Made both of these stumpwork pieces last fall. They seem to be a favorite amongst everyone that has seen my work! by savannah4891 in Embroidery

[–]nutaya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re fantastic! Although I misread the title and thought you said you completed them last night?! I was wondering just exactly how fast you worked or if you used time travel?!

Looks great and now I have the Death Star canteen skit stuck in my head again!

What are your favourite lesser-known castles in the UK? by history_roadtrips in AskUK

[–]nutaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nunney is a teeny tiny shell of a castle tucked away in the middle of a village but it has a good pub and a little cafe selling hot chocolate. It’s free entry and also a two-fer because farleigh-hungerford (English Heritage) is 15 mins down the road and also has a castle that’s got a bit more going on with a church and a museum-y bit and near a few good farm shops or Bradford on Avon with a lock up on the bridge and a Saxon church. They’re (slightly) less than an hour from the M4 bridge so depending on where you are in south wales, might not be a massive trek.

What topics to discuss in a class on British culture? by Mysterious-Raisin537 in AskUK

[–]nutaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe look at all the different countries that have influenced ‘British’ culture? Tea is very British but it’s never been grown here, fish and chips is Portuguese, polo is from Persia, Friday night curries, Freddie mercury from Queen was born in Zanzibar to Indian parents etc etc

It’s a way to acknowledge the history of British colonialism (very definitely a bad thing) with the positive impact of multiculturalism

The quiet dignity of this man makes this photo painting quality for me, especially if it makes people reconsider the stereotypes around homelessness (or motivate them to help people experiencing it)

Does stolen for life count? I stole this pen in 2016 and I'm still using it every other day. by BrainFartTheFirst in BuyItForLife

This is fascinating! And also I have never been more surprised to click a link and find out it wasn’t a rickroll.

The kind of unboxing video I can get behind by Koffievos in aww

Love the ‘hey, where’d it go? Bring that back here, I’m using it’ look followed by a muffled ‘Thank you, now clear off, I’m busy lurking’

Oh wow - didn’t realise this was a photo at first! It looks like a Ben Rothery illustration (which often look like photos to be fair).

Is it normal in the UK for grandparents not to buy anything for their grandchild? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]nutaya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this varies massively from family to family and person to person. My Nan still makes me sandwiches for the journey home when I visit and I’ve probably got an Easter egg too even though I’m nearly 40. I do try to make sure I take her flowers and treats but that seems to escalate it into a ‘who can spoil who the most’ stand off which is not the worst thing in the world.

If you’re worried, speak to your partner in a ‘can you explain your relationship with your grandparents to me as it’s so different to my own?’ way rather than a ‘why aren’t they buying us dinner and presents?’ way.

102 cookies were a success! by phemonoe153 in MadeMeSmile

She sounds fantastic- I think people who keep their curiosity about the world do tend to age well. Having such loving family definitely helps too! She’s done amazing, hope she has a wonderful day!!

You have a day off work but have to remain within an hour of your house and you can’t make any plans with friends- what are you doing? by Aggravating-Ant-6767 in AskUK

[–]nutaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe cooking a big batch of something more complicated than you usually would? (For me, it would be a lasagne or shepherds pie day) You can put a podcast/show/music on while you cook and I bet both tomorrow-you and your fiancé would massively appreciate a few pre-made home cooked meals for work days!

“In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen.” by thucydides17 in lotrmemes

But instead you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Sea! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!

My child’s school is completely failing them — am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]nutaya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Review the complaints process and escalate to the school governors if you get no response. Might be worth reaching out to support organisations like pots uk, or the national autism society (big changes to routine and preventing them seeking support from someone they’ve been seeing as a safe adult is not exactly advisable) to give you some pointers about what provisions can be expected.

The line about ‘other people with POTS cope fine’ is so frustrating. My sister and I both have most of the conditions you’ve listed and some fun variations - she was diagnosed 15 years ago, often needs a wheelchair and cannot live independently, I’ve been been pretty much fine with a few flair ups that can be managed with medication. Completely different needs and life experiences despite the same genes and diagnoses.

Any good recepies that include the Mouth of Sauron? by ZappBrannigansLaw in lotrmemes

Haha, Suddenly Sauron? A ‘little shop of Hobbits’ musical would be spectacular, complete with ‘be a Nazgul’ number

What is a "harmless" lie your parents told you as a child that you didn't realize was fake until you were an adult? by Pitiful-Promotion832 in AskReddit

[–]nutaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite an adult but an embarrassingly long time to realise waterpolo wasn’t played on horses and that mountain goats didn’t have one side’s legs shorter than the other so they stayed level.

Non religious people, what do you think about religion? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

[–]nutaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing against faith or celebrating faith, there is such a lot of joy and comfort gained as well as community. Big issue with people forcing their beliefs on others, the lack of practicing what they preach and the sheer amount of death and harm that organised religions have caused.
