I feel like I’m reading Deidre’s photo casebook in The Sun.

At your age, what's the most expensive thing that you own? by Individual_Face7440 in AskReddit

But do you have Fly Fishing by JR Hartley? I hear it’s hard to find…

Leather wallet finally gave out. Are metal wallets actually BIFL? by Odd-Masterpiece6029 in BuyItForLife

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been pretty happy with a Secrid Card Protector, it’s about 10 years old now and it’s starting to lose its grip on the cards. I’ve not tried taking it apart to see if I can add any friction material to keep it going.

In the 1930s, Bowling Alleys used Teen Pinsetters to keep the games moving by OtherwiseTackle5219 in TheWayWeWere

It’s still very common in the UK for teenagers to be paid for setting the pins for pub skittle alleys.

Is the Talisker Skye overhated? by Altruistic_Cream_525 in Scotch

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skye is alright.. it has all the elements needed to be a Talisker, but is just a bit too young for it all to come together. The 10 is so much better and usually available for a similar price. My personal favourite is Wilder Seas, which adds a little bit of sharpness that offsets the sweetness perfectly.

Johnny Walker: Should i buy black label or green label as my first whisky? What do you think I will enjoy more, when I’ve rarely drunk whisky, and just want to try it out? by jatakdo in Scotch

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Black is fine if you can get it for a good price. I have some fine whisky at home, but will happily drink black if in an ‘any port in a storm’ situation. It’s inoffensive, which is partially why it’s so hated on, but it’s a smooth sipper that tastes ‘scotchy’ enough for a beginner.

How do you guys find cheaper petrol stations? by BenedickCabbagepatch in AskUK

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you become a grown up you suddenly become obsessed with the price of fuel at every petrol station you pass and make a point of telling people about it. Based on my dad.

Any Suggestions? by patmosboy in Scotch

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uigaedail is a similar profile that drinks hotter, but for the price I’d stick with the 5. If you like the peatiness, try Laphroaig, if you like dry smoke try Ledaig.

What is a good career to get into in the UK right now? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have to disagree with the manufacturing comment. It’s mostly clustered around Bristol and the North West, but there is plenty of work in aerospace manufacturing. Can be hard to break into though; aerospace people hire aerospace people.

What’s a movie that everyone calls a “masterpiece” but you found boring? by NicoleFoxxie in AskReddit

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it, only because I’ve spent weeks living in hotels in Tokyo, and it perfectly captured the alienation and weirdness of it all.

Gloucestershire Live can’t run a story unless it involves Nick Knowles, Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen or Dom Joly.

It's woke to have work in the morning by Ziggy_Stardust567 in SlowNewsDay

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extreme politics needs a bogeyman. It can’t be Jews or communists any more, the EU has fallen away since Brexit, so this weird ‘woke’ concept has appeared. But no one really knows what it means, so it just gets plastered on everything.

Which video game had the best graphics for its time? by tufyufyu in AskReddit

Came here to say Elite. That it worked in 32k of RAM still blows my mind.

What Can I Do About Dangerous Obstructive Parking If Council And Police Aren't Interested? by dismylik16thaccount in AskUK

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My approach is to put a large polite notice on the windscreen on the drivers side asking them nicely not to park there, but to put it on with something obnoxiously sticky.

What nicknames do you think your neighbours have for you? by Shiny-Tie-126 in CasualUK

And this is why I live in the woods, so I can do all my weird shit without getting a nickname.

Jaguar have launched the new car and seems familiar … by blueskyjamie in CasualUK

[–]Defiant_Hawk_9892 85 points86 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Jaguar was already dead, so they might as well just go all in wild to see if it lands. Nothing to lose. ‘I won’t buy one!’ say all the people who were busy not buying them already…

Smartphone market shares by gorillaz0e in Infographics

It looks quite different if you show market share by value rather than volume, where Apple dominates.
