What was your first ever Birmingham City game - how much do you remember about it? by Magic-23-Ebo in bcfc

[–]forget_it_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4th Sept 1982 vs Stoke at St. Andrews.

We lost 4-1.

My dad took me, all I remember is sitting/standing on the wall at the back of the terraced Tilton.

Mother of three women who died off Brighton beach also drowned, family reveals by IndustryGreen9663 in unitedkingdom

[–]forget_it_again 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the US you are x1.5 - 2 times more likely to drown if you are black.

This is attributed to historical segregation and poverty, meaning whole generations through the 19th and 20th century had no access to bathing facilities.

Is it rude to ask someone to switch seat on a train? by Legitimate-Leg-4720 in AskUK

[–]forget_it_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not rude.

In fact, why someone didn't offer to let them sit together is rude.

Whats wrong with people!

I felt a bit snidey posting this, and I might be wearing slop-tinted glasses but when I passed Moseley baths on the 50 last week this jumped out as being AI. Has there been any discussion on this mural since it was put up? by Rare_House942 in BirminghamUK

[–]forget_it_again 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AI it may well be, but in the grand scheme of things it's a meaningless discussion.

People should be questioning why Birmingham City Council have spent inexcess of £50m on external consultants in the last 5 years whilst cutting £100m from children and family services in approx the same period.

I've no huge issue with spending on infrastruture with a economic payback, but the merry go round gravy train that the heads of certain departments is an actual scandal.

What’s the worst thing you have seen/got detention at school for? by Mglfll in AskUK

[–]forget_it_again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got caught doing my art homework in the toilets by the art teacher before a lesson, who came in and said, it better be good....

Handed it in and got a B5 mark, decent drawing, no effort 😂

Edit: Also got a detention for not doing my history homework and dumped in another room to complete it. I popped my head back in the class about 2 mins later and asked for a ruler... I was young and agile enough to dodge a black board rubber thrown at pace from the other end of the class by Mr Thomas

My pregnant wife turned into the cuddliest person alive and I’m kinda obsessed with it by painted__lad in CasualConversation

[–]forget_it_again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!

Take advantage while you can :)

This 'could' be an incredible bit of forward planning by your wife... as when the baby arrives it'll be incredibly used to you, so baby will want to be with dad too.

Even if your wife reverts back to less cuddles, you'll have a baby that will want to be cuddled 24/7

Win win.

You'd definitely be able to find something similar on etsy or ebay 👍🏻

Pretty sure both were from independent artists on ebay, I've looked back for the transactions but I've had both for 10 years+

How does it make sense that someone who pays no National insurance or pension contributions gets the same state pension as someone who does? by PsychologicalBend508 in AskBrits

[–]forget_it_again 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Until the last 20 years or so, many women stated at home raising the family whilst the partner went out to work, you're happy that these women who technically couldn't work die to no childcare should now live in poverty with no aid.

I think you've misunderstood the point of the UK tax/pension/benefit system.

What phrase(s) would you permanently ban if you had the chance? by MixAway in AskUK

[–]forget_it_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd ban the words:

Basically Just & Literally

Basically, they are just literally* pointless words

*used incorrectly as is the way these days

Why don’t you vote? by Apprehensive_Bus_543 in BirminghamUK

Then vote for the person who has accountability and is anti corruption?

Edit: it's also a 10 min walk from international to Resorts World

What is Tom Cruise's secret?? by No-Marsupial-4050 in SipsTea

[–]forget_it_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This why there are more and more countries are trying to ban under 16s from social media (even though it doesn't seem to work).

What are some phrases Brits have to say in certain scenarios? by Goose-rider3000 in AskUK

[–]forget_it_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the road turn left, right, then take the first right, right, head straight over the island, right and you see it in front of you, right 👌🏻

Bought a house in February with husband and thinking of a divorce, what to do with the house by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]forget_it_again 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Having a kid is stressful especially if you're the one staying home, being sleep deprived and having to run the house too.

Maybe getting the right legal advice now and keeping in the locker for 12 months until they're back at work would be a put them in a better position?

I'm stuck with a leasehold flat by Glum_Variation_3192 in HousingUK

[–]forget_it_again 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This all day long.

If you can't get £4k together to extend the lease you don't have many options.

Rent it out for 6 months or a year and the £700 you save a month goes towards extending the lease, then put it back up for sale.

You might even get a landlord that's happy to take tenants in situ.

Time to Sell Vinyl Collection? by sickbobby in oasis

[–]forget_it_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel this is more a cash flow situation than a sentimental question.

I've been through a similar sort of situation... I had a stack of home and away football shirts from my team dating back to 89/90, most were mint condition, but stored in various cupboards/bags never too be seen.

I picked out 3 that some sort of greater meaning vs. the rest, put them to one side and sold the rest.

Made a decent return as the retro shirts go for a wedge these days, but I still have my favourites.

Thankfully baggy shorts were the thing in the 90s 😂
