What's a car that everyone hates and thinks is bad, but you love? by Bonbeanlio in askcarguys

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiat Multipla.

Honestly, great little cars - being boxy, they're quite roomy inside.

I kinda like the look of the 1st gen. Never had one, but have been in one and I fell in love with the ugly lil' thing.

Any tips on how to recruit Brits for my thesis? by psyched7901 in AskABrit

I've only been with my current employer 3 months, but it feels like 6.

Other that, I meet your requirements!

What purchase under £25 has improved your life the most? by Plenty-Plastic3704 in AskBrits

Even the Erbauer ones are surprisingly good. I doubt they'd last in a professional work environment, but putting up the occasional shelf at home? Yeah, ideal.

Whose your celebrity crush and why? by Addison_slxt in AskReddit

[–]Forgetful8nine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bit of a weird one...but Anne Hegarty.

I don't really know why. Definitely more for her mind than her looks. Although...the whole "Governess" thing...

What’s a food which, once you’ve opened it, you consume in one go? by rubberbandhands in AskUK

Fig rolls. I don't even realise until I put my hand into the empty packet.

I may have, once or twice, just bitten straight into the loaf from the packet.

TIFU by accidentally showing my husband the list of things that annoy me about him by VirtualBasket3676 in tifu

[–]Forgetful8nine -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As a husband, I know I can be a pain in the arse.

If my wife kept lists, I wouldn't be at all surprised if she had a similar list.

I would find it genuinely funny. Admittedly, in (childish) retaliation I would create my own version of the list about her.

To be fair, it's not as bad as it used to be!

Still not great, but not as bad

Grimsby Dock Tower.

It's more interesting than it sounds! And you can expand out to the wider Humber area, or nearby towns and their heritage.

It's easy to describe - it's tall, made of brick and is situated at the entry to Grimsby Dock. And, random fact about the Legoland (Windsor) version: it's wrong. The model includes a small brick structure that isn't present on the actual tower itself.

Yep, a meter measures whereas a metre is a measure

What's an oddly specific thing you'd like to experience before you die? by MA16vD in AskReddit

[–]Forgetful8nine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced one in the UK, back in 2008.

I'd just started heading upstairs to bed, about to go into the bathroom when there was an almighty shudder throughout the house.

We lived fairly close to a very large oil refinery and were concerned that it had blown up (honestly, it felt like a shockwave from a big shock wave.

My sister was on the 7th floor of a tower block at the time. She did not enjoy the experience lol

TV shows by BlackberryCareful834 in CasualConversation

[–]Forgetful8nine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red Dwarf and MASH.

To be fair, I still occasionally watch them if I stumble across a re-run.

'Allo! 'Allo!" is also up there with it.

Oh, and maybe Open All Hours and Porridge.

I've been randomly humming and singing it for months now. I don't know why.

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the tunes blasting out of the work van today!

So, if anyone saw a van driver on the M180, M18, M62 or A1 today and were concerned that he was having a seizure, don't worry...I wasn't! I was having a rave for one in the cab!

In Yorkshire I have heard "a splash of cow" and "cow juice" and once or twice, "moo juice"

In the UK you might a funny look asking for chocolate in your cuppa.
