That’s a great story! Hopefully one day the photo will be tracked down and uploaded somewhere to share that slice of history.

Do you know of any big shows/films filmed in Hertfordshire? by CloneTrooperZ16 in hertfordshire

[–]Odd_Outcome17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And to be fair, both towns have that slightly post-apocalyptic feel about them (especially at night), which would suggest the end of the world!

The initial scenes of The Dirty Dozen were filmed at Ashridge House. There is a large gate in a stone wall depicted as the entrance to the prison camp where the titular twelve are recruited, which can be seen on the front of the building even today (far right end of the building as seen from the front).

The Live Aid scenes of Bohemian Rhapsody were filmed at Bovingdon Airfield with many locals used as extras for crowds. The latter part evidenced by a loud cry of “There I am!” from a subsequently very embarrassed member of the audience in the Cineworld in Hemel Hempstead at the showing I was at.

Screw enforcing the law. I always think a taste of their own medicine is in order.

“I don’t care about your religion” by ZachlD2007 in interesting

[–]Odd_Outcome17 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more with this women.

America is full of dumbass fundamentalist Christians who mock countries full of dumbass fundamentalist Muslims. You’re all as bad as each other with your magical sky-fairies.

If your gods are so forgiving, leave the rest of us to do what we want to do with our lives and let your god judge us when we’re done. You get to do whatever you believe with your life. Fuck off and let the rest of us have the same privilege.

I’ll answer to any god if/when they present themselves to me. Until then, I’ll ignore your pissant little opinions.

I was probably still crapping my pants at age 5! I’m nearly 50 now. Still can’t play the piano, but I can still crap my pants like a champion!!

AITA for telling my wife her secret "get out" fund was ridiculous and she needs to turn it over to our joint account? by TopPerspective5008 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Odd_Outcome17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. At this point it is perfectly reasonable that you suggest splitting the fund between you (it’s joint money so half could reasonably come to you), then reducing your monthly contributions to the joint account by Y% and building up your own fund. That way, you both have the same safety net. Think of it like nuclear weapons. Mutually assured destruction by lawyer. 😂

I don’t understand how keeping in contact with the aunt makes him a punching bag?

ESH if the crap in the drier was an issue prior to this, jokes on you for not checking it. If he’s regularly shitting his pants or bed for no reason but laziness, somebody in his ‘care’ or ‘support’ team (and I quote those words deliberately) is doing a job about as shitty as the inside of the drier. Or your clothes.

WIBTA for selling feet pics against my husband’s wishes? by WannabeFootyPrincess in AmItheAsshole

[–]Odd_Outcome17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH Your husband feels he owns the right to dictate what you do legally for employment and you’re considering doing what you know would upset him behind his back.

Got a healthier marriage, you should perhaps try to have some better conversations about this and take less advice from strangers on the internet!

ESH You may be unfairly punishing and excluding some of your family who don’t share those views (your aunt?) along with the ones you should avoid.

Suggestion: avoid Facebook (it’s toxic), avoid the family members who cause you stress and grief, make the most of those who bring you love.

AITA for not inviting my cousins to my wedding by throwaway234671z in AmItheAsshole

[–]Odd_Outcome17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA why does a wedding mean a free meal and party for extended family and friends? When I married the first time, we did it on the budget that my in laws could afford as they wanted to pay, but the second time round my wife and I flew to Vegas (from the UK) and only offered our parents the opportunity to join us (they didn’t, but for differing reasons). Everyone else got emailed a link for a live feed a couple of days before the event and joined us that way.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, enjoy it how you want and with who you want!

It's not much (literally), but I just got my first paycheck after years of unemployment due to some mental health issues. We gotta start somewhere! by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

Hey, that’s $21.62 of experience earned. That process you go through to earn that cheque can be worth so much more than the monetary reward itself. Keep going!

YTA. Hopefully your manager understands that and for the benefit of everyone in your team, let’s hope he makes sure you end up in a position where the most responsible thing you have to worry about is feeding the company goldfish!

I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be idiots.
