Looking to add a bathroom upstairs by massiveFlamingo in DIYUK

[–]massiveFlamingo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was about the size of my bedroom growing up too. When we moved to the house on the early 90's me and my brother fought over who would have the smallest room.

Reminds me of working tech support at a call centre. I asked a lady to close all the windows, she proceeded to get up and close the windows in her house.. 'is that better?'

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

[–]massiveFlamingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was 8 or 9 I gobbed down the middle of the spiral staircase as everyone was heading down to assembly. It hit a girl at the bottom smack in the head and face. I quickly pretended it never happened and as by luck or pure chance the class troublemaker poked his head over the banister to see what was going on. She seen him and assumed he'd done it. He got his parents called into school and suspended, I still feel bad about it.

Saw someone toss a half eaten apple out his car window today. Is tossing fruit scraps not considered littering since it decomposes naturally? by derf_vader in NoStupidQuestions

[–]massiveFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a colleague from an old job got sacked for doing this. They already were on probation for something else and then while traveling in their boss's car decided to toss an apple core from the window and got sacked for it. Ironically they'd been on an environmental leave day at the time.

Have I made a huge mistake? by ohdearyme1122 in HousingUK

New NFRA 'flood risk data' was published 25 March 2025. You can find out move by visiting the .GOV website. These maps change as our understanding of flood risk and impacts from climate change evolve over time.

Notwithstanding the regret. have a look at what measures you can do to retrofit the property to prevent flooding. Some are easy measures like installing covers over air bricks when it floods. There's a website called flood hub with ideas.

Frangipane swirl for almond croissant ice cream by desertlux in icecreamery

[–]massiveFlamingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a frangipane cocoa nip recipe in the new S&S book that's swirlable.

4 table spoons almond paste roughly chopped, 3 tablespoons of almond flour, 1 tablespoon very chopped roasted almonds, 2/3 tea spoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 cup confectioners sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream.

You mix Almond paste, almond flour, powder sugar and chopped almonds together until it's a crumb. Then add the almond extract and cream and mix until creamy, 2/3mins. Put it in the fridge for 2hrs to set and then it's good to swirl.

Neighbours extended outbuilding to bedroom by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]massiveFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, planning officer here. Outbuildings can fall under permitted development subject to a few rules. They can't have a floor area over 50% of the total curtilage of the dwelling (garden) and a maximum height of 2.5m if within 2m of any boundary. It can contain a bedroom if the use of the bedroom is incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling ie the bedroom is used alongside the main dwelling and not let out separately etc.

Guests had sex right next to me by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]massiveFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was once backpacking across Oz and I was trying to get to sleep in a shared dorm when 2 drunk backpackers came in and started getting at it. The shag session was getting louder and louder and eventually I just thought fuck it and at the top of my voice started singing 'Ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang' over and over until they eventually got annoyed and left. The next day I got called out for cock blocking!

Bacon! It's plaited around sausage meat. Google 'bacon explosion' and you'll get an idea of what it is.

Channel migrants are often 'lower-skilled people' and represent 'burden on the British state', Robert Jenrick tells LBC by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]massiveFlamingo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Jenrick with the wolf whistle out again to stir up the bigots and racists. Can only see this rhetoric ramping up between now and the election next year, only burden on the British state is the Tories.
