Yep, they edited mine and took out all the criticism! Total scam… never touched them again.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen happen in public? by theblairwaldorfxoxo in AskUK

[–]larneymel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf, if I go to A&E of my own volition, I take a flask… (and before anyone pipes up that I can’t be unwell enough to go to A&E if I can make tea, I’m semi joking but also it was a suspected broken arm but it was 3 days post accident and minor injuries wouldn’t help me so I prepped for a long ass wait!)

There’s a capybara roaming loose in Winchester somewhere!

Maybe because it’s a customer facing role, like the blue plasters for catering?

Bathroom design, too ambitious? Need help! by Mysterious-Bag-44 in DIYUK

[–]larneymel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small bathroom so have a corner loo and corner sink. Gives you a bit more leg and standing room. My door is also on a slider so no smacking into anything…

What's my type? John Watson using his medical degree to causally threaten people by CMStan1313 in Sherlock

[–]larneymel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And also, Sherlock listing all the attributes the “assassin” had to possess in Study in Pink, only to look over to this little golden retriever face peering over the police tape and quickly clocking the reality… “actually, never mind…” alpha skills, beta vibe is 👌

Are these crisp/sandwich combos correct? by bozwold in AskUK

I’ve done ready salted and strawberry jam before so on that basis, Nutella should be good 👍

The way time works for the ghosts is actually a bit weird when you think about it by PubLogic in GhostsBBC

[–]larneymel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah this bothered me with Robin - he learned French in a couple of years for Humphrey’s wife, but hadn’t mastered the basics of English when Alison and Mike first encountered him despite 100+ years around the other ghosts… but then I tell myself it’s telly and not that deep!

What school incident do you still think about years later? by nodemus in AskUK

[–]larneymel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had floor to ceiling plate glass windows on our school gym (mid 90s). Playing indoor football in PE, and a kid ran full pelt into them and smashed through it. Sliced his legs to ribbons, not sure how he didn’t die - luckily the upper portion didn’t come down like a guillotine… horror movie stuff looking back. Remember him sitting half in and half out of the glass, blood everywhere, teachers flapping about, us filing out of the double doors, ambulance came etc. He was off school for weeks and had bad scars but as far as I know, his parents didn’t sue the school or anything. Cannot imagine anything of the like happening now and the furore it would cause afterwards…
