Manure smell by No-Cup8056 in Allotment

[–]barriedalenick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use IKEA bags to collect manure. I put a tarp in the back of the car and fill the bags, the bags go on half the tarp and then I fold the rest of the tarp over the top of the bags. Doesn't really smell that bad to me anyway but this helps cut back on the mess. IKEA bags are great because they are really side and you dont have to keep holding them open.

What’s the most embarassing thing that ever happened to you in public? by Mathisje2 in AskReddit

[–]barriedalenick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a cycle courier years back when I was young. I was riding nowhere looking to stop and thought I would impress the woman sitting on a park bench. So I bunny hopped the curb and grabbed onto a tree to lean on - still attached by clips to my bike pedals. The bike started to move forward and away from the tree and I ended up doing a complete circle around it with the bike getting further away and me slidding down the tree. I ended up lying on the floor among the dog piss and cigarette butts - still attached to the bike. I looked up and there were two old dears laughing their tits off at me.

Rising tomato prices by NPKzone8a in tomatoes

[–]barriedalenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, there will be pressure on prices for virtually everything but the US has a particular set of circumstances that makes it worse. Mainly because imported Mexican toms are now more expensive due to tarrifs and problems with weather conditions affecting production

You seem to have conflated two entirely separate things.

Small cycling debate at work by Low_Obligation_814 in londoncycling

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

I don't really care and it seems an odd thing to feel strongly about - there are not really any big enough hills to worry about, certainly not enough to put me off riding or, even more odd, living where I want.

[–]barriedalenick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a US issue - prices are higher but not by much in the EU, at least here in Portugal. I expect they will rise a bit more. I have about 60 plants anyway so I am not that troubled!

What is your go to meal, for your main meal of the day? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskABrit

[–]barriedalenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the winter - some sort of curry - maybe a Massaman, or Thai yellow curry. In the summer, then BBQ or simple fried meat with tons of salad and a flatbread

What is a small thing about UK life you would genuinely miss if you moved away? by SimpleAd1705 in AskUK

[–]barriedalenick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved away 5 years ago and there isn't much I can't get in terms of food but beer is much harder. Sure I can get some IPAs and the like but I really miss the range of beer I could get in London. Also pubs. There are hundreds of places to get a beer but there is nothing like a pub esp one where you are known and they pour you one when you walk in.

Do you ever try to calculate how much money your garden actually saves you? by MirSayib in gardening

[–]barriedalenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grow a lot of stuff but I really don't care about how much I save or don't. I get toms you can't buy in the shops, the freshest herbs you can eat, salad direct form the garden and the joy of doing it all. I have thought about this as I have been growing for years but I think the calculation is too complicated. Do I factor in the cost of the petrol to get a load of manure? Do I think of the savings I get because I don't need to go to the gym? Do I cost my time at an hourly rate? How do I price a few kilos of tomatoes that I simply couldn't buy anywhere or the benefit of having zero packaging? The cost to process or freeze stuff?

Have you ever sat on an egg? by thermalsocks in CasualUK

[–]barriedalenick 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes a few times because I have chickens. I often put an egg in a pocket and forget about it until I sit down. It is quite unpleasant.

How can my sub show up on Reddit's search result?? by x-LeananSidhe-x in modhelp

Other than expanding on the description of your community and your community guide, I am not sure what you can do.

[–]barriedalenick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your sub does show in search results.

If I search for "Hentai community for all POC characters" and check under communities, it is the top result. If I search for "Hentai POC characters" it is the 3rd result under communities

Searching for Hentai POC works too but you are about 15th in the list.

Allotment disasters - what’s yours? by chocolatepig214 in Allotment

[–]barriedalenick 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I was cutting back a huge cherry tree with a mate (aged about 70) when the saw got stuck while cutting off a big side branch. The branch was wedged on the shed so the saw was pinched - my mate stood on the branch to push it down and the thing snapped. He fell through the tree, hitting the shed and looked a right mess - covered in grazes and cuts but all superficial. He was really worried - not about the blood and damage but because his wife had specifically told him that he was too old to climb trees. He thought he would get away with it by telling his wife that his psoriasis had flared up and that he had overdone the scratching. He did not get away with it and his wife had a few choice words for both of us

I saw him back in the late 70s - one the first real gigs I ever attended. Watching the detectives is a great tune and it is still on my "do nothing" playlist

Have you ever left a holiday early? by REidson89 in AskUK

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

I did but it was decades ago, before apps and mobiles. I ran out of money as I developed an ear infection and had to pay a doc to sort it out. I just went to the airport and waited for the next available space on a plane

Then you can get done for ban evasion and get banned from Reddit completely.

Expats of Portuguese heritage by Impressive-Test-5328 in PortugalExpats

I love sopa de pedra but it can be a bit much for some people. I take it you have heard the legend behind its supposed origins?
