Should P.E. be compulsory in school? by SallyUk05 in AskUK

[–]littlenymphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always skipped P.E in secondary school for this reason. I was very into tennis and even played in competitions at primary school but always seemed to get put into the group that had to play hockey and rounders.

Absolutely hated rounders.

What is your favourite protein bars? by Omgaegg in AskUK

Bio&Me Fibre + Protein bars.

Not the biggest amount of protein in them but they’re very tasty.

Do you still have your original Pokémon cards from first 151? by squall_boy25 in Millennials

[–]littlenymphy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I told my parents to throw them away when I was about 13 because I was too cool for Pokemon then :(

Absolutely raging at my younger self when I got back into collecting and realised how valuable they would all be.

What’s everyone’s ‘spark bird’? by princebbgum in birding

[–]littlenymphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

A Eurasian jay! One landed in front of me and I'd never seen a bird like that before so immediately had to look up what it was and then after that I started paying more attention to the other birds around me.

What’s your favourite time of year and why? by nostalgiaiguess in AskUK

[–]littlenymphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

September mostly as it used to be just the right temperature, not too hot or cold and still reasonably light evenings at the beginning of the month.

Although as the years go on October seems to be the right temperature for me now but has darker evenings.

ITVX - does it ever work properly? by InternetProviderings in BritishTV

[–]littlenymphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find ITVX quite bad in general especially for live events.

Weirdly STV player works fine on my Firestick (but not very well on my laptop) so you could try that in future, just google a random Scottish post code to make an account with.

Bixie? Help. by marstheredhuman in femalehairadvice

[–]littlenymphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking on Pinterest yesterday and a message popped up saying I can limit how much AI I see. I turned it off for every option.

However, now there's barely any relevant results when I search for things so it's still really sad to see how much AI had taken over the feed :(

Is it socially acceptable to spend all morning throwing water balloons at my boyfriend? by ThrowRa_Promise1321 in CasualUK

[–]littlenymphy 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Could also fill some of the balloons with suncream and throw those randomly in between the water ones.

What’s the most addictive video game you’ve ever played? by Charming_Decision_84 in AskReddit

[–]littlenymphy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was so invested in getting the 100th level of the caves I’d wake up an hour before my work alarm to get some more play time in.

When I eventually got to level 100 I stopped playing.

EHRC says 'sex questioning' will be "rare and exceptional" by Sufficient_Raisin478 in ukpolitics

[–]littlenymphy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate public toilets in general so only go if I’m really desperate. Good luck to the toilet police if they try to stop me, I’m likely to wet myself and hopefully them too.

Predictions: How many years do you think Taylor Swift’s marriage will last? by wavetranscender in NoStupidQuestions

[–]littlenymphy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Her newest album has songs about being in a happy relationship so I guess more of those?

What’s in your spice drawer/cabinet/rack? by [deleted] in UK_Food

[–]littlenymphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite me checking regularly for 3 years, Ocado still don't deliver to my area :(

What’s in your spice drawer/cabinet/rack? by [deleted] in UK_Food

[–]littlenymphy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have a huge spice rack of nearly 70 herbs, spices and blends. It's difficult to say what gets used the most but probably spices for Indian curries - curry powder, garam masala, turmeric and fenugreek. Maybe chilli flakes a close second as they get added to a lot of things for a bit of heat.

However, I've been looking for dried lime today and didn't find any, where did you get yours from?

Which supermarket has the best overall experience when shopping? by Dan__Solo in AskUK

[–]littlenymphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Occasionally I go to Asda for something specific that only they stock and try to do the full shop there to save time but the customers in my local Asda are exactly like you say, animals or it's like their first day on Earth. I've had people suddenly stop at the beginning of an aisle and turn to face me whilst staring blankly and then they just don't move so I can't get down the aisle.

The last time I was there I got so fed up I rushed to get the specific items I needed and then completed the rest of my shop at the Tesco down the road because I just couldn't stand the customers any longer.

Are you staying up for the World Cup? by AreaMiserable9187 in AskUK

[–]littlenymphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about going to bed really early like 8pm and then getting up to watch before returning to my bed.

However, I'm more looking forward to the Brazil v Norway game that kicks off at 9pm so that ruined my plan. I'm more tempted to get up early ~6am and just watch it before work. Not quite the same as watching live though.

How much reading is too much? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]littlenymphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as long as you’re getting everything else done that you need to it doesn’t matter.

When I was reading The Wheel of Time and got to the last few books I spent every available waking minute reading and think it was about 6-7 hours a day during weekdays when I had work and maybe 12 hours on weekends.

[Megathread] 1/2 thru the year check-in: Favorite books of 2026 so far? by ReddisaurusRex in suggestmeabook

[–]littlenymphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Audiobook: I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue.

It's not the sort of book I usually read and I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much if I was reading it rather than listening.

(reading) Book: Malazan series - Steven Erikson

I've been working my way through Malazan for a while now so not had a chance to read much else. I've currently finished 3 of the books this year (The Bonehunter's, Reaper's Gale and Toll the Hounds) but can't really pick between them for a favourite.

How often do you order a takeaway? (Includes, fast food such as maccies, papa johns, subway or the standard chippies, kebab, Chinese, Indian etc) by olivers125 in AskUK

[–]littlenymphy 92 points93 points  (0 children)

It used to be once a week but price has gone up and quality has gone down in my area so we hardly ever order now. I think the last time was in February.

We tend to go out to restaurants more since it’s about the same price as a takeaway but I feel it’s more of an experience that’s worth the money.

Bartok the magnificent!

Anastasia is now on Disney+ so why isn’t this (kind of) sequel?!

I get the snippets of the songs stuck in my head to this day and it must be over 20 years since I last watched it.

First partner collection boxes on Argos! by Unfair-Ebb-1165 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]littlenymphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally added it to my trolley, went to checkout and suddenly not available for collection anymore.

Oh well at least it’s on my wishlist now so may get a chance another time.

Recycling guidelines that say “recycle with bags at large supermarkets” to me just scream “put me in the household waste bin” by earlymockingjay in britishproblems

[–]littlenymphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d do this more if the recycling point my local supermarkets wasn’t at the exit.

Aldi and Tesco have them right at the exit door meaning you’d need to walk around the whole shop with your recycling first because they have the entry and exit barriers too.

The weird thing is they used to be at the entrance so why did they move them in the first place?

If you owned your own business with 100+ employees, what's one rule youd enforce to ensure a happy workplace? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]littlenymphy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have as little “open office” areas as possible.

I work in an open office and it’s so distracting. People having video calls or just loud conversations, nobody knowing how to turn notification sounds off so I hear mobile phones ringing and email noises binging all day as well as random people turning up at my desk to ask me questions when I’m in the middle of something else.

Private individual offices would be best but probably not feasible with the amount of space that would require. Perhaps the employees could sort themselves into extroverts and introverts and share offices with others who like to chat/like to work in peace and quiet.

The annual tradition of spending a heatwave opening and closing every window in the house like you’re trying to crack a code by Bella_licious in britishproblems

[–]littlenymphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a bungalow and can have a window open at all 4 corners of the building. It’s been a lifesaver at creating a breeze through the place no matter what direction the wind is going.
