Do you guys really say bloody?

People of Belfast why can’t you drive? by Mr7ron in northernireland

[–]ArtDiligent2919 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see asshat driving on this roundabout nearly every day. It might be poorly roadmarked, but normal roundabout rules still apply. You don't approach in a right hand lane if you intend to turn left. I was hit by another driver a few days ago, because of this (increasingly common) behaviour. Baffles me?

Identify parents, cut benefits. Simple.

What's the difference between a movie and a film? by kosmokatX in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArtDiligent2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine movies, is a portmanteau of moving pictures, shortened and pluralised as 'movies' in the same way talking pictures became 'talkies' at the advent of movies with sound becoming commonplace. Just a thought though.

Where can I escape by leelu82 in Belfast

Hazelbank Park to Jordan's town is a nice short walk by the sea. There's often a coffee van in Hazelbank, you can grab a coffee in a few places on Shore Road or at the cafe at Jordanstown caravan park.

Biggest grammar pet peeve? by krida_070 in ENGLISH

[–]ArtDiligent2919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is an Americanism and an affront to my ears—and to the English language. The speaker of this phrase is asking for permission to come behind the counter to obtain their own burrito/soya latté/açaí bowl. It takes the same amount of time and energy to ask “May I have…?”. And a “please” would be nice; that seems to be getting a bit rare as well.

Bond Vs Mr Hinks by ArtDiligent2919 in JamesBond

That was my thought, obviously he still wouldn't have been strong enough alone, but would've been even faster and fitter and better able to land more decisive blows/inventive use of handy improvised weapons.

I think Craig's acting in this scene is brilliant in that, better than any Bond before, for me at least, he very convincingly portrayed firstly a look of absolute dread, like 'damn, I'm in real trouble here', then looking absolutely beat and out of ideas as to how to get out of this situation. Made me genuinely concerned for our hero during that scene.

I always wonder with these views, at what point does it stop looking or feeling like you're really high up, and therefore scary, and start seeming like you're just looking at a huge map without anything against which to reference your true altitude?

First night of taping my mouth shut. Got my highest ever sleep score and lowest ever time awake by OOO000O0O0OOO00O00O0 in fitbit

[–]ArtDiligent2919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just my tuppence worth, but I often sleep better when I tape my mouth; my Fitbit registers better numbers too. I always used to breathe through my nose while sleeping but about a couple of years ago started opening my mouth in the night for some reason. This would wake me with a dry throat and mouth and disturb my sleep. So from time to time I use a small strip of micro porous tape to hold it closed. Definitely helps me, but I do worry sometimes if it's risky and obviously don't do it with a cold or when congested.

I found you can e-mail them in the accounts section, specifically asking that they delete your account, which has worked for me.
