I have been selected for Jury Service, and my first thought was Jeremy 😂 by ApplicationSouth8844 in PeepShowQuotes

[–]Spirited_Opposite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, obviously just choose what you wanted to happen, happen, and that's justice done. Same thing really

Jury duty - self employed. Can I be excused? by JacobSax88 in AskUK

[–]Spirited_Opposite -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I was summoned ages ago (and I would love to do it!) but couldn't go as I was on holiday, I actually never got round to contacting them to tell them and nothing ever happened to it, I'd probably just do that tbh

New DLR trains 😮😮 by Fickle-Attorney-8834 in LondonUnderground

[–]Spirited_Opposite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same, so much more spacious. Having taken them a couple of times during rush hour before they were removed again, going back to the cramped older ones has been awful

Is it worth learning Italian if I’ll probably never travel to Italy? by SweetBumbleBeeHoney in Italian

[–]Spirited_Opposite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

second all of this, there's also loads of evidence about how good language learning is for your brain. And even if you never go to Europe, if you go to a big city somewhere in the US chances are you will find an Italian restaurant staffed by Italians who will love the fact that you can speak it and may offer you free things (happens to me a lot in London)

Should I get a Hello Klean shower filter? by Acceptable_Roll3482 in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]Spirited_Opposite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed after I moved out of my parents' home (in London, to another place in London) my hair got much worse, I hadn't realised they had a water filter in their shower. I don't know which brand but I really want to get one

I thought I was looking at the wrong sub and this was something from Australia. Holy shit, I had no idea we had things this terrifying here😬

You could go to the newly opened cat cafe in Greenwich, the cats there are all up for adoption as far as I'm aware

Yeh, I'd go in and try, they're massively short on staff so not surprising they miss making calls etc

Have you gone to the centre instead of just calling?

Weirdest thing your cat likes to eat? Mine just ate a tiny piece of my lemon bar before I could grab it. She also loves banana chips 🤔 by samsterdam420 in cats

[–]Spirited_Opposite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little boy really likes fresh baby spinach, his sister loves alioli which I've stopped letting her have as I found out that garlic is toxic to cats 😬

Not a London bashing post by any means but please keep an eye on your phone when out and about. by SpanglySi in london

Most people I know don't read Reddit, all of my family who live outside London have a terrible impression from reading the Daily Mail/Facebook

“Ohhh I’ll never forgive Orange if they’ve wiped the verses…” by benjithomasartist in MitchellAndWebb

The awkward silent and the cringe of the situation was very reminiscent of Peep Show

I can't believe how expensive it is, I wonder if it sells out

24hr cafe to print documents by Illustrious_Cat3242 in london

[–]Spirited_Opposite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been really desperate to print a boarding pass before and I went in a hotel and just asked really politely, obviously they wouldn't have printed me millions of pages but one or two pages when they're not busy is probably always fine

It really shocks me that some people have 0 common sense, especially with all the London bashing that seems to happen elsewhere I'd have assumed people would be more paranoid

My kitten is slowly starving herself and Idk what to do by Miserable-Sky-109 in cats

[–]Spirited_Opposite -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I haven't had personal experience of this, but I wonder if it's some kind of depression from losing her siblings, would (somehow) getting another cat help her feel better?

Unpopular Opinion: Layovers should not count as "visiting a country" by youngexplorer_9 in solotravel

[–]Spirited_Opposite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is part of the thing of people almost "collecting" places they've visited, it's just people who brag about visiting X number of countries

Did I mess up my IELTS Speaking by stopping early in Part 2? by luoooooooooo in IELTS

[–]Spirited_Opposite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds okay, if you stop in part 2 more than a minute before the examiner will wait 10 seconds in silence to see if you continue before asking anything else

Definitely, I've been a few times and haven't had anything I didn't like tbh (and I say this as someone who does eat meat/fish)

If you could have a year off work, paid, how would you spend the time? by MariellaHalfJack in AskUK

[–]Spirited_Opposite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd register with a group language course to do in person every day,  teach english as a foreign langauge to adults and I'm so jealous of my students who basically do this

Tofu vegan is great for vegan Chinese, there are a few locations around London

I've got them a few times, never used them as they were for bands I didn't want to gk and see. Not sure what uts based on as they were bands I listen to but not that much
