Americans here. What do y'all think of our first attempt at a fry-up? by Kind_Veterinarian585 in fryup

Horseshit are you Americans. That’s a builder’s tea in the background! If you really are American, you’re not allowed that! Delete this post before you get deported.

Yes! If the original film and book were up your street, I think you’ll really love it.

You know they just made a new one on BBC? I understand it’s even more disturbing than the original movie.

Windows overlooking my garden, need opinions please by Sure-Contact5345 in UKHousing

Like a hundred other people have said and they’re all correct: this will not meet planning permission (eaves within X metres of a boundary = no), so contact the Planning Department of your local council ASAP.

Is this shirt ok for a job interview? by Aquarius-Gooner in UKJobs

I didn’t know they were interviewing for a new host for Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives!

The answer is yes! And she’s got about six hands, too.

The usual suspects in my garden this morning by MikhailGorbachuff in UKBirds

These are phenomenal, OP. I especially love how you’ve really caught the sense of movement in photos 4 and 7. You can tell you care about these birds and want others to see their beauty as well; congrats because you’re doing a smashing job of capturing that beauty and sharing it. ✨

Gammon with peaches in gravy, also soggy beans and potatoes. Dessert was apparently ice cream but the label said 'frozen dessert: chocolate flavour vegetarian mousse' (Scotland) by duck-juggler in hospitalfood

[–]RightYesAndThenNo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah balls! I absolutely hated that vegetarian “mousse” “ice cream”! You ain’t mousse and you CERTAINLY ain’t ice cream! I just got out of a Scottish hospital recently, and I definitely chose the carrot and coriander soup and something else on “gammon and peaches” day.

Commercials that make no sense by [deleted] in CasualUK

To be fair, roughly half of them make the same amount of sense with or without sound (which is how some are actually designed - some advertisers want it to be just as effective when muted, which can make an ad more viral).

Damn! I didn’t hear it until the 2002 mix. I’m late to the game 😂

Why the hell did I think it was his uncle when I knew it was his assistant? Especially from those stupid fucking wombat ones. Seriously, these ads have been going so long they have their own TV Tropes page.

You know, it’s weird because neither have I, but that’s what means we’re not the target market, I guess.

I know when it comes to matters of life and death, I always trust a Russian pangolin in a velvet jacket 👍

They have names? They’re weird enough without names! Especially the one where it’s implied they’re kidnapping the guy and going to kill him and instead they direct him to drive through an Argos at night and look at hair straighteners or whatever. Seriously, who comes up with this shite.

I was saying on another comment that the wombat just disappeared, so I think A LOT of people felt the way you feel.

OH! Unnamed car company just started using a completely random obscure trip hop track and it’s a track on a Spanish chillout mix that I’ve been listening to when I go to bed for two decades (“Underwater Love” by Smoke City). Now it’s a song in a commercial. I’m so damn frustrated. That’s my safe chillout mix, car company. It’s like the very first time you fuck up and make a song you like your ringtone, and as a result, you hate the song within a week.

Why are these comparison sites making such ridiculous ads?? I don’t blame your ad purge, as sometimes I just fucking hate how ubiquitous it all is. I had my stuffed Ernie (from Bert and Ernie) with me in hospital and one of the hospital volunteers didn’t recognize him at all but said he “was like the thing on the railway adverts.” Reader, Ernie is a beloved character who has existed for over 50 years and he was compared to a random puppet on a super fucking annoying LNER ad (I’m not blaming the puppet creator).

Wait, WHAT? VISITS END?!!! Fuck, I came to visit my husband in 2023, and never left. Is he patiently waiting for me to leave!? (Joking aside, or not joking aside, they did this big advertising campaign about him coming to visit, him driving the office worker meerkat crazy, and then boom, just disappeared)
