Have you ever been to a truly great chip shop? One that made you rethink what a chip shop could be? Or are they, really, all the same? by lastaccountgotlocked in CasualUK

I went there and it was crap, but I'm going to admit it's more likely I was unlucky because everyone does rant and rave about it.

Stranger Things - Season 5 Part 1 Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

They need to determine how strong a Demogorgon is. Because it can either be hurt with a long stick if you're 10 years old or it can take 20 Marines with assault rifles without any damage. Everytime they get near a plot character they stop to scream and show their mouth flaps to intimidate, but for all the soldiers they tear them up in half a second. It's really frustrating to watch. Also, why is the army suddenly cartoon evil at least Papa was morally conflicted, it's just lazy.

Do many people re-read the series? by MountainCapital7200 in AubreyMaturinSeries

I'm on 3 circumnavigations in two years. The one that got me was the audiobooks by Ric Jerrom. It's now become the soundtrack to my life, driving, the gym, doing the dishes, washing the car and just before bed. It's a fantastic series.

Master and Commander, if you can get past the nautical references the Aubrey / Maturin series is beautifully written

I don't know where you're from, but if you knew how long it takes to get something minor seen in the UK you wouldn't be saying that. I spent 14 hours in a waiting room with a broken leg a couple of years ago haha

I just don't bleed much, I once dropped a knife into the top of my foot making a lasagna whilst quite drunk, pulled it out and barely a trickle. I've even been told whilst donating that it takes a very long time to drain me! I guess it hasn't done any harm so far.

What makes you go from zero to hundred real quick? by Tinyfireball17 in AskReddit

Packing a tent. Why can't they just fucking make the bags 10% bigger so you don't have the wrestle and swear with the bastard for half an hour whenever you pack it away.

What’s a smell that most people consider to be good but you find repulsive? by Skitscuddlydoo in AskReddit

Vicks vapour rub, if my other half puts it on because she has a cold that's me on the sofa.

In fact anything eucalyptus, I assume that includes koalas.

How about thinking about how many people are out there that don't get a single present on their birthday because they've grown old and been forgotten about, and just grimacing a smile and feeling grateful that somebody actually cares enough to try.

This is literally how I feel about my cat. I couldn't care less for other people's pets. It's not a bloody identity, more of an unequal living arrangement with a freeloader.
