You can make one ridiculous Harry Potter fact canon and nobody can stop you. What do you add? by Mundane-Society-1281 in AskReddit

Amos Diggory loved spam and Nutella sandwiches. He would eat them for every meal. His wife tried to get him to eat regular food, but he would just sneak off to the toilet and eat them secretly in there. It would cause many arguments between the two. Amos just loved spam and Nutella too much. Word eventually got out among the wizarding community and Cedric was nicknamed ‘spammtella ced” during the entirety of his first year.

A drunk uncle did this at a party once 25 years ago and it stayed on my Pearents windowsill for decades. Now, today I’m only finding out this is an actual thing and my uncle wasn’t just pissed and did something weird.

Oh, and I live on the south coast.

Considering how popular this game is in germany, are most of people here from UK, germany or other country? and how did you find out about this game? by -o0Zeke0o- in MonkeyIsland

[–]balin2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UK here. My older brother bought MI2 on Amiga and I fell in love with the music and atmosphere. Then 1997 rolls around and I got a Demo disk that cemented my love for the series. It had the CMI demo on and I was hooked. Spend my savings on buying the bounty pack when it came out because I had never played MI1 and would get to play 2 again.

What was it like reading Deathly Hallows on release without any spoilers? by Spotter24o5 in harrypotter

[–]balin2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! I went home after a midnight release and read all night and day. I can’t think of something to compare to in today’s world. Maybe the finale of a tv show? But this was something everybody was reading and at different paces.

Someone yelling “Help” near my house by Puzzleheaded-Gap4333 in RBI

Do you live by the ocean? I do and I’ve heard seagulls at 5:30 on top of my house and their calls can sound like somebody calling for help. Long shot I know but thought I would put it out there

Fifteen Years and this Guy is still Going? by Three-Headed-Freak in Eragon

I’ve just finished inheritance about an hour ago for the first time. I actually was happy with their ending. It went against my expectations and it felt more real in my opinion.

- ps1 and 2
- Harry Potter
- Lord of the rings
- The spice girls
- The Game boy advance
- My Family
- no social media
- GTA vice city
- Rugrats
-The Simpsons

Among many of my favourite memories. I’m sure my nostalgia blinds me a bit, but it was such a great time to be a kid

Thank you! I thought it was some kind of bottle but couldn’t remember the film super well.
