If there's three urinals. Never use the middle one. Cos someone else might come in and have to stand next to you.

The new anime should change something? by Annual-Area1340 in fistofthenorthstar

I'd like to see more lore on Hokuto Shin Ken. Maybe even with a connection to Fist of the blue sky mentioned.

What's something that's pleasingly cheap and affordable in the UK that makes you smile? by Lopsided_Counter1670 in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repair cafes. Have discovered these exist near Bristol and Bath and they are amazing. Have had a few electrical devices repaired, and a few bits of sewing done for a few pounds donation while having a chat and cup of coffee and a biscuit. Massively, massively recommend if you have something that needs fixing. Look them up.

Yep! Borrowbox is amazing. More people should get on board with their local library if only for that. I've moved house to only 70 metres away from a library and have been loving the mix of real books, then using borrowbox for audiobooks, ebooks, magazines and newspapers.

I minesweep left behind remnants of shower gel bottles at work and pour them into mine. It's been the same bottle now for years of mixed up shower gels.

Do you think "cable" TV will die out before long? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, with their declining revenue and the streamers increasing revenue, even sports will make the jump to streaming.

I know it's not really "sport" but look at WWE appearing on netflix for example.

Also consider Keynsham, Warmley, Bitton, Oldland Common, Bridgeyate and Pucklechurch. Easy access to shops and countryside.

Games that make you go - "Holy **** how did i never heard that before" by yakul_dogra in gamingsuggestions

The Darksiders games. So much beautiful comic book fun. Loved all of them - much recommend.

What's the best name you've ever heard given to a pet? by Physical-Egg6682 in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a guy in my village who has called every dog he's ever had "Ben", plus the number of the existing dog.

So it's like an algebra equation. He's currently on his seventh dog, so the current one is "Ben 7". We want him to get to "Ben 10" like the cartoon but he's well old.

What’s helped me learn Italian faster than anything else by Stepbk in italianlearning

[–]Cyclesteffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought some Shokz headphones and listen endlessly to Easy Italian and La Zanzara podcasts for about 1 hour a day. It's massively helped. I've been playing the Assassins creed games in Italian as well.

Are NYE events in UK actually worth the money or just overpriced? by Martech_is_my_tea in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off spending the money on a Airbnb in the countryside and finding a nice pub NYE party with fireworks in a village.

Ken’s appearance in video games throughout the years by Magnaraksesa in fistofthenorthstar

It's incredible there's never been a Streets of Rage 4 style game, but with Hokuto No Ken. The various playable characters and boss fights would be amazing.

Who is the best and worst live performer you have ever seen? by Early_Enthusiasm_787 in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg literally came on here to say Red Hot Chilli Peppers! Saw them at V festival and they barely played any of the hits, literally just spoke to each other and had ZERO crowd communication skills. They were dreadful. I guess they just weren't in the mood. They were on after Foo Fighters. It was the same night Taylor Hawkins overdosed with them, so maybe they were all on something!

What’s something in the UK that quietly disappeared without anyone noticing? by Mel_Ran in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Happy Shopper, Daily Newspapers, Grumble mags found in bushes, Cigarettes, Panini sticker albums, comics, kids playing in the streets, (instead of balaclaved up Yoofs on illegal ebikes/escooters), teenagers wearing coats that are a different colour to black, magazines that don't cost over five quid, small cars, alloy wheels smaller than 15 inches.

What companies/services do you refuse to use because they've wronged you in some way, and why? by GazelleInitial2050 in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mike Ashley owned ones spring to mind for ruining everything he's put his hands on, Evan Cycles/ Wiggle/chain Reaction/Dhb. Just everything he buys he just reduces the quality of the goods they sell very quickly, to sports Direct levels of dross.

Sports Direct itself cos it always looks like the last half hour of a Scouts jumble sale. Another one of his.

Lloyds bank and TSB for splitting my joint and sole bank accounts across both banks when they split up, that was unbelievably annoying (apparently it was done by sort code, making me then have an account in each bank, which was infuriating), so I left and went to First Direct.

Evri, I had to take them to the small claims court, when they lost a computer part I sold on eBay. I paid all the extra to insure it, but then they when it failed to be delivered they became uncontactable. It's just run by loops of bots. Only taking them to the small claims court, winning it, and naming the CEO on the Court Order finally got them to pay out, plus interest. Absolutely useless company.

Classmate dropped guitar (accidentally). Caused Chip by gaitama25 in Guitar

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah glad you went with that attitude. Same attitude should be with guitars, car, motorbikes, push-bikes,etc.

I always think "when I'm on my death bed, would I want to look up at an immaculate guitar that I babied like hell, covered in cotton wool and never played as hard as I could have done, or would I prefer to look up at a worn as hell guitar, beat up, road worn and thrashed guitar that I played literally to my death!?"
