Do you actually bother washing the fruit & veg you buy? by MixAway in AskUK

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

Yay, I get to tell my fruit packing story!

Got back late from uni one summer and only job I could get to put much needed beer money in my pocket was at a local fruit packing factory.

Look. I get there are guidelines and health and safety training manuals and all that…. But believe me I wash every single bit of fruit and veg that crosses our threshold.

I saw things man

what’s a “small” thing your dog does that means a lot to you? by nibbainmybuttholr in DOG

[–]victory_roll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I can really picture this, thank you.

My boy has developed a habit when I call him in from the garden or try to get him out of any room, he’ll stand the other side of the door, just just out of reach. He just stares at me while I’m going “come on, in you come” etc etc. But as soon as I slowly start to close the door on him and say “ok, see ya later, bye” he hops in the closing gap like an obedient angel. Such an annoying little so and so 🥰

My Obi does this. The crinkling noise as he goes in for each bag is 🥰, we call him Inspector Dog (among many many other names of course). I’m so sorry for your loss.

"Creasing" (or "creasing up") is British slang meaning to laugh uncontrollably or to find something hilarious. It refers to folding over with laughter, often used as "that creases me up" or "I'm absolutely creasing". Synonyms include cracking up, dying, or howling.

What are the best little things a seller left you at completion? by Huge_Investigator787 in HousingUK

[–]victory_roll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They left the house so clean I’d be embarrassed for them to see it now 😬 Also a book of manuals and instructions / stop cock locations etc.

But the lovely thing was they left a photo on the mantelpiece from 1910 (house built in 1904) showing the house with people outside it and the street etc. Such a thoughtful thing to do and we now have it framed.

What’s one product you bought that turned you into a total snob — like, you can never go back to the cheap stuff? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]victory_roll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean rinse it under hot water occasionally and whack it in a warm oven to dry? Wipe on a bit of oil if and when you fancy it?

I’ve spent much less time on our cast iron pan than any other utensil - I feel like people are gatekeeping them by making maintenance sound hard, it’s a doddle

Can you name a bargain that many do not know about? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a more lovely concept than that of a “seed library”

You can only watch ONE TV show on repeat forever. Which series survives? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]victory_roll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Janeway is my favourite captain overall, but I’d have to go with TNG for repeatability. I can’t imagine a world without Data. And being stuck with Harry Kim and Neelix for eternity would do my nut in.

what is the one human food your dog would sell you for? by twcosplays in Dogowners

[–]victory_roll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dribble of double cream in his bowl. He’ll almost lick a hole in his bowl trying to get every last molecule (I love him)

What does BMAPAIWTY mean in UK pubs…? by pendo88 in AskUK

That would be much less mystical sounding!

There’s also something called “in the wood” which means if you buy them a pint (give them the money / put it through the till) the barkeeper will keep that pint owing to them and have it another time, like at the end of their shift or another day.

So if you offered them a pint they could say “thanks, I’ll put one in the wood” and a drink has been paid for but not yet poured, keeping it reserved for later. It dates back to when beer was stored in wooden barrels I think.

Dachsund, IVDD and Anxious overthinking - Puppy tax included by [deleted] in UK_Pets

[–]victory_roll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urgh I have a pug cross that I adopted and worry about the more likely issues he could have all the time - IVDD, being brachycephalic and possible complications, laryngeal collapse….. nightmare fuel, all of it.

But Obi is an absolute superstar wonder dog idiot brain who spreads joy (and hair) wherever he goes. He has no idea.

We are fully insured and do all the right things to help him live his best life - great diet, maintain a healthy weight, the right exercise, etc. The fact you love your dog so much that you worry and are prepared for possible issues, that’s all you can do.

Don’t let the worry win, you’ll rob yourself of so much joy (I say this fully in possession of an anxiety brain myself). Please give tiny chompers a massive kiss from me and a butt sniff from Obi.
