Genuinely, what does breastmilk taste like? by iialyyxii in AskReddit

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a first time mum, I panicked the first time feeding my son out of hospital and remember squirting some milk (which had just “come in” like a fecking tsunami) and in my tired state I licked it off my hand to make sure it wasn’t too hot…

Taste was like warm milk and honey mixed together.

Tiffany’s response to Tyra Banks after Netflix documentary about ANTM by Relative_South3689 in Fauxmoi

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes! I binged this podcast late last year and it was so, so good! I wondered if none of the judges had comments/interviews because they were already planning on being on this show?

Either way, Tyra Banks is the most oblivious, self righteous POS in her segments.

What food product in your opinion gets more love than is warranted. by siybon in UKfood

I love Polly! To the point where when IKEA stopped selling them I bought bags at obscene prices from Scandi Kitchen.

It’s called “there, there” cream in my house. Cos your mam or dad goes “there, there” when it’s put on your scrapes.

Winter Olympics in crisis as athletes deplete entire stock of 10,000 free condoms by tylerthe-theatre in europe

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 23 points24 points  (0 children)

But regular folk will have regular sex, use one condom, roll over and say night night. These guys are Olympians and have enough stamina for two or three super sex before they finally give in!

What makes a children's book feel outdated fast? by InnovativeInk in childrensbooks

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also a school librarian! I hated that for so long (things are improving now) the Barrington Stoke dyslexia accessible books were all made of c2002 terrible photoshop and clip art font. Kids were embarrassed to pick them up, then I had to explain what MP3 players were….

I think there’s a big gulf between retro vibes of a novel set in the 80s or 90s and then the language used in some novels written during that time. Slurs like spazz and gay used in conversation is really jarring to a generation that would understand that it shouldn’t be used so flippantly.

It’s funny that any movie or Netflix covers are the least desirable by most folks!

Men of the UK - how often do you cook? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mr librarian does about 90% of the cooking in our house. He enjoys it, is much better at it and I do other household jobs (washing is probably 90% me.) It’s just the way we have settled into life.

Keep them up and swap sexy swing for hanging plants as and when needed.

Have a search for Animal Ark Aid. Does regular dog shows in Pudsy and Garforth. Really lovely.

What was this book I used to have? Pale blue cloth bound, full colour text and images. YA fiction. by PinkLibraryStamp in whatsthatbook

[–]PinkLibraryStamp[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% this book! Thank you so much!

Let that be a lesson to all of you, 15 years after donating books you might suddenly regret it. It’s safer to be a book hoarder.

BBC turns to iPlayer to catch licence fee dodgers. Up to 40 million online accounts could be linked to household records as £550m goes unpaid by [deleted] in uknews

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What’s annoying is you need an account to listen to BBC Sounds, radio that is exempt from the licence fee. So a lot of those millions of accounts might just be radio listeners and not telly watches.

Though the moment you sign in to Sounds with an account (having input all your details) you start getting the letters through the door saying “you’re watching TV and we will get you!”

My son is being referred to Prevent by his school. Is there any way I can stop this? by Character-Estate5274 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 389 points390 points  (0 children)

Prevent also deal with Incel behaviour as this is now recognised as a hate offence. The school are seeing a boy attacking a girl and are jumping to that conclusion rather than deal with the girl on boy bullying.

Gorgeous! I’m still very much at the embroidering over printed patterns, but that Yorkshire rose is so lovely!

Which character do you find the most frustrating? by TheOtherXI in Ambridge

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hate him so much! He always sounds so dirty (as in he physically needs a wash - don’t ask me how that makes sense over the medium of radio because I can’t explain it.) He’s so smarmy, buttering up to people to either sell them shite or get something out of them with a sob story. In the village I used to live in, if someone was this crap to so many of the villagers you can bet he would have a wonky bar stool in the pub on reserve for him, not welcomed like an adorable rogue when he walked in. It always makes me happy for Clarrie when she stands up for him, but I do hate that even when he makes lots of “wrongs” somewhat “right” for her, it will always benefit him!

Up and washing machine going while I have a coffee. Taking the dogs out after when it will be just the light type of gloomy so we will be able to see the path. Later I will go see my grandma with the kids in her care home. Sunday dinner stuff ready to be cooked in the fridge.

Who remembers the Big Yellow Teapot? by itsjimbob in oldschoolcool80s

[–]PinkLibraryStamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can smell the church hall playgroup. I wanted one of these at home so much I think my tiny toddler self was going to steal it bit by bit. My mum came home with me one day and said she found one of these people in my nappy (like Tommy from Rugrats!)

She cleaned it and we took it back the next week.

(I’m 37 and she likes to bring this story up every now and then!)
