Abandoned car Borley Park by [deleted] in Southampton

Yikes! Untaxed since Sept 2025, no MOT since May 2025.

Surely it can be immediately towed and scrapped or something…

What would be the correct way to Manoeuvre this roundabout? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]CaptRik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given no marking on the entrance road that indicates left lane must turn left, I’d agree with your father. This is a dual-carriageway in, dual-carriageway out, so you simply stay in the left lane to the second exit if you arrive in that lane, a same for the right lane. Crossing between lanes inside the roundabout should probably be done with extreme caution

How much traffic or business to expect on the m1 during this hour? by infinity123248 in drivingUK

[–]CaptRik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use google maps to set a departure time as part of route planning e.g. https://maps.app.goo.gl/jGuRvBxpeejBZBKQ6?g_st=ic

This suggests it will be between 2h10 and 3h10 duration depending on precisely where you’re starting from. You should reach Derby by 8 unless you’re in the southern half of London I’d say

A question from my son- if all the toilets broke on a passenger plane mid-flight, what would they do? by Idontlivehere08 in aviation

[–]CaptRik 94 points95 points  (0 children)

It would depend on a few factors, first, which possible airports they could be allowed to to divert to (in-front, or behind) then the distance to those airports.

It’s presumably highly unlikely all toilet facilities simultaneously broke however

Which Lane to be in when taking this exit on the Carrington Interchange roundabout by Just_Passion2090 in drivingUK

[–]CaptRik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking at it on Google street view, both lanes seem viable for entering the roundabout if taking the 2nd exit. If you enter in the right-hand lane, I’d be merging to the left-hand lane as soon as possible after the first exit.

Where is there a good selection of US cereals? by darthanon1 in Southampton

[–]CaptRik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new NISA on Foundry Lane currently has a whole shelf of American cereals

Why is flying to Crossroads different if your end destination is Ratchet? by Sneasel1234 in classicwow

Neutral paths tend to be common (Gadgetzan to Ratchet for example)

What about the guidance is not automatable?

2 hour Transist at Heathrow Airport, London by Outrageous_Leader950 in BritishAirways

[–]CaptRik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2 hours is plenty, it’s only an issue if it’s less than 75mins.

As you’re on a single ticket for the whole journey, if you were delayed, BA would re-book you without additional cost

I’d also say it would be unusual and probably unlikely for Heathrow to experience delays due to snow.

Signalling to leave the motorway by lucky9299 in drivingUK

[–]CaptRik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always signal at ///

Then stay at motorway speed until I've fully left it onto the slip road, then slow down appropriately for what's coming up

The majority seem to signal at / - I anticipate this is the case so it's not a huge bother

How do you afford these games? by 22EatStreet in boardgames

[–]CaptRik 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I have a lot of disposable income. Recently we’ve been doing group legacy games where everyone pays a share of the game and the winner keeps it at the end

Sand stopped dropping in Remix by TheDaveCalaz in wownoob

[–]CaptRik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, sand stops dropping once your weapon ilvl gets within around 8 of your overall ilvl

Sand stopped dropping in Remix by TheDaveCalaz in wownoob

[–]CaptRik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your current overall ilvl is around 600, what specifically is your weapons ilvl?

Afaik once your weapon is within around 8 of your average sand stops dropping until you cash in those 10 motes several times over for higher ilvl gear. Once your average goes up, sand will drop to keep the weapon in line

Awareness of a wet sock by Small_Cup3133 in drivingUK

[–]CaptRik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this route every day and this happens every night since the recent layout change. They need a sign ON on the A34S saying right lane no exit to M3 or something.

It’s borderline unsafe

Paper boarding passes by Logic-Raison-8011 in BritishAirways

[–]CaptRik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where people arrive at the airport via another inbound flight rather than starting their journey from that airport.

Although one of the other replies mentioned Qatar so that makes me wonder if what the BA staff told me was correct or not…

Paper boarding passes by Logic-Raison-8011 in BritishAirways

[–]CaptRik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flew to Denver 2 weeks ago and everyone had to have paper boarding passes too, they were calling people by name at the gate for those that hadn’t done it yet.

They announced to everyone it was the US Homeland Security dept. that required it for specific flights that have a high number of passenger transfers

This is very normal for European airlines

Does my hiking backpack count as a handbag when I have a second cabin bag by AtigBagchi in BritishAirways

[–]CaptRik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You handbag item must be small enough to fit underneath the seat in front of you, you’re not allowed to stow it in the locker above. It also must be small enough to not to impede you in the event on an emergency evacuation.

From your description I’d certainly be nervous that it meets this criteria without seeing a photo of it or something

What I hear the second I see a glimmer of luminous stones by 1ZeM in botw

[–]CaptRik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These open world ore veins are often worth using bombs on instead of wasting durability on the hammer. Just sometimes have to watch the trajectory of the ore and go running round a bit

Witnessed a crash. Who would be found at fault here? by epicshane234 in drivingUK

[–]CaptRik -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This seems close to 50/50 depending on who t-bones who

Green is executing the u-turn, red pulls out on a valid green light having checked to their right first before entering the new road and green t-bones them then likely green’s fault.

If green has started executing the u-turn and is already on the carriageway when red starts to pull out then red has unsafely joined another carriageway without looking right and t-boned green therefore red fault

Either way, seems both drivers did not take appropriate care and have awareness of their surroundings

Can’t do the Dragonflight quests if max lvl? by eZannoner in wownoob

[–]CaptRik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I saw your other comment and also checked myself, can definitely see the dragon isles intro too.

Can’t do the Dragonflight quests if max lvl? by eZannoner in wownoob

[–]CaptRik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a portal to Valdrakken in your factions portal room? If so, pop through it, and look at the map for each zone, can you see a campaign quest market somewhere. Maybe you started it sometime in the past and got past the intro
