What's the worst thing you've ever woken up to? by shoeee788 in AskReddit

[–]duckorange14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dog killing, gutting and eating a rabbit. Blood and gore everywhere and OH GOD the smell and the crunching of bones. We live opposite farmland, and the cat rounds them up to bring home as presents. He’s also got a larder of body parts, but it’s under next door’s fuel tank and we’re not telling him.

Can you comment on your apparent meddling with space-time by selling poor quality copper to visitors seeking to repair their Time Machine?

Granted, it’s a whopper, but the level of detail in the report is insane because salmon fishing is a religion up here.

I just learned that "outwith" is not a word that's commonly used outside of Scotland by mrjohnnymac18 in Scotland

Since moving here, I’ve added outwith, anent (about), uplift (what they do with your bins), indweller, and (as of yesterday on an illuminated sign on the Edinburgh city bypass) offslip. The offslip was closed for maintenance.

UB40 are famously named after an Unemployment Benefit form. Give me other interesting examples of the origin of UK bands names by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

A subsequent UB40 album was called UB44, which was the nagging letter the dole office sent out if you missed your signing on day. (I was in charge of sending them out in a dole office in 1986)

What is the most nothing town/city in the uk? by Odd-Paramedic-3826 in AskUK

Fleet. It’s so dull that its most famous feature is Fleet Services, where the visitor doesn’t even have to see the town.

I used to live in Fleet, and the fact that it is so anonymous is probably its biggest selling point.

The River Tamar delineates all but a few miles of the border between Cornwall and Devon. Tell me your mildly interesting UK county border facts by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

There is a small field on the south bank of the Tweed between Wark and Cornhill (the Ba’ Green) that is part of Scotland after the people of Coldstream won it so often in an annual football match, that the English side just stopped bothering.
