If it wasnt for the English flag boots, I don’t think I would even have guessed. I wasn’t into the Spice Girls.
That’s the Scottish flag.
It’s a Union Jack. So it’s only 1/3 Scottish.
It’s not even correct, the diagonal red stripes aren’t offset
Union Jill if it’s on a lady’s boot.
And 0% Welsh
Honestly why there isn’t a tiny dragon in the middle I’ll never know
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.
I hate their stage names. Baby, Sporty, Posh? Why tf didn’t they use actual spice names? Ginger was already there. Why others weren’t called Cinnamon, Pepper, Clove, and Nutmeg? Fucking Brits. 😤😡🤬
Cardamom is the #1 spice and wasn’t taken at the time even
They’re all Old Spice now.
I’m on a horse
Brits don’t actually use spices in their food so they probably couldn’t think of any.
Indeed, they use them steeped in hot water.
It’s true. Few of their dishes are known to curry f[l]avor.
Curry spice would be a phenomenal spice girl
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.
They really missed out on Pumpkin Spice.
The Union Jack boot-heel is a pretty big hint. I have kitchen ibuprofen and bathroom ibuprofen, does that count?
What are you doing in the bathroom to make you need ibuprofen after?
Getting ready for bed. Laying in which will make me too stiff and unconfortable to sleep without an NSAID (or sometimes a SAID) onboard.
Easy. Spice Girl 1, Spice Girl 2, Spice Girl 3, Spice Girl 4 and Spice Girl 5.
Is that going clockwise or counterclockwise?
Yes.
◴◠◷
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?
If you wanna be my lover!..
… you gotta bring me my meds.
Omg that’s so good!
Make it last forever!
Soon I’ll need Depends~!
Winner of the thread.
hehehe!
You just need some Spice in your life Girls.
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 Wannabe in possession of minivan ibuprofen.
The minivan was my clue
If you arent allergic, you should aleternate between ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Its easier on your guts (hypermobile chronic joint pain gang)
I’m not convinced acetaminophen is a drug. It might just be my problematic caffeine addiction but a can of pepsi is usually a better headache medicine than Tylenol.
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.
No idea?! Are the spice girls so old and unknown?! :(
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.
Uh, excuse you, it’s car ibuprofen.
I have all three!
Someone spell this out for me. What’s the connection between Spice Girls and Ibuprofen?
Getting older and recognizing a dated reference.
Age of the person with them.
I think you mean purse paracetamol and home paracetamol
I’m guessing this is joke about US vs rest of the world,
But acetaminophen is Paracetamol
Ibuprofen is ibuprofen
If you’re old enough to recognise the shoes, ibuprofen might give you heartburn and you might actually carry paracetamol around instead
Ok, that one I didn’t know, then the original comment makes sense.
I have truck, bathroom, bedroom, work drawer, wife’s purse, wife’s car bc/goodys powder
Migraines suck
Do these generic painkillers even do a lot for migraines? I thought tryptamines were what helps most people
I unfortunately am not on prescription meds for it. I have tried a handful of some from friends with not much impact. I really need to get back to the doctor and to find something that works.
Not much. And for me, triptan side effects are nearly as bad as the migraine. Nurtec is the only thing I have really found effective.
I want Sporty Spice to peg me.
Do we have a best of Lemmy community, or a star board? This needs to be put on the internet fridge
I’d let any of them peg me
Hi, I’m Peg
I mean, yeah, but Baby Spice would be my choice.
However, I do think Sporty would do a better job and would probably hit me with a frozen kipper without me having to ask for it.
Purse Ibuprofen, Backpack Ibuprofen, Living Room Ibuprofen, Bathroom Ibuprofen and Bed Shelf Ibuprofen. Still can’t ever find it when I get a headache, ugh.
I consider you lucky. NSAIDs are a forbidden fruit for me.
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.
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.
It’s my car ibuprofen and antacids , my work ibuprofen and antacids , and my home ibuprofen and antacids thank you very much.
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.
This is the way
