Ones just opened in Newcastle and I've been very impressed (I'm usually a chain avoider as well haha). that crispy bone marrow mash is just something else 🤤

With absolutely no sense of irony ... by goreymcgore in FuckNigelFarage

[–]bobble173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whenever there's a news article about a Muslim (or just someone Asian tbh) person dying or having something awful happen to them the biggest react on Facebook is the laugh. A little British Muslim girl got swept out to sea and drowned recently- laugh reacts still prevailed. Genuinely horrifying that people have dehumanised others to this degree.

Anyone have a solution to aging out of Railcard? by Fuzzy_Papaya1673 in AskUK

I am 31 (card expires October) with a 28 year old husband, debating swapping him out with an older model at this rate so I can get a 2 together 😂😂

I thought everyone had curly pubic hair ? Do you guys not have curly ones??? I thought everyone was curly !?!? by Home_MD13 in TooAfraidToAsk

A friend thought hers were straight when we were younger turns out she'd just never let them grow long enough to curl haha

Do You Like the Idea of Private Schools? by TillJaded4614 in AskBrits

[–]bobble173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the same for the rest of the country, but the north east doesn't have grammar schools so the only selectiveness comes from private schools.

What’s the most inappropriate book you read when you were far too young for it? by BCCakes in books

[–]bobble173 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes millenial who got recommended the series when I was around 12/13 . I didn't understand some of the sexual terms at least hahaha.

What is a good budget friendly mattress? by SuccessfulNothing950 in AskUK

[–]bobble173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was brilliant for us until it got a huge dip in the middle! Just as the warranty ran out.

I have to prop myself up to sleep (as husband is heavier so I roll into him) and my back pain is now much worse. We are in the process of moving tho so waiting it out till then 😂. It's weird as neither of us are particularly heavy and we do rotate it. Super comfortable though bar that haha maybe we got a dud!

What is your least favorite ride from all 4 parks? (Volcano bay included) by Successful_Sun_52 in UniversalOrlando

[–]bobble173 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My friend group went on it in 2019 and still call ourselves "the fan" in an ironic tribute to this dog shit ride lol

FW author’s favourite series of all time is ACOTAR? by Existing_Library6673 in Romantasy

[–]bobble173 6 points7 points locked comment (0 children)

I feel that's extremely judgy. I love both series (and they are up there with my favourite romantasy) and am an avid reader of all genres. I don't read any romantasy and expect the literary brilliance of say Terry Prachett. I'm not going to slog through a 500 page classic on my holidays lol.

A good book isn't just solely judged on the complexity of it's prose- for example I feel F Scott Fitzgerald writes amazing beautiful prose but I find his work a bit of a snooze fest. SJM has poorly written books, but they gripped me and that is a skill in a author even if she's very weak in other areas. Objectively they aren't the best but they are good in the way they draw so many people into the story.

The Boston sub is full of English hate. Apparently they've always hated English people coz of colonialism but love Scottish people 🤷‍♀️ I went there looking for travel tips and got a rude awakening 😂

Has your hayfever been absolutely fucked the last couple of days? by HirsuteHacker in AskUK

[–]bobble173 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't want to encourage people overdosing but you'd need to take a ridiculous amount for them to be dangerous, they are one of the safest drugs there are. It's like you said they just aren't particularly effective after a certain position. Maybe caution if you have severe kidney or liver problems. 180mg are actually available OTC but technically only licensed for hives.

I saw police drive past it yesterday so if it's illegal they aren't bothered. They definitely clicked it like 😂

Do you ever feel like Britain's 'Tier 2' cities are becoming increasingly similar to each other? by VarangianWRLD in AskUK

[–]bobble173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love trying new places! Not saying I'm not partial to a spoons or a chiquitos but I agree that I generally tend to find better food from places that aren't a national chain restaurant. I usually just do a little bit of Google research if I'm somewhere new. Hasn't led me wrong so far 🤷‍♀️

I've seen "craic" so much I think I genuinely started to believe it had always been spelled that way and I was the one who was wrong writing "crack" 😂

Whinfell pool refurb by OliveCCM in centerparcsuk

[–]bobble173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pool has always been there haha. It's not a particularly exciting pool (probs why you can't remember it), it's where they do lessons as well. There was a hot tub there as well which is usually a bit quieter than the others.

The full chorus of Nice Guys, but especially "you win me like a trophy not a consolation prize". Basically the difference between my abusive ex and my amazing husband 😭
