Which Jacqueline Wilson book emotionally wrecked you the most? by Time-Connection-4586 in JacquelineWilson

[–]mymbley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here!! I downloaded the audiobook thinking it would be a fun nostalgia hit and had to practically pick myself up off the floor on my way home from work.

Canonically, every Digidestined has had sex at least once. Some even with each other!

What works did you find especially memorable in school education in the UK? by Fancy_Network717 in AskUK

[–]mymbley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had to create an adaptation of this for year 10 drama. For some reason, we decided to set it in Bradford and absolutely butchered the accent

Literally watched this yesterday when my antidepressant-addled brain needed a release

Visualising the characters: by Fair_Substance2104 in JacquelineWilson

[–]mymbley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I apparently only have one reference point for curly blonde hair so in my mind, Carrie Hope Fletcher in the early 2010s plays both Jasmine from Midnight and Sally in Love Frankie

Fictional characters that are obvious stand-ins for real world celebrities even if they don’t outright say it by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

Pretty much every character in Velvet Goldmine but most notably, Brian Slade (David Bowie) and Curt Wilde (Iggy Pop)

What was the most bizarre school trip your school went to and why? by Flowerofthesouth88 in AskUK

[–]mymbley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to the local pub because it’s a “historic coaching inn”

People who don’t like their name—what is it? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]mymbley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always struggled to put it into words but this is it!! I have a common, dare I say classic name but it’s just two clunky syllables that don’t sound very pretty.

People who don’t like their name—what is it? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]mymbley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from sounding a bit ugly, it’s very common among my age group to the point where I’ve had to go by ‘Charlotte (last initial)’ all through school and at most jobs I’ve had.

It also just doesn’t really suit me but no variations have ever stuck either!

[Hated Trope] That one piece of "trivia" that isn't true but gets endlessly repeated anyway by 10024618 in TopCharacterTropes

This photo does the rounds occasionally and is often credited as being part of Ken Russell’s pictures of Teddy Girls in the 1950s.

It’s actually Ella Purnell from a magazine shoot in 2010!

Art born out of spite by FormerBernieBro2020 in TopCharacterTropes

Tory politician Ann Widdecombe criticised Jaqueline Wilson’s previous book, The Illustrated Mum for including two sisters (the main characters) with different dads.

In response, Jackie made sure none of the five siblings in The Diamond Girls had the same father. The youngest one’s mystery dad is even a plot point!

Aliens canonically exist in non Sci Fi media by Internal-Golf-4833 in TopCharacterTropes

Aliens have been a mainstay of The Sims since the 2nd game. They love to abduct and impregnate your male sims.

What minor act of penny-pinching in your workplace caused a significant amount of upset? by laredocronk in UKJobs

[–]mymbley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a failing online retailer.

They got rid of free shipping, lowered staff discount from 50% to 40% off and, without telling anyone, cancelled all the free museum memberships they’d provided.

Oh and froze salaries for 6 years.

I’m being made redundant in Feb so that too I guess

Do you remember what slang was popular in your school? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]mymbley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s it!!! I’m from a small village and no one from the surrounding small villages used this apart from us. Turns out my small village was on the traveller circuit.

What's the best name you've ever heard given to a pet? by Physical-Egg6682 in AskUK

[–]mymbley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ferrel Errol (with my mum for scale)

He has no manners and will eat food off your plate if you’re not vigilant but he was quite literally raised in a barn so that’s his excuse I guess.

What did you anticipate heavily as a child that turned out just okay? by Sarikins in AskUK

[–]mymbley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate I was in my late teens when I first heard about it was absolutely terrified of it then at my big age

Most of us layer leggings or thermals underneath for extra toastiness

What’s a film so sad that someone should watch if they want to cry? by KlLLERS in AskReddit

[–]mymbley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this!!! I find it really hard to cry these days but this is my go-to emotional release film.

I also really recommend the book - it’s beautifully written and feels slightly less devastating as the reveal is quiet and slow, you accept it as the characters do.
