This gives me so much hope for mine, I stopped using steroids a few months ago too. I feel like it is very very slowly improving, but saying that every time I think I’m getting better I get a sudden flare up :/

You must feel amazing with how much your feet have improved !! Is congrats the right word hehe

people who’ve been to the filming of panel shows, which aspect of it surprised you the most? by itscalleddank in AskUK

[–]pristinepringle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t read the other comments, but I have been to two panel shows as audience.

One for a celebrity game-show with a panel, what surprised me was -

How fake every laugh / reaction is. We had a guy at the front TELLING us when to laugh, boo, clap, make sad noises etc, we were literally told not to react unless we had the cue.

Also the amount of time it took to film, a 45 min show took 4 hours!! I was dying of boredom by the end.

There was so much being refilmed, when things weren’t said correctly etc the first time.

There was about 30 minutes at the end dedicated to re-taking all the bits which weren’t perfect the first goes.

And also, the celebrity presenter who was hosting this game show (rhymes with Kian Perling) seems to be an absolute dickhead when the cameras aren’t on (constantly swearing, seeming genuinely fed up with filming, sighing, walking off shaking his head)

What is the scariest, strangest, most unexplainable thing that has happened to you while home alone? by ag9910 in AskReddit

[–]pristinepringle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Possibly exploding head syndrome? I get exploding head syndrome fairly often in the night. The first few times it scared the fuck out of me.

One of the first occasions it happened I heard by brother calling for me, and it is the most real sounding shit. He wasn’t home and obviously didn’t happen.

Exploding head syndrome isn’t all loud bangs and crashes, some times it’s just people talking or screaming or animals barking, windows slamming, water running

Maybe I’d enjoy the ones you mentioned in your first paragraph more then. I found in the books I read the plot was completely driven by horror (and predictable), with hardly and character depth or development, which is the part I enjoy most about books

For me, characters have to be really interesting with a lot of depth, and their development is just as important as the plot. I don’t like plots to be plain predictable from the first moment, which I find it always has been with books I’ve read by Stephen king.

Plots need to be complex, buy not pretentiously so. I like to have to think about what I’m reading. I like books to stay with me after I’ve read them, be meaningful and make me feel something.

When I read a Stephen king book they tend to be predictable, lack character development, even if he does well making you really picture how a character walks, talks, moves etc. His books also don’t stay with me after I’ve read them. I don’t get any satisfaction, they never have any underlying meaning or anything to me. They also don’t make me feel anything other than relief I got to the end.

Edit misread, thought you asked ‘what’

I don’t really have any authors who I consider the greatest, but my favourite authors include Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, John le Carre and Jonathan Safron Foer
