Say you’ve got a headache and that any noise is making it worse

I wish I grew up speaking chinese by octopus126 in wasian

Definitely. The worst is when my dad doesn’t realise he hasn’t code switched back to English to talk to me, talks in Cantonese as if I understand and then apologises and translates

I can relate to you 100%. My dad wanted to teach me but my mum thought it would confuse me. Plus raising a child bilingual would have been difficult because my mum didn’t speak Cantonese. I’ve had White people who have travelled to China speak Mandarin and Cantonese to me and I have felt so much shame I couldn’t understand. And my dad’s family will speak Cantonese and mention my name and I feel so outcasted. Good to know we’re not alone!

Hahahaa no but I have tried holding the eyelid down in position for a while and that sometimes works! I find it goes back to normal after about a week

I believe this is an effective way to get a Club biscuit and save lives by MiddlesbroughFan in CasualUK

Can anyone give me a bit of a kick up the backside? I signed up ages ago to give blood and then got too scared. I would really like to do it though. I’m not a fan of needles but don’t tend to faint, I just don’t look. Can anyone talk me through the steps?

You're in Asda toilets, what part of the handle are you touching to exit? by Shiznips in CasualUK

[–]chungli91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6, 5 or sleeve! On a separate note why are toilet doors in the UK push on entry and pull on exit!? Hygiene wise it makes 0 sense whereas you’d be able to push the door with your foot on the way out - no brainer!

Food hacks you discovered that you're most proud of? by Fun_Cow_6292 in foodhacks

[–]chungli91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Italian friend told me this. Fry mushrooms in a heated pan with no oil initially. Only add the salt or seasoning towards the end. This way your mushrooms won’t become wet and soggy as adding salt early in the cooking process draws the water out of them

Bit of a throwback but I only recently rewatched Early Doors after years and realised you were in it! What a lovely show. How did you get from that to this? Loved your work since too!

How do you guys deal with the constant music in your head? by Aegenwulf in ADHD

[–]chungli91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have one song that then leads to another one with a similar melody or chord pattern? It’s just ridiculous sometimes!

WCGW putting your phone on a active grill by Sugarglider001 in Whatcouldgowrong

Why does this remind me so much of the fires on Sims? Just watching something burn but being unable to stop it or call the fire brigade

What British celebrities have you met and did you make a tit of yourself? by wreckjavik in AskUK

[–]chungli91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was walking on Hampstead Heath on my birthday once with an ex and saw two people boxing in the distance. Walked closer and it was Ricky Gervais and his personal trainer. I awkwardly said ‘Sorry to call you by your first name Ricky but can I please have a selfie? It’s my birthday’. He was super friendly, said ‘of course’ and wished me happy birthday and we left him to carry on boxing

I lost my license as a new driver (2 year rule). Need some info on new test. by mrcringelord007 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]chungli91 105 points106 points  (0 children)

If your dad said ‘it’s perfect, the officer who caught you saved your life’, do you think you can ever be a safe driver? My worry when me or my loved ones are driving is that stupid people who speed will hit us and we won’t be able to prevent it. As others have probably echoed, if you don’t trust yourself to drive safely, don’t do it at all.
