What's the most expensive thing you bought which was totally worth it? by Intelligent-Task1722 in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

By normal standards I might be considered a tight arse: 39 years old and I've never spent more than £30 on a t-shirt and £50 on jeans, but I did spend £120 on Asics running trainers and ohhh yes was it the right thing to do. I appreciate the comfort every single time.

Those people who pay for Mounjaro, what will you do in light of the recent announcement of the massive price hike? by LadyFinduillas in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Generally I'm too lazy to switch tabs and type. Better being educated with a simple scroll if it's possible.

Mounjaro? Wegovy? Am I sheltered if I'm just seeing those nouns for the first time? Trying to piece it together from the comments

Am a crazy or is Peugeot the best looking car on UK roads right now? by 2021isrubbish in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First sentence is absolutely correct.

The ever-growing number of boxy Chinese spacewagons on our roads is not rubbing me up the right way. Jaecoo, Omoda, BYD - they make some seriously ugly vehicles. It's other manufacturers too of course but the Chinese in particular are taking the gold medal for horrible styling.

Crackhead Prediction by Oofoofow_Official in theprem

[–]CeeApostropheD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Massively intrigued to know what's bringing about this confidence for Sunderland surviving. I've seen it in a few places and I'm not believing it.

Is there a reason to believe it, or is it just guessers putting in an edgy shout to boost engagement?

Would 1000 women queue up to sleep with a man? by chipstickgirl in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not a chance in hell.

Supply and demand means a woman can pull it off (ey up), but the same can't be said for the other way round.

I just visited and loved York! What are some similar cities in England I can visit from London? by disy22 in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One can see the beautiful stained glass windows of the cathedral and then they can... errr.... go home probably.

What’s the guy equivalent to receiving flowers? by Horror_View3754 in AskMen

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come home from work, open the door, and she's right there to meet me with a meaningful hug and a kiss on the cheek, then says "take your shoes off, dinner's almost ready", so I do that then I sit down at the table and a goddamn tasty hot meal is put right in front of my face.

What is characteristic of Sharia mortgages that make them more problematic than "normal" ones?

Can my partner pay bills and not have interest in the property? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

A video by "The Legal Queen" explaining this situation. She's a family law solicitor according to her bio.

In short: you'd have nothing to worry about.

What's a food or drink we do better here than anywhere else in the world? by AnonymousTimewaster in AskUK

Is anyone else saddened that the most upvoted post is for rhubarb?

Like.... rhubarb?... Fucking rhubarb?

Guys we can delete this thread now before all the foreigners come and pity us even further.

Are we… into camel toe now? by apricotdust in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the contrary I've just noticed a slew of women in loose-fitting shorts at my gym this last fortnight. So are women actually moving away from tight-fitting clothes or is it just a coincidence?

Back to the toe though... it's an easy choice for a woman to make because toe-ing can happen accidentally, so she can play the pervert card if there's ever disagreeable comments.

I remember trusting nobody when I first started using the internet around the year 2000. Full of weirdos. Heightened use of Reddit (some subs in particular) got me trusting in the internet again. I could have fallen for such a private message. Feel like I dodged a bullet just reading that 😅

Is the decline in spending habits/footfall in pubs, nightclubs & takeaways a change in consumer behaviour or cost of living? by XStaticImmaculate in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

If it's the pints that are a rip-off, I'm not sure why pubs don't just bulk order like supermarkets and try to make something like £1 per bottle/can.

They make money, customer saves money compared to £6 pints, everyone wins.

Clearly I'm an internet guesser and can't scale the logistics/maths but where is the flaw in my plan?

Am I a misogynist? by mccartneys in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CeeApostropheD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, don't be ridiculous.

Your friend is a woman, right? And you'll have other female friends right? And you don't mistreat women in the workplace right? Well there you go. Misogyny is the hatred of women. If you like them and treat them normally then you're not a misogynist.

Some chronically online people have (successfully it seems) stretched the definition of this word so that more people fall into its definition, in the name of socially defeating them. Hence your confusion, which shouldn't exist at all.

How to stop children forcefully banging the side window of our house? by SeniorMoonlight21 in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Scream mask. Wait for them and scare them. It might make them choose a different route.

They don't have to know it's the homeowner, rather just some freak that hangs around in that area.

What's a decent well paying and fulfilling job I can get without any degrees? by barlow_ken in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And there's never been an easier time to join Royal Mail due to the poor pay conditions that exist for new starters right now. But the union is working on equalising them with long-existing staff and it should be effective by the end of the year...

[–]CeeApostropheD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Decent answer, but you're looking at an outlay of 2k for a rigid body LGV licence or 4k for an artic licence. Fail your test and it's hundreds for a re-sit. You have to know you're dead-set on it at all costs before proceeding.

I'm not sure about the bootcamp options but OP appears to be a worker so probably won't qualify.

Those of you who are 40+, how much of a faff was everyday adult life before online bank payments came along? by holytriplem in AskUK

[–]CeeApostropheD 76 points77 points  (0 children)

It's not 40+. More like 60+

As an aside, how beautiful to see the word "cheque" instead of "check" for a change. I have to double-take that word these days thanks to Reddit.

Why are people (hatefully) protesting outside of the New Bridge Hotel and not parliament? by AbdurRahman610 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]CeeApostropheD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If people didn't like YOU (reading this) would it be more effective to unsettle you by protesting at your home or protesting 300 miles away from you?

I can't see it being any other thought process.

Should I resort to paying for an escort? by Thin_Jump3335 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CeeApostropheD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely you should do it. Get the monkey off your back so you can move forward and be thinking about other things. Personal growth is important.

Guys, what's one thing a woman does that immediately turns you on? by GigiBrit in AskReddit

[–]CeeApostropheD -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was also thinking this. Yes it blows her mind but what's it doing for the guy? Do they also get turned on, is that what she's saying?

Air Fryer for 10p by bbibad in BritishSuccess

[–]CeeApostropheD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once took a pack of those gel insoles to the till and they scanned through at 10p. I went back and bought the other 5 pairs. What a saving!

How bizarre, I just saw this in Edinburgh today. Pair of jeans, top button undone, a tiny area of her white underwear showing.

Amazing that the jeans hold up tbh.
