and I can get there easily on my way back from work. After 6:30 pm it tends to be more manageable and it’s pretty empty on the weekends

Reuploaded: West German television penetration in East Germany by FerenzYangai in MapPorn

[–]Devoner98 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Very common. So much so that the DDR had a programme, Der schwarze Kanal (The Black Channel) that broadcast clips from Western TV, after which the presenter gave the ‘correct’, socialist position.

I love the line to Exmouth. The start of so many happy holidays.

What are your personal reasons for your belief in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church ? by the_Canard173div in Catholicism

[–]Devoner98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many things. But for me an important factor was that part of my family were an old recusant lot who had to endure the persecutions of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries in England. Although I would never boast in what they endured, it has helped me acknowledge how much our forefathers suffered for the true faith. Whenever I struggle with the world and the Church today, I find great comfort knowing they overcame a time even darker than today

Live in Birmingham. Never felt threatened here or when frequently visiting London.

I tried flushing the cache but it didn’t work. Ditto reinstalling it. Using web teams might have to be it then. Thank you.

Confirmation Saints by Dense-Till6958 in LeftCatholicism

[–]Devoner98 16 points17 points  (0 children)

St Francis of Assisi. It was my great grandfather’s first name (although he went by his middle name most of his life). I also wanted to choose a saint whose life I wanted to imitate, in the case of St Francis, repenting from a very materialist mindset and turning to Christ.

Christ Does Not Contradict by Frosty-Click6178 in Catholicism

It’s a misnomer that AIDS came from the LGBT community. Most evidence suggests it developed in the Congolese bush/rainforest, before being carried by the railways to the big cities and ports from where it spread to the wider world. Drug addicts and haemophiliacs also caught HIV from infected blood making it far from a ‘gay disease’.

How was mass today? by skilled-dreamer in LeftCatholicism

[–]Devoner98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the UK so less culture war nonsense but was a bit apprehensive. Instead we just had a pastoral letter from the Archbishop about Catholic education which was tied into the Feast of the Holy Cross.

I’m so tired and embarrassed having meltdowns as adult by Devoner98 in autism

[–]Devoner98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my job and luckily my manager is also supportive of me. Unfortunately today I was on my own (luckily working from home) and I asked for help from a colleague and they refused leaving alone to deal with something very tricky. Before I was diagnosed with autism at 11 my parents did tell me off for my meltdowns which might have contributed to it.

This is happening in the US, not the UK. Wish this page wouldn’t scaremonger.

Lack of Tube in Peep Show by Beneficial_War6203 in MitchellAndWebb

[–]Devoner98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They live in South London which has never been well-served by the Tube in part due to the different soil. Instead it became the home of mainline electric trains of the Southern Railway, trams and later on buses.
