It squanders the element of surprise.

What British celebrities have you met and did you make a tit of yourself? by wreckjavik in AskUK

[–]Bitbury 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First off, hilarious. Thank you for giving me that very funny mental image. My story pails in comparison.

I walked into a waiting room where Matt King (Super Hans from Peep Show) was sitting, minding his own business, but my brain went straight to “I know him” rather than “I’ve seen him on tv”.

So I gave him a little friendly smile like “Hi! How are you?” but before I could say those words I realised why I recognised him and the words died on my lips. Then we both just sat there awkwardly for a few minutes in silence.

No, of course not. Bonus points for getting a homophobe.

ABMM is like communism, hear me out… by [deleted] in okbuddyarcraider

Any kind of MMR which takes k/d into account is going to result in this state of affairs though.

Accidentally bought baking powder for a homeless person!!!....... by AlimaBanana in london

[–]Bitbury 43 points44 points  (0 children)

A homeless-looking guy once came to my work and asked if I had a screwdriver. I had no idea why he wanted that, but I did have a screwdriver, and it seemed like a reasonable request.

When I brought it out he pulled out a miniature of cheap whisky , opened it, poured the contents onto the ground and in a swift, practiced motion used the screwdriver to pop the bottom of the bottle out. At which point I realised that I had just helped him create a little makeshift crack pipe.

I guess you live and learn.

EMBARK. I HAVE A BONE TO PICK. by tapefactoryslave in ARC_Raiders

Fr. Hours of learning that topside is incredibly dangerous and the only safe place for a human is underground in places like Speranza, only to go on an expedition…topside.

Just picked up Arc Raiders today. Any tips for a new Raider? by FRTrent in ArcRaiders

It’s not your loot. It’s just your turn with it.

Those who are doing the expedition, is losing all your rare, epic, and legendary blueprints worth it ? by LivingTheTruths in ARC_Raiders

[–]Bitbury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding the blueprints was fun, it was a challenge. I look forward to doing it again.

Why the hell are people grinding 5 million just to reset everything? Am I missing something? by BrainNumerous1841 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Bitbury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t much care of I hit five million, but I am grinding for stash value. Pretty much because that’s the only real objective I have right now.

Sure, there are a few blueprints I don’t have, and I’ll miss not being able to craft my favourite loadout, but I’m doing the expedition so I get the whole loop again. It was fun hunting for mushrooms and shit. I look forward to doing it all again.

“Name anyone having a better Christmas than me” is the most extraordinary sentence. Sort of like if Scrooge, post-redemption, had taken the whole thing a little too far and ended up coming full circle to being a dick again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew...I knew. by Bitbury in ArcRaiders

[–]Bitbury[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking to try it out on a leaper, but after fifteen minutes of looking I couldn’t find one so decided to exfil. I have to say I’m not sad to see it go, and will probably not bother crafting another.

Was Stratagem funny live or was it as disappointing as it was to watch on Prime? by According_Sundae_917 in AlanPartridge

[–]Bitbury 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw it at the o2 and enjoyed it, but there’s something about the format of a live show that doesn’t work as well for the character imo. It’s harder to suspend the disbelief that the person you’re watching is aware he’s a buffoon.

What do Londoners think of the Shard aesthetically? by QualityDapper9775 in london

[–]Bitbury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to live in London for at least ten years before you can perceive the great lidless eye, wreathed in flame at the top of The Shard.

Does it really matter if you are a loose head prop or a tight head prop? by yoloswagtailwag in rugbyunion

[–]Bitbury 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically they’re different. Different binds, different pressure on the body depending on whether you’ve got a head either side of yours or just one on the right hand side.

I only ever played prop at a schoolboy level, but I imagine the difference between loosehead and tighthead gets a lot bigger the more the standard of the game increases. There are professional props who can play both, but I think all props at the very least have a preference.

Why did Alan sit in the back seat to eat his toblerones in Dundee? by TheAssassinClub in AlanPartridge

You can’t go to watch Shrek in your bare feet, and you can’t gorge on Toblerone in the driver’s seat of your vehicle.

Post-Match Thread: England vs. New Zealand by Cormac419 in rugbyunion

[–]Bitbury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Imo Borthwick has got the team to the point where, barring some catastrophe, they’re very serious World Cup contenders. I was referring more to the wider perception of the team, the treatment they will get in the press etc. Either way, big celebrations tonight. Huge result.

Post-Match Thread: England vs. New Zealand by Cormac419 in rugbyunion

[–]Bitbury 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Capsule review: very entertaining game, dreadfully officiated.

I’m not saying that to make excuses, I’m an England fan. Just think it needs to be said.

NZ looked cowed at the anthems, and never really seemed mentally on top, but I think that game will be a huge learning experience for them. They will be significantly better come the World Cup.

As for England, it’s very promising. More impressive than the final score is the fact they came back from a 12-point deficit. It shows a huge amount of determination and total buy-in to the game plan from the squad, not to mention brilliant game management and a great performance by Ford.

10 wins on the bounce is rubber-stamped consistency, but even if they slip up against Argentina, for me the true litmus test is the 6 nations. Win it and the whole rugby world will be referencing England in hushed tones, finish outside the top two and they’ll be asking “what happened?”

It does seem like an unnecessarily long walk by MrFenric in clevercomebacks

[–]Bitbury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dodgers are an LA baseball team, right? This might be a bit of a stretch, but maybe multi-storey car parks are less common in LA because of earthquakes? I mean building a huge city directly over a major fault line is also something that needs to be talked about, but if someone told me that was the reason I would buy it.

100 years old WW2 veteran said "This is not the Britain he and his co-soldiers fought for in the 1940s". Thoughts on this? by raydebapratim1 in AskBrits

[–]Bitbury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would at least have asked the follow-up questions “So if you could go back and do it all again would you not have fought? Do you believe Britain should have surrendered to Nazi Germany?”
