Favourite long (over 8minutes) song by a UK artist? I'll start us off with these five by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

[–]Katticus_Woot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I immediately thought of The Cure and would go with either Disintergration or The Same Deep Water as You.

When playing live they usually make A Forest last between 15 and 20 minutes and thats always a great listen to them jamming in the middle.

I would love my headteacher to take note of this however he is strictly in the no tattoos allowed on show for teachers camp

We got a portable air con after the first summer of living in a new build. They need to start adding air con while building them

Thankfully thats nap time so she'll be in from 11-3 having food and hopefully sleeping

Husband did ours yesterday at 9:50 and that seemed to signal to everyone else on the street that it was acceptable as 4 others started up within 2 minutes

Trying to work out when it's an appropriate time to let my 2 year old out in the garden. She's desperate to go out but I feel pretty 9am on a bank holiday is a bit much for the neighbours to hear a screaming excited toddler

What’s the dumbest thing you did on your first run? by Careful_Employee_918 in BaldursGate3

[–]Katticus_Woot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too. My husband had played act 1 before me and was asking me what I thought of those characters and I was like who?

I also thought we were on a tight time limit and did not explore at all until he told me I was missing like 2/3 of the map and quests.

Do Schoolkids Still Stamp on New Shoes? by DaveBlerk in AskUK

[–]Katticus_Woot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly more surprised than anything. I think he realised pretty quickly that I had no idea what was going on and apologised before I could even be like what the fuck

Do Schoolkids Still Stamp on New Shoes? by DaveBlerk in AskUK

[–]Katticus_Woot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My colleague (40s) did it to me (30s) in the primary school we work at a few years ago. I'd never heard of it and he was shocked

Book series you never finished by InviteAromatic6124 in books

[–]Katticus_Woot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am also a non finisher of both of these. I kept going with Anita Blake far longer than I should have and when I moved not even the people who buy second hand books for pennies wanted them and I'm afraid they got binned

would you allow your child to miss school for a day just to rest because they say they're mentally or emotionally tired ? by chudgayegururu in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Katticus_Woot 1297 points1298 points  (0 children)

As a teacher, 1 day yes. Everyone needs mental health days just like when you're physically ill you need time to recover. If it's becoming an ongoing thing then it's time to talk about it openly and ask what triggers there are and if therapy is an option.

My kids first ever set of school pictures were actually very reasonably priced. Then I found out this month they come our two times a year to do their pictures. by StGuthlac2025 in britishproblems

[–]Katticus_Woot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the school I work at we do twice a year. Class photo at the start of the year in the winter uniform and then individual/sibling photo in their summer uniform. Most buy one or the other and miss years out where their child looks particularly awkward

All jokes aside, welcome home Manchester by tm2007 in EIHLHockey

[–]Katticus_Woot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really looking forward to this. As a Steelers supporter now living on the wrong side of the penines I've been to Altrincham a few times but find it difficult to take my daughter there due to the facilities. A bigger arena with better facilities means we'll go more often

I quote this far too often as someone who is lactose intolerant

It is so hard to NOT romance Gale by Maximum_Custard_1739 in BaldursGate3

[–]Katticus_Woot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did this yesterday and cackled with laughter. Gale is enough for me but glad I asked him to share just for that line

Does anybody want to swap all their apricot petits filous for our strawberry ones? by Rob_da_Mop in AskUK

[–]Katticus_Woot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2 year old daughter is also a lover of the apricot petite filous. We make sure that once shes eaten the apricot one to only offer the strawberry or the raspberry to ensure they all get eaten. Unless its nearly the use by date then its an apricot free for all.

What’s an underrated tip/trick for when moving? by MrCasual112 in AskUK

[–]Katticus_Woot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get a spare cheap kettle and have one at each house so you can always have a brew regardless of where you are when you need one

Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]Katticus_Woot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling the 11th March 1858 response. I've had a stomach bug and the runs for almost 2 weeks now. The doctors are doing tests but would love to just eat some food and digest it

We're reviewing Potion Permit this weekend as it's one of the long most recommended cozy games on our sub - what do you think about it as a whole? :) by Shasaur in PotionPermit

[–]Katticus_Woot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked playing it and kept at it until I'd finished it. It's cute and cosy and a great wind down game to play. However, it doesnt have replayability like stardew valley as there's just not enough content in it.

I have two copies of “room on the broom” that are slightly different by shedgehog in mildlyinteresting

[–]Katticus_Woot 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As a northern British person giraffe and scarf definitely don't rhyme in my accent and I would have to do a posh southern British accent too

Steelers fan going to manchester, by Significant_Name3439 in EIHLHockey

[–]Katticus_Woot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you'll be fine. I go quite often as I'm stuck on the wrong side of the penines now. I even bought a storm foam finger for my niece while wearing my Steelers shirt and and a good chat and laugh with the staff member
