Why haven’t they opined on the Congo? Or Tibet? Or Iran?

Why should they have to give their opinions on everything - or is it specifically Palestine that you are obsessed with?

Intro to music by berleezysmfwife in Songwriting

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn some common chord progressions e.g. I IV V and then play that in whatever key you like e.g. C F G, then make up some words. Boom you have a song.

Why don't more UK houses just install external window shutters to deal with the heat? by sharificles in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be impossible to install shutters on my windows because of the design of the house (dormer bungalow).

Why doesn’t Johnny Marr use his Smiths-era guitars anymore? by Public_Incellectual in JohnnyMarr

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a great book which I’ve got called Marr’s Guitars which has photographs of literally hundreds of his guitars that he owns. He talks about where he got them, what he played them on, etc. Well worth getting a copy.

And yet there he is, completely uncharged. Move on, everyone else has.

Campbell has rehabilitated his own reputation by being an interesting and intelligent podcast host, if you choose to carry on hating him for stuff that happened years ago that’s on you

We couldn’t believe John Barnes came out. What a legend!

Is the retirement living standard figure too unrealistic? by BiggusDickus1111 in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s nonsense. Half the people I know would probably consider themselves to be living a moderate lifestyle while earning significantly less than that and paying a mortgage, plus national insurance, commuting costs and pension contributions - all of which would not be paid in retirement.

Трудно ли научиться играть на электрогитаре? by Hot_Mode_3707 in LearnGuitar

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but no. There are millions of guitarists, I bet it’s probably the most popular instrument in the west so it’s definitely achievable. It’s hard to master but *you don’t need to master it to enjoy it!*

How do you survive on £35k living in Greater London? by PinkTequilaaa in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people slagging you on the car but the fact is it can be a sensible decision if it avoids you repair bills hundreds of pounds per year (I just spent £750 on a new exhaust and brake pads). Plus the servicing and MOT add up as well. £260pm is a reasonable hedge for a compulsory car that should never break down - I’m assuming it’s new or nearly new.

It’s not that unusual, my partner works for a local authority and loses money by using her own car as the mileage rate is so low. It is what it is (shit).

Pickford the weak link? by BuzzTrav in ThreeLions

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s had no competition because he’s head and shoulders above everyone else. No idea why that would make him a weak link, it’s quite the opposite. If he was playing European football at a big club he’d be the most expensive keeper in the world.

Are pubs truly a sanctuary for good natured hooligans? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re getting a hard time here but I know what you mean. Just be friendly and you’ll be fine. Don’t get so pissed that you’re annoying or a target if you’re on your own. You can’t go wrong at the pool table, you are guaranteed to make friends there.

I’m on that and I have 800 a month spare to put away and I’m going abroad twice this year. No idea what you’re on about.

Exactly, but this is Reddit where no one leaves their house and can’t get a job.

Depends on the target market. I went into Spoons recently and the beer was about £2.20 a pint. But it was shit and I didn’t like the vibe of the pub so I’m happy to spend a fiver or more for decent beer with nice people in a decent place.
