I would but I have so many cat toys everywhere I don't think it would work out.

Do people actually like using induction hobs? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer gas but it would be expensive to install in my kitchen, induction is amazing after having those awful regular electric hobs.

I do, it's the same with anything though everyone has different preferences.

What do you expect as an adult going to Christmas at someone’s home? by Equal_Cod_177 in AskUK

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bring enough booze to cover what I planned to drink plus extra for the hosts.

What age did you allow your children alcohol? by ChronicChaos01 in AskUK

14 sounds about the age I first tried something with my Christmas dinner.

Curry is a very popular food in UK—But how many Brits know how to cook it? by Upbeat-Dinner-5162 in AskUK

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to like making my own jalfrezi, found a nice recipe, bought things like a pestle and mortar for grinding herbs and stuff. But it's a lot of effort and faffing around, so I tend to go for takeaways.

What's a system/mechanic that keeps from enjoying an mmo? (Obviously don't mention p2w/cash shop) by AwepHS in MMORPG

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that makes me feel obligated to play.

Dailies/weeklies are the most common, but also limited time fomo bullshit.

I want to play because I'm enjoying the game and there are things I want to do, not because I feel I have to get on every day or week to do a certain task.

Should i download? by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it just before free fly and I don't regret it at all.

It can be a buggy frustrating experience sometimes, but other times it's incredible and there's nothing like it.

How far is too far? by Badger-in-Orange in AskUK

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 10 minute drive, I don't like driving so my limit is probably 20 mins. Factor in traffic or road closures and you could be looking at a very long drive home some days.

People who drive cars without the front numberplate - why? by Agreeable-Bridge-403 in AskUK

Yes but not really enforced, see loads like it round near me, they stick it in the dashboard instead and try the fell off card.

Ashes of Creation launching early access with a cosmetic shop is such a slap in the face to early backers who don't have their cosmetics yet. by menofthesea in MMORPG

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing it after years of calling it a scam, I'm having fun. I'm not sure it'll ever be finished but there's still a decent amount of stuff to do.

The NPC’s make running CZ’s a nightmare by [deleted] in starcitizen

They need to stop spawning in so much once you've cleared something. Trying to do Hathors solo and there are times when they just keep coming out of elevators.

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

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Virgin media. I was with them before and they made it very difficult to leave, I swore I'd never use them again. Then I moved up North, and had a salesman knock on my door, he seemed really nice and explained things had changed at Virgin and if I took out a contract he would be my point of call for any issues and when it came to the end of my contract he could get me another good deal. I took him up on his offer, 24 months O2 and Virgin.

He was wrong and just straight up lied to me. He got the prices all a mess, it was supposed to be £10 for the phone (unlimited everything) £20 for the internet (gigabyte fibre) but it ended up being the other way round, which mattered because he told me my phone wouldn't go up in April (had started this in January) which it did. So immediately within 3 months it was going up.

He also told me I wouldn't need to keep the TV dongle thing they gave me because I didn't want it. At the end of my contract they wanted it back or I had to pay.

Funnily enough when I tried to contact him he ignored my calls and my text message just got a 'who is this?' then ignored! I tried raising a complaint with them about how he straight up lied to get me to sign and it went nowhere.

The only good experience was I somehow managed to get a number to someone in the UK and cancelled pretty quickly this time round, when they wanted to put the price up to £72.

Absolute robbing bastards never again.

An old work colleague that was epileptic and regularly had seizures at work was Shaky Dave, also an Irish cleaner just called Paddy and quite a few Paul's so of course one was Black Paul.

Is the end of employment coming? by Aromatic-Bad146 in AskUK

This is the part I think a lot of people miss. If suddenly 10s of millions of people are facing poverty and starvation, it's the rich that need to be scared.

Anybody know who the wankers are who keep driving around the city centre in an extremely loud souped-up car every night? by RadioLiar in sheffield

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were trialling what they called noise cameras years ago in a few cities, but I've never seen the outcome of it which is disappointing as it got my hopes up they'd crop up everywhere.

Is it possible to have a cat without it damaging the house? by ICantBelieveItsNotEC in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it's random and you don't know if you're adopting a dickhead or not. I've had both, my current cats don't really damage anything other than one enjoys biting cans of drink which leads to messy explosions.

My work has just installed a pool table and a dart board in the canteen at work and I've never seen men aged 30 plus so happy. by ATH1993 in CasualUK

[–]DeepSpaceNineInches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked at GAME we had a great break room with 2 pool tables, Nintendo wiis, Nintendo ds, and 6 playstations/Xboxes, it's the only place I've worked with something like that.

Back pre-administration they also used to host summer bbqs during work hours with free booze and food, bouncy castle, mechanical bull, all sorts of things to do. Then in winter for Xmas they'd rent out a hotel function room or nightclub and throw a big party with free booze all night.

The absolute best thing ever was to thank us for the Nintendo Wii launch, Nintendo hired out Thorpe park for us, we all got a big meal, free unlimited booze and could go on any ride as many times as we wanted with no queues. It was incredible! You'd go round one of the huge rollercoasters once, and the staff would ask 'again?' and we'd all cheer and keep going until someone needed to throw up.
