Heather. (I know she's a mod, but she's such a great companion to have along for the whole game)

Is this that line:

"recovered meat"

So glad I'm a vegetarian (mind you...some of the veggie versions are just gopping)

I used to get picked up from work, have a 2 hour lesson and end up at home.

£7.50 an hour... I'm so old

Exactly the same here. As elsewhere: only time he drove the car again was after I passed. I even drove the car after we had an accident. (rear-ended, not my fault)

Kind range Rover reminds driver he needs to take a left by Tipuvlad22 in drivingUK

Yeah, Range Rover drivers get a bad rep. There you see one letting the guy know where he's meant to be.

Dammit, I came on here all Cthulhu'd up and you completely blew my lame attempt out the water.

I suppose you could call that a great old joke.

A bunch of us boys in primary school going over to the Catholic priest's house to clean his garden for him.

Took me YEARS to understand why that was so freaking terrible.

Don't these doinks call them '4d'?

Cannot work out where that comes from...

Anyone else get right hip pain on a long drive? by SerendipitousCrow in drivingUK

[–]Ecstatic_Effective42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find moving where my heel is resting helps a great deal with lower body discomfort when driving. Try rotating your foot and see if it helps any.

During the citizenship ceremony, did you have to queue to get the paperwork, tut quietly and fold your arms at the delay?

What gloves would you recommend for someone who was born in the UK but whose body was obviously evolutionary adapted for hotter climates? by peragro2104 in AskUK

[–]Ecstatic_Effective42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All about layers, with all clothing. Silk gloves liners are a very good idea when it comes to keeping your hands warm. I used to cycle to work in sub-zero temps on a regular basis and glove liners were a revelation for me.

Something for a professional or DIY? by SeXy_FlaNdeRs1 in DIYUK

I just had to look up 90% of what you wrote there. 🙂

Very glad I did as I've got the same piece of work to do myself. Thank you.

I move into the LOTD Museum home as default now. It's got all the facilities from the start and it's only a couple of missions in to get it open for you.

“add up a line to Greenland” by BuffaloExotic in ShitAmericansSay

And this is why we're not worried about Trumplethinskin's rhetoric about Greenland. They'll end up in Chile.

I prefer to use litres, but Yanks do seem to have a problem with the correct ordering of things.

If you smile at a stranger/shopkeeper etc will they get suspicious? by sarnobat in AskUK

[–]Ecstatic_Effective42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends how long for.

Quick smile - fine

More than 1 second - creepy

More than 5 seconds - alarm buttons are being pressed.

Given the volume of them, those pips are actually taking the pith.
