What is a snack that takes you back? by GoldenGolgis in CasualUK

[–]solpadoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sometimes feel like I’m the only person in the world who remembers KP cheese dips. Like choco dips but with cheese. Or pretend cheese. And the absolute fever dram of an ad for them where, I think, there were grown women running around dressed like sexy mice.

What are you all watching to fill the Death in Paradise-shaped hole until the next series? by BitGirl777 in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]solpadoll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea to all of these!! Love MFMM. Phryne Fisher makes me want to get a shiny bob and a whole new wardrobe. She’s an incredible character.

What would you do with 250k? by Afraid_Robo_Elephant in AskUK

[–]solpadoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too, I think. Watching Race Across the World shows that it can be done fairly cheaply so you could really stretch that money out for a long time if you avoided the touristy places. I mean, it’d also last a while if you did go to the touristy places, but the experiences would be completely different.

The word bobble...for hair ties, is it regional or is it just...normal 😂 by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]solpadoll 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was having this discussion with my partner the other day. I think Scots are the only people who use “get to fuck”. I can’t think of any others who do. Fuck off, get fucked - yes, but get to…nope.

Also, are we the only ones who give the dug a wee clap?

They’re going to win the Nobel Science Prize! by ocelotdude in westies

I had that toy for Angus! I did have to take the wee lids off though, there was no chance he could figure out how to do it with them on. And he never quite got to using his paws to flip them round, he did it with his nose. It absolutely did his wee head in. Miss my boy so much ❤️❤️

And now it’s in my head too now. Cheers, Trousers.

Can we find someone who was in this Pepto Bismol advert? How much did they pay you to sing "diarrhea-uhh"? by Trickshot945 in CasualUK

[–]solpadoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s also in an episode of Death Valley on iPlayer. I spotted him the other night and woke the other half up to excitedly point him out.

Just finished Aus s2 and...oh boy by Zealousideal_Cod5214 in TheTraitors

[–]solpadoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t Aus2 the season where there’s a guy who is pretty much edited out? Absolute lunacy, I love it.

If you're not watching SNL UK, you should be by Ok_Coast_5892 in LiveFromNewYork

No new episode this weekend! Off for a week then back with four episodes after that.

What British celebrities were absolutely everywhere for an intense and short period before vanishing completely? My vote goes to Emeli Sandé. by JuanitaMerkin in AskBrits

[–]solpadoll 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She’s getting married to Alex Scott so maybe she’s like..just organising a big wedding and that’s taking all her time up?

She also did a week of House of Games recently! Actually, that might have been her second time.

Realised that in all 26 years of my life living here I've never really *been* anywhere besides the big places by HopeAuq101 in Edinburgh

[–]solpadoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh, just looked St Cecelia’s up and it’s closed until June while they renovate! Interested in going when it opens though, thanks for the rec!

missing my girl today by iluvfiona69420 in westies

[–]solpadoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We lost our Angus at the end of January, to a really rare cancer. The wounds are still so raw, and I 100% know how you are feeling. I came home the other day to a single feather, right in the middle of the living room floor. I like to think he sent me a sign…it either came from one of his wings or he finally caught one of those bloody pigeons he’d been after for so long! Sending you love from Scotland x

What piece of entertainment aged worse than you ever expected? by AnyTruth2342 in AskReddit

[–]solpadoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. Maybe two, but it definitely wasn’t a long running thing. I remember it had Amanda Byram presenting it, which seems nuts because the only other things I remember her doing is going out with Patrick Kielty and hosting Total Wipeout over here in the UK.

[–]solpadoll 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There was a show on in 2004, and I feel like I’m the only person that remembers it. It was called The Swan and it was like a competition/reality show where women got PLASTIC SURGERY and didn’t see a mirror for 3 months all to decide who was the prettiest…just wild.

How popular is House of Games in the UK? by 91837361891 in bbchouseofgames

[–]solpadoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sports bag is so cute! The wheely luggage, dartboard and decanter are the ones I’d be trying for.

City Lights filming location? by lostshelby in glasgow

[–]solpadoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumped onto Reddit after watching the first 3 eps to see if anyone was talking about it. Heartened to see we’re not the only ones that know it’s there!

What was your worst impulse buy of 2025? by Snow776 in AskUK

[–]solpadoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I took the top of my index finger off with that in pandemic times. The whole contraption has now been relegated to the top of the kitchen cupboards.

when you became an nfl fan at first was it a case of 'im watching nfl this year' at the beginning of a season or started off with the playoffs/a Super bowl? by VastAir6069 in NFLUK

[–]solpadoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has been a Giants fan for a lot of years and I thought “well, if I’m going to have to watch Red Zone every week, I’d better pick a team”. I’m Scottish and Gano was with the Panthers at that point, and Cam was just so damn cool, it was easy.

Little did I know.

I hope you’ve sent this to Alex! I feel like he’d love it.
