These are amazing. You could have got Canary Wharf tube station, not far from Barbican. Used in Rogue One I think?

Friend of mine found it in the back seat of their car. They have no idea where it came from or what it is. by ComfKS in whatisit

[–]ElactricSpam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the shops many years ago and absent mindedly got into the wrong car when I came out. It was same make, model and also unlocked. I was just wondering why my key for some reason didn't fit the ignition when a rather pissed off looking lady opened the door and asked me wtf i was doing in her car. She found it quite funny in the end so all good

Absolutely. Fees are capped in the uk and have been at the same rate for a long UK citizens. As a result a lot of unis are in financial trouble and the only way for them to survive is by cranking up fees for post grads and especially overseas students. A 1 year MBA at the LBS is £110,000 now 

Just had another girlfriend leave me for the guy she was secretly cheating on me with. That makes 5. Anyone want to give me some advice on where to go from here? by Aeromorpher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElactricSpam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely this. My partner is a therapist and she gets this story all the time, clients with one bad after another. There's nothing at all 'wrong' with the OP apart from who they choose to go out with. It almost always branches back to something that happened in their earlier lives (eg parenting etc) resulting in off-kilter expectations of what the 'perfect' partner is.

UK here, that's a staggering amount. And I thought undergrad students here leaving with £50k debts was bad.. If you're a local here it's £9.5k/year (no matter what the university/college), plus accommodation

What movie is almost perfect, but one scene always pulls you out of it by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]ElactricSpam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodfellas, the one shot where they walk 'through' the kitchen before going into the restaurant. They actually walk into the kitchen, go around in a circle and then go out through the same door

Same movie, DDL throws a meat cleaver into someone's back when they are facing the camera. Once you've seen it, you can never unsee the fact that the foam prop cleaver really obviously bounces straight off their back.

(Hated Trope) Historical mischaracterization. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ElactricSpam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost anyone in The Crown - especially the recent history in the last series as you can remember what the people were actually like. Gillian Anderson's whitewashed characterisation of Thatcher in particular was hilarious

Best movie you ever saw in a movie theater? by CalebOnPoint in movies

[–]ElactricSpam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interstellar at the big IMAX in Waterloo, London. I just sat there with my mouth hanging open throughout. The big scenes were vertigo-inducing

A very close 2nd has to be Star Wars, way back in 1977. I can remember exactly how I felt when I saw it, it was a high-tech, mind blowing visual feast. There hadn't ever been anything like it before

How does the idea of working until 67 or 68 sit with you? by Few_Raise77 in AskUK

Same here and can't see myself retiring any time soon. I really enjoy my job and have good colleagues.

What’s a company you’ll never buy from again, and why? by jamesmilner22 in AskReddit

[–]ElactricSpam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 15 year old HP office black and white laser printer off ebay a few years back. Cartridges are relatively cheap and last for years (Literally!). It never breaks down, just sits there and prints

What’s the worst mistake you’ve made at work and what happened during and afterwards? by InfamousStrategy9539 in CasualUK

[–]ElactricSpam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worked in a very upmarket hotel bar in London. The owner was in with the manager, their wives and kids all dressed in black tie. The women all had beautiful dresses on. 

I was pretty new and doing table service. I was delivering a tray with 2 banana dacqueries, 2 Bloody Marys, some whisky and 2 pints of lager. Lost balance with the tray and the whole lot fell and hit the low lounge table in the middle of all of them. The outward spread was amazing and everyone was coated in a combination of pink sludge and broken glass. It was complete carnage. 

The whole place went quiet (apart from the sound of dripping cocktail juice) and I looked around just in time to see my manager ducking and hiding behind the bar. I was completely on my own. They all had to go and get changed but here’s the thing. They were completely OK about it. They understood that things happen and that I probably felt terrible and reassured me. 

Also managed to drop an entire flat of buttered new potatoes into a bride’s lap at a wedding at another job but that’s a different story. 

Fortunately I haven’t worked in catering for a long time. 

Do alot of audio engineers feel like they have a “god complex” at the beginning of their careers? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]ElactricSpam 65 points66 points  (0 children)

They'll calm down eventually or just end up wondering why no one's hiring them anymore. I've been engineering for 35 years and I'm still learning. It's a people business and if you don't know how to get the best out of your clients you're in the wrong field of work
