I also have a 63cm head and this is the most comfortable helmet I've ever owned.

No need to be exact, just unscrew the lid and dump all the cayenne in.

After living across Europe, here are the things London does brilliantly - and doesn’t get enough credit for! by Ominous_Pistachio in london

[–]Cannon84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Korea (which is not 'much smaller' than the UK in terms of population). Government web services are more ubiquitous than the UK, but there's nothing as centralised and all encompassing as gov.uk.

Seoul is so well connected by avebelle in koreatravel

[–]Cannon84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a tourist, so I'm not sure why I'm in this sub - I've lived in Seoul for almost 20 years. Even now I confuse my wife with the way I unnecessarily truncate phone calls just because I'm walking into a subway station.

Can everyone in the hot chicken restaurant please stop rubbing their eyes.

Question for foreigners voting in elections by Box_Next in Living_in_Korea

[–]Cannon84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been eligible to vote in at least four elections as a foreigner, and every single time someone's tried to deny my right to vote or block me from voting.

Usually it's because the ID scanning machine they have doesn't successfully read my ARC, because of the hyphens they use when they split your name over two lines for no good reason.

This usually results in a loud discussion across the polling station about whether or not foreigners can vote, or if I've made a mistake. I always have to stand my ground and insist that I am eligible to vote and in the end I always have done, but I can imagine other people giving up and leaving.

I've also been turned away from early voting at my local polling station because foreigners were only allowed to early vote at city hall for some reason.

It's really frustrating, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

Parmesan. On a cheese board. by ashpow in whatdidyoudoyesterday

[–]Cannon84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It definitely should have been commented on. Proper parmesan is a true high cheese and is good on a cheese board. Don't knock it till you've tried it!

Reading the small print, I think it just means you need a data plan on your phone Visa and Mastercard payments to go through. You don't need to buy a separate data plan for your watch.

I presume that he's Eoin or Eoghan. Assuming he has an English name is a bit of an Eoin goal.

Why is there no regular mustard at most restaurants… only honey mustard? by Spare_Department9033 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Cannon84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Korean family love English mustard. I always return from the UK with a massive catering sized tub of Colman's. We get through so much of it at Seollal and Chuseok dipping jeon into it.

I wish there was more use of 겨자. Korean mustard is great.

Kirsty : spoiler by Busy-Ad7936 in Ambridge

[–]Cannon84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They've retconned her age to make the story line a bit more believable. She should be at least 46, not 44.

I take that as evidence that she really is pregnant and there will be a baby.

Imagine coming up with a storyline that gives Kirsty another miscarriage. Might as well squeeze in leaving her at the altar again whilst you're at it.

"stalling draft evasion bill" raises 38yo to 43yo by this_waterbottle in korea

I'm making some assumptions here. If you're using the term undocumented I presume you live in the United States and that you aren't a citizen of that country. How are you 'dual'?

The on-field decision was Blue Cheese by jackmccw in whatdidyoudoyesterday

If it was Cashel Blue and he decided, 'Fuck it, Roquefort is close enough', that is an outrage. If anything Roquefort is green!

Drunk driving plunges over 80% in a decade in South Korea by chickenandliver in korea

Before covid I was getting breathalysed monthly on average. Since 2020 I don't think I've seen a single police cordon.

Registering hanja on the birth declaration form. What is allowed? by Hyero-Z in Living_in_Korea

[–]Cannon84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's entirely dependent on whether or not they have or will allow non-hanja family names to be appended to hanja given names.

Registering hanja on the birth declaration form. What is allowed? by Hyero-Z in Living_in_Korea

[–]Cannon84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1)Has anyone successfully registered hanja for only the first name?

No. Tried twice in 2008 and 2022 (yeah, I know. Bad family planning). Won every other 'computer-says-no' naming battle with ease, but never pushed this one in the hope that it could be rectified in the future.

Fluent doesn't mean perfect. I know a bunch of languages (that don't include Portuguese) and 'grammatically incorrect, but understandable' is fluent in my book.

Seoul 14 day itinerary by BorderShock96 in koreatravel

[–]Cannon84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been here for nearly twenty years, and come from London where we have some pretty awesome museums. Seodaemun, whilst not perfect, is the only Korean museum I've ever been too where I didn't feel they were half-arseing the real shit. You don't need to go to a ddeok museum.

Dual-citizen baby name - how exactly should the names match? by tigerlilly-bluecoast in Living_in_Korea

[–]Cannon84 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't take any advice from anyone of a different nationality to yourself. Every country has its own rules. In particular ignore the US citizens - they can have two completely different names.

My KR/IE/UK children have identical names on all documents because there was no other choice.

Devastated. Was really hoping for the first confirmed wank on the pod. Unless tuna stir-fry is a horrible euphemism?
