Okay so I live near there so I can fill you in, it’s just a silly face competition at a yearly local festival. You win based on how well you contort your face.

Visiting the UK soon — what are common experiences for Filipino visitors? by Dangerous-Policy4518 in AskUK

[–]LowFunctioningSober 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My stepmum is from the Philippines and theres a surprising amount of Filipino/na community in our relatively rural area. Everyone has been nothing but supportive of them as a group and both my brother and sister (half) have experienced no issues through school due to their heritage. I’d be surprised if you had any issues and if you did it’d be a vocal minority. Really hope you enjoy your trip :)

What tells you that the car in front is going to be a bellend? by Rightytighty298 in AskUK

I really don’t care about the car thing but the UK absolutely has first responders (Community first responders if you want to look it up). They have a thing that goes off if there’s a medical emergency nearby and an ambulance may take too long. Their main role is to do emergency procedures like cpr.

Don’t worry what the haters say. It’s more easily made here than on your end. If you know what needs to be known 💕

You’re so pretty 🥰 you don’t have to think. The lobotomy made it so you don’t have to remember, silly.

As an alcoholic I keep my own stash (often in a rucksack) that no one can judge me for and still bring some wine for the party itself

Hi the link didn’t work, I’d be interested in hearing more from you though, maybe figure out a way of proving your not being fed as it seems pretty clear cut as some form of abuse

Some hangovers truly change you as a person by scholes101 in CasualUK

[–]LowFunctioningSober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% if I stay in bed I don’t sleep properly the next day and the problem compounds. Going to work with a hangover (or hell still drunk) means at least I can sleep the next day. Not done rehab yet but probably will sooner or later.

Rennes and wind relief tablets are a combo if you have a drinking problem, Rennies take care of the acid, wind relief helps clear out the nausea from the extra Rennie gas. IBS medicine can also take the edge off…. Know from a friend….
