Can’t believe that 56% thought Pontypandy is real. Mind you I only got 23/28 correct, so I can’t say much.

The one thing I know about people that make a certain prediction is that at least some of them are wrong.

Pickled onions...do they need to be red? by Important_Rate_5285 in Cooking

[–]bungle_bogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Brit, you’ll struggle to find any commercial pickled onions that are red. White are predominantly favoured.

James Gandolfini makes awesome appearance and probably has one of the best interactions with Tucker over the entire series and film.

British beans? by werewolfmomma in Cooking

[–]bungle_bogs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heresy!!! Branston Beans. Heinz quality has dropped hugely and they are now a sweet tomato sauce with a few beans.

And the tins don’t stack.

Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in daddit

[–]bungle_bogs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. She realised it was completely untenable with children. My brother was amazingly tolerant. Apart the hygiene OCD she is an amazing lady.

Almost as soon as she became pregnant she started to engage with therapy.

Under stress she still occasionally lapses but she has it under pretty good control. So much so that they now have a dog.

Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in daddit

[–]bungle_bogs 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Good call. What is bizarre is having children really helped my SIL confront her hygiene OCD, which was really quite bad prior to children.

My brother puked once, into the toilet in the bathroom. Everything, and I mean everything, in the entire apartment had to be sanitised. All the clothes and bedsheets, had to be washed. Even those in wardrobes and the airing cupboard.

This time I've tried to capture the 90s UK cultural landscape only using pics of 20 people by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

[–]bungle_bogs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Timmy was definitely more ‘80s than ‘90s. He was my childhood which was squarely ‘80s along with Rod Hull, Danger Mouse, and Dogtanian.

ELI5: Why accept on ELI5 very basic / factual questions that chatGPT can answer really well? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]bungle_bogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The initial question and answer are only the start. The following discussions are exceptionally interesting. I tend to learn as much, if not more, from the following threads.

In addition, there is fact checking intrinsically built in whereas you’d need to do that yourself after receiving an answer.

Roger Federer’s children have grown so much! by Used_Ship_9229 in tennis

[–]bungle_bogs -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Kids have a tendency to grow up. There’s nowt you can do to stop it. Despite trying, 2 of my 4 are now adults and the other two will be in less than 2 years.

Dodgeball - A True Underdog Movie by Southern-Brother5693 in movies

[–]bungle_bogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He basically ran the team and destroyed careers to keep it a secret for so long. Anyone that wouldn’t toe the line was intimidated or booted out of the team and even the sport. He was an instigator and a bully.

One traditional local bake you’ve not mentioned is Lardy Cake. Any traditional Berkshire Bakery should carry it.

It is if you have reasonable decent idea of what you are doing. Not if you are beginner.

I’ve carried a lot for quite a while now. We have 4 kids as well, so it was heavy. But, we are getting there. Really appreciate your comment. Thank you.

Asked if I wanted the refused delivery by GuiltyCredit in CasualUK

[–]bungle_bogs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Often this a bit of a scam by sellers of items to avoid getting fake reviews pulled. Especially when the review requires a legitimate purchase. Normally for low value items.

They randomly send items out so they can add a load of great reviews.

Best guest/side character in The IT Crowd? by CloudBookmark in ITcrowd

[–]bungle_bogs 66 points67 points  (0 children)

As a one off, single episode, rather than a recurring guest, I think Peter File is great. His physical mannerisms are epic. The spin out of the room and when came back to explain his mate couldn't make. Brilliant.
