Venison is great but the markup is insane. In Scotland deer are hunted to stop them from destroying entire forests and the meat is sold to restaurants at a loss just so that it’s used for something. Then those restaurants inflate the price massively because it’s “exotic”

I was almost in a car crash once because I clipped a puddle and almost spun through a wall. No it was not a calm experience.

Depends on what I’m going to the Dr for. If it’s a physical injury that’s bearable but not going away I can get an opinion from a pharmacist first then go to a Dr if they recommend, if it’s something like a chest infection or other illness I can call a non emergencies line to get a Dr’s opinion and they might ask me to come in for a physical checkup. If it’s something more urgent than that then I guess just turn up at A&E and probably spend a few hours waiting in triage till there’s a Dr who can see me.

The NHS is really struggling so I try to avoid going to the Dr for minor stuff but most of the time when I’ve deemed it big enough to need to see a Dr it’s been pretty smooth for me. Only time I’ve had problems was when I injured my knee and couldn’t walk properly then got bounced around for months after my x-ray showed that I hadn’t fractured it, I was supposed to get a scan to check if it was muscle damage and when I turned up for said scan they just had a physio therapist tell me I need to walk on it more to exercise the muscles in my kneecap after the swelling from the initial damage weakened them.

“leader of the free world” lmao as if

I used to study animal management and there was a lecturer who wrote his uni thesis on “seagulls” and any time he heard someone call them seagulls he’d shout down the hallway “They’re herring gulls!”

Suffering through I guess? Although just breathing in as much as you can and holding your breath as long as possible is a trick that my mum uses sometimes if she doesn’t have her inhaler on her when she needs it so maybe that?

Yeah afaik it’s only red meat

Most Justin Bieber songs but I despise his early stuff. I heard baby way too much back when you couldn’t escape it

Edit: I thought of an even worse one, pon pon shit from cyberpunk. That song is the only reason bodyheat isn’t my go to station in that game.

There’s an overlap where both are valid for a few months and you can trade them in at post offices and banks but after that period is up it’s just tough luck I guess

Yeah in the UK old currency is fazed out in less than a year. £1 coins changed in 2016 and it only took a few months till the old design was invalid

That’s why old currency isn’t valid after it’s been changed though? That’s why most countries have swapped to plastic notes at the same time as adding anti forgery things.

Roast dinner and cider I think, idk if there’s a more fitting combo for the British countryside

Idk about regular houses but I wish factories were still styled like they were in the Victorian era. There’s a reason so many got converted into offices and apartments

How does the website ask if someone’s over 18 without knowing who they’re asking about? The website would still need to confirm who’s asking for access and then it’s back to the whole ID situation to make sure kids aren’t claiming to be their parents

Bird is slang for woman in the UK and in the Midlands duck is a slang for when you’re talking to anyone

If only Kubica had won in Monaco we could’ve had 2 drivers with the possibility of getting the triple crown

I’ve seen a few people saying that it’s cheaper to buy stuff that’s in season over the years but I’ve never seen prices drop on in season stuff before. Idk if it’s just a thing where I am but the supermarkets seem to just pocket the difference and leave the prices the same year round.

You realise you don’t need to be religious to believe that people deserve a proper burial right? There doesn’t need to be some man in the sky watching everyone 24/7 for people to be buried with dignity
