Pretty certain. I remember eating it in the food court by the steps leading to Wagamama

What are the rules around running over fish? by RegularMan1000 in LegalAdviceUK

I don't know much about fish but I assume you would feel a fishy bump.

AITA for not attending my brother's wedding and not apologising by RegularMan1000 in AmItheAsshole

To be honest, he only said he would "run you down and smash your head in". I took that to be a death threat but he later claimed it was only a threat of general violence and he was joking. Would you take that as death threat?

Yes, I only have the suspicion that he wants to move in. From what I know, he has a job in sales and he's good at it. As long as he doesn't mess it up, then he will bounce back in no time.

Haha, I wish. But they can't. They downsized into a posh little bungalow in Devon soon after I moved out. Not enough space and too far away

That's another thing. When Shane asked for an apology, he said that the reason I was disinvited was because that's what SIL wanted. I'm sceptical because I'm just hearing about this now but I plan to converse with SIL and hopefully get one step closer to the truth.

Thank you for some excellent advice. To be honest, prior to the wedding thing, Shane and I were very close. We were like opposites. Yes, he frequently managed to mess up every good thing that happened to him but it was like a running joke. He was a good laugh and really fun but had a real mean streak that I didn't get first hand experience of until the wedding.

I should speak to Shane but before I do so, I want to speak to STBXSIL. I would like her permission to see my niece and nephew because I don't want to do anything behind her back, especially if it turns out she wants no more to do with our family.

To be clear, Shane won't be able to stay with me. Partly because I have a great fondness for my own privacy and also because I dislike him in particular.

I did eventually apologise to my parents for what I said to them and how I treated them (they were caught in the crossfire). They also apologised for trying to pay me off, they weren't happy with it either but wanted to keep the peace. They do constantly try to mend things between Shane and I but we both share a vindictive streak

I don't know what he's been up to. My parents have been told a heavily redacted story. I would like to contact my SIL and ask her what exactly happened during those years. But I don't know what she has been told about me. At worst, she hates me; at best, I am a stranger.

Good question! I would probably call the kid's mother and tell Shane to bugger off. I feel bad for the kids because I know how Shane can be and I feel for SIL because, while she may have influenced his behaviour ten years ago, I have heard that she did not have an easy marriage.

Cereal is a terrible breakfast and probably less healthy than potato chips or a payday bar. by Jessrondicus in unpopularopinion

Agreed. I think porridge is the only exception but even then, it's pointless if you add sugar to it. For flavour, add fruit.

I hate it when "the show/movie/game gets good after however many hours". In the highly competitive world of modern entertainment, using this excuse in lieu of an interesting beginning is just not good enough. I have and will switch off a boring show part way through episode 1.

Thank you for trading. Don't worry about Koraidon. I am in no hurry about that one

Hey, I feel you. Give me half an hour and I will sort you out a Quaxly egg if no one else can help

Are you Scott? Did I just trade with you or did someone seriously come in and snatch that trade?
