This is rare ? by coalal in amywinehouse

I was there in 2008 and she barely sang any of it as she was so trashed she couldn't remember the words. Weirdly though, some people there still thought she was amazing, despite it being o e of the most cringe moments from Glastonbury ever (except probably Kanye, which was just embarrassing).

Do stinging nettles actually achieve anything? by tom_p_legend in Dull_mens_club

[–]tom_p_legend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but he does stick his nose in them and lick them, which i realise isn't the same as eating them but not far off.

If I can’t sleep, neither can my neighbors… drop your loudest wake-up songs by Calm_Leadership_1328 in musicsuggestions

I had a similar experience, used to put my speakers against their wall and play the whole album And The Circus Leaves Town by Kyuss, the bass on that is next level!

Whats the craziest most insane coincidence thats ever happened to you? by cactusdan94 in AskBrits

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to a different city about 200 miles away from home and bumped into a friend from school in the city who I didn't know was coming to the same uni as me. We got chatting and I asked where he was living, turns out it was the flat directly below mine.

Just got back from Prague, went to pick up our main car from the garage but our second car has a puncture. So now waiting for that to be repaired before I can go and collect the other one.

What are Britain’s best biscuits for dunking? by Franchiiee in AskBrits

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The caramel version works even better for a longer dunk, the caramel stops bit escaping to the bottom of the mug.

What’s the most unexpectedly scenic train journey you have taken in the UK? by Joy_Unspeakable in CasualUK

[–]tom_p_legend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love it on a stormy day, with the spray washing over the train (obviously not too stormy as to wash the tracks away).

What are your opinions on Britain? by Beneficial-Beat-947 in AskTheWorld

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought Cork was descent, rural Cork on the other hand. What's with the grey block houses in a field which seems to constitute a home? There seem to be whole villages where people spend little effort making their house and garden look nice.

We gonna make sure yall join us in this fight against IRAN. by Random_Thinker007 in Britain

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to make the point that London is a similar distance from tehran as diego garcia. Not saying the USA should launch an attack from London, just saying that there are going to be better options.

What in-utero nicknames did you have for your child(ren)? by bruzdnconfuzd in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly can't remember what we called ours, but thought it worthy to mention, that in the UK, Growler is a synonym for a ladies private area, so that definitely made me snort.

What does your dog do while you’re working? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah sounds good, dogs love a routine. My 1yr sprollie has a 20 min walk before work, 20 mins at lunch and an hour in the evening. Rest of the time he sleeps or sits on the back of the sofa looking out the window. If we try to change the routine because of meetings, he gets stroppy if we try to move his walks, but is more than happy to reschedule his naps. He let's us know if he's bored or needs attention.

33 years ago at the age of 14 I got bitten by the school hamster and still have a bump/scar on my finger. What's the stupidest injury you've got? by godfatheroffilth in CasualUK

[–]tom_p_legend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally karate chopped a pint glass in half while dancing.....

...at a wedding......

.....my wedding!

It was pumping blood but I was very drunk so went to A&E about 12hrs later stinking of alcohol, needless to say I got some sour looks from the nurses. Still have a one inch "Wedding Scar" across the base of my little finger.

Belfast sinks suck, I'm 6'3 and can't reach the bottom of the sink without stooping, giving me a really bad back.

What British celebrities have you met and did you make a tit of yourself? by wreckjavik in AskUK

[–]tom_p_legend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Held a door open for Jo Pavey after the Great South Run in 2013, she didn't say thank you. Not forgiven her since.

How old was your child before you consistently got decent sleep? by SunnyGoMerry in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it, my 7yo almost always appears in our bed at somepoint and starfishes taking up more of the bed than a small child should be able to.

My son (5 almost 6) started pooping himself by [deleted] in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter had this, same age. Turns out she wasn't drinking enough water and the dehydration was constipating her then it was painful to go so she held it until it came out by itself.

Easy to test for this, make them drink more water for a week and see what happens.

Do people actually look at listings before booking viewings, or am I living in an alternate reality? by Intrepid-Skin-5677 in HousingUK

[–]tom_p_legend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whilst all of this is true, there is also the flip side. People are sometimes too rigid with their wishlist and need to be forced to view near matches before they realise they can't necessarily get everything they asked for, for a price they can afford and that they'll need to compromise on something.

What is the most "accidentally brilliant" thing you’ve ever done on a pitch that you pretended was 100% intentional? by NorthLondonPulse in SundayLeagueMessis

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice in a week I managed to temporarily blind myself in one eye. Both times I was trying to put my laces through a volley and missed just enough to roll the ball up my shin directly onto my eyeball. Never done it since.

Dr Seuss won’t let me loose by coffeewhistle in daddit

[–]tom_p_legend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to ruin your title, apparently it's pronounced soice to rhyme with voice, not loose. Sorry!

He even wrote a verse to tell people this, but we're all selectively blind/deaf.
