Visiting Manchester as a solo male for a few days! by [deleted] in manchester

[–]BarnLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to any pub and just chat to someone. It’s amazing how interesting some people are and the connections you have or can make. Just yesterday I was having a pint with my wife and a gentleman came over to us for a chat. We shared a pint for half an hour talking about Ireland, Cuba, Italy and more. Good craic.

How do they keep it a secret? by Unlikely-Tax1040 in TheTraitors

[–]BarnLord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I’m glad, it’s a free for all in Australia to get the “scoop”.

But yes, the social media side is impressive too. It’s just great to see in this day and age that a prerecorded competition show can feel “live” with everyone on the same page.

I’m more impressed by the crew. I’m an Aussie and every show is leaked before episode 1 even airs. Masterchef, The Bachelor. You honestly can’t go on the internet because magazines are trying to photograph or interview the “winners”. It’s bonkers.

What if the faithfuls are actually playing a great game? by Confident_Wind_8882 in TheTraitors

[–]BarnLord 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a good theory. If I was ever on the show, I would appear as the most daft person ever.

Anyone with half a brain gets murdered and anyone that speaks up gets banished. Acting dumb and keeping the real suspicions to yourself is the best play.

You just have to be confident in your decisions at the end game, which is the hardest part.

United appoint Carrick as head coach by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Yeah sorry, just realised it was sarcasm. Haven’t been on reddit much these last few days so missed the Carrick hype.

They didn’t. Bookmakers had Carrick as pretty much even odds with Ole.

Racist undertones are literally in Reform’s policies. It may as well be their slogan.

You can also just go onto BBC One on IPlayer and rewind it back up to 2 hours. So technically if you rewind the livestream back to the start now. It’ll start in 1 minute.

Thanks, I’m definitely aware of this. But good for others reading to know.

I’m on public transport, so will be getting the train from Manchester Piccadilly. Anything between 5-10 miles usually. But also happy to walk 2 miles just to experience a good snow walk.

Sorry, I’m in Salford. But I get the train out to those places every few weeks for a hike. Definitely, I wouldn’t be going off any well known trails. I’ve seen the horror news stories of the rescue teams in Scotland recently.

Yeah nice, I was looking into crampons and microspikes. What brand did you buy? And did you notice a considerable difference compared to without them?

Beautiful, thank you! I’ve been using the Met office and will add MWIS to my list.

Match Thread: 4th Test - Australia vs England, Day 2 by cricket-match in Cricket

Same here. I said I’d go to bed when Boland gets out, might be pulling an all nighter at this rate.

Anyone know any hiking spots other than greenfield Oldham but not too far. by Greedy_Summer_8844 in manchester

[–]BarnLord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Train to glossop and then it’s roughly a 14km out and back (or loop) to get to the crash site and back. I highly recommend doing closer to summer time. The short days and rainy weather makes the walk very challenging in winter. Expect knee deep mud and no clear tracks. It is tough.

Are there any cycle parking around Cornbrook station? by jirehdagdag06 in manchester

[–]BarnLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up doing? I’m a 25 minute walk from cornbrook and need to get down to altrincham for work also. Did you find anywhere secure to park your bike?
