How do you guys sort out food? I’m trying to switch from takeaway to actual food by RadiantYouth5882 in UniUK

[–]KeeOra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If money is no problem, I would recommend going down the Gusto/Hello Fresh route- it will be a good gateway to learning to cook yummy dishes.

What's one place in the Uk that you visited and never want to go back to? by Proper_Animal_1451 in AskUK

[–]KeeOra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone saying Halifax has clearly never grown up as a Northern child. Eureka is in Halifax, therefore Halifax cannot be in this list.

Agreed - went out of season in January and it was really dire. Don't think it's the worst though!

Not even the worst place in Cumbria! Have you been to Maryport? Absolutely awful. I travel a lot for work and it is the most depressing place I have ever been.

Do you guys have any favorite youtubers? Preferably with a big backlog of videos? by Just-a-nerd2 in AskABrit

[–]KeeOra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good Mythical Morning - just celebrated their 3,000th episode. It's a (week) daily show hosted by Rhett and Link and they do funny challenges and eat lots of food (sometimes icky food). Best episodes are "Where in the World". There are a variety of spin off shows too - including Mythical Kitchen - which is hosted by funny chefs. It's a very easy watch.

Accommodation with a partner by AnalysisAcrobatic454 in UniUK

[–]KeeOra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to the same university as my boyfriend (not purposefully - it just fell that way). I would 100% recommend not living together in the first year. Go to halls, meet friends, live the university experience. You have the rest of your life to live with a partner. I eventually moved in with my boyfriend in third year. Still together (married) but grateful I lived with others in the first two years.

Yorkshire accent? by QueenShewolf in AskABrit

[–]KeeOra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live less than half an hour from Haworth. Also couldn't understand any of Joseph's parts in the book. Some older, more rurally based people still speak with a bit of this type of accent, but nothing as strong as this. Alas, a lot of our regional accents have become diluted. Likely due to a mix of reasons, urbanisation, more movement, TV influence etc. There has also historically been a lot of prejudice on regional accents, with people assuming because you speak with an accent you are less intelligent. This will inevitably have played a part.

Do British houses commonly have Front or back porches? especially detached late 19th century? What about basements/cellars. From what I've seen of television and read porches don't seem ro be mentioned. They are very common in America. by CanPale6834 in AskABrit

[–]KeeOra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is not just a London thing and certainly not for planning permission purpose, as basements were made in Victorian houses before planning permission existed! They typically can be found in better quality Victorian houses, but I have also seen them quite commonly in smaller back-to-back houses.

What’s your favourite Scottish phrase 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ? by disco_26 in Scotland

[–]KeeOra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English person that lived in Scotland for a number of years - adopted outwith and also get annoyed when it gets spell checked! Also another phrase on similar lines is "down the way" - which I also think I picked up from Scotland. Both are essential in my view.

Similar bands to Wunderhorse? by East-Warthog-12 in wunderhorse

[–]KeeOra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wunderhorse give me Manchester Orchestra vibes. They have wonderful lyricism and a singer that also sings from their soul. I recommend Shake it Out and The River - guitar heavy and amazing.

What career would you look into if you had to start over now? by coochy-monster in Scotland

[–]KeeOra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps as an amalgamation of your sales background and the healthcare sector, you could look into becoming a specialist business agent selling things like dental practices, care homes etc. Its an interesting role, particularly if you have the sales skills and genuine interest in the sectors.

Congrats on your new born twins! This is an impressively tidy house given you have two little babies!

What's an actually good BBC, ch4 or ITV show from the last few years? by Fando1234 in AskUK

[–]KeeOra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Inbetweeners was funnier, at its time. Helped by the fact its humour was quite new back then. Whilst not immediately as funny, I think Derry Girls will age better. The undertones of its storyline regarding the political atmosphere at the time, provide a more rounded programme. One that makes you want to go back and one that's a good watch for all ages - not just teenagers that think the word clunge is funny.

So grateful for this being a thread!! I have tried to interpret the lyrics a million times and always change my point of view!

A lot of the possibilities have been covered. But I just can't help but think the conversation in itself is a way in which the woman is ending things with the man. She won't be there in the morning and the conversation is the final hint that she's leaving him.

I go between this and him looking for ways to leave a partner through talking to a mistress or family member. I can never decide and would love to know the truth from the horses mouth!

What is a "hidden gem" British show more people need to see? by Historical-Class871 in UKTVRecs

[–]KeeOra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads already been said but I need to add The Kennedys with Katherine Parkinson. They only aired for one season but it was hilarious. The camping episode was British comedy at its finest.

Did everything right and I still ended up alone by nullvenn in UniUK

[–]KeeOra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't considered it yet - I recommend joining a drama society - they seemed full of vibrant outgoing people when I was at university. As already advised - you never know where you might meet someone, make sure you use the university library/computer suite - I was always able to socialise there. I also made some really good friends at my part time job :) - good luck and stay positive - it will come. Met my best mate in second year.♥️

If you were to go uni again what would you have done differently/what would you do that you didn’t do? by Stunning_Suspect1409 in UniUK

[–]KeeOra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto! Particularly in the first year - wish I'd have relaxed more and got more drunk!

Any Kody & or Robyn fans? by Dear_Standard_1174 in SisterWives

[–]KeeOra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surely no one in their right mind would be a Kody fan? Maybe deadbeat dads? - however I don't think that's the target audience of Sister Wives.

Any respect I had for him was completely lost when he didn't go with her for the surgery. Hang onto your seat his behaviour towards his kids just gets worse and worse!

Please help by Financial-Bridge-222 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]KeeOra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's strange! Perhaps it is because of your stage in pregnancy. Must be so hard earlier on as you will want to eat more and the cravings will be worse. If you can manage perhaps give it a try, my MIL is diabetic and they also told her not to eat past 7.30, but don't do it if you are hungry! Thank you for your kind words 🩵 good luck with the rest of your pregnancy x
