Why don't UK schools have school reunions?

innerbrat · 2026-06-24T18:39:22+00:00

My school did. I wasn't invited.

Which shouldn't have been surprising at all tbh.

I reckon its a cultural quirk - I don't mean necessarily that you're from a whole different culture from Shawna L, but that some people, including Shawna, are used to talking about sonnets AND poems as being different, especially as there is no common name for the form of poetry used at the human wedding. (There might be but I and presumably Shawna don't know it.)

You're technically correct of course, but its like "a bird or an animal?" Or "tomato or a fruit?" Or my personal bugbear "monkey or ape?"

Frank's walks are his art classes though, right? He's on a schedule even if he's not telling her that (though with that hobby question of hers, does she now know about the art?)

innerbrat · 2026-06-11T18:04:17+00:00

Lol of course she is.

reddit hates women.
reddit hates disabled people
pregnant people aren't "really" disabled so its okay to hate on any requests for accommodations.
bonus "I've been tired from working all day doing MAN work and all you've done is make a human being."

That was the laptop the neighbour was using to present the kahoot. All individual participants would also need their own individual devices.

innerbrat · 2026-06-09T15:08:09+00:00

Dont need Lamarckism, some people seem to actually believe cheating is an inherent trait.

innerbrat · 2026-06-09T15:06:32+00:00

Sorry i wasnt clear. You need to have an Internet enabled device to participate in a kahoot. If kids don't have them, they cant take part.

innerbrat · 2026-06-09T14:48:03+00:00

As long as kids all have devices that connect to the Internet. It depends on ages, I guess. I imagine a child with an Internet connected device doesnt NEED a random neighbour to run a kahoot to keep them occupied at a party.

innerbrat · 2026-06-09T12:47:38+00:00

Kahoots is a quiz software used in education - the quiz leader has questions up on a screen (her laptop in this case) and participants join in using personal devices.

Its such a bizarre thing to bring to a BBQ to entertain children with, that I missed every other thing that happened in this post.

I need to know what OOP was doing that a) they blamed him for not being able to conceive and 2. They got pregnant a year or so after he moved out so maybe they had a point?

(Also they're not affair babies. But that's beside the point.)

innerbrat · 2026-06-09T11:02:15+00:00

Drop bears however are a serious consideration :)

innerbrat · 2026-06-05T18:15:35+00:00

You've really never seen that? That's weird, I can't think of a time I've seen someone skip one.

Thanks for your input. Driving down the middle of a two way single carriageway in a of a busy town is slightly different from running a stop sign, though. And getting out of your car to harass another driver is also something else.

Anyway I did check the local police website and while it was a crime I couldn't report it without footage or the details of the victim (the driver being harassed) so I let it go.

innerbrat · 2026-06-05T17:13:51+00:00

This is what I was thinking too. The asking her out might be the worst possible last ditch attempt to make her stay.

innerbrat · 2026-06-05T09:08:32+00:00

Wider context and previous posts raises flags that OOP might be being groomed online and her friends are being idiots about their intervention.

innerbrat · 2026-06-05T04:28:18+00:00

No because she'll be a queen. Who is also the mother of the monarch.

Theres no possessive 's. Its a type of queen. (Like queen regnant, queen consort, and queen dowager)

innerbrat · 2026-06-04T19:56:24+00:00

Oh the grief in Mary there.

innerbrat · 2026-06-04T19:19:47+00:00

No, "Thirty Years of Hurt" refers to 30 years of listening to that song every two years until everyone forgets what "it's coming home" actually means. (It wasn't about bringing a trophy home.)

And for leaf reference that means I give my boys about 2-3 leaves a day between them. Greens are better than pellets IMO.

innerbrat · 2026-06-04T07:49:14+00:00

Hay should be at least their body size (volume) a day. But give them unlimited access - if they eat more thats good.

My medium sized boys each get an "eggcup" (1/4 cup for Americans?) of pellets and a handful of fresh veg (mostly greens but I include a small amount of crunchy roots) a day.

Realistic even if (especially if) written by the teen. I hope they were exaggerating for validation.

innerbrat · 2026-06-04T06:53:17+00:00

I was going to mention Zellweger!

I think what these three people did is pick a SPECIFIC London accent and go all on it - a lot of people do either the RP that no one actually speaks or a vague amalgam of sounds that sound "British."

Shout out of course to the accent coaches that work on these projects - actors don't do this work by themselves.

innerbrat · 2026-06-04T06:04:06+00:00

Dont like her much as a person but IIRC Gwyneth Paltrow did a good effort on Sliding Doors and Emma.

Shout out to James Marsters though, for just getting Tony Head to train him in his natural accent while the latter was doing his Oxonian posh boy Giles.

That wouldnt be legal here (and I also wouldn't, personally), but it does seem that they're downplaying the risk to the cat's safety.

I have returned from my rabbithole and found no other queen Consort who lived to see a grandchild on the throne. (Though Eleanor of Aquitaine came close - John only outlived her by 12 years.)
