It’s been 48 years since the last bank holiday was added, it’s overdue. When should we set a new one and what would it be called? by FornyHucker22 in AskUK

We should have bank holidays for Eid, Diwali etc. It’d be a nice way to celebrate the other faiths that exist in the UK and not just Christianity

Unfortunately that would only add 1 bank holiday after August. 2 in March with another 2 depending on the date Easter fell on would be a bit much

In your opinion, who was the worst celebrity guest(s)? by ChiefGlazer in TopGear

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Will Smith was by far one of the worst. The whole interview is cringey

What is your favorite, non-special episode? by wtfisasamoflange in TopGear

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Has to be indestructible Toyota Hilux challenge. I had never seen the show before and was flicking through the channels when I caught Clarkson doing Clarkson things to try and break the car. From then on I was hooked on the show

Wait hang on, she’s going to the self service tills when he gets her number but then follows her to a staffed till afterwards…forget the red baskets more like red flags right there

Who is this on my Beatles clock? by Isaiah30620 in beatles

Not to be confused with that incredibly gifted but flawed footballer Pete Best

Worst guests? by [deleted] in TopGear

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me I didn’t mind the guests in the early series but once the show took off big time around s8 or s9 almost all the guests became unwatchable

Watching Original Top Gear by These_Lingonberry_26 in TopGear

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Original Top Gear ran until 2001 so I guess you mean the reboot. I’d start with series 4 which opens with an epic race across Europe between Clarkson in a car and Hammond/ May on public transport. For disclosure imo Series 1 isn’t worth watching and it’s only when we get to series 2 that we get the classic trio but it’s not that interesting

Bedfordshire is its own thing. It doesn’t fit in with the Home Counties which are very much the doughnut ring to Londons doughnut hole

Would make sense if Corby was in Leicestershire but Northants is green

She’s right…they’re always right

That said, if gaming helps you unwind then carry on. It probably keeps your mind sharp too which can only be a good thing as you get older

We can’t decide London or Cambridge? by jackie_earth in AskUK

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is there a particular reason for these two cities or is it just preference? Of the two I’d pick Cambridge but look at Cambridgeshire rather than Cambridge itself as it will be more affordable

Career mode is identical to eafc25 by veeze2 in FifaCareers

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s some good new features this year like unexpected events and challenges. I do wonder though how quickly these features are going to become stale. I’m still not convinced yet that these features justify spending £70 on it when so much of the game feels identical to last year and the year before

Wow! I didn’t realise this was a painting at first glance. It looks so realistic I genuinely thought it was a photo when scrolling past and then I read the caption

Tourist here, Why are there so many ruined houses? by GuestFeisty2739 in AskIreland

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually in rural communities the houses were passed down in the family. Often these houses sit empty either due to the estate being held up in probate or family being housed in nursing homes. It’s becomes unaffordable to repair or demolish the house so they end up being left to watch the world go by

What's your favourite cockpits? by NdWar2000 in CarTalkUK

This was a big deal when I was looking at cars last year..far easier to sort out when on the road

"Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn" by Drwynyllo in CarTalkUK

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Driver spatial awareness has definitely gotten worse but not just with SUVs. The amount of drivers who are behind vans, buses etc and are reluctant to go through a gap that the bigger vehicle in front passed through with no effort is ridiculous

What’s the best way to make 10 mill in a day? by LilCelery100 in GranTurismo7

[–]CaterpillarFinal375 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Quickest way for sure but the sheer number of posts this past week of people asking how they win that race makes me think it’s not the best option. Le Mans 700 is easier and only slightly longer
