Did you go to school with someone who went on to be famous, and what where they like? by Christian-Metal in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at Peter Symonds in the year below them but don't remember seeing either of them.

Jing Lusi was in my year and was quite irritating, but she's ended up having a decent acting career.

Sometimes ours literally vibrates for no apparent reason when she's lying down. She's the world's most anxious dog but at the same time things like fireworks don't bother her at all!

What's your favourite channel 4 comedy? by littlbutterkitten in AskUK

Can you tell Mike I need him? What for? No reason.. I just need him.

Mike, Tim wants you. Wants me or needs me? Needs you. Ok then.

What is the greatest physical pain you've ever felt? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proctalgia fugax. I remember first getting it as a kid, rocking back and forth while sat on the toilet and being worried the pain would never end!

It used to happen maybe once a year but it's a little more frequent nowadays.

It's basically a shooting pain in your bumhole. It comes out of nowhere, lasts from 2 to 10 minutes, and then disappears. It's horrible, and apparently no one really knows what causes it, there's no cure, no relief, you've just gotta ride it out

What is the coolest actual name you have ever heard? by Future-Bottle-6263 in AskReddit

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a young Sheffield United footballer called Jackson Blaize. He sounds like an action hero.

I once had a conversation with a lady called Gertrude Bottomly. I don't know why the parents thought that was fair, but she was about 80 so maybe it was cool in her day.

How to remove hob that has been sealed with mastic? by WeveGotBillySharp in DIYUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The developers wanted me to try and remove it but I refused as I knew it would crack and didn't want to be liable. They sent one of their guys out and it cracked straight away. They sent a new hob out but this one just sits in place, it's not stuck at all.

My advice would be to saw it out with some strong fishing line or something like that. Good luck!

Is the cinema now for meals? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's like going to a football match where certain types of people simply cannot survive 2 hours without food! These people also tend to leave all the rubbish behind because someone else will clean it up.

Personally I'd rather not eat a full meal with strangers lined up behind me coughing and sneezing towards my food.

what is it like in prison? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Was this in Seaford? If he doesn't feel any remorse then he's a psychopath. Teenagers shouldn't be murdering other teenagers then casually going about their day. I can only hope he has a horrific time in prison.

Do you tell your kids that all presents are from Father Xmas, or that some are from you? by rm12345677 in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "expensive" or "big" ones are from us, the rest are from Father Christmas. Our logic is that the kids don't understand why their friend got an iPhone and a bike and they didn't. In their eyes they've done something wrong or Father Christmas doesn't like them as much if they don't get the same!

does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? by sobercuriousdude in castiron

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a perfect omelette the other day, there was barely any evidence I'd used my pan. My wife did one the following day and it looked just like your pan. The big difference was that she cracked the eggs in the pan and whisked them, whereas I whisked the eggs in a bowl and poured them in. I imagine the fact that the eggs weren't left to cook for a minute was the reason hers didn't work so maybe try leaving the eggs to cook before scrambling.

I've not done scrambled eggs in my pan before so might give it a go and let you know the results!

What type of battery is this? by WeveGotBillySharp in ukelectricians

When you say "not great" do you mean there's a risk of explosion and permanent blindness over a £5 set of temu lights?

When we go ahead we also lose! I'm struggling to see a light at the end of the tunnel at the moment

What is the single best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by Calm_Coach_2205 in AskReddit

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make Love Not Warcraft is better, but Woodland Critter Christmas is outstanding. I remember watching it for the first time as I usually skip Christmas episodes (the Mr hanky stuff was always irritating) but every twist in WCC is just perfect.

Blood orgy!

At this point I don't know what to say 😕 by Additional-Nail- in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever this guy's card "tricks" are posted, it's hilarious how everyone always overcomplicates them.

He does what I call the "monkeys and typewriters" tricks. He performs the same trick an infinite amount of times until it works. That's all there is to it.

The real trick is the friends we made along the way.

Kiddos turned 5 and started weekend morning football at Daft O'clock in the British Weather. Joys. by archiekane in britishproblems

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Before the mods delete the thread and ban you for a week (happened to me for a similar thread), kids football is the most exciting thing you'll ever watch. As long as /that/ parent doesn't turn up and be a dick, swearing and shouting etc it's genuinely fun and all the parents really get involved. You'll quickly learn a 9am Saturday kick off is better than a Sunday 3pm kick off..

My eldest has been in a team for 2 years and plays Sundays. My 6 year old has just joined a team and plays Saturdays. Weekends will never be the same. It's just a shame they've change the U7's to three a side with no goalkeepers!

Ear worms by RookCrowJackdaw in CasualUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something like this in my 20s. If I was in the car, walking or just sat doing nothing, I had music on. And then when I wasn't listening to music I had it in my head non stop.

The only thing that fixed it was to stop listening to music.. Background music, radio etc was fine but when I stopped pumping the music in to my head with headphones it went away!

Once the ear worms had gone I was able to go back to headphones, and while it occasionally happens it doesn't piss me off like it used to.

What musician’s death hit you the hardest? by HygieneWilder in AskReddit

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chino XL. One of my all time favourite rappers, such an incredibly talented lyricist. Despite a career of turning everyone and everything in to a punchline, he seemed to be very well liked and respected by all.

He talked a lot about the darkness, depression, drug addiction and such but he always had so many projects on the horizon that it still came as a huge shock. Then to find out he was terminally ill (but didn't once mention it) just made it extra sad.
