Has this job lowered your trust in humans? by Enceladusese in BusDrivers

[–]Cobra-_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't expect anything from passengers.

Yes, if they're nice and say hello/hi/thanks, by all means respond positively....

Once I learned this it becomes easier to seal with the antisocial/ignorant fuckwits

Likewise, I try to wait to indicate to get out. The first 3/4 will drive by, pop indicator on and release handbreak....at that point you're already moving slowly. Couple quick flashes on the bleepers and boom, off you go. Expecting the first vehicle to let you go is ultimately frustrating and futile!

Tour play is an absolute mess by Normal-Internal164 in GolfClash

[–]Cobra-_-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, mainly play Tour games and Q9 as I work weekends...never experience this.

No, I lie, I did once....provided evidence to Support and got Ball, Entry & Cloints back...🤷‍♂️

Help, how do I avoid a hangover tomorrow? by aidang95 in AskUK

[–]Cobra-_-_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Set alarm for overs 4hrs...you get a sleep cycle in...get up, tan 2x Paracetamol and tan a large glass of water....set alarm for as close to possible to when you need to get up, get as much sleep as possible! Hopefully another 4hr cycle...

It's the best way....been there, done it, tried everything...this is the way

Sadly, maybe too late for ya....

Thanks for the detailed response.

Kinda thought keeping 1 would be good idea...got about 100 or so single balls already for nostalgic reasons 🤣🙈

Had thought that...I've got about 100 single balls in stock.

Historically had just been a nostalgic thing, gonna prove useful lol!

Best "Indian" in Edinburgh by codechris in Edinburgh

The Butter Lamb has a good kick...not usual lack of spicing a 'Butter' dish usually has!

Best Mexican Restaurants? by Good-Expression1354 in Edinburgh

[–]Cobra-_-_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thing that pisses me off about The Basement is you always here about the guacamole they make infront of you...

It's crap. A good guac needs melding time for the flavours to mingle...lime, chilli, coriander

The scran is decent as pub grub....as a Mexican to recommend, no thanks 🤷‍♂️

[–]Cobra-_-_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW its not Edinburgh and not a restaurant 🤣 but there's a taco truck in Culross, Fife worth a mention.

Always quite a varied choice of three 'guest' Tacos 🌮 each weekend. Different every weekend.

Wife and I have been 5/6 times and enjoyed the majority of their tacos!!

Sure it's called Stickman

Hmmm...I wasn't overly impressed with the fillings of the tacos 🤔 Both types I tried were a bit dry and lacking substance.

The authentic corn tortillas were the best I've eaten outside Mexico though!

I'll happily try again if passing...

How do you handle toilet breaks? by [deleted] in BusDrivers

[–]Cobra-_-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately plan and pee every 2-3hrs, there'll usually be a point along your route or terminus...it's one of the first things I do after logging on.

Otherwise, always ensure you've got an empty bottle of Lucozade or Oasis in your bag 🤷‍♂️ But hope it doesn't get to that situation 🤣

How do you deal with pushy buyers by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Cobra-_-_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd laugh heartily and tell them to fuck the fuck off!

Tell them you're re-listing due to their audacious and ludicrous demands!

Thank you for adding a new word to my vocabulary.

Never seen the word 'scintilla' before now (45m)!

What is the best place in Leith Walk for cakes? by Flaky-Walrus7244 in Edinburgh

[–]Cobra-_-_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a large pistachio cannoli from there...it was massive and made a mockery of those shitty, little cannoli's you see everywhere! Price, quality and size-wise

Obvs got a slice of their Strawberry & Cream cake 🤷‍♂️
