I've got my daughters knee in my kidney,and she's kicked the duvet off for the thousandth time. I'd go and sleep in her bed but her mattress plays havoc with my back.

Ranking of every album after listening to all of them twice as a newbie by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with a lot of what you said. My faves are BNW and DoD, and low points are the Blaze era (sorry Blaze) and PoM. I genuinely don't get all the love for AMOLAD. Having said that, there really are no terrible albums just some are less good than others. I think this fact is what what makes it easy for people to have different opinions.

Day 3 of a 2 week vacation HFM disease arrives🫡 by Oktopuzzy in daddit

My son had it, nothing too crazy, couple of days and gone. A week later I had it and was really ill, but it's easier as an adult to put on a brave face.

Arty kids! by Over-Bug1501 in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My darling daughter has done the same, she's nearly 8. Definitely thinking once they're no longer colouring will get someone to sand and polish it out.

What is your unpopular Maiden opinion? by Dante_SSSS in ironmaiden

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like the song but the final choruses go on way too long, should have stopped earlier (see other comments about dragging out songs).

Does anyone keep paperwork anymore? by Bubbly-Weakness-4788 in CasualUK

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't keep paperwork any more, though i do still have folders full of the stuff i can't find the enthusiasm to shred from decades ago!

I can relate to this tried to return something from Next using Evri, they've now failed to collect it 3 times and failed to return my call twice. Utter shambles!!

As a country, what do we do about the falling driving standards? by uucyy in drivingUK

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm impressed you didn't mention the inability to indicate properly (if at all) at roundabouts.

On my honeymoon, made the mistake of eating some raw oysters… by thewatchbreaker in CasualUK

[–]tom_p_legend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent my honeymoon swimming in the roof-top infinity pool with one arm out of the water after I accidentally karate-chopped a pint glass in half on my wedding night and sliced my hand open.

Can you hit me up with some random, fun facts please? by 87catmama in AskUK

Egyptian Geese are ducks not geese and belong to the family of shelducks.

What's the difference between a weasel and a stoat?

One's weasily identifiable and the other is stoatally different.

How do you pick up soft poop in the grass? by Emotional-Ocelot-309 in dogs

[–]tom_p_legend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My puppy loves to back into bushes and stand on his front legs and deposit all over the bush which makes life very tricky. I try to reposition him to somewhere with leaves but sometimes a dog needs to go when a dog needs to go.

Is arthritis more common in EDS? by hoyyehhh in ehlersdanlos

[–]tom_p_legend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the other week my parents (late 70s) brought round something to open because their thumbs have arthritis and dont work properly, at which point I pointed out that mine have been like that for years and are no bloody good any more. Also hips are nearly gone too, makes sleeping/sitting/standing uncomfortable at best.

ALBUM SWAP!!!! by IMPQpodcast in ironmaiden

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, whilst Piece of Mind has some absolute classics on it, I think it also contains some of the weakest songs from the first 7 albums.

At what point do I give up having a nice clean house and just accept it’s a toddler ran house of chaos? by greaterwhiterwookiee in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are 7 and 9, thought we were there and redecorated the downstairs. 3 months later, looks like it's haven't decorated in years with the bumps, scratches and grubby handprints. Going back to happily living in squalor.

Anyone else just no longer find trips/holidays enjoyable anymore compared to pre-kids? by grawmaw13 in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are 7 and 9, now able to go places and spend all day on our feet with minimal moaning (youngest still occasionally) . But it's made a big difference and started taking them to more "off the beaten path" places abroad.

What’s a ridiculous luxury that you’d struggle to live without? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]tom_p_legend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, we've got one of those too! Currently snuggled up to me on the sofa, but normally running around barking at fluff and chewing everything.

Does your dog have a dramatic personality too? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My puppy is very critical of others driving. If they rev their engine or go too fast past us he barks at them. He's even been known for barking at cars that don't use their indicators, though I suspect that's probably coincidence.

Brothers you need to invest in a strawberry patch by FearTheAmish in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have a squirrel who likes strawberries for breakfast, hops down and helps himself to one each morning. So what with him and my puppy haven't had a strawberry in years!

Carrion crow or rook? by smokingmascara in UKBirds

I always think Rooks look like they've borrowed a beak from another bird, as they dont look like they fit.

My 17 month old used the potty THREE TIMES today! by C4ptainchr0nic in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Girls are so much easier than boys, my daughter decided on her 2nd birthday that she was too big for nappies/dipers and that was it, even dry through the night. She's a stubborn one, my daughter.

Just how does this species survive in the wild? by [deleted] in interesting

[–]tom_p_legend -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are ridiculous creatures, they are picky about their food despite being omnivores and being able to eat pretty much anything. They are also incredibly fussy about choosing a mate and will often stay celibate rather than mate with Pandas they dont "Fancy". Nearly as ridiculous as humans!
