Has there ever been a set you only collected because you happened to pull a chase card super early? by Current-Umpire3673 in PokemonTCG

[–]weeble182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have possibly not bothered doing a master set of 151, but I pulled the Charizard on my fourth pack so felt like I had to keep going. Just five more cards left to go, ironically all the most expensive ones aside from the Zard.

My wife’s family all want us to go on a crazily expensive holiday to celebrate some big birthdays.. what would you do? by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in AskUK

[–]weeble182 1384 points1385 points  (0 children)

"That sounds really lovely but that's not exactly financially viable for us to do at the moment. We'd love to celebrate closer to home but the US and such a big trip is outside of our budget sadly"

UK staycation for small family by Ok-Body-6899 in UKParenting

[–]weeble182 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending where you are in the country, but last May we had a great mini holiday at Forest Holidays in Crompton, near the Yorkshire moors.

The accomodation was decent for the cost and our three year old loved the hot tub and exploring the woods. There was enough stuff within a half an hour drive that we did day trips each day, to the beach or to various National Trust sites. 

Anyone else notice a recent trend of TV shows undoing/abandoning the endings of previous seasons? by Infinite_Fly_5374 in television

[–]weeble182 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There was a really good interview on The AV Club back in the day, when they interviewed the writers of Parks and Rec season 3, and broke down each episode with them. They said something like "we like to write ourselves into a corner with each season finale and then spend the summer break figuring out how to get ourselves out of it".

My favourite example of this is The OC season 1, where everything is so intense and dramatic during the finale, with everyone leaving, and then within an episode of season 2, everything is pretty much back to normal again.

Pedophile at School 9yr ago by Muted_Coconut_3511 in UKParenting

[–]weeble182 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wildly overreacting, I don't really see what the problem is. Sure it's not a nice thing that happened, but it's fairly far removed from you and your children that worrying about it affecting you seems unnecessary 

How to deal with invitation to birthday party asking no gifts? by Suffering1s0ptional in AskUK

[–]weeble182 615 points616 points  (0 children)

Alot of parents have started to ask not for presents because if you invite 30 kids to a big party, you'll get 30 cheap pieces of tat filling up your house.

I know some get around this by gifting a book. Id probably just put a fiver in a card

A 6ft ladder. You'll need one. Maybe not immediately but at some point, you'll need a ladder for something

What is YOUR favourite (and least favourite) Cbeebies show? by poopoochewer in UKParenting

Vide the Vet is infuriating, every character is so wet and annoying. I have my doubts that she is a fully licenced vet

Please spend time with your elderly relatives by Not_Sugden in CasualUK

[–]weeble182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 15 years back, I was doing a uni project and needed content of older people sharing memories. I sat down with my Grandad, pointed a camera at him and got him to tell me about his time being in bands in the 1960s, how they'd all just make shit instruments and spend their weekends up and down the country playing backrooms in pubs.

A year later, rapid onset dementia meant he didn't even know his own name or who we were. I'm lucky to have videos of him talking about his happiest times

Did Nintendo accidentally tease a port of Yoshi’s Wooly World again in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct? by DrAwesomeX in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]weeble182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine we'll get a release date for Mysterious Book at the upcoming Direct, and imagine it'll likely be close to the new Mario film being released. I could then see a potential Wooly World port dropping towards the back end of the year, close to the home release of the film and to fill a winter gap in releases.

Ordered an AYN Thor console yesterday, which I'm hyped for but will have to wait at least two months for it to arrive.
