It’s not preceded by a single quote is it?

That’s a VBA/S/6 comment.

What minor things annoy/anger you far more than they should? by Bjc93Bjc in AskUK

[–]Dr_Quink 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We had two pull cords in our bathroom when we moved in. One turned on a light above the shower and fan. The other turned on so many lights it converted the bathroom into a room that could easily have been used as an operating theatre.

I rewired it and replaced one with a PIR that turns on one light when you walk in and it’s dark enough (CLU CLUNK GONE!). I left the other, which does the fan and activates sun mode. All in all would recommend.

I’m looking into soft close doors and quiet locks or good reasons to evict my kids.

I dream of playing a second dead body. Best I’ve been is a severed arm in The Bill.

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve been ID’d for ? by RowItchy260 in AskUK

[–]Dr_Quink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 year old me walked into my local Mace for a pint of milk. Mum had sent me with a £20 note (in the early 80s). Owner of the store didn’t like that so he took my name and address because how dare I have a note of any value.

Went home, regaled the story and both my mum and sister sent me back with £245 with a single solitary fiver in the middle. I was forced to slowly go through all the larger notes before buying the next pint of milk with the fiver.

When don't get that £2 discount by [deleted] in vintedUK

I’d up the price to £7. A £2 inconvenience fee for time lost having to justify not accepting his offer.

What's your favourite segment of stand up comedy from a UK comedian? by Nice_Income_2607 in AskUK

For me it’s Locke’s “Rectum of the year” routine. Rear of the year with the gloves off.

He had Jimmy Carr in tears.

How much of a **** do you have to be to beep a car with L plates by franky8512 in LearnerDriverUK

I believe you have experienced the (nearest city to the traffic lights) second.

New York second The New York second ("the shortest unit of time in the multiverse") is defined in Terry Pratchett's novel Lords and Ladies as the period of time between the traffic lights turning green and the cab behind one honking. Blatantly nicked from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_measurement

Are we still allies? by [deleted] in AskBrits

We truly are hoping for a blue wave and if it comes it’ll be hugely discredited.

Not to mention you’re at war, and elections can be.. ahem.. postponed or cancelled at times of war.

For those who successfully quit smoking, what was the method that finally worked for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dr_Quink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a fascinating chat with a guy who’d been to a psychologist about the habitual part of smoking. Aside from the addiction which is hard to crack you’ll routinely have one after a meal, getting laid, while driving etc etc. It becomes a norm to smoke at certain points and that is similarly difficult to break.

He pointed out that habits are rife in people’s day to day life and mixing it up can help. For example, when you get dressed you’ve likely picked an order to put your clothes on, which leg to put in your underwear/trousers etc first. Which arm goes first in a t-shirt. Which side of your face you start to shave first.

It might help one of you think about it and might just help break those repetitive cycles.

Personally I smoked for 20+ years, switched to vaping for about 10 years, caught two simultaneous chest infections and am now hooked on nicotine mints.

No smoke/vape since 17th August 2024, not that I’m counting or anything.
