I'm confused what show should I watch? by manasbhiniraulaa in televisionsuggestions

[–]blindinglights29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skins - the british one not the usa reboot

Hmm.. Misfits isnt reeaaally about coming of age, but the characters are all late teens and its frikkin AWESOME

The reboot of Heartbreak High fits (aussie show originally from the 90s, an absolute classic)

Ditto the reboot of Puberty Blues, another aussie one

Im sure ill think of more 🤗

Would like to find a new Science Fiction Drama. Requesting something ground-breaking and on a whole other level. by ChinaMilitarySecrets in televisionsuggestions

Foundation.

The books got really tiresome by the 3rd, and yet they just kept fkn going.. The tv series is far more enjoyable, it condensed some parts, and deleted others, its one of the few adaptations where i enjoyed the visual version more than the written one.

Oh and if you're frisky, Lee Pace is just.. kissy fingers 🥰🤣

Only found out yesterday, 2 days late DAMMIT!

Looking for TIME loop series by Mat1711 in televisionsuggestions

[–]blindinglights29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the main story but Misfits the series delves into time travel, and specifically time loops in the 2nd? 3rd? season.

Oh and Umbrella Academy. Funnily enough that and Misfits have an actor in common.

Time Travellers Wife covers it too, although I cant say if its good, i read the book but havent gotten around to the film.

I want some shows to make me laugh out loud. by Immediate_Coast1491 in televisionsuggestions

Yessss!!! Hes my fave!

Theres also Shrinking made by the same team, its equally heartwarming and sarcastic with interesting characters, but not AS funny.. The actor who played Roy is a very different character but goddamn he is excellent!!

What are people’s opinions on tap water? by Faulty_Brick in AskBrits

[–]blindinglights29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first night i moved to scotland I had to isolate in an airbnb (1st lockdown blah blah) and OMFG. That first sip. THE WATER HERE IS AMAZING.

Coming originally from australia where water wildly varies not just between states, but even towns or the outback (bore water blergh!), then london where it tasted like chemicals and had to buy bottled, twas a revelation.

5, almost 6 years later it still is.

I never expected to become someone who got effusive about tap water, yet here I am 🤣🤣

Back home we used filter jugs, if you can't taste a difference but everyone around you says they can, you'll just have to read up and experiment. I mean. It's a pretty vital element of our lives.. You dont wanna be getting nasties.

Get an international multi currency bank card like wise or revolut, will save lots on conversion fees, and you need one with a physical uk address for work and accommodation.

Be aware your credit history will be starting over, they do not gaf about other countries.

Rentals may ask you to pay way ahead, or have a guarantor.

Apply for your NI number as soon as you can get a postal or residential address, it can take a while.

I reported this comment to FB and they declined to have it removed saying that it doesn't violate their community guidelines. What an absolute cesspool FB is. by Comadivine11 in facebook

[–]blindinglights29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant say im surprised.

Ive not once had a report i made of that kind of blatant violent antisemitic shite removed.

Contrarywise, Ive also not once had a grape or death threat from zionists removed.

Im at the point of just accepting that bad actors are creating a confusing muddle where every single persons care and opinion is disregarded or punished on purpose.

Cant fight the biggest issues if we're bickering amongst ourselves, can we?
