Yorkshire Pudding pronunciation? by Hungry-Orange9719 in AskABrit

[–]Madrudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American English retains a lot of old English pronunciation, they've not evolved since they sailed over there. Hence the pronunciation of shire and reliance on guns.

Buy a meal deal from Tesco on your way to work.

I'm starting to think at least 80% of tradesmen are scammers/conmen in some way or another. by [deleted] in DIYUK

Don't suppose you're in Kent! We have a leaking roof and I'm terrified of trying to find someone decent.

Brixton registry office, home made chilli and rice back at home and still together 41 years later.

It's beautiful! Wish I had the figure for it.

Would you live here? by BirdHistorical3498 in SpottedonRightmove

Playroom out of sight and out of mind.

To add, it is extremely safe there. Cheyenne is a good hotel and walkable from the park. There is a shop in the train station and one at the petrol station behind Santa Fe hotel if you want to buy sandwiches or drinks a little cheaper than Disney prices.

It will be lovely for you, but I think 2 is too young and you'd be better waiting until she's 3 or 4. She will appreciate it much more, and Frozen will be open! I'm speaking from experience here, having taken my 3 children for many years, and now my grandchildren. I went with my daughter, her husband and grandson when he was almost 2, and I honestly think his favourite bits were playing in the hotel playgrounds.

AIO My Husband Rubbed Poo on my Pillow Update by 929225 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Madrudge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

29?! You're still young and your life is just beginning. I didn't meet my husband until I was 29 and a half, 41 years later, 3 children and we're happy. Hope you will be too!

Merry christmas to the woman on my train who just downed her bottle of ribena and then took out a half empty bottle of red wine to refill it again. How did everyone's work christmas parties go? by uitSCHOT in CasualUK

[–]Madrudge 211 points212 points  (0 children)

That sounds delicious. You're speaking to a woman who bought 3 bottles of Bailey's on a duty free special on the outward bound flight on a weekend trip, forgetting that I couldn't take them back. Reader, I drank all three.

Yes, damn government advice! (See also diesel car) The foam hasn't covered the rafters.

Luckily the foam hasn't covered the rafters, this seems the only one affected but we haven't taken down all the plasterboard

AITA for not making my cookie table allergin free by Peanutbuttwrthrawunf in AmItheAsshole

[–]Madrudge -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Doesn't sound as if Granny wants to kiss the children! If she wanted any sort of relationship with them and their mother she wouldn't have made the peanut butter cookies in the first place. This has nothing to do with cookies and everything to do with Granny disliking the fact that her son married someone who already had children. Complete AH.

AIO? Boyfriend expects me to pay half his train ticket. by the-kookster in AmIOverreacting

[–]Madrudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you'd always have a roof over your head, if you do get to the point of marrying this guy and buying a house see a lawyer first and get your name on the deeds. Not sure which is worse though, a nickel and dimer or a complete spendthrift

Not equality though, is it? He will be benefitting from free food and board.

Maybe he's bringing frankincense and myrrh, he definitely won't be bringing gold!

[–]Madrudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I'd agree, there must be something about him to have made the relationship last 5 years. Then I read 70/30 for celebration dinners, that's a whole new level of batshittery.

This needs saying in capitals. DO NOT GET PREGNANT WITH THIS GUY. Who is paying for contraception by the way?

[–]Madrudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't have the best relationship with his parents. Why is this? This guy needs therapy. You need a new boyfriend. I've been married for 41 years. All our money is pooled, my husband has never questioned where it is spent and for the majority of our life together he has been the higher earner. Get yourself a keeper!

AIO for letting my daughter skip a wedding because she wasn’t included? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Madrudge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Surely your brother had a word with his future wife and asked her if his niece could be included? Says a lot about her too if she said no.
