AIBU to think it was Italy and Italian that the man was speaking, not Portuguese? Anyway, all of the Continent is the same place as it’s... the Continent, innit?

AIBU to think that nobody in the history of the world has ever said ‘piss it’?

AIBU to say "Where the fuck is my fucking coat?" in front of my little brother and sister?

My son recently lost his mother. I thought he was distraught with grief. However it turns out he just fancies a girl at school who is moving to America soon. AIBU to not find this odd, to encourage him in this fruitless endeavour and not try and get him some bereavement counseling?

Some creepy mate of DH keeps taking photos of me. AIBU to demand he goes NC with hem?

Thisnamechanger · 06/01/2019 11:53

AIBU to think it's slightly unfair that the American girl who's mother is a professional performer stole the show at the DCs Xmas at when my DC only got a part as 3rd prawn and had to sing a crap song with no backing music. I dont even understand why the incredibly talented daughter of an American star goes to primary school in Wandsworth.

... to complain of tinnitus having been blasted by the trombones behind me at my mates' wedding? Though to be fair I do give the musicians credit - they sounded impeccable having not tuned up beforehand.

CaptainCabinets · 06/01/2019 13:55

AIBU to have a big KNOOOOB?

I'm the Prime Minister of the U.K. AIBU to think I shouldn't just walk out of departures at the airport with regular holiday makers?

CiderBrains · 06/01/2019 14:08

*arrivals not departures

"I dont even understand why the incredibly talented daughter of an American star goes to primary school in Wandsworth."

I expect she went to St Basil's? According to Natalie's mum, all the schools were participating "including St Basil's, David"! So presumably StB was meant to be an exclusive fee-paying primary.

AIBU to think that my bereaved friend's new girlfriend looks EXACTLY like Claudia Schiffer, even though she supposedly isn't despite the real Claudia Schiffer existing in our universe?

TheRhythmlessMan · 06/01/2019 14:34

Isn't the new gf the real CL, @RCohle ?

GnothiSeafton · 06/01/2019 14:38

Yes! There was a joke at the beginning of the film at the funeral, that his late wife made to him before she died about him dating CS after she'd died.

BlancheM · 06/01/2019 14:41

The CS thing perplexed me aswell 😂 she clearly exists in Love Actually world as she's referenced but then when they meet at the end, her character has a different name...but it's HER

RCohle · 06/01/2019 14:43

No, the women he meets at the end, played by Claudia Schiffer, introduces herself as Carol.

But we know from the funeral scene that Claudia Schiffer does exist in the Love Actually universe.

So "Carol" is just her creepy doppelgänger and everyone thinks that's totally normal.

Fluffyears · 06/01/2019 15:09

I think the arrivals bit at the end is after Christmas. Jamie brings his fiancée home, Colin brings some girls bs k from America, the sleazy singer had a new girlfriend, the body doubles got engaged, Alan Rickman has been away probably to give his wife some space andnrhe PM had been away on business and Natalie is now his girlfriend.

Fluffyears · 06/01/2019 15:10

Oh and the little singing girl returns for a holiday? Or is back to stay in England?

AlbertWinestein · 06/01/2019 15:14

I have a question! When it’s shown on UK tv, do they still show the “porn” scenes? Because in the US, they don’t. Which ultimately makes you think half the scenes could have been deleted and it wouldn’t make any difference.

Neverender · 06/01/2019 15:15

This LagerthaTheShieldMaiden totally.

It's a steaming bag of shit.

LittlePaintBox · 06/01/2019 15:18

AIBU to be annoyed that I couldn't get into my friends' wedding because all the available pews were filled up with random instrumentalists?
