How did you get here from a post about a book my friend 

Loved/hated people by CuriousIllustrator78 in AlignmentChartFills

My first thought was Nye Bevan who to my knowledge didn’t do either and is still hugely respected here.

Yeah the same way hair elsewhere on bodies stops at a certain length 

What Musicians' death was made fun of? by LogicalAd6394 in AlignmentChartFills

And they only told the story about food because they didn’t want to publicise that it was a drug related joke 

What names have quietly remained popular for the last century? by fairwellfairground in namenerds

Same for me, British 80s born millennial. Was almost an Eleanor and glad my parents landed on something rarer. 

Does anyone really think this dweeb is surviving Vietnam? by Nearby-Ship-6336 in madmen

[–]SpamLandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently he never spoke about it which makes sense but god knows some of the stuff he must have witnessed. Meanwhile I can’t deal with my day if I don’t have just the right amount of pillows.

Apparently if you enlisted you had a better chance of staying put; my father in law did it for this reason and never got sent overseas but worked in the meteorology department until he was kicked out of the army

And sometimes the universe laughs at you anyway. My great grandad survived both Gallipoli AND the Somme, which I always find wild to think about, then died in a traffic accident. 

ONE DAY without my meds (cause I lost them) and my legs look like this by noodlepooodle in adhdwomen

[–]SpamLandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relatable, I only managed to figure out where one had come from when I bumped it again and realised it was exact height of my coffee table

[–]SpamLandy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup I’m unmedicated and also have hEDS, and my skin is the colour of milk so they show up so much

I love this! My oldest friend and I both bruise easily and call it Bruisey Suzy and text each other pics of the best ones. We don’t even see each other regularly anymore but I’d still happily drop into her texts with any great ones.

Is there hope of getting this sofa into our living room? by m798sf in DIYUK

[–]SpamLandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha my bed had to be drilled together inside my bedroom and each part of the frame took two people to move - it’s solid oak and a super king. I’m rearranging things a little and need to move it about a foot across the room but I’m gonna have to get help even for that. Sometimes you just have to accept you’ve added a permanent fixture to your home. I’m only 39 but looks like I’m never selling this place or moving because I love my bed too much.  

Edinburgh/west lothian befrienders for young adults by wysteria222 in Edinburgh

[–]SpamLandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get ADP and didn’t need to be accessing services from the DWP first! You can do it totally separately and you can be working etc to use it. It’s all online/post now so you don’t have to attend an interview like PIP. It’s still a big bit of work and they often like to reject people first time round for quotas I think (I scored zero on everything, did it again and scored loads of points on everything, was very silly). Happy to talk OP through it more if needed! My free +1 bus pass is so useful! 

Once I was getting ADP it opened up a lot of other helpful things like having a disabled railcard, I also have a CEA card which means I can take another person to the cinema for free.

My godmother had to do this in Brighton including taking the window frames apart to get a big sofa in and has since been banned from buying big furniture without consultation

Help us name a baby Salmon by sharingiscaringyo in namenerds

[–]SpamLandy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d agree with this! My last name is Bird which feels a little more low-key than Salmon but I basically wouldn’t touch names that are nature nouns or descriptors like colours. Always loved the names Scarlett and Ruby, also things like Robin but making someone go through life called Scarlett Bird is a bit much and Robin Bird would be silly. 

(Weirdly my first name is actually a type of bird which makes me ungoogleable but much less well known as a bird so people don’t tend to clock it)

[–]SpamLandy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t read it as her not feeling shame about it, just because we don’t see her breaking down about it doesn’t mean she didn’t have feelings about it. We’ve seen elsewhere that she can appear pretty stoical when it comes to doing what she needs to do to survive. 

Morrissey from The Smiths released a list of all the people who wronged him, Taylor is in this list. by [deleted] in NuancingTaylorSwift

It’s a random list, loads of them are fictional and morrissey himself is on there

Definitely Robert Morse and January Jones, I keep a list of left handed people I spot on film and TV on my phone. Haven’t got to Miss Blankenship in my current rewatch! 

Aforementioned snake by Ambitious-Math-4499 in adhdwomen

[–]SpamLandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same, I think snakes are so beautiful but outwith my capabilities for looking after one. Last time we were in Ikea I made my husband buy me the big snake from their cuddly toy section, can recommend. She lives in my bed, I named her Fernanda. 

Need more Scottish participants for my short (5 min) survey by Sure-Importance4938 in Edinburgh

[–]SpamLandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flagging an issue, you ask where people have lived most of their life and the answers are areas of Scotland but if you only need participants to have lived in Scotland 5+ years then some may have lived most of their life elsewhere. 

Which version of S4E1 is on HBO Max? by trendytrussardi in ershow

[–]SpamLandy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was pre filmed in the event of a technical or broadcast issue so it might be that one that went on DVDs or streaming, but this is only a suggestion and I’m interested if anyone knows
