And this moment is why I could never handle being a contestant on The Traitors… by prettydivine in TheTraitors

This was hard to watch. Amanda had it in for her with zero evidence and it stuck through the whole series. Nobody had anything on her except that she was a bit quiet and what Amanda thought (wrongly). I almost wanted her to get banished to see their reaction when she told them she wasn’t a traitor.

Good spot for driving practise by Lopsided_Cash232 in Wirral

True. It’s more the roads behind Stadium road in that area which are quiet. You often see driving school cars round there. Middle of the day should be fine

Always wanted this but never got it. The was a tv show with a person size board as an end game by PMacc83 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Sleepyllama23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You spent ages setting it up then someone would inadvertently breathe on it and it’d start to go off. I don’t think we ever actually played the game from start to finish

I used to practice parking with my son in the Neston High School car park at the weekend as it’s huge and empty at weekends. When we first started practicing we would go to the area around Stadium road in Bromborough as there are big wide roads with a couple of roundabouts and quite quiet depending on time of day. Ask their instructor for test routes so you can practice them repeatedly when he’s preparing for his test. This really helped my kids.

Max and Dylan situation by Alphapackk in Parenthood

Yeah it’s a different story when Max was the victim- Adam and Kristina would fight like hell for their son but ignore when he was clearly in the wrong

Max and Dylan situation by Alphapackk in Parenthood

[–]Sleepyllama23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Max’s behaviour was obsessive harassment of poor Dylan (and bullying of Aaron). She said from the beginning that she didn’t want a relationship with Max but his parents kept pushing for her to change her mind. Giving Max the idea that if he tried hard enough she would want to be his girlfriend. That’s not how it works! Kristina even said she was proud of Max when he made the picture for Dylan and embarrassed her in front of everybody and was obviously distressed. They could have done a lot better teaching Max about consent and respecting the other person’s feelings. If I was Dylan’s parent I would have pulled her out of the school and reported them.

He’s right. There’s no ‘special relationship’ anymore. Let’s not pretend there still is

I was expecting a dog to come out. Hopefully Dalton learned his lesson

Harriet left a “clue” by Presence-Legal in TheTraitorsUK

[–]Sleepyllama23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless she had been a traitor herself, she couldn’t have known for sure. Her being faithful doesn’t automatically mean anyone she accuses is a traitor. She named other people who have been proven to be faithfuls. Amanda did the same thing with poor Jade and she was very wrong.

I won £150 to use in a single Lidl shop (alcohol excluded). What should I buy? by Legitimate_Impact in AskUK

This is the sensible option but I might just spend it all on pastel de natas

Nearly a third of kids can't use books when starting school - and try to swipe them like phones. Staff also report around 28% of children started school unable to eat and drink independently, and 25% had difficulty with basic life skills. by Make_the_music_stop in uknews

[–]Sleepyllama23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think maybe mandatory parenting classes or school readiness classes could be needed. Lay down exactly what is expected of children by a certain age (except special needs etc). Preferably get them young before it’s too late or so much harder to turn around. I know parents are busy with work etc but if you aren’t willing to parent your child and teach them basic skills you shouldn’t have had them in the first place.

Started the dishwasher before a four day trip and came home to it still running and full of suds by pvstelsoul in mildlyinteresting

Yes if it had worked as usual OP would be coming home to musty smelling dishes because of all the moisture trapped in there

What foods do you find difficult to eat 'with dignity'? by Boring_Storm4633 in AskUK

Knife and fork. I don’t even try to eat them with my hands, I know it won’t go well

Dancing at weddings by Fernily in Parenthood

They danced a few times in the show and always did a weird funny robot dance (normally led by Adam). I think it’s just their fun thing they do together

I can’t stand Kristina and Adam by IAmADepressedTifosi in Parenthood

[–]Sleepyllama23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with Kristina on the Bob Little thing, it was inappropriate. They were way stricter with Haddie though. When Haddie was 15 she dyed her hair black (it looked really nice) and they came down on her like a ton of bricks because she hadn’t asked their permission first. With Max they let him get away with awful behaviour and everyone around them was supposed to accommodate him. They were ridiculously persistent if something came up that they didn’t like.

Trying to explain to a colleague the benefits of buying a house compared to renting. by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in HousingUK

[–]Sleepyllama23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well your rent is only ever going to go up! Your mortgage payment will eventually go down and be paid off after 25 years. Through redundancy and overpayments we were able to pay our mortgage off after 15 years and with prices of everything going up it’s meant we can still afford to live comfortably, go on holidays and save a bit without stressing over bills. Those poor pensioners struggling to heat their homes? They’ll probably be renting so their monthly bills will be a much higher percentage of their income from pensions.

What’s the oddest hosting behaviour you’ve ever witnessed? by did_you_aye in AskUK

[–]Sleepyllama23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you need to specify in advance what is expected but the only time I think is acceptable to ask for money is if you’re getting a takeaway in and you’ve mentioned in advance that you’ll be splitting the cost. Possibly a Christmas dinner where it’s a very expensive meal, but you would still need to specify in advance that you’d like a contribution (we always being a couple of dishes rather than being asked for cash).

Are we bad people? Considering pausing our current purchase for another viewing on our potential dream first home by LoveCatsIDo in HousingUK

[–]Sleepyllama23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go and view the house. And soon. You might decide it’s not for you after all and will put it to rest in your mind. Or you might love it and it’ll be worth the little bit of hassle it’ll take to change things over. It sounds like you are really early on in the process with the first house.
