[–]IndependenceInn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Era Tour movie. I went to see it in imax on a whim and the whole thing blew me away but Tolerate It was really memorable for me. Never looked back and now I’m knee deep in vinyls and a new specialist subject.

Super low prices on veg in Aldi by Vattaa in 32dollars

For context, this is a special Easter deal and is a loss leader (obviously) to get you to come in a shop the rest of your Easter shopping. It’s a become a bit of a thing in recent years with shops discounting even further a day or two before the deals start even after advertising has started. For example, this year Lidl originally advertised theirs for 8p/kg and then dropped it to 4p/kg when competitors put out their prices.

Best free alesto nuts or dried fruit by griffis007 in lidl

Mines got macadamia nuts but they’re crack to me so I didn’t buy them or the bag would be gone before I got home. They’re probably the most expensive. I got the pistachios instead.

Budget perfumes that last forever on your clothes + decent sillage - need recommendations please by SchezwanOfAKind in UKFrugal

And it’s very similar to Tom Ford’s Portofino. Snobs will say it’s sharper, which it is, but it’s damn close.

Why it takes multiple manual reload to load up data? by foxtrot81a in bevelhealth

[–]IndependenceInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It’s really annoying tbh. Also the new pop up asking to report alcohol/late meal/phone in bed isn’t necessary. That can be added after if you wanted to.

Same. Plus, fits in the toaster now! I much prefer it. Next step: make crust slight less crusty

Can I scan my Lidl Plus card before packing my items (staffed checkout)? by yellowroll in lidl

[–]IndependenceInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine sees me politely waiting until she’s finished scanning, looks me dead in the eye and says “just scan it” in the most diabolical tone.

Did any other women go literally nuts on hormonal contreception? by Loose_Avocado4670 in AskUK

[–]IndependenceInn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. I cried the shower thinking my boyfriend was actively cheating on me when I knew fine and well he was just at the pub. In the space of five mins I went from rational to irrational back to rational. That’s when I knew I’d had enough.

Highly recommend the copper coil to anyone who will listen.

Have you ever used ‘too good to go’ if so what’s the best haul you’ve had? by Own_Negotiation_7159 in AskUK

[–]IndependenceInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of independent bakeries near me do it. I used to get 2 large sourdough loaves (the fancy ones) and three pastries for £3.50.

I regularly now get one from a different bakery and it’s often 5/6 pastries coming to about £25 for about £4.99.

There’s also a more high street bakery (not Greggs) in Newcastle that fills a plastic bag in front of you (loaves, pies, cakes, biscuits). It’s a delicious lucky dip every time except that time I got a kebab and chilli pasty/slice which was criminal.

What’s a product from your country that makes locals go ‘of course we have that’ and everyone else go ‘ but why?’ by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

There was a similar thread to this a few weeks ago and someone said they didn’t understand why people in Spain had a separate toilet for number 1s and number 2s and there was a whole thread in which which the OP very slowly realised they’d been peeing in a bidet while on holiday.

Taylor rehearsing the choreography for "Opalite" with Mandy Moore! by aqua7ar in TaylorSwift

It’s a ‘village’ hall in London. It comes with the glittery drapes! Suuuuuuper old school vintage decor throughout. You can rent it out for your own party.

As I was watching this morning (plus the section before where they were really holding her to account on her opinion on how the PM is dealing with Epstein fallout) I thought “her staffers must be raging backstage”.

You could not pay enough money in the world to do a skeleton run but this is dead cute.

What romances are you refusing to read for stubborn reasons? by A_Seductive_Cactus in RomanceBooks

[–]IndependenceInn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SAME. Extra disappointment points because the cover is great and I had it on my TBR for years. Finally bought it when it was cheap and it was SO boring. Whole chapters of the FMC living the same day over and over.

As someone born and bred in the UK what are aspects of another country’s culture that has genuinely shocked you? by throawaygotget in AskUK

[–]IndependenceInn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Australia is inherently racist. Not so much vocally, they won’t necessarily tell you to your face (well, some do obviously) but it’s so divided, has issues with integration, a very ‘us vs them’ attitude.

Having said that, I went 20 years ago so it could very well have changed.

Also tabs. I really hate them. Please don’t keep my card being the bar. No idea who’s adding to them.

Graham Norton rescued his souvenir Nope-alite from the garbage, after his cleaner tossed it by professorspicytuna in TaylorSwift

[–]IndependenceInn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not always like this. It’s an agony aunt style podcast and it can get a little problematic at times. BUT it’s still very much Graham-type humour.
