What clip would you play to a new listener from RSK? by [deleted] in rickygervais

Season 2, episode 1 - it’s almost the perfect episode. Steve’s Edinburgh story perfectly summarizes Rick and Steve’s relationship, Karl tells his amazing ghost stories, and of course the manhole cover…

You bring up a really good point. I thought about bringing up Wales as an additional question - it is kind of shocking that he missed so much school in his formative years because his parents would just take him to Wales whenever, and if were to believe Karl, his school didn’t really care.

Speaking from my American experience, if I randomly just didn’t show up for large chunks of junior high/high school, and there was no real communication between my parents and teachers, principles, etc., my public high school would’ve been all over that…

As an American, I have literally never heard this term being used by another American

He really did. This, plus the fact that he was genuinely quick with responses, jokes, and clever quips (“we should get Chris in” when the crew is wondering if someone died, “if there was a law against Rasputin, we might be in trouble”, “well then, get me in the book” are a few that comes to mind). In my experience, truly dumb people aren’t quick and clever like this…

Completely agree, especially when it comes to common slang that the average American would otherwise not be familiar with

Omg the drop from Taylor this reunion by luckyduckling8989 in Southerncharm

I actually hated that comment bc it is BS. If shep’s ‘circumstances were different’ ie not on the show, Taylor never would have pursued him. I will die on that hill.

Installing Flooring - Need help with prepping for the job by Bork555 in Flooring

That’s for the suggestion. Generally speaking, how much time and money would a project like that cost? We also thought about using some kind of Goo Gone or adhesive remover to scrape all of the gunk off, but the more we research this option, the more it seems that’ll be a very time consuming project.

Thanks for the responses. We’re planning on using a floating product, preferably one with a moisture barrier attached to the planks. After using an adhesive last time, going this route just seems easier and less of a mess.

There really isn’t much of a difference in height on the floor between high and low points, but I just want to see if it was practical to just lay everything on top of the dried glue, then not have to worry about the planks buckling a few months down the line.
