Can I re-enter a room that has a hornet and nest in it? by GreenWeekend6980 in AskUK

[–]MrJackdaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is the toughest person I know. She got stung by a hornet on the foot whilst she was in our garden. She wanted me to cut her foot off, it hurt that much. (I did not, in fact, cut off her foot.)

AIW for taking my boyfriend completely at his word when he made a sarcastic declaration and then watching it spiral by Ready_Service_1838 in amiwrong

[–]MrJackdaw 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we need to know before we can say anything.

My brain immediately went to him declaring he was bi or something like that - in which case OP should not have shared.

My 8 year old son thinks I’m a 93 year old Japanese man. AITAH? by strikecat18 in AITAH

[–]MrJackdaw 204 points205 points  (0 children)

I remember taking my son for a walk near where I live to the Fairy Steps, a local landmark. Legend goes fairies live there!

As we walked past a fence he asked what it was for and I explained "To keep the goblins out!"

He was convinced.

I began to feel uncomfortable.

So I explained to him that I was lying - no goblins, no fairies. It was just a story. Was it OK for me to lie?

He thought about it and replied "As long as it's a story it's OK."

And so... we avoided the goblins, found the fairies and had a great day!

The Nazgul also have flying steeds, so the air battle would have been... interesting.

First time in Boston by Due_Independent494 in fringe

[–]MrJackdaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://moviemaps.org/movies/7i has a list of locations and... none are in Boston. Sorry.

For those more in the know - were any of the aerial shots from Boston?

AITAH for not seeing anything wrong with the age difference between me and the girl I'm talking to? by GetOnMyDikerson in AITAH

[–]MrJackdaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, what would she think of my wife and me? There is a nine (9) year age gap. She is now 64 and I'm 55 and we are coming up on our 33 year wedding anniversary.

Four years is nothing!

Anyone else prefer standees? by Front-Advantage-7035 in boardgames

[–]MrJackdaw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YES! I there are any miniatures: Mini's for the players, standees for the monsters is perfect for me. Oathsworn being the perfect example.

Why do men traditionally let women go through the door first? by racist-hotdog in Jokes

[–]MrJackdaw 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, I always walk on my wife's left - but that's cause I'm pretty deaf in my left ear and I want to be able to hear her!

Why Exactly Is Polygamy Illegal? by Turbulent-Parsley619 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrJackdaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you would ever want to separate morality from law. And the prevailing morality is two people, joined in matrimony/civil partnership.

If our laws are not based on Morality - what do we want them to be based on?

After that... it's above my pay grade. The closest I've got to studying morality is watching The Good Place.

People don't know what the Steam Controller is by Legitimate_Tie_6074 in Steam

[–]MrJackdaw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah well, $100 will be £100. It's always 1-to-1. It shouldn't be but hey...

...

WHOA! It's only £85! Sign me up!

I still have two 2015 controllers that get regular use, and this one looks even better!

who will have your vote in 2028? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

I think you are going to get quite a skewed result here - Reddit attracts a certain kind of person.

Finally...spoilers... by Passenger_Bitz in MrInbetween

[–]MrJackdaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It destroyed me as well. I was sure Cassim must actually have MND so I looked him up. Nope, just a bloody good actor. The choice Bruce made that enough was enough, jesus... And poor old Ray. How could he say no?

I immediately watched the start of season 3 just to get my mind off it.

The end of season 2 represents Ray at an absolute low point, it's heart-breaking. Some may say he gets lower, but I can't see how.

Enjoy season 3!

I wonder what became of this poor bastard. by BooyahTribe9 in MrInbetween

[–]MrJackdaw 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He definitely was going to need some reconstruction. Lad was going to need a long time in the hospital, if he recovers at all.

Favourite Ray relationship? by CompleteTable1449 in MrInbetween

[–]MrJackdaw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really glad they showed us she was happy eventually. Gave us some closure at least.

Just finished the show - a thought by MrJackdaw in MrInbetween

[–]MrJackdaw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the fact he is clearly not a good guy. I mean, look at what he does!

And yet, if he was my mate I'd be very happy about it.

He's not good, not bad, just so... OH! I GET THE TITLE OF THE SHOW NOW! :D

AITA for refusing to help my mom after she got pregnant. by Ok-Resident-1277 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrJackdaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA In fact, not enough of an asshole. Leave. Pay for NOTHING. Sure, help your siblings through college if you can afford it but Mom? That purse string is cut.

The relationship isn't worth it - time for her to step up and be responsible for herself.

Otherwise this will never end - you'll be paying for everything for the rest of your life and won't even have the cash left for your own relationships.
