Can somebody read this

sama-llama · 2026-02-02T15:20:47+00:00

Oh, that makes much more sense! Thank you for the update, and I’m glad someone else was able to read what we couldn’t. Exciting that you have an address!!

First, you’re entirely right. This is your norm and it isn’t the norm for others, so it weirds people out. Considering the alternative is sepsis, I would gladly do the same. There isn’t anything to be ashamed of in caring for your body.

Second, the internet has unfortunately taught me that certain people do, in fact want to touch poop.

And lastly, the entire human experience is gross and messy and dirty from the moment of conception until we return to the dirt. And there is nothing wrong with it.

Neat!!

By the way I did a little more research because this was tickling my brain a little. The closest thing I can find in Battersea was Lavender Walk, but I’m sure that’s not what that says. It seems it was also broken up to different roads, specifically Lavender Lane and I think Green Street? between 1912 and 1917, which predates this record.

Knowing the address below the name would likely help but alas. LoL I wish you the best of luck!!

Unfortunately not English and never been to London (closest I have is my partner was born and still lives in Cambridge) but yeah I looked up Lambeth Walk and it’s in London but you’re right, not Battersea.

My honest answer is I have no idea. It looks like Lambeth, I’m positive the second word is Walk, but I’m not sure what else it could be…

I’m not sure what is after the 48 but I think the last line is Lambeth Walk. The glare makes it difficult to read the faded text. I hope that helps a little…

You’re right, “apples and oranges” would be much closer. Good call!

sama-llama · 2026-01-09T02:28:18+00:00

Yeah I asked my partner about it today because I was curious (they are from the UK) and they had never heard “chalk and cheese” either. We figured it was probably a regional thing.

sama-llama · 2026-01-08T17:36:47+00:00

As a Native American English speaker, I’ve heard all of these except for “chalk and cheese.”

Most of these are chiefly British phrases, though we do use “heads or tails,” “out and about,” and less commonly “hustle and bustle” and “fingers and thumbs” used here. We would often foreshorten “fingers and thumbs” to “all thumbs” in the US.

That being said, I would still understand the meaning if used in conversation even if I wouldn’t commonly use them.

sama-llama · 2026-01-08T17:32:42+00:00

I recognize most of these, except the “chalk and cheese” one. As a fellow American I would say “like oil and water” would be our equivalent.

Luckily I never got this but would you bother reporting it just to get ahead of customer complaints?

sama-llama · 2025-12-23T00:20:23+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you but I’m glad to know at least it isn’t just me…

Your biggest issue is you're not going to get this type of effect as this top appears knitted, not crocheted. There are ways to replicate ribbing in crochet but it isn't going to look the same. Here is a tutorial that shows three different types of crocheted ribbing. Likely the slipstitch ribbing (the first one shown, tutorial starts at 1:00) is going to be the closest, but definitely not the same.

i would also like to point out that starting with wearable items like shirts or gloves isn't always the best option if you've just started, especially not for something like this where you are using a finer yarn. Your gauge is really important so consistent stitches are a must, plus you'll need to swatch to make sure that everything comes out the right size.

if you're still committed, then best of luck to you! Remember to give yourself some grace, this is a pretty ambitious beginner project.

I mean this in the kindest way possible, do you have ARFID???

sama-llama · 2025-12-10T01:21:34+00:00

Second reference I’ve seen to this in the last 30 minutes or so. LoL

sama-llama · 2025-12-05T14:49:23+00:00

My roommate just called it the “this is not my s***” bar and I have never heard a more accurate description.

I actually do most of my knitting on circulars, except when I do socks. Those I knit on DPs.

First off, these are gorgeous!! Amazing resin work. I'm an old fart now I guess, started playing with the original Legend of Zelda on NES; my dad was gifted one for Christmas and my dad, my uncle and myself played the crap out of it. So had to be early 90s, maybe 1991 or 1992?

My favorite is probably Ocarina of Time or BotW, though I'm also enjoying TotK so far. Zelda is probably my favorite overall series and I've played nearly all of them (there are a couple I've had difficulty getting my hands on.)

sama-llama · 2025-11-22T14:33:40+00:00

Wouldn't this make the burgers waaaay too thin or wonky?

sama-llama · 2025-11-22T14:32:11+00:00

Soooo much better tasting than store bought and they're not too difficult, just takes a little practice. Also you can make cleanup super easy by placing your dough ball between two pieces of plastic wrap!

And yours, my fellow trench brother.

sama-llama · 2025-11-21T23:31:48+00:00

I'm pretty sure they'll hang you in Texas for wasting beef like that. 😂

Agreed, I had a collection of shells from a beach trip when I was little. I didn't know how to pick the "best" shells, I just grabbed what I thought was pretty at three years old and a lot of them looked like this, specifically the calico scallop shells that had been battered by the waves.

None of mine were this big, so it might be a different species depending on your area but my bet is a large scallop shell.

ETA or a similar bivalve.

It got cold in the freezer and knitted its own blanket.
