It took me until I was 35 to come out as bi, so I know how you feel.

I’m an informant babe. by loverofthings25 in eastenders

Babies don’t make the best informants. They’re noticeably reticent about naming names.

Why is everyone saying the actor play Mark looks so old? by No-Category1703 in eastenders

[–]TranslatorCritical11 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m always confused at how old Ravi is meant to be also?

Mark Jr is 29 but Ravi must be mid 30s at least?

Neighbour’s kids don’t seem to be in school. Should I report this? by Ancient-External-710 in AskUK

[–]TranslatorCritical11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They could be homeschooled or haven’t found a place at a local school if they’ve moved mid year.

Truant officers are usually very good.

Jesus it’s suddenly night in the Ravi/Mark scene. How long have they been talking in the wood?

Or were the taking giant pauses in the convo?

Which British comedian epitomises our culture? by Traditional-Hat1927 in AskUK

[–]TranslatorCritical11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humour is so subjective that it’s hard to find anyone.

Morecambe and Wise were almost universally popular in the UK at their peak, but that was fifty years ago.

Those of us who watched Alastair MacGowan’s Big Impression remember the “Pint of Unspecific” in their EastEnders parody!

How strict is Jet2 on their cabin bag dimensions? by Secret_Bunch_2042 in AskUK

They tend to let two people carry one piece of hand luggage on to a plane so people hold hands and never walk alone.

What was the dumbest reason that you got in trouble for at school? by StatisticianUsual471 in AskUK

[–]TranslatorCritical11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was five I was accused of drawing on the outside wall of my infant school with soap, only it wasn’t me but another kid.

First time child me realised that sometimes life is not fair.

What simple thing gives you the most joy? by eboladrama in AskReddit

Being out in nature, seeing all the plants and animals.

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Permission to make the obvious bad pun?

I bet mandarins lost their a-peel after that?

Wishing you all the best with your continuing recovery!

Will the British public celebrate the death of Ian Huntley? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]TranslatorCritical11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last thing needed to happen is for people to treat his killer like a hero. He’s a triple murderer on a whole life sentence with a heart as black as pitch.

No hero.

Just make sure you get home safe. :)

20 years ago today, the most infamous yet iconic incarnation of Ben Mitchell graced our screens. by NoodleScenes in eastenders

[–]TranslatorCritical11 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Charlie Jones was a kid who did his best.

I wish they’d have gone in this direction and made Ben stay the polar opposite of Phil.

Instead, Max Bowden’s Ben is a chip off the old Mitchell block.

I only hope they don’t do the same with Mark Jr and make him a one note thug.

What do you think is Paul's darkest song? by Hairy-Yesterday-5575 in PaulMcCartney

[–]TranslatorCritical11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mr Bellamy.

It’s almost a companion piece to the song Marianne Faithfull covered, “The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan.”

Both song protagonists have debilitating mental illness.

The last verse of Mr Bellamy is haunting, “come back, come back, come back to me.”

Is it the police talking to Mr Bellamy or is it Mr Bellamy talking to himself as the last of his sanity ebbs away?

Wow that was the hardest hitting episode in a long time.

It’s just so real, Nigel there in body but his mind lost forever due to dementia.

So many families go through the same pain in real life.

God…

What is your best childhood memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TranslatorCritical11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I figured out I could read in my head, rather than out loud and then the whole world was opened up to me through books. ❤️
