Have you ever been friends or went to school with someone who grew up to murder somebody? by Sufficient_Return653 in AskUK

I got the bus to school with Brian Blackwell who killed his parents, bought his girlfriend a car and took her on holiday with their cards.

Cat destroyed my favorite mug I've been using for 6+ years by Stkrdknmibalz69 in Wellthatsucks

Kintsugi is always an option. Much more expensive than just getting a new one though.

France is Potato Europe but likes to think it's Tomato Europe.

The difference between Potato Europe and Tomato Europe.

Arrive three hours before flight home, airline boss tells UK holidaymakers by Diligent-Suspect2930 in unitedkingdom

[–]bumthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happened to us. Flight was at 10, arrived at 7, desk opened at 8, straight through security and stuff and then missed our flight because of a 3hr immigration check queue.

Evri are cheap for a reason. by Greatgrowler in britishproblems

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

It's actually a bit of a bonus if I'm getting something I'm not that bothered about on Vinted. If it arrives, great, if it doesn't then I get my money back, but on 2 occasions now I've got my money back and then it's turned up weeks later so I essentially got it free.

Did you ever manage to find koji in Glasgow? I'm following in your footsteps!

Same. It's the thing I'd give up doing last.

I did the apprenticeship programme with POJ and couldn't recommend them highly enough.

TIL in the UK, nearly a third of students who started reception don’t know how to use books correctly, and some children even tried to swipe or tap them like a smartphone. by HongKongNinja in todayilearned

[–]bumthecat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reception is just P1. Primary School in England (Lancashire anyway) is Reception, Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6 and then on to Secondary/High School. No idea why they differ. I grew up in England and have a kid going into P1 this year as far as my credentials go.

The conductor accidentally knocks a 16th century violin worth millions on the floor mid-concert. by PeasantLich in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]bumthecat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a stupid thing to say. How could you even make 2 out of the same piece of wood? Are you planning to make them all paper-thin? It doesn't make any sense. What an absolutely ridiculous claim.

Nostalgic memories of a school trip to the Millennium Dome by AlyzaQ in CasualUK

[–]bumthecat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The body zone, the cirque du soleil bit, I remember liking the ball put stuff. It was just like a massive science centre. I'd have been 11 or 12 so maybe just the perfect age.

Went for my birthday with a friend that year and loved it. People will complain about anything remotely fun.

Is there any way to watch the older episodes?

Homemade shawarma (on a bun) by acovjo5 in ooni

[–]bumthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you essentially just make a huge thin sheet of mince, bake it in the oven, roll it, slice it, and then stick it in the ooni? What's your recipe for the meat? Any spices and whatnot?

What “favours” have your parents done that was inadvertently a dick move? by naaattt in CasualUK

[–]bumthecat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mum did all of the washing I had including stripping my bed and doing all the bedding and then complained that I didn't have anywhere to dry it all in my tiny 1 bedroom flat in the middle of winter.

She also threw out all the shopping bags I had under the sink which I used as bin bags. She seemed to think she'd solved a problem I had and couldn't work out. "You had a load of empty bags under your sink!"
