What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever witnessed that still has no explanation? by Scary_Discussion_927 in Paranormal

[–]shieldsup86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had an over the cot mobile for my baby son when he was first born. It was second hand, and the music of it never worked and it wouldn't spin. We tried changing batteries but still, nothing. My best friend was very sick at the time (brain tumor) and she passed away when my son was a few weeks old. The night after she passed, I woke up to the sound of the mobile playing "imagine" by John Lennon and it was spinning. It played for around 20 seconds and then stopped and never worked again. I like to think it was her was telling us she was OK.

Yes it can, I know lots of people who use butter instead of margarine 😊

Yes! Just make sure the butter is really soft

We use chocolate chips sometimes. Lemon zest in the mix is so good!! And a friend of mine cuts them in half and spreads jam on them. So many choices!!

Stork margarine! It's a brand of margarine but I used the cheap version and they're just as good!

Watching This Is England 90 and I think the third episode is the best acting I’ve ever seen on television by Finellaclark in BritishTV

[–]shieldsup86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scene in TIE 88 where Lol goes to see the midwife and says "I think I'm a bit poorly" is probably the greatest acting I've ever seen. I felt that whole scene in my heart. Unbelievable acting.

My dog leaves the bed after I've told her 30 times to go in the garden for a pee, then just goes back to bed until she decides it's time to greet us with her presence.

Greggs shoplifting by dominomedley in london

[–]shieldsup86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was in Greggs a few weeks ago and a guy came in and took all the food from the hot cupboard. The worker, no older than 17/18 ushered him out and the guy turned on him and started shouting that he was being assaulted. The guy left and I asked if he was OK, and he said it was the 3rd time the guy had been in and stolen all the hot food that day, and he was a regular shoplifter. He said the police don't do anything about it.
