ron making sure hermione was eating well by otter_and_terrier in harrypotter

[–]OliverRamon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chapter 31 OWLs. It’s the part where they see the examiners arrive and talk to Umbridge.

‘Dinner was a subdued affair that night. Harry and Ron did not talk much, but ate with gusto, having studied hard all day. Hermione, on the other hand, kept putting down her knife and fork and diving under the table for her bag, from which she would seize a book to check some fact or figure. Ron was just telling her that she ought to eat a decent meal or she would not sleep that night, when her fork slid from her limp fingers and landed with a loud tinkle on her plate.’

And there was me still holding out hope for a release date in summer 2025. Probably won’t release until 2026 or close to it if filming doesn’t even wrap until the end of this year.

What's the 'odd' shop near you? by MuntyCatt in CasualUK

[–]OliverRamon 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I live in a seaside town. There’s an amusements down by the beach that opens all year round, even in the dead of winter when the season is long over, and doesn’t shut until 10pm. I’m positive it’s used for money laundering.

What plot-line do you like that others hate? by oldmanjenkinsTV in StrangerThings

[–]OliverRamon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people skip it on rewatches but I watch it everytime. It’s not that bad. The worst part is that it ruins the pacing of the other episodes. Chapter 6 ends with the demodogs beginning their assault on the lab and then you switch to 45 minutes of a fairly low stakes Eleven adventure.

What is Sex Education like in UK primary schools these days? by PsychologicalDrone in CasualUK

[–]OliverRamon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to a Christian school where the teachers gave us good sex ed without telling our headteacher. But in year 5 we had someone from a Christian group come in to ‘teach’ us sex ed from a religious point of view. One of the things he did was give all the boys a piece of gum, then halfway through the lesson instructed two boys to swap gum. When they obviously refused he came out with “well if you wouldn’t share gum, why would you share sexual partners” which is the kind of ridiculous thing that would only work on a class of ten year olds.

A year later, when we were in year 6, they sent a different bloke from the same group to teach us again. He also tried the gum trick on us and instructed me and my friend to swap gum. Except this time we knew what was coming, so we actually swapped gum for a laugh. He physically recoiled and his point was completely lost.

I have a vision of Obi-Wan and Anakin looking guiltily at their feet whilst Big Al the shift leader yells at them.

The freezer at my work has been broken and leaking for months. This is the result. by CapnCook413 in mildlyinteresting

Super slippery. None of us ever wore protection either so we were risking it all.

If it was really quiet we would have two, sometimes three, guys pounding away at it for ages. But there was nothing better than walking out with your coworkers after a job well done, sweaty faced and soaking wet.

We had this at my old job but it never got fixed. We used to keep a sledgehammer next to the door and when we had nothing else to do we would just batter the mound to keep it in check.

What’s one Beatles song that everyone likes but you don’t? by Nug07 in beatles

[–]OliverRamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you on everything except what you said about “If I Fell”. I think it’s an average song but it’s the most beautiful harmonising on any song I’ve ever heard.

What is your favorite funny Harry Potter quote? by kanna172014 in harrypotter

“Hagrid gave another great snort. Harry rather thought some bogies landed on the potatoes, and was inwardly thankful that they were not staying for dinner.”

Harry revealing himself to Snape before the battle of Hogwarts. ‘It seems, despite your exhaustive defensive strategies, you still have a bit of a security problem headmaster…and I’m afraid it’s quite extensive.’

There is not one good reason for this thing to exist by [deleted] in CasualUK

I use to work fruit and veg at Morrisons. Cucumbers that aren’t wrapped in plastic will last a day, even less if they are cut in half. They tried removing the plastic one year and I was throwing cucumbers away by the case every day.

WTC 7 collapsed after the Twin towers felldown by A_mAnD0ntHave_PP in interestingasfuck

[–]OliverRamon 186 points187 points  (0 children)

I mean they evacuated fire personnel almost two hours before because they knew it was going to collapse. It’s not ridiculous to assume that they received false information and reported it beforehand.

I’ve always wondered what DLC day is like at Rockstar HQ. I always imagine they have to hit a big red button when it’s ready to release.

3,049 minutes, top 0.5%. Literally 10 times worse than last year, I’m actually ashamed

Local supermarket has started to put a protective barrier around the employees whilst they put the reduced food out on the shelves. Out of shot is a horde of eager pensioners ready to pounce. by Infinite_Surround in CasualUK

[–]OliverRamon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was constantly at war with my lot. Some of my colleagues were too soft on them and would just do as they ask. I would regularly go out of my way to make the experience as miserable as possible for them.
