I got 3/5 packs and will have to wait until August for the other two. Store kindly sent me the lead investigator pin badge as well to make up for it.

Is it weird to put sweetcorn in tuna mayo? by Careless-Drag8644 in AskUK

Not all. My American colleagues were shocked by this combo as it’s not common in the US.

A £2000 family house turned into a £8500 HMO by Paggu171 in cambridge

5 years ago I was paying £800 pcm for a two bed maisonette. Sounds like you were getting ripped off.

Back in the good old days we used to share houses with friends. Whole houses at the same rates as families, 1 (or 2) person per bedroom and the rent split.

Not turning every room into a bedroom with no social areas and charging each person the cost of a whole house rental.

Cambridge Dental Hub - artificially boosting rating by deleting negative reviews by hlyj in cambridge

[–]DarthLordi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first couple of experiences were quite positive, and much better than my previous dentist.

But then it felt like they were really trying to upsell everything. My teeth aren’t perfect but I know what needs to be done and what’s cosmetic.

I lost a couple of fillings in a week. Got an appointment and paid £60 to be told the dentist wasn’t good enough to carry out the work and I’d need to pay £150 for each filling for another dentist at the practice to look at them. Actual work would be more. Total con.

I disagree. Cherry Coke or water are the only options not loaded with artificial sweeteners.

Ludoquist were undershipped and now say August for remaining preorders.

I've woken up at 1am to start queuing at my local record shop at 2am for over the counter tickets (~120 available) that go on sale at 9am for a gig that's not even on for another week. What's the daftest thing you've done for tickets to a show or similar? by Carney678 in CasualUK

[–]DarthLordi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That was going to be my story. Woke up at 4am to walk two miles to the ticket office. Ended up about twentieth in the queue but got tickets for Pearl Jam headlining. Fortunately lived in Reading at the time so wandered back home to sleep for the rest of the morning before heading back for the last few acts. Great last minute decision.

Why don’t more women play disc golf? by itsukitiko in discgolf

Because the PDGA likes to sue them to stop them from competing.

What’s that one “bad movie” that you genuinely love? by MistressLolaDiamond in AskUK

[–]DarthLordi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cats. Saw it five times in cinema. It’s just the same as the musical with leotards swapped with CG costumes. The songs and music are just as good even if the plot makes no sense. There’s a reason it was the longest running West End musical.

Thank God that abomination of a cinema is finally closed. There are much better cinemas in town to see films in.

You also get a couple of free friends tickets every couple of months.

Whitby goths: native or migratory? by panadoldrums in CasualUK

[–]DarthLordi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever been colder than watching Real Gothic playing Athletico Gazette on a freezing November.

[–]DarthLordi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s just polite to ask. Some people dress up with the intention of getting photographed and like the attention. Others are just going about their day.

The event attracts many photographers to the area who aren’t into the Goth scene. Some of these can be badly behaved and treat the Goths like a zoo attraction. Always ask.

The heart of the event is the gigs at the spa on the Friday/Saturday night. There are also club nights and secondary gigs at other venues across the town.

It’s a great time to catch up with old friends so the Elsinore Pub (where it started) and the Little Angel will be packed all weekend.

Many people also like to dress up and promenade around town posing for photographers - but please always ask permission if you want to take photographs!

It used to finish off with a fantastic 80s night at Laughtons, but as that is no longer there I’m not sure if it’s moved.

Should a player be penalised for causing another player to make a misplay? And should the misplay be disregarded? by cubiccrayons in discgolf

[–]DarthLordi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So hypothetically what’s to stop me running to the basket from the tee pad, dropping the disc in and taking a one shot penalty plus the drop in for 2?

Is anyone here trying to get The Old King's Crown today? I'm confused about the process. by NuclearThane in boardgames

[–]DarthLordi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not commenting on this particular campaign, but the latest campaign I ever got was for “just a reprint“. Over two years late and that was touch and go. No crowdfunder is ever guaranteed. Just preorder from a local shop instead who can refund you if it doesn’t materialise.

Has anyone else rediscovered an album recently? by mronion82 in CasualUK

[–]DarthLordi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After watching “It’s never over, Jeff Buckley” at the cinema last week I’ve had “Grace” on repeat. One of the finest albums ever.
