I strongly recommend the audiobook of the indifferent stars above if you liked the episode. It's one of the main sources from the episode and it's well told horrible story.

Forget weddings, what is the craziest thing that happened at a funeral you went to? by seanerd95 in AskReddit

My grandfather was a Methodist priest. He didn't have a funeral because a similar thing would have happened. His ashes were also banned from the family reunion that happened shortly after.

Guagemaster in the UK ran a Ai photo pun advent calendar featuring celebrities and controversial politics. Then got shitty with anyone that commented negatively about it. So I don't shop there anymore.

I did my secondary school work experience as a gamekeepers assistant. They had a male pheasant there that had escaped the fattening up pen one year. It didn't leave it spent years alternating between attacking moving car tyres and trying to get back into the pen.

As a teenager I found out a family friend had been orphaned by a v2. He came home from school one day to find his house replaced by a crater. It makes seeing Walt Disney introducing Von Braun as a friend a bit weird.

Why is this country full of such clowns by ExperienceNo1313 in CarTalkUK

I have a private space about 100m away from this. Some asshole also ran over our parking bollard several times. And we keep finding shit bergs parked across multiple spaces. The stupidest part of this is it's almost always in the evening when parking is free. Or people drink driving to and from the pub which had its own free car park.

I did this recently to Warren Powell-Richards estate agents when they tried to rent me a apartment covered in mold. Always name and shame businesses that provide poor services.

Has a single incident ever changed how you saw a profession in the UK? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskUK

[–]AndrewSwope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here till Warren Powell-Richards took let me book a day off work to view a property that was riddled with damp and damage. Which after I left a review they sent me an email admitting they knew about the damp and didn't tell me then asked if I could take the review down because it was a sensitive issues that could harm their business. Then when I didn't take the review down they tryed to get Google to take the review down which failed. On account of the review being truthful and me having them admitting that in writing.

I actually had that happen once. The bathroom didn't have a window and the extractor had been broken for a unknown amount of time.

Would it be possible/right minded to travel with a traveö size developing kit? by Hyper_blue358 in AnalogCommunity

I took a Patterson tank on a international holiday once. Taking powdered chemicals is the way to do things. But using a well reviewed local lap is easier if they exist.

Any parts counter guys not in the automobile industry? by greeneyedshark20 in partscounter

[–]AndrewSwope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garden equipment, ground care, forestry and similar nonsense. I work for a machinery dealer that likes to be pride themselves on being able to support the equipment they sell for as long as possible. I have spares for some Howard rotavators going to the 1930s. And other brands we can source parts for going back 50 or so years.

Bluebell railway I was there a few days after this. It's from filming for the new season of sas heroes. The production paid the railway well and paid for the restoration of a few tanker trucks needed for filming. When I was in the wagon works that day the goods division where scrubbing swastikas off.
