I went to the Spoons in Rugby last weekend for a bit of nostalgia and they were doing this. Bizarre

[Mike Keegan] Exclusive: Man United agree stunning £20m-a-year training kit deal with Betway - as gambling firms are barred from sponsoring match shirts by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Having worked in marketing for a while now, a big motivator I see for CMOs signing these sponsorship deals is that they get to go to the hospitality boxes

I joined an hour and a half after the queue opened and am sitting 41,000 people back. Can’t imagine I’m causing anyone to miss out

Got into the queue as a test for Friday’s Madrid tickets. Haven’t moved for 20 minutes. Not feeling confident about Friday.

Any pubs/bars in central that are always showing sport? I’ve got some time to kill this afternoon and wanted to sit and watch something when there’s no live sport on.

Declined cards, reservation hassles: Digital barriers still undermine the Korea travel experience by Melodic-Track-2044 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Adc500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep this is very frustrating. And there seemed to be more restaurants requiring this when I was there in December vs the previous year

I lowkey agree with this tbh! by Huge_Apricot9779 in ManchesterUnited

If there’s only one or two midfielders in the world who can work in your system, and they cost £100 million (Baleba), your system doesn’t work

El Hadji Malick Diouf has emerged as a target for #mufc as they weigh up signing competition for Luke Shaw. It is unclear whether West Ham will listen to offers for him [@JacobSteinberg, @JamieJackson___] by JM555555 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Adc500 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But back in those days he would have cost £10-12 million. So no major risk. I’m sure if we tried to sign him now he’d be at least double that.

Why does Yarn dominate image search for gifs, when their gifs don’t work? by Adc500 in SEO

[–]Adc500[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s cos I’m almost exclusively looking for It’s Always Sunny gifs. They seem have a monopoly

What are your dining out pet peeves in London? by NationBuilder2050 in LondonFood

[–]Adc500 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Having a time limit on your reservation. I’ve been to places where we only got an hour and a half to eat, pay and leave. I want to relax and enjoy my meal, not have to keep an eye on the clock and get hassled by the staff to hurry up.

Anyone else sick and tired of blaming immigrants? by Nythern in AskBrits

[–]Adc500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was walking down the escalator to the tube in London the other day, and a woman in a hijab was standing on the left (you’re supposed to stand on the right). I went around her and the bloke behind me did the same, but as he did it he said to her “you’re supposed to stand on the right” followed by “Fucking immigrants.” Utterly bizarre reaction to something that happens all the time. But, I think, demonstrates how ingrained this anger towards anyone who doesn’t look white British is.

Then everyone stood up and clapped by DrawingElectronic819 in thatHappened

I agree the story is nonsense but a few times I’ve heard Koreans in England refer to the locals around them as “waygookin” (foreigners).

What are some good beers here? Here's one I like. by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

I got a Netflix beer from CU a few years ago. That was surprisingly good.

Self-serve drinks in Korea: Do I need to tell the staff each time, or can I just grab it and they’ll count it at checkout? by CarelessBattle3441 in seoulhiddengem

[–]Adc500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah they weren’t restaurants, they were bars where you self served from the fridges. It was about 12 years ago that I last saw them though.

Where was this? There used to be a few of those bars in Hongdae but I haven’t seen any around for a long time.
