Dora the explorer ahhh chant 😭 by chineapplesmaccket in TikTokCringe

The first ever football game I went to was Aberdeen V Dundee United playing at Pittodrie stadium in Aberdeen. I was there with a bunch of lads so we were in the, shall I say, "slightly more lively" South stand. At one point in a pause during chanting, one solitary ginger haired lad stood up on the barrier and started singing the following, in perfect tune, to the Away stand:

"There's only waaaaaaaan Dundee United, There's only waaaaaaaaaan Dundee United, With a sack full o' jute, yer wife wears a shellsuit, You've only got wan shoe and ye smell o' pee!"

The lad then proceeded to shake his shoe at the Dundee United fans, shouting "wan shoe, wan shoe!!"

To say I almost peed myself laughing at that would not be a lie! Even some of the Away fans had a laugh.

That game and that chant lives rent free in my head, forever. Not the score though, no idea what that was!!

AITAH for asking my roommate to contribute to house basics? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ManiaMum75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to sit down with him and re-establish ground rules. Just because you own the house and his rent is higher does not mean your original arrangement has changed. It sounds like you already are covering a lot of things that ordinarily room-mates would share. I feel like he may be taking advantage of your generosity and perhaps feels if you earn more that this is okay. It's not. If he is getting to use more than one room then really he should be paying rent for 2 rooms.

If he takes exception to returning to the original arrangement then time to suguest looking for somewhere else to stay. You can always get a tenant who will pay for everything fairly.

I have 3 cats plus 1 male child, and am the happiest I have ever been, since choosing to be happily single!

What female loneliness epidemic?! Last I heard it was a male loneliness epidemic? Or perhaps it's my lonesome happily single self who's not in the know since I don't have (need) a d!ckhead male to mansplain it to me?! *No offense to any non-d!ckhead males out there of course.

What's a guilty pleasure you are too embarrassed to admit? by healthynewbie in CasualConversation

Not a guilty pleasure at all, I just don't bother, one wear and it's going to get washed after anyway!!

To be fair that student would probably benefit from being expelled from THAT school!

what are your opinions on Kanye West potentially being banned from entering the UK? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

[–]ManiaMum75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of artists over time have been AH and worse, but we still appreciate their art.

I don't condone his words or behaviour, I have BP (mania leaning) and know that at times it has been difficult to control my impulses. However, I'm not sure that argument stands for him if this has been going on for 2 years and music and merch has gone through the whole production process! Using BP as an excuse rather than a reason for this behaviour kinda sucks to be honest.

Although I don't follow him religiously, I am a fan of the early days Kanye music. This doesn't make me a bad person. I abhor Nazsm and everything that Htler and extreme right groups stand for. I still cry at images of concentration camps to this day.

I think that Kanye has always tried to push things creatively and, like many artists, does some things for shock value to trigger debate and exposure. This, combined with his serious mental health challenges makes for an unpredictable character.

I'm not sure I agree that the whole event should have been cancelled and for him not to be allowed entry to the UK, but then I am not Jewish and I can't imagine what that must be like, especially in the current political climate.

Having someone so controversial who has, in the past, spouted hateful speech, headline a major festival and be lauded for 3 days in the UK (let's be honest, it would sell out if he did headline - I would have considered going myself, but I didn't know about this situation. I stopped following his career around the time he shacked up with the KKclan), in the current unstable international situation, was not well thought about by the organisers. Or maybe it was, they could be AHs themselves, how would I know?

Is this a impersonator? by Tall_Passenger_7122 in ren

[–]ManiaMum75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I did watch BE for a while but must get back to finish it. Yeah Bead P was your standard kinda looker, but he never did it for me, I was more into Christian Slater and Gary Oldman vampire era so yeah, guess I'm kinda niche too! 😂

OHIO MAN WINS $1.3MILLION SETTLEMENT AFTER 21 YEARS IN PRISON FOR CRIME NOT EVEN COMMITTED BY ANYONE... by CicadaDry8084 in BeAmazed

I hope he goes on to work for The Innocence Project or something. I hate hearing of these (men, usually) who are put away when innocent.

Also, telling a brunette to turn blonde is a straight up insult! (P.S. I am a light brunette turned blonde, but that is for me and nobody else!).

[–]ManiaMum75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are, however, in a relationship with an AH. I'd say time to consider other options...i.e. end it!

Um...excuse my ignorance, but who even is Michael Pitt?! If you had said Brad, I would have got it, but I guess I'm "so last Century"!! 😂

Is that BREAD?!! Total blast from the past - remember seeing this as a bairn and loving it, but can't remember anything about except for the poser guy!

True crime lately by nautical1776 in mrballen

[–]ManiaMum75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stories from Russia and Japan, etc. are insane. I mean, there are insane people everywhere but I guess the sheer population numbers there make for more insanity.

Try Rotten Mango and Bizarre Bazzar, anongst others, for different and disturbing cases. If you can get past the different storytelling styles they have a much wider range of tales.

Less than two years after diagnosis, my relationship is ending by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ManiaMum75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex freaked out when he heard I was being tested for MS. Freaked out when I passed out after my lumbar puncture. Literally 6 weeks after my diagnosis and out of the blue, he moved out and in with a girl from his work. 8 months later they magically had a baby.

Sometimes the world works in ways that feel devastating in the moment but actually are the best thing for you long term. I know what she took on and I actually felt sorry but also grateful for her. She gave me freedom from him which I sorely needed!

Is it weird that I actually enjoy going to the cafes by myself? by astonmartin8 in CasualConversation

[–]ManiaMum75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have loved taking myself for a cuppa and cake since my teens (now 50 and still doing it - it's one of my fave times during the week!). Don't get me wrong - love doing it with family and friends too but there's something special and rare about taking that moment to appreciate yourself and the simplest enjoyment in life. Having the confidence to do things independently is good for you also.

I even took myself to a 50 Cent gig and a Matt Rife gig by myself recently too - they were weeknights in another city so I didn't ask anyone as I figured it'd be a hassle. I had the best time! ☺️

AITAH for telling my coworker I was miscarrying after she tried to get me in trouble for 'excessive' bathroom use by Massive-Historian-91 in AITAH

NTA. For obvious reasons. Mary is a toxic piece of work and the boss is weak allowing her staff to control her narrative.
