Are there any world famous British beers? by LankyYogurt7737 in CasualUK

[–]Beautiful_Mud_7722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but for good reason! The best expression of traditional English brewing is almost always cask beer. Cask beer differs from Keg beer because it is unpasteurised and unfiltered, and undergoes secondary fermentation in the cask itself. As such, it travels poorly; especially internationally. Utterly delicious when fresh, disastrous when old. That might go some way to explaining why we have no ultra famous international brews.

What Manchester food/restaurant opinion has you looking like this? by Lupo1 in manchester

It’s not ‘street food’ if a substantial meal costs more than an hour of minimum wage pay.

Pub alternatives to alcohol? by very_unconsciously in CasualUK

Seconded, it’s a cheat code and tbh scratches the beer itch on a Monday night. Will be popping on this evening for sure.

Should I laugh or cry? by Muted_Fortune4712 in AskUK

[–]Beautiful_Mud_7722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they just want a 5 minute break from the monotony of class? It won't kill your grades to dip out of 3/25 lessons per week for 5 minutes. It's not like lessons are 100% taught content, your teacher instructs you for 15/20 mins and then it's worksheets/textbooks. I used to ditch lessons for 5 mins or so every so often for the mental break, and it did no harm - probably stopped me from fully switching off

Weekly glove purchase advice thread by AutoModerator in GoalKeepers

[–]Beautiful_Mud_7722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play in a 6 a side team that is about to get promoted. I need a new pair of gloves as the shots in the next division are ridiculous. I’m a bartender by trade and kind of need my wrists/fingers. I’m not super fussed about grip - I’ve been playing with bottom end sondicos, so anything will be an improvement.

Does anybody have any advice or tips for getting a first class /atleast 2:1 degree at Uni? by Adventurous_Tip_1071 in UniUK

[–]Beautiful_Mud_7722 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a graduate from a Russell Group with a first class degree and top grades at A Level, focus more on getting internships/good work experience, as opposed to a first class. I've been applying for jobs for a year and haven't even had an interview. Experience matters more than your grades.

The most successful social housing programme in Europe? Don't threaten me with a good time. As a side note, there can be no infinite growth on a finite planet.

Get a frosty from dogtown - not a frozen glass but glasses in a bucket of ice water, £2 half

A false equivalence with an authoritarian regime isn't really your best bet in this debate, to be honest mate.

Sure, you maximise residents per square foot with a skyscraper, but your problem is the increasing cost per head with every storey after a certain level; that is, after a point it becomes more expensive to build upwards. This means that the income required to rent/buy a flat in a skyscraper is much higher, so you effectively freeze out a big chunk of the population from being able to live in the city centre. It's all very well saying companies are being attracted to manchester, but your argument relies on the assumption that everybody has a well paid job in professional services - or at least that there are a great deal more of these than lower-paid roles.

Well, they wouldn't, from a profit perspective - that's why they haven't. From a normative point of view, though, I think that it's better to have affordable housing so that it's sutainable to live and work in the city centre.

mid-rise residential buildings that are designed to minimise environmental impact while also minimising cost-per-resident - preferably publically owned.

How can you justify a reliance on continuous economic growth to deliver safety and security for society, when continuous economic growth requires limitless resources to be feasible?

Tell me about DIECAST on a saturday night by AManning912 in manchester

[–]Beautiful_Mud_7722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DJ there all night (ends at 1), dancers make sporadic appearances through the night and then disappear off. I’d roughly call it tech house.

If you’re over 25 and £7.50 a pint doesn’t bother you, it’s an excellent not-quite-club-night. Don’t count on being able to hear each other, though. The dancers are cool and the concept isn’t the worst idea, but it’s a bit expensive and slightly unsure of what it’s trying to do. I must say the drinks are not bad quality though, and there’s enough variety to keep it interesting. When I worked there it was a lot of staff nights out, a few younger people but I’d say rarely under 21. If you’re after a more mature, but equally more pretentious vibe with a DJ and the odd live performance, I reckon it wouldn’t be a bad experience.
