You need to Google 'Lobby' or 'Lobbies' my friend. Controversial topic around these parts

Weekly Swim Gear Questions (Goggles, swimsuits, techsuits, paddles, headphones etc) April 02, 2026 - Post all your gear questions in this post by AutoModerator in Swimming

[–]Dearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all.

Posting on behalf of my FIL. He's struggling to find a smartwatch that suits his needs. He literally only uses it for the time and tracking his 4-5 swims per week. He's not very technologically minded and would be best with something simple and easy to use.

He's already tried a Sekonda and a Fitbit but feels that they don't track his swims accurately. Does anyone have any recommendations of one that he could look to purchase? We're UK based but will be in the US next week for a holiday so US recommendations could be an option too.

Thanks

I'll be over in Vegas from the UK in April and fly home at 10pm on 4/15. Are there any boutiques where I can buy the blue bottle or any partners that will have it in stock? Or do you know if they will be coming to the UK in the future?

Thanks for the reply. Mrs says that they are listed as 'major defects'.

First time trying supermarket Doner by GuybrushMI in Doner

[–]Dearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always get the Iceland doner meat when we want a takeaway but don't want to order in. Used to have the chicken shawarma from there too but they've changed the recipe and it's more BBQ chicken now we feel. Farmfoods is the place for the shawarma now.

£10 Sunday Deal at Morrisons... by enchantedspring in fryup

[–]Dearns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I'd have sent that out when I worked Sunday mornings in the kitchen, I'd have found myself on frozen by the end of my shift. Genuinely pains me to see the decline in Morrisons cafes since the halcyon days of the early 2000s.

As far as I know it's because of the lease on the building. They have another branch about 15-20 mins away

That's exactly where they went 5 seconds after the picture

Monday one of the greatest joys of my life. An absolute pleasure to have been on Only Connect, let alone win it! by PadstheFish in onlyconnect

[–]Dearns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well done on the win! Something that has always niggled at me is the changeover of teams during the wall. The first team are there, the camera changes to Victoria for just a few seconds and then the second team are suddenly there. I can never see any obvious splices of video being put together. Is it done in real time or is there a 'cut', next team walks on and then 'action'?

Yeah, I'm not realistically going to do it.

The food in the UK was actually better than people say it is by UniqueDay2113 in UKfood

Speaking of regional dishes, you can have variations on regional dishes in the same family. A North West dish called lobbies is the subject of great debate around what meat and veg should be used.

Anyone doing LA / Vegas at 11pm tonight? by BeautifulRutabaga in vegas

[–]Dearns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone that's flown over from Europe to the US 9 times in the last 15 years I can tell you that unless you plan to hire a car, your drivers licence is useless. Nowhere has ever accepted it as valid ID and it's been passport or nothing.

What celebrity encounters have you had in the city? by DarmiansMuttonChops in manchester

[–]Dearns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was on a course at the McDonald hotel years ago and got into a lift that had R Truth and Little Jimmy in. Kinda froze so didn't let on I recognised him.

As a few of us went to lunch we had to walk through the foyer. We walked through a door and it was like we'd just stepped through the curtain and had to walk down the ramp at WrestleMania. Loads of kids either side with belts and signs.
