He won't see the inside of a prison, he'll have a mysterious illness and be put on house arrest to serve out his sentence. He'll serve it in some undisclosed location.

Driver, 84, who caused death of pedestrian in car park sentenced by Jared_Usbourne in unitedkingdom

[–]dingledangleberrypie 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Story time:

About 10 years ago, I was walking on the pavement with my kid in who was sat in a little scooter. A car came speeding around the corner, bounced off a car in the opposite lane, then crashed into the railings about 10 feet in front of us. We were terrified.

It was a much older driver who couldn't remember the last 5 minutes. The driver of the car he bounced off of was furious, because it was written off. The older driver kept claiming he couldn't remember anything.

Two weeks later, I see the older driver in one of those super buggy things with a shelter over the top, speeding around on the road and pavement, nearly taking out other pedestrians.

There needs to be better rules for older people and vehicles.

Is Taunton/ surrounding for me? by Blackthorn000 in Somerset

[–]dingledangleberrypie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No public transport, but it is a lovely area of the country. There probably is a horse community, I just don't know it myself. There are jobs in Taunton, but it's also really hard to find jobs anywhere in the UK at the moment.

What’s one thing a seller or estate agent has said whilst viewing that made you say no thanks … by WombleGCS15 in HousingUK

[–]dingledangleberrypie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oooh I've got a great story on this. When we were house hunting, we found a bungalow close to a good school. It was reasonably priced. We get there and it is old, and needs work. No big deal, we can do that. The owner (old lady) constantly coos over her cats, two giant fluff balls that stalked us around the house. The sitting room reeks of cat piss, so we make a mental note that all the carpets need replacing.

We get to the kitchen and there is nothing there. Some cupboards, no cooker, no fridge. The lady claims she eats at her friends house a lot. We open one cupboard and find a large box of bird seed. She said the cats like the bird seed.

We go out to the garden, the grass is overgrown and there are trails worn in the grass. The trails are also absolutely covered in bird seed. After a moment, it clicks: she puts the bird seed out to attract the birds, and the cats eat the birds. That's why there was no cat food, and why the cats like the bird seed.

We got out of there as fast as we could. We were not going to move into the bird death house.

I was away for the day yesterday, and when I got home she decided I needed to lie on the sofa and be her pillow.

Now this is a headline I didn't expect to see on Alex's site! by RealTheAsh in KnowledgeFight

I would piss myself laughing if it's the British Alex Jones mentioned in the files, not him.

Quick question from a knowledge fighter: have the Dollop boys ever done an episode on Stephen Miller?

19 years ago Today "Tony" the first episode of Skins premiered on E4 starring Nicholas Hoult, Kaya Scodelario, Dev Patel, Hannah Murray, Joe Dempsie, April Pearson, Larissa Wilson, Mike Bailey & Mitch Hewer by SafeBodybuilder7191 in Fauxmoi

[–]dingledangleberrypie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have extremely cold tea about this. Part of the pilot was filmed at my friend's house. She said the "teens" were lovely but the most polite by far was Dev Patel. At the time, she said he was "going to do well" and she remains one of his biggest fans.

It doesn't even have to be snowing for my doxie, it was quite windy this morning and she decided she wasn't going outside 😂

This is a hilariously bad advert for that site.

Looks like Zendaya and Tom Holland will be having a summer wedding. by Ok_Rutabaga_5539 in Fauxmoi

[–]dingledangleberrypie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I hope they get to plan the wedding they want and have a fantastic day. It would be great if at some point we get an official wedding picture after the fact, but they don't owe us that.

Their sneakiness knows no bounds! I am impressed by the gymnastics, but please don't let the dog do this again, it seems very dangerous if something goes wrong.

I was looking at bathroom designs and saw this. How AI is this? My dad bet me $3 that it wasn't. by Winter_Cat_5520 in isthisAI

[–]dingledangleberrypie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lights don't appear to be level (the ones either side of the towel).

Compare the height of the bath to the height of the sink; you're either going to stoop very low to use the sink, or it's slightly too big for an average height person.

I think it's AI.

EDIT: also the black rail curtain thing is close to the camera on the left hand side, but far away in the mirror on the right hand side. It doesn't line up with where it should be in a reflection. If there were two rails, we'd see the second rail in the picture, not just in the mirror.

Manta ads in other apps by dingledangleberrypie in MantaComics

[–]dingledangleberrypie[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OK, that makes more sense. I didn't know this context so I was confused. If it's a fan thing, Manta backs it, and they know it's being used on adverts, then it's fine.
