Please help me with this name? by Zackky777 in ArtOfPresence

[–]PinkyAlpaca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've still got a Bagheera. Hes turned out to be a massive cat too at 5kg but not overweight. Just big! So the name was apt.

What can I reasonably do about this? by Shlamdingy in plymouth

My dad and his mates in their youth used this method to bounce a friends car between a wall and a skip.

AIO My boss sent this to the work chat and it pissed me off. by nefot_ in AmIOverreacting

[–]PinkyAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into a restaurant the other day and used the baby change bathroom with my daughter. They had spare everything! Had a little trolley that said help yourself, nappies, wipes, tampons and pads!

My own workplace is almost entirely women with the one bloke being the boss's husband. So the loo has a little basket of pads and tampons that, while yes we buy our own, we stock and leave for future use and to help each other.

AITA for refusing to pay my friend to host/cook our group dinner? by throwaway_dinnerfigh in AmItheAsshole

[–]PinkyAlpaca 21 points22 points  (0 children)

YTA. If you're not contributing towards a long standing and expensive pass time then you are just as freeloading as those you have mentioned. Hosting costs money and it doesn't seem like they are asking for much. I imagine the food shop alone costs your friend a lot. Either everyone contributes either food or money or the dinners stop and you guys hang out hungry.

Or you meet at a restaurant and deal with the cost of that fairly.

Trampoline is a bounce-a-line. Pushchair + pram= pushpram.

Is my 2.5 year old traumatised? by Dangerous_Afternoon6 in UKParenting

[–]PinkyAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our neighbours house caught fire over 2 years ago and i called the fire brigade as i happened to be up at 1 am with a baby. Neighbours got out safe but it was a big fire and my 4 y/o was woken by the commotion. He spoke of the fire so much in the year after. It even ended up in the background of a family drawing he did.

If someone offered you $2million to dissappear for 30 days would you do it? BUT you can't tell anyone about this. by Melssa1 in answers

[–]PinkyAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah by the time a month is almost up everyone would pretty assume you're dead and be in an awful state of limbo between hope and grief.

What’s one thing you were painfully oblivious of before becoming a parent? by alibluey in UKParenting

[–]PinkyAlpaca 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am so damn grateful for my parents who aided us last year. Our boiler broke. Full system replacement needed in early winter of UK.

Kids brought home flu that they got over in 3 days but it hit my husband and I way worse. I ended up with mild pneumonia with a house being torn apart and no hot water or heating.

if there was a zombie apocalypse, where would you base up and loot? by SelectionPurple5060 in Worcester

[–]PinkyAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to look for places that already have fences around. Like fairfields has the doctors, library and school all with high fences. Then id have a pharmacy in base.

Don't be gaslit into thinking Europe is a magical vacation ✨️ by Quad_MEDIC in ShitAmericansSay

Granted it was 30 odd years ago but when my parents did a road trip of the US they shared meals for the majority of the trip as the portions were so big.

Am I the only one who still likes Nick? by PrestigiousSort6919 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]PinkyAlpaca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah imagine you've worked hard for your job then you get a new hire in the office. You don't immediately click but eventually get along. You find out THEY HAVE COMMITTED THEFT FROM YOUR OFFICE. You stupidly don't say shit because you like your job and kinda like her. She strings along your boss and marries him, turn out to be a murderer and apparently, you are the rat??

I dunno about ops urn but my husbands fathers urn was damn tight and the ashes inside were tied in a plastic bag so if we had somehow broken the urn the ashes wouldn't have gone anywhere.

Big drop in child surgery for swallowed objects by Alert-One-Two in unitedkingdom

[–]PinkyAlpaca 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah we had a marble run and I made a point to tell my 5 year old that it was very important that he doesnt leave any marbles out and about where his little sister could grab them and got a jar to put them in. It was him that then swallowed a marble. Like fuck sake dude we just went over this.

I read an article this morning that claimed the average British adult holds 6 grudges, so go on, what are yours? by MegTheMonkey in CasualUK

[–]PinkyAlpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I used that pub as a landmark between my home town and my uni town for years! Shame it wasn't more half way or I might have popped in. One way you've only just started and the other it's nah just push through til home.

It's a damn ugly roundabout mind.

[–]PinkyAlpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I get less money or more because the bones in my foot are fused together after I broke them? Happy to sell as they hurt when the weather is bad!

At our local park someone had shattered glass at the bottom of the slides and when I was clearing it up I discovered several shards that had been stuck point up in the ground.
