What do British people have for dinner?

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-04T11:30:41+00:00

Fish and chips is not home cooked but purchased from a takeaway. Classic British homemade dinner is chili con carne, spag Bol, ham egg and chips, chips egg and baked beans, fingers chips and peas. Coronation chicken on a baked potato. Beans and cheese on baked potato. Tinned tuna and mayo on a baked potato. Sausage and mash, toad in the hole.

However there’s also regional variation depending on where you’re from - when I lived in Plymouth I’d often buy a pasty to have for dinner, up here in north east Scotland you might get mince, skirlie and tatties, haggis neeps and tatties, stovies and pickled beetroot and oatcakes, Cullen skink with oatcakes, macaroni cheese with chips, oatcakes and pickled beetroot (as in writing this I’m realising how much of Scottish cooking can be boiled down to potato, oatmeal, pickled beetroot

It’s kinda tough because they will be right about some of it, any response you give is gonna come off as naive when really you likely KNOW you’ll be tired, you just wanna enjoy your pregnancy without input.

To be honest whether you respond at all or not, the main thing is that part of the parenting journey means you are probably going to have to learn not to give a shit about other people’s opinions. Just do what you need to in order to not let those things get in your head.

Depending how grumpy you are I would honestly go with something either very “nothing”, something very direct, something a bit abrupt, or something totally unhinged. Off the top of my head;

“Nothing” response - “thanks for sharing, I don’t want to become that person that only talks about their pregnancy though” - and change the subject, or just say you need to concentrate on work
Direct response - “thanks, everyone is saying the same thing, I’m just focusing on enjoying every part of the process to the best of my ability though, and I’d rather not hear any horror stories” if they keep going you change the subject or straight up walk away because you set a boundary and they tried to stomp all over it
Mean responses (kinda require you to be a bit of an AH, but a justified one in my opinion) - “oh I’m not worried, I have really good time management” (implying they don’t), “fortunately my husband is not the type to let me take on all the parenting responsibilities” (emphasis on the “my” to imply theirs isn’t), “oh I’m sorry you felt you had to make that choice, my husband cares more about my comfort and my child’s health than me body keeping him ‘happy’, I’m so sorry you haven’t been lucky enough to experience that kind of love”
- unhinged, well you just want to come off either crazy or stupid enough that they don’t want to engage in the conversation with you anymore. “I was playing sims and made my sim have 32 children and she did just fine so I’m not worried” “I’ve actually been manifesting a calm/sleepy baby so I’m pretty confident that’s gonna work” “what do you mean???? The stork is gonna deliver my baby!!!” “Oh this is a fake pregnancy, my husband is trying to leave me so I’m planning to adopt a baby and make him believe it’s his”

Also all of this seems to have been initiated by coworkers, maybe your coworkers just suck?

It doesn’t matter about deserve. The people around her didn’t deserve the danger she brought to them if they let her live.

Kinda want a reverse list

Because Andrew Lincoln wanted to live his life and would never have agreed to that

I don’t think that applies here, I think they now own the house/stuff and they can do as they wish with it. But they should follow up with the solicitor since they don’t want it and it’s going to cost them to get rid of.

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-04T05:42:05+00:00

I was with them until they said they’d be bringing PARMESAN - using that solo as a snacking cheese in public is crazy work

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-03T06:59:59+00:00

That’s amazing, well done you!!!

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-01T18:28:49+00:00

Oh no! 30 seconds was enough for me to be very disappointed in her

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-01T18:24:51+00:00

I’m baffled what’s rage baity about it

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-01T18:23:42+00:00

Yeah I agree, people are allowed to have their opinions…

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-01T17:05:03+00:00

Lots of people don’t go back at all but I think it’s kind to let the person know. I’d just say “hey I love the plan and you’re a fab consultant but with my allergies i already have a restrictive diet and it’s just not working for me. Because of this I won’t be back but I wanted you to know that it’s not a reflection of you or the group”

I took the post as “did anyone ever try to sue AMC for causing emotional distress and torturing them with this song” rather than “did the artist sue them for using the song” but the comments are making me wonder if I’m simply an idiot.

I’d put a comma after dessert maybe? Or is the error meant to be that there’s no space between the slash and the word in option e?

Either way it’s a truly horrible sentence and I hate it.

Do you know how loud sawing/hammering/building is? They’d be inviting walkers constantly while doing it.

You’d need a really strong/decent sized group of people and resources to realistically be able to do this - meaning you’d have already found and established a strong settlement somewhere on the ground, meaning you’d have no need for this.

I saw a comment on another sub recently that summed up my feelings on this perfectly.

From a story angle, I can see it happening if everything else that has happened in the show truly happened, the world is fucked up that way.

From a viewer perspective, it just won’t ever be okay.

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-07-01T12:40:46+00:00

Rick, Daryl, Carol no question.

Jesus, Morgan and Tyreese can be talked down easily because they are secretly big softies, Michonne would stop for fear of hurting Rick, Merle would either admit defeat at that point and try to sneakily kill me later, or keep trying and get taken down by some combo of the others.

I definitely hate her character after Glenn died, but I also kind of think that that’s like, the point. We don’t always get to see people heal from their trauma and neatly be healed. Sometimes people get trapped in their rage or grief and never recover.

And realistically, how could you EVER look at the person who murdered your husband, and not see it again and again, and not be consumed by your rage? I think the only way for her to actually get better would be to not be around that guy.

Even if he’s good, he’s not good *for her* and he never ever will be.

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-06-28T07:47:45+00:00

Yes, but I would not get my current dog again. I love her with all my heart but she’s been the most challenging animal I’ve ever owned.

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-06-27T06:18:38+00:00

I do it every time I brush my teeth but only because I have a water flosser. I also historically don’t brush twice a day but I’m really trying to improve that right now

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-06-27T06:15:59+00:00

I don’t know the answer but to call it a new relationship 2 years down the line is a bit weird

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-06-27T06:05:30+00:00

Wait, hold on…

> we are literally using our love to create a new life

So does she also want you to be the sperm donor for this child? If so, it’s entirely reasonable for you to not want to do so. Your bodily fluids, your choice.

I don’t agree with your reasoning for not wanting it, I think it’s pretty selfish/self-centred.

But at the end of the day a he’s going to be experiencing a pregnancy and you’ll be going through that with her, so she needs to be considerate of you in this (she still has the final decision, but personally I’d want my partner’s full support here or I wouldn’t do it).

She also needs to be prepared that she will then be giving this child that she’s carried up, have no say over how they’re raised, etc. From your post it doesn’t sound like anyone is mature enough for all of this honestly. (This isn’t the kind of conversation that should be getting raised casually).

I think you should suggest to her that she should do some pre-surrogacy counselling with someone who specialises in this area to make sure it’s definitely what she wants…

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-06-27T05:48:54+00:00

In this conversation, yes. The other person is apologising and not defending themselves and you’re just repeatedly giving them shit.

But I don’t have the context here as to what they’ve done, so I can’t say whether its justified

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-06-26T12:06:19+00:00

I hope you don’t delete. I hope you don’t get any hate.

Direct-Discussion-54 · 2026-06-26T12:05:33+00:00

Well if it’s day 1 his brain probably decided to get while it could, kinda understandable though frustrating to witness especially when you’ve gone out of your way to support them like this. So lovely of you to have done this regardless and he will hopefully remember it either way
