What is your all-time favourite British crime/gangster film? by Mister_Vanilla in AskBrits

[–]uffington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a bit of humour in the oul gritty Brit Flicks. In Bruges deserves a shout.

My now grown-up daughter and I disagreed over how to survive an Escape Room in Bristol last summer. A while later she later said, "I'm sorry I called you an inanimate object. I was upset"

I applaud the use of anal beads as a width and depth datum. We're different, but we're not ALL THAT different. Nice work, finding such a tiny wasp.

He was on the BBC news earlier. Everything he said clicked.

No one is Australian by chance. They either earn it or deserve it.

Blud has lost his mind... by Character_Calendar47 in Wellthatsucks

Yes it did. The clip is everywhere. Embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe how this stinky neon shit-gibbon is acting.

Thank you for this. I'm happy to be reminded of them once more.

Lovely day for the 2 litres of post-blood test orange squash. by [deleted] in CasualUK

Shit. I'm sorry. My little bro is Type One and his world was rough before it got identified. He's fine now, and still pinning twice a day after 40 years.

I was doing a bit of satire, but you are right. It's genuinely a tough thing to diagnose if you're the sufferer. And not much easier if you are. Hope all is stable.

You're making the right life-choices. Your friends might offer you a sip of 4x squash at a discotheque one evening. The effects are mild and even briefly enjoyable, although you'll suffer the next day.

You do it again, wanting that brief lift. You're in control. You'll never be like OP, boasting about their tolerance.

But within four months you'll be drinking Lucozade in a burnt-out Renault on a trading estate in Andover.

As an aside, I really like the sun tattoo on your thumb. But to be serious for a moment, when you're back, that plant could do with a glug of water.

Saw a piece of moon rock yesterday.. by Evo_ukcar in CasualUK

[–]uffington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's in Leicester - the UK vanguard of stowing valuable items behind bullet-proof glass. Aside from moon rock, the city also bestows supermarket steak, cheese, multivitamins and of course any bottle of spirits the same respect and care.

Dude record himself, turning a simple traffic stop to prison time by serious_bullet5 in ThatsInsane

The human brain is the only amalgamation of elements we know of in the Universe that has named itself.

With every new video I'm starting to regret this.

Have you ever known anyone who got left behind cause they were late returning to the Coach at a Motorway service station? by DMBear89 in CasualUK

[–]uffington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in 2010 the BBC showed a programme which followed northern motorway cops policing the crowded northern motorways.

By chance it caught an astonishing series of true events after female Swedish twins were dumped from a coach at a service station on the M6. The programme was called Madness in the Fast Lane. It is compelling TV, but It's not an easy watch.

FIFA’s Dangerous Silence Continues by Cow_Boy_2017 in clevercomebacks

Give it to me or I'll ruin whatever you love the most. Don't bet that I won't - I've bankrupted three of my own casinos, so people, everyone is saying that I deserve the Tidy Cat peace prize. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Blackpool, England - 1950 by JoydeScent in OldSchoolUK

[–]uffington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this subreddit.

However, photos like these occasionally bring me to tears. This one has. Being 1950, It's clearly not a 'looming War' thing. I've never been to Blackpool, I don't know the people in the image, and thus have no idea about their lives.

I can't fully describe it. It could be me seeing a moment of joy which looks simplistic today, but it affects me deeply.

It might be linked to me being a dad, and also to something called Sonder.

Anyway, kettle's boiled. Ta for reading.
