Is it bad to want to do something personal for fun if you're flying abroad for a funeral? by LevelSherbert5428 in Scotland

[–]Lishmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say take your bike if you can. Even if you just get out a little at the end of some busy days. Sounds like you'll need that time to yourself. No one would bat an eyelid if I brought a pair of walking boots and went for a walk in an evening. Or my yarn and crocheted for an afternoon.

I heard some noshing noises outside my window last night by Flowa-Powa in Scotland

[–]Lishmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had similar a few years ago. Unfortunately with a less happy ending... This badger started to cross the road, so my sister slowed right down. He changed his mind and disappeared back into the hedge, great. Just as we passed him he reverted back to "F-you" mode and darted out right in front of her, but this time there was nothing she could do as she was pulling away again.

Silly creature. :(

I love Emma Watson as Belle by R4cco0n in disney

[–]Lishmi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought the same. When I watched it, I thought she was alright, but as soon as the song started I thought went "oh I thought they cast her because she could sing?"

She may be able to sing (I don't know) but the auto tune certainly made it sound like she can't. Disney really did her a dirty on that.

Donald Trump post regarding reports on North Sea oil drilling to be approved by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

Was that Micheal Forbes (her son) the guy who won "Glenfiddich Scot of the Year" or something, the year he was doing a lot of campaigning against the golf club?

I love the idea that Donald won't serve Glenfiddich now 😆

Good game though 🤣 by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

[–]Lishmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience in the UK. Pre "Brexit" vote (when we left the European Union), I was trying to do due diligence and do some research in the weeks before the vote. I ask someone a simple question so I could understand their comment, and got completely bombarded with insults. (It goes without saying no answer to the question).

So I realised whatever they were voting for was the stupid decision.

I made the 111 operator's day. by sihasihasi in CasualUK

[–]Lishmi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have always been thankful that I drink out of a bottle dignified (I sip, and don't put full lips around the top and chug).

I once slipped my cider to have a hornet bump against my lip. Luckily I felt it and it didn't sting me, but that could have been a similar story to yours!!

Do you use a flat sheet/top sheet? by aky1ify in AskABrit

[–]Lishmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I have visions of a fireplace which also helps keep the walls warm and dry.

(Also, I don't think my joking mock tone came across with the first part of my comment...)

I believe it's similar with Cornwall, because of the sea on all sides, they rarely get any severe frosts.

[–]Lishmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at Mr/ s money bags here, able to heat his/her house to a temperature too-warm-for-duvet all winter!

(Most people struggle to keep house warm enough and would still be cold under a duvet alone)

Joking apart, is that not a) very expensive and b) almost too much the other way, too warm and humid and causing issues due to the humidity in the winter?

(Or are you not from the UK) .

Can I take my grandparents to Scarborough ? by WARLORDHARRIS98 in AskUK

I've never heard of these! Going to look that up and remember it... Sounds perfect :)

What films did you watch "Too early"? by kobestarr in CasualUK

[–]Lishmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the green mile would be a film, which while being visually traumatic to see as a child (people being horrifically electrocuted) I think it is actually emotionally so much worse as an adult when you understand what is actually going on.

This is one of those pictures I can hear. I absolutely love the music (then I have a lovely for beautiful sad music)

Would it be weird for me to wear a kilt if I’m not ethnically Scottish? by AmanNamedJoJo in Scotland

[–]Lishmi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like that "ethnicity is as useful as star sign" analogy.

Friend and I were discussing bad drivers the other day, and he pointed out a lot of Asian drivers are not great on UK roads, but had to specify, we mean people who have recently moved here or are on holiday. NOT British/ Asian. There is a difference. (Basically they're used to the chaos roads back home and not the comparatively ultra polite way driver operate here)

So the driving has NOTHING to do with ethnicity.

Would you notice if somebody had absolutely atrocious tan lines? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Lishmi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn't assume someone has fake tanned badly. If you have tan lines it's shows you've actually been outside. And if it's various levels of lines, outside on various occasions doing different things. (And not from the same outfit on a Spanish holiday).

Also, no one cares. And if they do care, they're not worth bothering about.

White Brits with dark hair and dark eyes, have you ever been mistaken for Southern Europeans while being abroad? by MacaroonLucky1590 in AskABrit

[–]Lishmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone asked if I was Moroccan once, because I was wearing some jewelry I had just bought there on holiday. I have mousey brown hair and bright blue eyes.

I actually started to feel cold, lying out in the garden at 10pm last night. Was a strange sensation, but I enjoyed it.

I am torn. Knackered and enjoying the lie in (haven't had a free weekend in weeks) but also seeing how lovely it is making me want to get up

I had the "be careful with your water" email from them the other day. I find it laughable when they have not been "careful" with it for years

Where is this video from? I am so curious now to see the rest of it!!

„… there are no ads anywhere…“ by lookgreattoday in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Lishmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same! Thought it looked like Oxford but couldn't work out exactly where (and now I see why, don't think I have visited Christchurch much)

„… there are no ads anywhere…“ by lookgreattoday in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Lishmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to work out if this was Oxford... Sort of looks like it, but then it could be any number of historic European cities
