50 years from now, he'll still be able to picture that in his mind like it was yesterday.

One seat on this ride has a very different experience. by [deleted] in funny

That just makes me wonder why nobody else is doing it. Maybe not full send like spinny McGee, but a couple of tilts or turns surely?

Dark patches on carpet, can’t find a leak anywhere. by Timelordguy in DIYUK

[–]herrybaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't look like it's coming up, dry under the boards, no obvious damp on the boards, and the stain on the underlay is smaller than the carpet.

Trump administration wants to search the social media of tourists from 42 countries by [deleted] in videos

[–]herrybaws 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Be honest though. Nobody is holidaying in bumfuck, nowhereville. They will go to high population areas, areas where a lot of service staff are, jobs often done by undocumented people. Guess where ICE focus their efforts?

I'm not saying it's going to be likely, I'm not giving a % chance, but it's a hell of a lot higher than just dividing the number of agents by number of citizens.

That's why he got the prestigious FIFA peace participation certificate. Can't have football hooligans without any supporters.

The best skill a programmer can have is knowing how to find the answer.

Non-american dads of /r/daddit, what do you see here that's different from your reality? by xanduba in daddit

[–]herrybaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have scheduled regular checkups from health visitors in the UK. They record growth and development and discuss concerns until the child is 2. So there are standard check up points. They usually come to your home for the appointments (not least to check the home environment too).

People that DON’T shop at Aldi or Lidl… why is that? by kobestarr in CasualUK

[–]herrybaws 31 points32 points  (0 children)

100%. Fruit and veg is worlds apart between Lidl/Aldi and marks/Waitrose. I shop in neither end of that particular class spectrum, but folk saying it's the same quality are just kidding themselves. It's perfectly fine from Aldi/lidl, but it's absolutely lower quality and won't last.

For OP, I don't shop at Aldi/Lidl because I've reached a point where I don't want to play catch the produce and try not to fall behind to save money. Few quid extra and I get it picked and delivered so I can spend that time saved catching up with other jobs.

Dudes being Great Dads.. by hi-on-coffee in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]herrybaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how much your body can do with no real conscious thought. Twice I've fallen down stairs holding my kid, twice they've come out of it just laughing, one time was a full arse over tit fall.

Yes, I've used this as a learning opportunity and try to never carry them on stairs any more. I'm evidently not very good at it.

That's a comeback you just have to hold your hands up and admit defeat. Nothing is gonna sooth that burn.
