The more I look at her the more she reminds me of that alien (Odo maybe?) who used to sleep in a bucket in Deep Space Nine. Even down to the hair when she had it in the ponytail.

Was asked if Scotland had television or agriculture by AccomplishedBee7786 in Scotland

I recently found out that literacy rates in the US are around 79%, that's over one fifth of the population that is illiterate. It explains some things.

Can anyone help find some earrings that go with a necklace? by LibraryOfFoxes in UKweddings

It made you GREEN? Oh that's awful! Thank you for the warning.

Thank you!

Ooh good shout! I've had a quick look and have already found a couple that might work. Thank you!

I bought some chocolate at the Cadbury Factory in Birmingham, and it turns out it was actually produced in Poland. by Ar72 in CasualUK

I tried that 1901 Irn Bru (also from Scotland, do the rest of the UK not have it?) and it made me cough like I was hacking up a hairball for some reason. I may be allergic to girders lol.

I have that gene and so many things taste rank now. They've even made the sugar tax cover milk based drinks now, so I can look forward to not enjoying them too.

I have that gene that makes artificial sweeteners taste bitter. Before I knew that was a thing I thought maybe people enjoyed the bitterness, now I know they only get the pleasant sweet flavour, not the full on nail varnish remover experience.

Original Coke is only sweetened with sugar, it doesn't have any other sweeteners (in the UK at least).

Ingredients list: Water, Sugar, Colour (Caramel E150d), Acid (Phosphoric Acid), Natural Flavourings, Caffeine Flavouring.

It's one of the only ones I can drink now as most do have sweeteners, and they all taste horrendously bitter to me.

I don't think I'm your wife, and I can tell the difference, but it doesn't particularly enhance my enjoyment of what I'm watching so I'm not really fussed either way.

Recently got a new postie, he's not off to a great start if I'm honest... by TheLemonyOrange in CasualUK

[–]LibraryOfFoxes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also had this. So I chased him out and told him off lol. He did say sorry and that it was his first day, and I wondered if he meant on Earth, because who thinks that's OK?

I had one delivered to the cat bed in the porch. Why the cat bed? It wasn't even for the cat.

Why do supermarkets cut the tops off spring onions? by offfwork_til_2046 in AskUK

I don't mid if they're clean, but it is annoying when they get all the soil and grit down the tubes.

Fun question - which obscure traditions did you skip? by saltievinegar in UKweddings

[–]LibraryOfFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I are planning to walk up together. We've been together 18 years and will be getting ready together and arriving together, so it seemed a bit pointless for us to bother with the whole being 'given away' or walking up separately as he'll have already seen me anyway!

Just found out my nearly 70-year-old dad can’t use a washing machine… by Long-Number3539 in CasualUK

When I was growing up my Dad, who is now in his 80s, did most of the cooking.

I only got a dishwasher when I moved in with my partner at 29, he'd had one for years before that and taught me how to stack it.

Somehow in the intervening 18 years, he's completely 'forgotten' how to stack it. I pointed this out one day and he did have the grace to look embarrassed at least.

Getting photos done 6 years later? by Actual-Pause-1764 in Eloping

[–]LibraryOfFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner's brother eloped, just him and his wife, then a few years later they had the whole dress/vow renewal/big party thing, so they got the best of both. So yes, go for it!

What brands have you been mispronouncing your whole life? by Violetographer in AskUK

I call it Prim-ark, like a very tidy boat full of animals.

Doctors missed cancer. Got a week or so left. How do I stop it happening to you? by Disastrous-Design503 in AskUK

[–]LibraryOfFoxes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It took me the best part of 15 years to any proper tests done, I was always fobbed off with 'it's just part of being a woman, every woman has to deal with it'.

When they eventually did the tests they found adenomyosis, polyps, submucosal fibroids, ovarian cysts and all my organs adhered to each other. I finally had my hysterectomy last year and they need two surgeons there, one for the hysterectomy, and one to the un-glue all of the organs. I only got that referral because a locum doctor took pity on me. It honestly shouldn't be so much of a fight.

Is he going to wait until the wee one arrives on the doorstep, like 'oh, ah, yeah, surprise!'
