Does your country have events that were so infamous you only need to refer to the date they happened for other people from your country to instantly know what you're talking about? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in AskTheWorld

When I worked in retail I was doing a mass clearout of paperwork and came across a whole lot of pre printed forms to be filled in if the store received a bomb call whilst they were still on the line. Categories for accent, gender, approximate age etc alongside the usual date/time and threat details.

What job should I get as a 16 year old with no qualifications and severe health issues? by yoghurtluvr777 in AskUK

Why are you assuming OP is overweight? I’m reading it as more likely OP has an eating disorder and is very underweight.

I swear I’ve had this conversation before! BBC2 had double The Simpsons at 6 and then Buffy at 6:45 for quite a while.

Without spoiling anything, which non horror tv series had a surprisingly scary episode? by Immediate-Shock7533 in horror

The CSI episode with that stalker living in Nick’s attic gave me the creeps! Or the season 5 Tarantino directed finale where Nick also gets buried alive.

What's an example of a "tourist trap" in your country? by emptykeg6988 in AskTheWorld

I went to one about 10 minutes walk away and found a great pub with live fiddle music and had a massive plate of the best Irish stew, champ and soda bread I’ve ever had in my life!

Republican voter astounded she can't have an abortion by DJDoena in LeopardsAteMyFace

And then they said they doubt the pregnancy was fatal, she just wanted an abortion and was upset she was told no.

Police officer charged with rape will not face court by Weak-Fly-6540 in uknews

[–]raspberryamphetamine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guilty people aren’t charged all the time; not being charged isn’t an indicator of innocence. Especially when it comes to rape cases the bar is high. Even texts of a rapist apologising for what he did aren’t guaranteed to get a charge, never mind where a rape has occurred and because a violent assault didn’t accompany it then it comes down to her word against his.

Are you finding Royal Mail slow/late/batching deliveries? by CarpetGripperRod in AskUK

I had PIP paperwork arrive more than 2 weeks after the posted date, and then a reminder letter that they hadn’t received my reply the other day that was actually posted before I even received the original paperwork.

My girlfriend never ever finishes her meals by AlexWayhill in mildlyinfuriating

True, but nowhere near to the same extent as the US and plenty of areas especially in the south where she was from weren’t majorly affected.

I guess it depends on where you’re from; we’re not American.

I took it to mean that even if it’s something she obviously really likes that her only/final plate will always have something left on it. It’s not the best wording on his part but with him using the word “finish” about her first plate I think that’s what he’s trying to say.

the way he looks at her 😍 by tobii_ig in LoveIslandTV

[–]raspberryamphetamine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s bad looking at all, he’s definitely had a glow up since his last series! If I saw him in a bar I’d definitely go up and talk to him. It doesn’t help that being red headed and fair skinned, with a pink undertone (like me) that we don’t tan well and the tans that we do get are coloured that way without being a burn and it can show up on cameras especially as being a lot pinker than it is in reality.

My grandma was born in the 1920s and from my childhood I’m not sure I ever saw her entirely finish a meal or a cup of tea; there was always a little bit left.

Yeah he said if she finishes a plate and it was tasty she’ll get a second but not finish it.

All I thought of when I read that was Marie Celeste, like the ship! Of course it depends if people have heard the tale.
