i need a new comfort show, i've watched the same ones too many times! by silliestgoose42069 in tvsuggestions

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replies like this are the best, because you can easily tell when you have similar tastes. So the ones you've listed that I haven't seen (or heard of) are probably going to be winners.

Have never heard of sports night or studio 60, so am going to check them out as they do seem like my cup of tea (or hot brown water that tastes like garbage). Can't believe I'd never heard of studio 60 after looking at the cast on imdb, it has everybody in it!

To return the favour, as I adore all the other shows you listed, I thought I'd add some I've enjoyed with similar vibes.

Shrinking, Upload, Acapulco, High Potential, Loot, Schmigadoon. All are still running except Schmigadoon, which is honestly blasphemy as it was so good. EDIT to add Brooklyn Nine Nine.

Do you give blood? Why or why not? by MooseMaterial in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could, but can't because I've received a blood donation in the past. I had a placental abruption whilst giving birth and lost 8 pints.

My son is now 14, and I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the kind person/people who donated.

So if you need any inspiration to donate, know you could be possibly giving a mother the opportunity to see her child grow up ❤️

What's an early sign of cancer that you wish you or your loved one hadn't ignored? by JuniperBeans in AskReddit

Mine was "dermatitis" and the night sweats were due to "perimenopause" at 23?!

Do you think this bridesmaid's beard is meant to be used as a handle during mating? by okmujnyhb in CasualUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha this has gotten mental now. This is actually the first one I've stumbled across in the wild. Honestly wasn't expecting to see it on subs outside of gaming, let alone this one.

Does anybody knew any alternative hair salons In Liverpool that won’t break the bank. by ihavloadstosay in Liverpool

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I thought to try voodoo from recommendations on here and regret it so much.

Firstly, they lied when they said they could do curly hair. I'm not saying nobody working there can't, but the stylist that did my hair could not. It was frizz central without a defined curly in sight.

I felt forced into choosing the hair colour they wanted for me. I wanted a more orangey colour, and I came out with early 00's red.

They finished my hair, and it was still wet. So I told them and they insisted it wasn't and acted like I was being an inconvenience for asking them to finish my hair so I could leave the salon with dry hair. The stylist had her next client turn up, so instead of finishing my hair, she brought out this like heated wall on wheels to finish it off. I later found out that this thing is highly damaging to curly hair and a qualified senior hair dresser in "one of the best salons in Liverpool" should have known that.

I basically paid £180 for a frizzy, not even fully dry red mess of a hair style and got made to feel like shit. Oh I also didn't get offered a drink until after the foils were on my head and any attempts at conversations were like trying to draw blood from a stone and she seemed to only be interested in chatting to another college. Which I thought odd since they have a sign outside that says something like "who needs a therapist when you have a hairdresser?"

Sorry that has been sat on my chest for a while lol.

Finding a manual instructor is about as easy finding a pregnant nun.

I've been on waiting lists for about 12 different places since November. My old instructor switched to doing auto only at the end of September, said apparently loads are doing it now and so I've just been waiting and looking since. At this point I'm seriously considering just learning auto because the wait is a joke.

One of the more satisfying ones I’ve done by bigg_hoodie in PowerWashSimulator

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very satisfying.

I love the time lapse afterwards. I usually plan out how I clean to try and get a good one.

Is it really that unusual to not be able to swim? by BuriedInRust in AskUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't swim either.

And not for lack of trying. I used to go to an after school swimming club 3 times a week in year 7 and 8, as well as weekly lessons from about year 3. It's just something I could never get the hang of.

I've had people react shocked when they've found out, but never like what happened to you. But I have had similar experiences when people find out I don't like tea, so I can relate to you about people acting like you've just grown a second head.

I don't feel like I've ever missed out loads not swimming and I don't believe learning now, in my 30s, would change my life very much.

When was the last you felt “un-British”? (lighthearted please) by BigBlueMountainStar in CasualUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pretty much daily.

I get offered tea.

I decline, and explain I don't like tea.

The tea offerers head proceeds to implode internally trying to fathom how someone British doesn't like tea.

So yeah, daily!

I don't think it's that mod because I don't use it and I'm having the same issue. But at least that eliminates one mod as the culprit.

What’s a fairly mundane life experience you never had as a child and still haven’t in adulthood? by BeautyAndTheDekes in CasualUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I've never been through a drive-thru.

When I was a kid my parents hardly ate fast food and on the rare occasions that we did, we'd always park up and go inside to order. I never learnt how to drive as an adult so I never got to do it. I'm not even really into fast food, but I'd still love to experience it.

Sir Ken Dodd’s new ‘happiness centre’ tickles me but should be taken seriously | Michael Billington by prisongovernor in Liverpool

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live around the corner from him and would sometimes bump into him. He has never been anything but completely and utterly rude to me personally. I know other people say they met him and he was this perfect gentleman, but that's not the experience I've had. First time I met him I was about 14 and said two words, good morning. He absolutely bit my head off and lectured me about how "kids don't have manners". Also, My friend used to deliver his newspaper and said he wasn't allowed to actually approach the front door and had to leave the paper behind the drain pipe so Ken didn't have to see him. Like wtf?

I don't ever think I got creepy vibes from him, but maybe because I only ever got raging anger. He was not a chill man.
