The Union Jack boot-heel is a pretty big hint. I have kitchen ibuprofen and bathroom ibuprofen, does that count?

    If it wasnt for the English flag boots, I don't think I would even have guessed. I wasn't into the Spice Girls.

    It's a Union Jack. So it's only 1/3 Scottish.

    Wales is not represented in the flag by Wales's patron saint, Saint David, because the flag was designed while Wales was part of the Kingdom of England.

    Since there is no Welsh element in the Union Jack, Wrexham's Labour MP Ian Lucas proposed on 26 November 2007 in a House of Commons debate that the Union Flag be combined with the Welsh flag to reflect Wales's status within the UK, and that the red dragon be added to the Union Flag's red, white, and blue pattern.[75] He said the Union Jack currently only represented the other three UK nations, and Minister for Culture, Creative Industries and Tourism Margaret Hodge conceded that Lucas had raised a valid point for debate. She said, "the Government is keen to make the Union Flag a positive symbol of Britishness reflecting the diversity of our country today and encouraging people to take pride in our flag." This development sparked design contests with entries from all over the world.


    Looks nice, gives it some character.

    No idea what this is referencing. But have "purse" ibuprofen, home ibuprofen, and even minivan ibuprofen.

    Why yes, I do have chronic pain and migraines. How could you tell?

  • I sent the image to my partner and accidentally caused her psychic damage by not immediately knowing that this was the Spice Girls too. I was born in '90 while she was born in '85 and I was like 26 when we got together, so we're not that far apart in age. But where that gap falls is sometimes huge for us.

    She's apocalyptically gay, like "Mistook not being entirely repulsed by a boy for having a crush on them," gay. So naturally, she was obsessed with the Spice Girls. I knew of them, but I didn't really start branching out in my music tastes until the mid 2000's. Before that it was basically entirely the Country music my Mom listened to or the Classic Rock my Dad listened to.

    So yeah, this was another thing that I accidentally caused psychic damage to my partner with because of our age difference.

  • I would but acetaminophen does nothing for me and I've got liver function issues largely from being well... large. Doc has told me to just avoid acetaminophen.

    All I can really do is just only take the ibuprofen when none of the non-medication remedies help.

  • Oh is that what this is referencing? I definitely knew of the Spice Girls, I was just never really into them when I was younger. I was one of those kids whose family only really listened to Country music and didn't really branch out much until like the mid 2000s. But when I did I was more into like Linkin Park, Celldweller, and like random DDR and anime music.

    Brits don't actually use spices in their food so they probably couldn't think of any.

    Actually, the names were coined by a writer working for a pop magazine. He based the names on their personalities. After the article was published the names spread like wildfire with the public.

    It wasn't till later that The Spice Girls officially adopted the names. At least some of the members actually hated them. Unfortunately, all their fans were already using them, so the group didn't have much of a choice.

    Same. Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Backpack tylenol, office/desk tylenol, living room tylenol, bathroom tylenol, camping tylenol. I should totally put some in my car now that so many people mentioned, just in case my backpack isn't with me.

    But acetaminophen is Paracetamol

    Ibuprofen is ibuprofen

    Yo, tell me what you want, what you really, really want, I'll tell you want I want, what I really, really want ..... I really, really want some ibuprofen

    I having some now from my desk supply of ibuprofen, but I do also have some garage ibuprofen and some bedroom ibuprofen .... the best part is that I am a big brown long haired Native guy that knows these damned lyrics .... and I'm embarrassed to say I know who all the shoes belong to - clockwise from the Union Jack high heel - Ginger, Scary, Sporty, Posh, Baby.

    I grew up with those sassy bitches.

    I don’t take ibuprofen, but I do drink a lot of caffeine to dull the ocular migraines.

    I have gout, which runs in my family (but I doubt the 90s pints helped). Therefore I was eating Ibuprofen like skittles for way too long to take the pain away. I finally relented and got on the meds after the diet and exercise didn't fix it. Now I never take ibuprofen, and it makes me worry about how much damage I did to my organs and stomach lining while I was using it.

    Well it’s Tylenol in the work bag because I can’t have too much of either in a single day. Also because I don’t need to have that one and a lunch (which I never get).
