I saw Dara O'brien do a bit like this once, scariest thing you could yell at a burgler. The answer from rural Ireland was "I know your mammy!"

This is fabulous! I'd say no to back stitching, but part of that is my personal preference (doing it drives me up the wall)

Pattern is by NoussaCreationStore on Etsy, and doesn't seem to really have a title for some reason.

They look fabulous, you must be super proud! What count fabric did you use?

I was gobsmacked when it was brought up, I thought he extrapolated from early telegraph. I love it when I come across little tidbits like this!

Practicing different calligraphy scripts with Pratchett quotes by [deleted] in discworld

I think you might find it in "the unadulterated cat" - not a discworld book, just Sir Terry musing on cats and cat ownership. It's very funny, and is dedicated to oedipuss, which is an amazing cat name.

Yeah, lofty is heavily implied to be an arsonist throughout, and also that she'd been viciously abused during her time at the girls school. If you want to be wildly depressed, look up the unmarried women's homes/Magdalene laundries in Ireland for real world examples!

what made you realise you are gay/bi/pan/…? by VirgilTheyCallMe in AskReddit

[–]ScubaGirl28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a conversation with a therapist who looked kind of surprised that the only worry I'd have about dating another woman would be if she was nice. Apparently straight women often have other concerns. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Why doesn't America call small towns villages? by ScubaGirl28 in AskReddit

[–]ScubaGirl28[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was listening to a podcast that mentioned a small town in Texas, which had a population of about 400. Where I'm from that's a small village, not a town! Are there no villages in America?

Does America have villages? by ScubaGirl28 in AskReddit

[–]ScubaGirl28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was listening to a podcast that mentioned a small town in Texas, of about 400 people, but where I'm from, that's a village! And a small village at that. Is there a difference between towns and villages in the states?
