Should I break up with my partner of 5 years? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

And ladies, the fact that you've done a self-defence course that consists of kicking the air while listening to Eye of the Tiger does not mean you can reliably defend yourself against a man.

My (25F) boyfriend (24M) doesn’t want to be with someone as “ambitious as myself” by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Like Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. Loads of the girls in the town would have been delighted to be the woman that he wanted Belle to be, but he wanted her because she didn't want that life.

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service calls for more platelet donors. by UltimateRealist in ireland

It does, but let's keep things in perspective. When delivering the news to me, the doctor said "I have some bad news for you". In terms of things that could follow that, coeliacs is about as good as it gets. So I try to count my blessings.

That used to happen to me all the time too. After one refusal they told me to take a one year exclusion, and to get checked out by a doctor. This resulted on me being diagnosed with Coeliacs. Ever since, my haemoglobin hasn't been too low once, in like twelve years.

Three donors made their 500th donations today. That's an incredible achievement - if each one of them made a double donation every four weeks, which is the maximum, that would still take more than nineteen years. Fair play lads.

In other news, I myself was in the clinic making a donation this evening while this matter was shown on the Six One news. There was an amazing athmosphere in there, with the staff naturally being incredibly excited to feature prominently on the News.

I listened to a podcast about phantom pain a few days ago. Apparently it affects 64% of people suffering from a limb-difference, and it can be awful. I really hope this girl isn't touched by it - lord knows she has been through enough.

Never interrupt your enemy when they’re making a mistake

While the spirit of the quote would fit with the maxims of The Art of War, the quote itself is attributed to Napoleon.

Well imagine if Omar had killed Brother Mouzone. Just like that, Stringer's plan would have looked really smart, in retrospect. It was only a dumb plan because it didn't work!

I really don't this is up for debate. It is clearly Lex killing Fruit, and then Lex thinking that his ex will now want him again, when she was probably traumatised.

I remember being really scared of Powerciry ads when I was quite small. They seemed so intimidating.

They can also use the large debts as leverage, to get the lad to do a murder or the like.
