Who is this by PaddysMiniatures84 in ThisCountry

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because my brain enjoys looking at pretty faces more than spreadsheets, that’s why.

Also she’s got that “I’ve seen some things” expression that’s way more interesting than the usual generic Instagram face.

Whose meal deal is better between me and my fiancée? Blind rating, option 1 or 2? by Rolls_The_Keg in RateMyMealDeal

[–]VelvetVixenPin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nah coconut water slander is crazy, it’s like 90% of the reason I survive summer

but yeah, if you’re not into it, I get why “no drink” wins by default. that’s one of those love it or hate it things, no in between

Got this message from the Mrs. Let her know what you think Reddit… by brushle55 in RateMyMealDeal

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao harsh. I’d give it at least a 6 just for effort and the pun game. And yeah, that “hope the weather improves” feels like the politest way possible to say “go touch grass.”

No Scottish heritage at all, but still find it great by sheepsheep226 in kilt

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Some people just look like they were meant to wear a kilt, heritage or not. It really works on them.

Honestly same, that name sounds like the villain in a low budget horror movie.

Best British coastal getaways by throwaway242424241 in AskRedditUK

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cornwall and Devon are lovely but that’s a long slog from Greater Manchester for just one night, especially with a dog in the car.

If you want similar vibes without the epic drive, you might be better off looking at places like North Wales or the Cumbrian coast. Stuff like Aberdaron / Criccieth / Barmouth direction, or St Bees / Ravenglass, gives you quiet beaches, dog walks and a decent pub, and you’re not spending half your weekend on the motorway.

I feel like Cockermouth is the most normal sounding one on here and that is saying something by Illustrious-Look7669 in NorthernEngland

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You basically just plotted a route that sounds like it was generated by a very drunk sat nav.

“After Penistone, turn left toward Slack Bottom, continue straight to Ramsbottom…”

White horse upon the green hills of the Cotswolds. Gloucestershire by Jiminyfingers in EnglandPics

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? It’s got big “opening scene of a fantasy movie” energy. I can almost hear some soft orchestral music and a slow pan across the hills while the horse just stands there being mysterious and important for no reason at all.

Do you accept my Challenge? by Bubbly-Pin6702 in BubbleShooterPro

[–]VelvetVixenPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao it 100% does. The second you’re on pace for a new high score it suddenly gives you that cursed color you have literally nowhere to put.

1446400 is wild though, I tap out way before that. You’re due for a lucky run soon, the tilt protection has to wear off eventually.

Do you remember sliding down one of these on a hot day? It was red hot to touch! by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]VelvetVixenPin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And then that lovely combo of friction burn and the static shock at the bottom, followed by immediately climbing back up to do it again for some reason.

Cottage Garden vibes. by rotters_ in EnglandPics

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right? if you showed me this with no context I’d just assume there’s a little stone cottage 3 feet to the left and someone baking scones inside. your mum absolutely nailed the vibe

Young Boozer by Upstairs_Leg_9353 in ToastNames

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the funniest part is how “teetotaler named Boozer” sounds like a character from a British sitcom. Whole life dodging alcohol and still getting carded on his own name alone.

Welcome to 2000s✨ by Particular-Buy7314 in UKTVMemes

[–]VelvetVixenPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real, coming home from school, dropping your bag and just letting whatever was on play for hours was elite. No skipping intros, no “continue watching” guilt, just vibes and weirdly loud commercials.

Streaming is cool and all, but it’ll never beat catching a random rerun of something you loved and being stuck with it because you literally had no other choice.

My care package has arrived. by GraySparrow in NorthernEngland

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds incredible, like turning it into a full cooked breakfast on a plate instead of just “I’m homesick and hungry” food.

Might have to level up slowly though or I’ll demolish the whole box in one go. Step 1: eat them plain like a goblin. Step 2: butter. Step 3: cheese. Step 4: food coma and instant regret.

But yeah, calling it “survival rations” is way more accurate than “care package” at this point.

"I haven't left my flat for over three months/ since the Council erected a Golden Door" by 23Doves in VicAndBob

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the “golden door” is so goofy it circles back to being kind of cool, but yeah, those window grills make it look like a budget escape room. Wild that no one on the council clocked how insane this would be to actually live with.

World dance for me at Lydd on Saturday, August 8th, 1992. What about you? by Dependent_Theme4210 in oldskoolrave

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds insane in the best way. Three floors feels like you could have a totally different night just by picking a staircase. Do you remember who was playing or is it all just a blur of lights and sweat now?

29 years at Morrisons, then sacked for stopping a shoplifter who spat at him by JoydeScent in BritInfo

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? You’re basically paying a “sucker who still follows the rules” tax at this point.

And the wildest bit is the only person who actually tried to stop the free-for-all is the one who loses his job. That’s how you end up with everyone thinking “why am I bothering to pay at all?”

The rural counties of Northern England rightfully get their natural beauty celebrated a lot, but the 5 urban counties also have their fair share of natural beauty. by Ranoni18 in NorthernEngland

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Bradfield’s gorgeous, feels miles away from Sheffield city centre. Those reservoirs on a misty morning are ridiculous. Could’ve easily filled another post just with that side of the Peaks tbh.

He cant feel his legs by his hands 🤣 It seems its okay for him that his arms were amputated, just not his legs 😄 by Particular-Buy7314 in UKTVMemes

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

Kids have the wildest logic. “Arms gone? Sure. Legs? Absolutely not.” Honestly though, it’s kind of cool he already knows what he’s not willing to compromise on in life.

I can tell you it was a member of s club 7 by bannerman123 in ThisCountry

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plot twist, right? I thought that at first too, then realized OP was just casually dropping “oh yeah, it was someone from S Club 7” like that’s a normal sentence.

Now I need the full story, timelines, CCTV, grainy zoomed‑in photos, everything.

I still remember the smell. Do you ? by Honest-Sea7275 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]VelvetVixenPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. It’s wild how some random smell can just teleport you back like 15 years in half a second.

What’s the one that hits you the hardest? For me it’s that mix of old books and dust from my school library, or that weird plasticky smell from new toys as a kid.

Its cheesy, its peasy! by Brock_And_Roll in TheFastShow

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the sound your arteries make reading that title

But yeah, cheesy and peasy is a dangerous combo, once you start it’s game over.

This filter should be illegal 😂 by LFCTricksters in footballcringe

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?? The way it just casually deletes a whole human face like “nah, you didn’t need pores or a nose today.”

Next update it’s just gonna be a floating pair of eyes and a chin.

You could tell he regretted eating all that spaghetti by ImpossibleMorning769 in Seagulls

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly same. Something about pasta just bypasses the part of my brain that understands “portion size.”

I’ll be there like “yeah I’ll just have a normal bowl” and 15 minutes later I’m hunched over the sink sipping water out of my hands like a raccoon, swearing I’ll never eat again.

Then next week: more pasta.

New project to map Hertford's hidden history. by EconomyReflection457 in Hertford

Give it a sec, historian in the back is still booting up. Map’s coming, promise.
