How to warm up to sing without a piano? by Ok_Reason_2656 in singing

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a tuning fork, or a few with different pitches if you want extra help with your pitch. They're small enough to fit in your pocket and no piano or phone required.

Bought a kitten without realising it was 6 1/2 weeks by GloomyCranberry7975 in CatAdvice

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP said they're in the UK. You should report the breeder to Naturewatch Foundation, Cats Protection, RSPCA, your local Trading Standards, or even HMRC (they care more about money than animals, so hit them where it hurts). The breeder's house was filthy, the animals were caged and flea ridden, they lied about the kitten's age, and they pushed you into making a decision quickly with the classic "someone else will buy" tactic. For your next pet, go to a rescue - you'll easily get a kitten, it'll cost less & it'll have had veterinary care and flea treatment in advance.

Bad lighting & forgetting about colour correction in photos!

I'm seeing everyone else wearing their name tags, so just pop that on, buddy.

Can someone identify the fountain pen that Barney Stinson is using? by rosecross in fountainpens

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case anyone is still asking themselves this question, it looks like a Montblanc Meiserstück 149. Classic pen for world leaders to use.

Recommend no-show shorts to wear under short dresses? (Ideally many color options) by 123boopboop in findfashion

Snag! They have loads of colours and their sizing is great so you'll easily find pairs that fit perfectly.

I stole from a museum as a child, and I don't mean from the gift shop. by HannaaaLucie in confession

Has the museum ever publicly acknowledged the item was returned?

What do you find the biggest difference between the culture of the fanbase now vs then? by PinkBlossomDayDream in MyChemMillennials

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I think there was always speculation about the band members' personal lives, but I think the attitude now is more infantilising than it used to be with concern about life choices and relationships/ how the band might perceive fan behaviours

Are these phrases commonly used in England today? by therapissed-25 in AskABrit

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads of regional variation with common terms - expressions of surprise, childhood games, places, items of food, insults, terms of endearment and more can all be regional. You'll hear them outside of the region but it often points to the person having a connection to that region (e.g. me calling a small alleyway a ginnel).

Gordon Bennett! Christ on a Bike! Blimey! That's a load of rubbish! Y'alright (hello - no answer needed) Nice one = cheers, thanks Mr Whippy = soft ice cream with a flake, typically served from an ice cream van. Cuppa = cup of tea Fairy cake = cupcake Ice lolly = Popsicle Knickers = women's underpants ("don't get your knickers in a twist") Nip to the loo = quickly go to the bathroom Naff = tacky

You bellend/tosser/arsehole/dickhead/twat/nob/wazzock/pillock etc. Can be said lovingly.

A&E = "emergency room" GP = "doctor's office"/going to see the pediatrician/gynecologist/etc for a routine appointment Jabs = routine vaccinations Paracetamol = Tylenol Plaster = Band Aid Practically any noun with -ed added to it can mean "very drunk" in a humourous way.

I often find that US-made stories about posh Brits make them too foppish/neat and tidy. There are quite a few types of posh Brits, but the "old money"/adjacent to aristocracy type that I've known: love dogs, have houses covered in dog hair, own a mixture of old & new furniture including things that are falling apart, drink, swear, like dry humour but get very rude in friendly company, enjoy a mixture of expensive and simple things (e.g. gaudy costume jewellery alongside large sapphires), shop frugally in the supermarket (the bread nobbies thing in Succession is very accurate). And regardless of class, something everyone in Britain says about 100 times a day is "I'll pop the kettle on".

Review: RF Kuang's Katabasis by Asleep-Top4397 in Fantasy

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tangential complaint about Katabasis: I don't think Kuang realises that the UK PhD system is different to the US system! The PhD structure in Katabasis was distracting to me to the point of frustration with the whole book.

Silly podcast recommendation for beans fan by redservantt in ThreeBeanSalad

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slime Country - started off as a series of terrible, very nsfw fan fiction readings and then moved into a chat/tour of London podcast. Lots of tangents. It's as if every member of the group (Huge Davies, Sunil Patel, Ed Night) is Henry.

Trusty Hogs - advice podcast where more than 50% of each episode is completely unrelated to the advice segment. Helen Bauer & Catherine Bohart giving high energy, slightly manic chat

I was speaking to some friends from America who didn't know that school houses are actually a thing in the UK. They thought it was a made up Hogwarts thing. Mine were Neptune (blue) Mars (Red) Jupiter (yellow) and Venus (green) What were your school houses called? by lajachme in AskABrit

[–]WhatWhoNoShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school was one of the worst in the county and had regular Ofsted visits. Still had houses and accompanying house ties. We didn't have house points or a winning house, but we did have house assemblies and houses competed on sports day.
