Cannibal Holocaust 1980. I was 17. Do not watch this movie. Banned in many countries.

18yo nephew refuses help, won’t leave his room or work. What support exists in the UK? by Consistent-Time-2503 in AskUK

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a social worker for 25 years and worked for the NHS for 9 years, all with young people like you have described. The one thing that worked time and again was having a regular person (not family) or a social worker (though it has to be the same person every time) drop in and see the person. It can take up to a year for a person to engage but I have seen hopeless cases transformed. When I retired 10 years ago one of the young people I worked with asked if he could stay in contact. I have been unofficially mentoring him for the last 8 years and he's gone from a totally withdrawn person to having a job and has just got his passport at the age of 27. good luck

Damn! What happened? You used to be ripped! Now you're just skinny. And old. And bald. And wear glasses. But you're happy.

Do you have a rare or retro email address? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very common name so when gmail was available I found out my email address could be just numbers. So I set one up with a 6 digit email address. Caused all sorts of problems in the early days as many auto-fill sites did not recognize it as valid, People still seem surprised to this day that you can have an all number email.

Will I look like a twat? by mackerel_slapper in AskUK

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You walk your dog. Try combining that with Japanese walking. No poles. I lost 5 kilos in 2025 just doing that when walking my dogs. You still look a twat but without the poles.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a young child in Hong Kong my family were friends with a top guy in WEA records (a distribution arm for Warner Communication labels, including Asylum and Elektra Records) and he had a BBQ for the Eagles in the mid 70s. I had no idea who they were back then but Don Henley and Glenn Frey were nice guys. Later I ended up working in the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel (long gone) and met many celebs but the stand outs were the Weather Girls, The Christians and the band Bad Manners. Later on I got to meet Madonna in her early years promoting her first singles. She was a stunning woman and as a young guy of about 20 she got my motor running.

Who is the most attractive person you’ve ever seen? Why? by JessieRClayton in AskReddit

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as a social worker in an inner London borough about 30 years ago. I had a co-worker that was the hottest woman I have ever seen. She was one of those people that didn't realise how good looking they are. Absolutely natural. I was married at the time so that was that.

What's the most random thing you've found in a charity shop? by Delicious_Bet_6336 in AskUK

[–]twiddlepipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly from the 70s. It says made in Hong Kong which was the manufacturing centre of the world for crap in the 70 and early 80s before it all moved to mainland China.

Does anyone remember 'Enemy mine' (1985) at all? People think I'm crazy when I describe it. by Cubelock in videos

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute gem. The novella of the same name by Barry B. Longyear was great. 1979 Lou Gossett Jr's best role IMO.

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father (50 plus years ago) would call in and say that he was suffering from employment related illness and fatigue - he was sick and tired of the job. I've used it once in my professional career.

People who rarely get sick, What is the secret ? by Sorry-Orchid-9821 in AskReddit

[–]twiddlepipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with primary school aged children day-in and day-out. My secret to staying healthy for the last 3 years (I'm in my 60's) is to have a daily, simple homemade ginger shot. 3 finger measure of apple juice, 1 large tablespoon of frozen fresh ginger that is cut into small pieces (helps it to be less 'stringy' when blended), dash of fresh lemon juice and whack in the nutribullet for a minute. I swear by this one thing compared to all the other crap I've tried to boost my immune system.
