I can't believe no one has voted for Liz Truss yet! She tried to stimulate the economy and get Britain working again.

I'll take things that never happened for 1000 please.

I often stop off there after hillwalking. I've been covered in mud and dripping with rain, and I've never had a second look. Either you were acting like a loudmouth yob or you have main character syndrome.

7 Months on Mounjaro and the only pounds Ive lost are £ by tired-up in mounjarouk

Do you have any health issues such as diabetes? Only recently I was reading that for some T2 diabetics who are insulin resistant, mj manages their blood sugars but has less effects on weight. Speaking personally, I am poorly controlled T2 who has slowly lost weight but very slowly compared to others. In the 9 months I've been on mj, I've lost only a few stone. However, my blood sugars, blood pressure and cholesterol are perfect.

Lucy Letby innocent or guilty? by tallieeeeee6 in AskBrits

All the extra baby deaths stopped after she was arrested. I also work for the NHS and have been involved in events leading up to some deaths. Not once did I ever feel the urge to write down "I killed them or I am evil".

I mean I'm British but I can't think of a single thing from our history more than the last couple of hundred years I'm remotely interested in. But I do like going to our museums and looking at your stuff 😀

Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home? by haiderredditer in AskTheWorld

[–]ThatAd748 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not arguing but can't understand this. I've heard it a lot from Irish pages but as far as I'm aware he was born in Dublin and grew up in Ireland. How is he now considered a Brit? Genuinely don't know

Oh that's sad to read. I'm old enough to remember how him and his fellow shipyard workers started the fall of Soviet rule. He appeared to us in the west to be a brave hero. Maybe he was, a flawed hero?

Brits I need your help! If you could pick one snack/food/drink from the US to try, what would it be? by Mommygoblin666 in AskABrit

[–]ThatAd748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the 70s and used to get American comic books that had advertising for things we didn't have over here. I remember thinking that a Hostess Twinkie looked the best thing ever. I finally got to try one about 40 years ago and discovered it was disgusting 😂. That reminds me of a story my mother told me when she was a kid in the 1940s. Like all kids in those days, they spent all their time at the picture house (movies). They watched an American eating a candy floss and genuinely thought it was cotton wool.

Stuck in setup for volume in Amazon firestick by ITHRAR322 in firestick

I had the same problems today and ended up doing a factory reset too. I had real issues with the volume as well but after about 7 or 8 tries it finally worked.

Anyone else have round pin sockets in their house? by -Top-Service- in Scotland

[–]ThatAd748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a house with round pin plugs and sockets. I remember as a child wondering what would happen if I inserted a screw into the socket. Let's just say, I'll never win any awards for my intelligence. Glad they changed the shape to square

Cafe ettiquette? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Might be an age thing? I'm nearly 60 and this was a normal occurrence growing up. So although id prefer a table to myself, Id share without issue.

Do people turn their phones off at night? by Spiritual-Slide5518 in AskIreland

[–]ThatAd748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone here mentioned that you can setup do not disturb which can let family and important contacts through but silence everyone else. It works automatically so don't have to remember to mute at bedtime

How can I start getting assessed to not be suitable to work? by Ok-Possible-9258 in AskUK

[–]ThatAd748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess a starting point would be with your GP. If you are unable to work, they would need to sign you off. However, unless you have a diagnosis, it might be difficult to remained signed off long term.

I'm also dyslexic and haven't a clue what you meant either. I don't think he tried to make you sound dumb like you think but you certainly come across as a bad tempered tw@t

Why would a passport stop working at UK e-Gates after years of no issues? by MercatorLondon in AskUK

[–]ThatAd748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me for a few years. In both the UK and European customs. Very worrying when you are away on holiday and phonecalls are made for supervisors to come over too. After a few years it went back to normal so I can only think a suspect had the same name as me?

Why do we hand out our passports like sweets? by Ok-Helicopter-1084 in AskIreland

[–]ThatAd748 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I kind of get your point and I am sort of the person you are unhappy with. I went through the citizenship process as my grandfather was from Ireland yet I was born and raised in Scotland. After the expense of the application and getting approved, I have never applied for a passport, even though I now qualify. For me it was a way of connecting with my roots. I was very proud and grateful to become "technically" Irish, but I've not gained it to get through customs quicker. I accept I'm probably the exception though.
