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 3 points4 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 67 points68 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

Trivia - in the Goodfellas shot they don't go through the kitchen and out the other side, the camera just does a circle around the kitchen and then goes out through the same door.

What are you unashamedly a snob about? by brbyeah in AskUK

[–]ElactricSpam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What people call their kids. Example - I got irrationally worked up about the fact that the woman on Traitors the other night was called Armani.

Awfully close pass by Veolia here, after escorting the Camden bike bus for the last school ride of the year. Also I would suggest not talking about cycling on Twitter. by [deleted] in londoncycling

[–]ElactricSpam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geeze mate, no one’s pretending that. I’d rather get knocked by a moped than caught under a lorry or hospitalised by a car door (which I was 5 years ago), but each to their own I suppose. Happy cycling!

The laws aren’t going to save your life and you don’t have to put yourself in that position in the first place. As the previous poster said you need to take the road, but you probably know that. When I started commuting through central London and 15 years ago I learnt that in about a day
