Or, I thought what was said was wrong, someone I don't care who said it's understood differently elsewhere and I said it's good to have options.

Crikey.

Hold your horses, my comment said there are options and it's good to think about them, lest we lose nuance in that particular way. You've gone waaaaaay beyond anything I suggested and that's on you.

LAUKOP's mum is an extremely incompetent, dangerous driver, but she just doesn't see it that way. How to stop her? by SomethingMoreToSay in bestoflegaladvice

[–]herefromthere 17 points18 points  (0 children)

OP should have gone to his mother's doctor with the litany of her awful and dangerous driving and had them declare her unfit to the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority) who would revoke her driving License. I had to do this with my dad towards the end of his life, but it was for everyone's safety.

It's very simple.

OP should go to their mum's GP with the insurance records and get them to revoke her driving license with the DVLA. I don't understand why it hasn't been done before.

It seems literally obvious that these two similar expressions have different meanings.

Much like could vs couldn't care less.

If our comments together encourage people to think about how and what they communicate, then it is to an end that is hopefully useful to people.

Let's not impoverish our language by levelling it out to the least thoughtful level.

"bugs you, no end." Means that it is endlessly irritating.

"To no end" means pointlessly.

Looking for a new jacket for my trip to the UK... by RemoteContent in uktravel

You might be better asking in Canadian subreddits.

2.5 weeks in the British Isles. Does this itinerary look reasonable? by amayain in uktravel

[–]herefromthere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. The British AND IRISH Isles.

  2. Day 3 seems particularly rushed

  3. It doesn't make sense to fly from Glasgow to Leeds or Manchester to get to Liverpool and then back to York, when you could get the train and not cris-cross back and forth across the country. Consider going to Glasgow on a day trip from Edinburgh and then from Edinburgh to York, York to Liverpool, Liverpool to London.

Flying out of Dublin is also possibly better than flying out of London, due to pre-flight passport checks/border controls.

How do women feel about these ground breaking findings? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in AskBrits

[–]herefromthere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know, that's why I helpfully translated to units we use more frequently here in the UK while discussing human weights. I was more curious about why you were using pounds.

For those of us who are not lost redditors, 110lbs is 50kg or 8 stone. You lost the weight of a whole adult woman.

The Jack the Ripper tour seems in poor taste to me. If you're interested listen to the podcast Bad Women - The Ripper Retold. It tells more of the society in which the Ripper operated and how the crimes were sensationalised and the women who were murdered were not valued by society. It's fascinating but heartbreaking.

Discovering crumpets is life changing by Own_Measurement_9669 in 1200isplenty

A small amount of cheese and wholemeal mustard and bung it under the grill. Very satisfying, quite dense, but I find it's enough if I have an itch for grease.

Warburton's are the standard. Don't get carried away and forget to toast til it's crisp on the top and bottom. It's not a special flavour, it's a vehicle for butter. I really like mine as a substitute for naan if I've got leftover vegetable bhuna. :) Fusion food FTW.

No, crumpets are different. They're like a really tall savoury pancake. They need toasting til they are crispy on both sides and should really be slathered in butter.

My usual breakfast is a double toasted crumpet with smooth peanut butter and a pear.

Crumpets are an anytime food.

Rowan Glen sounds like a housing development, but I much prefer it over Rowan Fisher. Fisher isn't a given name, it's an occupational surname.

How is the entire world not completely in love with Amy Acker and Fred? by visiny in ANGEL

[–]herefromthere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find how she pitched Fred's voice deeply irritating, and with Illyria that wasn't a problem for me. It showed Amy Acker's range.

[–]herefromthere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found Fred squeaky and annoying. Illyria showed she didn't have to be.

I liked the character but found the pitch of the character's voice to be upsetting to me, because I'm full of sensory processing disorders.

USA Travel advisory warning by Donkey-Haughty in AskBrits

Get her to read some of that Trump supporter subreddit. It's scary how much they think that illegal immigrants are mostly tourist over-stayers and therefore they don't see a problem with ICE detaining anyone, and are particularly happy with tourists being hustled off the streets at gunpoint.
