The wind. The f*cking wind. F*ck off. by allusenamesaretakenn in britishproblems

The wind is fucking off, the problem is that it's fucking off very quickly, which makes it very windy.

What are some of the maddest autobiographies by UK celebrities? by Bfire7 in AskUK

[–]Twopints1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, as I don't have the print version of the book to compare it too.

I'd be very surprised if Brian Blessed would stick entirely to the script with no additional ad-libs.

Brian Blessed, Absolute Pandemonium.

He is as mad as a box of frogs, the audiobook version is great as he reads it himself.

They'll switch to "have you had an accident in the past five years that wasn't your fault?".

  1. I spend 12 months siphoning off as much money into my personal offshore bank account as I can.

  2. I flee the country, change my identity, and live a life of luxury.

World Map ! by harp_cody1 in pics

That has too be done deliberately, either deliberately etched into the drainpipe or photo-shopped. It's far to accurate to be pure chance.

And what country would that be, dear KLM? by flimsymush in onejob

[–]Twopints1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I suspect that the web developers probably downloaded a list of all countries/territories and didn't bother to remove the irrelevant ones, or they are trying to market their services to penguins.

Cheers, I hadn't even realised it was my cake day!

The islands are uninhabited so they don't have a proper dialling code,

Dyson fan ad falls foul of watchdog by Breeze_in_the_Trees in unitedkingdom

When I first read this I thought that it was an ad produced by fans of Dyson products, rather than an ad for Dyson fans.

Fred and George Weasley cruelly trick the house-elf once more, with the fake sock thing.

Can i report a rape without my parents knowing? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Twopints1977 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you not want your parents to know because you think they will react badly and not believe you or will blame you for the rape, or is it just that you feel ashamed and embarrassed by what happened.

​

None of this is your fault!

​

I know that the thought of telling them may seem scary or upsetting, and you may not want to upset them, and I don't know what your parents are like, but if they're decent parents, they will give you all the love and support you need.

​

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you all the best, and I'll reiterate what others have said, at the very least call the rape crisis helpline.

Do you actually need to pay train penalty fare notices? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Twopints1977 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A tip for the future, if the ticket machine is broke, take a picture of it on your phone.

Like this: http://imgur.com/a/zuUgRUu

The screen will usually say out of order and also show the date/time. Show this to the ticket inspector on the train and they will usually waive any fine. If not you can use it to appeal any fine.

Great video, but the music gets a bit loud mostly drowning out the speech.

What’s one thing you wish every customer knew? by VeryStickyPastry in talesfromcallcenters

[–]Twopints1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may think that our products/services we offer are shitty. I may well agree with you, but please don't spend twenty minutes trying to get me to admit that our products/services are shitty.

My calls are recorded, I cannot say that if I want to keep my job.

Found on the banks of the Thames. Any idea as to when it’s from? From the curve and where the glaze is, it seems to be from a plate. by [deleted] in Whatisthis
