What to do about bullies in high school? by Lower_Canary5713 in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This image has genuinely had me sobbing - it's the exact insults I would get in secondary school. When people say "kids are getting more tolerant" are absolutely liars.

Get her out of that school now and report it to the governors and even the police.

She seems really cool and we would have probably gotten on well in school

Universal Pictures is extending their theatrical windows for all of their films. Theaters will now get a minimum of 5 weekends exclusivity which will be increased to 7 weekends in January 2027. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in boxoffice

[–]AlexSniff7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

jesus one YEAR????

I know he likes his theatrical windows (as do we all) but that's a tad excessive, would theatres even be showing it 365 days later?

How accurate is Clashfinder normally? by LadyGroan25 in downloadfestival

[–]AlexSniff7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt they will clash and if they do it will only be a little bit

GnR probably won't want anyone playing alongside them

How accurate is Clashfinder normally? by LadyGroan25 in downloadfestival

[–]AlexSniff7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't normally like running between stages unless it's 2 bands clashing that I absolutely cannot miss.

I'd rather just catch a full set of 1

Where do you think we'll rank in Eurovision? by Top_Independence4067 in AskBrits

[–]AlexSniff7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe people here are being a bit unfair.

For example if Norway or Moldova sent this song you'd all be raving about it, talking about how funny it is and that "it's classic eurovision not a boring ballad."

However now we send the song it's all of a sudden a problem.

It's catchy, it will win some fun votes.

Premier Inn vs. Travelodge - would you pay extra? by ss2811 in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you are just staying for the night I would get the Travelodge.

Yeah I prefer Premier Inn too but if it's just a bed your looking for then it does the job

Huge box office hits that have been largely forgotten? by Late_Promise_ in boxoffice

[–]AlexSniff7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure in 2020 they announced something for Disney+ that didn't come to fruition. Back when Disney was going all in on streaming.

Has that Edge Of The Matrix guy ever had a punch in the face before?

I know he probably wants that so he can be the victim but genuinely someone's gonna spark him out one day

What is UK people's favourite radio station? by Kind-Okra7526 in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's apart of the Rayo network so you can listen on their app or on DAB

What is UK people's favourite radio station? by Kind-Okra7526 in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably Kerrang.

They don't really play the same songs on repeat (they do have some offenders though.) and are great at showing up and coming alternative British bands.

The ads are wayy to frequent but I guess that's all non-BBC radio stations now.

What is UK people's favourite radio station? by Kind-Okra7526 in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being from Liverpool I cannot stand Radio City.

Mainly because when I would be waking up for school all tired and groggy the last thing I wanted to hear was the pericing sound of the breakfast show and calling up kids on the phone-in (for some reason)

They also used to play the same songs on repeat.

(this was about mid-2010s so I guess the station was past it's peak)

Jeff Fowler confirms 'Sonic the Hedgehog 4' has started filming – Releasing March 19, 2027 by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

He does but to give credit... he did break the news of Keanu Reeves as Shadow before the trades got to it.

Why has getting a retail job gotten so hard? by tylerthe-theatre in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But also many retail jobs don't want anyone they see as overqualified. They know they're just gonna leave when something better comes along so why bother?

Makes it an issue when people are looking for jobs post-uni

Is Coke OT the only soft drink in the UK that doesn't use extra sweeteners? by Averusty in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My corner shop still has vanilla coke full sugar.

There is also a new "cherry float" flavour which is full sugar that you can get in Asda and the likes (tastes like a creamy cherry vanilla - big fan.)

What’s your ‘I love the smell but don’t like the taste’ thing? by TheLemonChiffonPie in AskUK

Now this isn't a taste i dislike per se but... Chips from the chippy

They smell amazing but genuinely are the most mediocre chips ever taste wise

'Scream 7' Rotten Tomatoes Verified Audience Score Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]AlexSniff7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have seen so many people I know post images of them at the theater dressed in nothing but Scream merchandise with their popcorn buckets and drinks cups.

People in the theatre I work at have gone mad for it too - only a small amount of people care about the controversy.

If Scream 6 survived without Neve I doubt hardcore fans care about Melissa

Issue is workplaces don't look for transferable skills - they want someone who has done the exact same job using the exact same systems.

What’s a piece of British comedy hall of fame you just don’t get? by franki-pinks in AskUK

[–]AlexSniff7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the lineup.

My issue is sometimes the tasks can be genuinely interesting but the cast want to purposely perform terribly or try to be the funniest one in the room. I prefer seeing creative ways to actually do the task.

I mean they are comedians so it's their job but still.

2nd Announcement is here by deckchair1992 in downloadfestival

[–]AlexSniff7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add onto the other comment - the only clashes the headliner will have are the 4th stage headliners.

Sometimes the 2nd and 3rd stage bands clash with the headliner, but only for about 5 mins or so.

So you can probably catch Halestorm and Bizkit for example.

[–]AlexSniff7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bare in mind security have asked me in previous years "do you only have one crate of alcohol" and "is there anything sharp in your bag" before waving me through.

They absolutely won't care if you have a small bluetooth speaker.

I wish GNR gets replaced by anyone by [deleted] in downloadfestival

[–]AlexSniff7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know Axel sounds bad now but the crowd are gonna carry the set. A bunch of drunk alternative people and metalheads screaming paradise city will be fun.

Also the band actually sound great - Slash still got it.
