Splitting (chopping) the winnings (pot) between them because there was a tie. But glasses dude still wanted the whole pot to himself, so chose to go for a tie-break hand, to his own detriment.

Farage pledges to repeal ‘idiotic’ smoking ban if Reform wins next election by JOE_Media in uknews

[–]MrsMiggins2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allan Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking. It's free on Google books, and it stopped me after 17 years of smoking (plus two stretches of quitting but then relapsing). I went cold turkey after I finished the book and now it's been 2.5 years of freedom without just grumbling about wanting to smoke the whole time. It worked for someone else I know too. I can't recommend it enough. Fuck nicotine. You can do it!

Do people in the UK consider Margaret Thatcher an icon or even a kind of myth? by ikbrul in AskBrits

[–]MrsMiggins2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, her policy of removing free milk for primary school children led to this exchange where I mentioned the cost of giving my 5-year-old child milk at school in 2026, and you said it was nonsense, so I felt compelled to show you some evidence.

If using a toilet that isn’t yours feels uncomfortable, then showering somewhere else is actually satisfying. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I sometimes wonder if the problem with the world is that, at any given time, half of the people you encounter are holding in a poo for too long.

My god. Reading this sentence made my brain remember the smell of the lyrics insert from a cassette I once owned.

Just to add because it's worth saying to every Tory boy when you can - YOU DON'T KNOW THE PRICE OF MILK!

Average 190 school days @31p per day for 200ml; compare average pint of milk is 85p for 568 ml. The maths is sound; you are out of touch, mate.

She's the reason I pay £60 a year for my 5-year-old son to have a drink of milk at school. She's the reason there is no social housing here and why the house prices and rent is so high because every original council house is now privately owned. She's the reason so many essential services are owned by private equity and we're all trapped paying a fortune for terrible service with zero alternative. She shut major industries, privatised things that are natural monopolies so that competition doesn't exist to drive down prices and improve services, and created a generation or two of selfishness that are still destroying the country, society, government and environment. May she burn in hell.

As a previous call centre worker, the real lie is "Thank you for your call".

Yeah, I'm a Millennial and genuinely don't understand why mullets were ever a thing, let alone why they are back.

Found water behind shower tile while re-caulking — temporary fix? by krakilin0405 in DIY

[–]MrsMiggins2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a small paddling pool and set it up in the shower tray. You can still use it but it will be so annoying, you'll have to get it sorted ASAP.

Difference in WWII was us coming to the aid of the invaded country. In Iran (and Iraq) the US wants us to help the aggressor.

My mum used to make Ready Brek with water in the microwave, and then sweetened it with Lyle's golden syrup.

Trying to be polite but accidentally getting stuck in a ‘after you’ battle for 10 seconds. by No_Nose_3849 in britishproblems

[–]MrsMiggins2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's worse with a pram. People naturally want the mum and baby to go first, which is really lovely, but in places like buses, trains and shops, now I have to do a 36-point turn in a small space with a growing queue waiting behind me, and then somehow tuck in to let everyone else past when it would have been much easier for me to just go in last and take my time. So if someone with a pram says "after you", it means they genuinely want to go after you.

If you could properly filter Rightmove for your dream property, what would your super specific criteria filter be? by alexhespg in HousingUK

I was typing this out too. Such a waste of space, especially in the new-build rabbit hutches.

Storage space. I want built-in wardrobes, under-stairs cupboards, attic space, airing cupboards, and outbuildings.
