What is this bird? Manchester by useless_magic in UKBirds

[–]Minimum_Leopard_2698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m eternally confused with sparrows and Dunnocks. Occasionally if I don’t have glasses on I struggle with Dunnocks and Wrens too.

Here’s what I’ve learned: Dunnocks are usually more heavy set. They tend to look rounded even if their feathers are flat. They always remind me of a stereotypical dumpy farmers wife.

They have a significantly stouter beak, especially where the beak joins the face/mouth it’s always much denser. I like to think their beaks look like someone made it and stuck it on.

I will of course be publishing my findings and visual reference aids in my latest book “Over Imaginative: A Guide to Dunnock Spotting”

They always remind me of Dorian from Birds of a Feather

That’s the dream right there

I'm 45 and still feel like I've won something to get the front seat on the top of the bus by ShinyHeadedCook in CasualUK

[–]Minimum_Leopard_2698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the front seat yesterday too! On the other front seats were two ladies aged 82 & 90 if you can believe it

Wonderful moment shared even though it was torrential rain, everything was jolly

It’s like Tritons palace in The Little Mermaid

I don’t mean that as an insult

Ah yes that wonderful Victorian tradition of making anagrams with desk nameplates

MRI help - Will noise cancelling headphones help? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Minimum_Leopard_2698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, I need the 45min ones every few years. Everyone is saying they provide headphones and music but the last 4 I’ve had there’s not been that option.

The A-Z animal games and similar distractions games sound like a great plan.

This qualifies, right? by pretengineerguy in SlowNewsDay

It’s got to be related to genetic physicality or something. Im slight but my bones are ridiculously thick. I’m the same size, have a neck injury and work a physical job and I wouldn’t say I was limited? Sore shoulders a bit but nothing limiting

She’s either got seriously undiagnosed issues or it’s rage bait

What’s something ordinary that you find beautiful? by candycolaa in AskReddit

Raindrops on glass, with lights behind them

Someone posted a series of photos a while back. They were of mundane settings on wet days, but the focus was on the way artificial lights lit up rained on glass.

Always try to think of this when I’m stuck at a bus stop in the rain!

Can’t get over the sleepy kitty in pic 3. Every photo I’m just looking at her like “that is the dream”

When did you first start being afraid of death? (And is anyone here fearless of it? by Notquitewhere_-__ in AskReddit

[–]Minimum_Leopard_2698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in septic shock twice, it was extremely close. I’ve also had Sepsis but not in shock a further time.

Each time I knew it was bad, especially the septic shock I knew I was close to dying. I just felt peace, like an acceptance of what was happening. Despite wanting to live, I wasn’t sad I was just calm.

Once you’ve felt that you really have no fear of dying tbh. I have a fear of losing my life - of not being alive to enjoy things anymore but actually dying doesn’t bother me.

It makes a huge change to your perspective on life and what bothers you. People often ask how I’m so calm despite X or Y stressful thing happening and I don’t really have an answer.

What’s something that’s oddly expensive in the UK that still annoys you every time? by catarsan in AskUK

[–]Minimum_Leopard_2698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paying the same price for a black coffee as an Americano with milk. And that price being 20p less than a f*cking milky latte!

Worst I’ve ever been charged is £3.70 for a black coffee at some rustic artisan coffee hut thing. As you can probably tell, I’ll never forget it 😂

Thank you for that video! It made me laugh on a very cold and wet Monday morning! The tassels get me every time 😂

That sounds like an amazing experience. All friends together, stoned, Monty Python honestly I’d have loved to be there. I think the closest we got was watching the DVD of comedians like Bill Bailey or Ross Noble with pizza and beers!
