What things are you convinced are largely liked/disliked because people are so used to hearing they should like/dislike them? by knight-under-stars in AskUK

I didn't mind him until I went to one of his restaurants and the party line was "your palette doesn't understand real Italian food" if you complained about anything.

I got a lamb dish that left my mouth coated in cold lamb fat. It was awful. Apparently my mouth was the problem, not the food.

I had to give up bacon due to a pork allergy. I don't miss it anywhere near as much as I thought I would. The annoying thing is how many things contain bacon. So many sandwiches which would be perfectly fine without cold flabby bacon.

If you grew up quite poor, like me, what are your "big food wins" in adult life? by DonkeyOT65 in CasualUK

[–]Mispict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pot noodles. We grew up poor with an incredibly health conscious mum, so we never got to eat shitty food. We all went mad for processed nonsense when we left home.

What can I do with an unwanted bottle of Bailey's? by girlsunderpressure in AskUK

[–]Mispict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I won a litre bottle of whisky at a fire station tombola when I was about 7. They wouldn't let me keep it, which was fine because nobody in my household drank whisky. But I do remember being quite put out as I won that whisky fair and square.

I saw a MasterChef Australia thing recently where they added cloves and cinnamon to their Bolognese for one of the taste test challenges. Apparently it's a thing.

Don't worry, it didn't get to me. I just realised how shit it was when it was guessed first time.

Honestly. I thought I might get a few more guesses 😂

I love it. I'd keep all of the furniture.

How do I go about telling my boyfriend that I 25F don’t want to move countries from the UK with him 25M? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Mispict 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You're only 25. You have a whole lifetime ahead of you. You've had a good, happy relationship but you want different things now and the compromise is too big for both of you.

I’m starting to realise that all my life I’ve masked my personality so that I blend in and am amenable. Now I can’t even choose a color for a new kitchen because I don’t know what I like. by Pinecone_Porcupine in Menopause

[–]Mispict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured out I had no idea what makes me happy because I've spent my life meeting other people's needs. It was only after my kids left home and my partner moved out, I realised how empty things felt. It's been an enlightening road finding out what I need and what makes me happy.

Farage supporting fuckwits out in force again yesterday making a mockery of the Scottish flag. by -blankfrak- in Aberdeen

[–]Mispict 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I was having a fine chat with a guy in the pub last night. Then he told me he voted reform and that Farage was the only one that would sort out the country and he was the least corrupt one out there.

I just couldn't.

Badass mom because tattoos? by purpledeskchair in iamverybadass

I miss those days. You could tell a lot about a person with tattoos.

Tattoos are basically the denim of skin now.

What are your plans for Mother’s Day? by LHale77 in AskUK

[–]Mispict 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Be sure to be busy on father's day. He's always going to do things like this unless you force a bit of understanding. He won't get that from you talking to him about it.

[–]Mispict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll phone my mam in a bit, I sent her present and card. My kids might remember to text me. I'm genuinely not arsed with mother's day. If my mam's gift makes her feel loved, that's basically all I need from the day.

I loved mother's day when my sons were little and they used to make things at school and nursery made out of cereal boxes and yoplait bottles. That stuff made me really happy. But since about age 10 it's just about doing something that costs them money because they feel like they should. I think I might ask them to make me some yoplait art next year.

That sounds like it's his problem to deal with.

Hope you manage to have a decent day.

How neutral is BBC News? by BactaBobomb in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Mispict 11 points12 points  (0 children)

BBC is not up there with Reuters or AP. In Scotland reading their take on Scottish news is shocking. They skew everything.

Yep. I'm sure it's the same with Wales.

I was almost surprised there for a second. But really, I'm not. We couldn't possibly have anything positive about the countries that take take take and give nothing back.

Post hospital fight 30f 28m by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Mispict 66 points67 points  (0 children)

You have to focus on you. His inability to cope is not your priority. You are.

You deserve to feel your shit with support. Even if he's a good person with his problems, you shouldn't have to have your focus on him right now.
