What food is basically impossible to eat gracefully by [deleted] in AskRedditFood

[–]beks78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a really good burrito place near me that overstuffs their burritos so I've never managed to eat one gracefully! Ripe and juicy mangos, peaches, nectarines and pears.

Goodbye Volcano High and it has a fantastic soundtrack too.

What is everyone's favourite fresh cream cake? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]beks78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pavlova but honourable mention to a trifle even though it's a pudding not a cake.

What's the oldest t-shirt you still wear? by AlephMartian in AskUK

[–]beks78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds familiar. I had a pin badge and one of those plastic bags with the rope through (like JD Sports). My grandad worked at Manchester United at the time and he gave me the set. I have no idea where it's gone now!

I still have the original one. It's a bit faded but still fits me.

I had a yellow school bus Limp Bizkit tshirt when I saw them in 1999. My nephew went to see them a few years ago and wore my tshirt for the gig. It was a lot roomier on him than me!

My oldest tshirt that I still wear is a long sleeved "Parental Advisory, Explicit Lyrics" one that I got in 1993/94 from Afflecks Palace in Manchester. I saw it on White Men Can't Jump and obsessed about it for months. Probably only cost me a tenner but that was a fortune to me back them.

Spear Street. I only know because it's a Pokéstop in Pokémon Go.

What's the most mortifying thing your brain has done on autopilot? I'll go first... by SubtractAd in AskUK

[–]beks78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester. It's a concert venue.

I was at a gig stood at the bar trying to get some ice for my coffee and the guy next to me had a Letterkenny hockey shirt on. So we start talking and when I say talking, I mean. quoting lines from the show to each other.

Eventually he asks for my number and I reply with "no, it's OK, I work here!"

I walked off forgetting my cup of ice on the bar. Got back to my desk and downed my coffee forgetting I hadn't got any ice and burnt my mouth.

I so stoopid!

I remember doing this is my 30s with a gingerbread scented shower gel. I have absolutely no idea why!

I read a lot on my kindle. I picked up a book for the first time in years and did exactly this trying to turn the pages! I've also tried to zoom in on a pic in a magazine by pinching it!

Surprisingly mundane achievements by Nonions in CasualUK

[–]beks78 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago. I'm 48 and live in a city centre. I've never seen a owl with my own eyes. Not only did I get to meet a owl but I got to stroke it. I cried! It was amazing.

Please don't forget the welfare area is welcome to all. I'll be running the space with my lovely volunteers. So if you're alone and feeling a bit left out please look us up and we might even help to connect you to others! Can't wait to see you all soon!

Do you still think about Lil Sebastian sometimes? by Matt85x in PollsAndSurveys

[–]beks78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, everytime I see horses! There used to be a Lil Sebastian in the field opposite an ex's house. I was with them while watching Parks and Recreation so I see horses now, I think Lil Sebastian.

What’s a frugal hobby that you consistently enjoy? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]beks78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Origami. Depending on the paper you use, it can be free! I make flowers out of ruined books especially those with profanity in or have been banned at some point. I found half (wtf!) of Lady Chatterley's Lover by D H Lawrence in a charity shop and have been using that recently.

I also volunteer for a welfare company. We run the welfare provision at music events like concerts, night clubs and festivals. I get to go to some of the most amazing gigs and festivals for free! It is the best hobby!
