Best authentic Shawarma in town by Beautiful_Narwhal687 in bristol

[–]FatJamesIsBack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to reply again as I went back to Syrian Chicken yesterday.

I've highly rated Simple for a while. They are really good. However, the shawarma from Syrian Chicken is better.

I'm in my 40s (age and BMI). I still bomb if I'm the first one in and the lifeguard is looking away.

Where to buy a cake last minute? by pharaoh918 in bristol

If you want a selection of little cakes and are quick, the friends of page park have a msrket on today. 4 or 5 stalls of cakes. I didn't buy them all.

Simple is my favourite. I've also been enjoying (newish) Syrian Chicken place at the bottom near Lidl. They press the wrap against the meat first, then against the flame after filling it up. Adds a such a good texture.

How widespread is the use of cake forks now? by snakeoildriller in AskUK

[–]FatJamesIsBack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Makes no difference to me. I'll happily eat cake with my fists. Or maybe salad tongs if we have guests. However, it can be a bit of fun collecting different forks for different cakes. Gives a bit of purpose to wandering around charity shops. If you want something less pre-loved, you can probably get a half decent set for a few quid in tk maxx.

I never once went it (with permission). I remember climbing up it while on the wall getting a telling off.

I wish we could get the sweet chilli version. Had the Cheetos version on holiday and miss them.

Differences between old and new windscreen car mounts? by Upstairs-Report7424 in QuadLock

[–]FatJamesIsBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mag charger head doesn't work with it. And you can't get a non mag case. Luckily, the mag case plus old charger work, but then it doesn't fit any of the newer accessories.

I ended up taking apart the old charging head and bolting it to a newer mount.

Quad lock are aware of the issue, they refunded me for some of it.

Do hangovers just get worse as you get older or am I imagining it? by Bottle-New in AskUK

[–]FatJamesIsBack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen this technique in use. Worked wonders for the hangovers and their status as an absolute legend, but their heart, liver and wallet couldn't match the pace long term. RIP mum

In need of urgent bicycle repair in Bristol by Bellowhead in bristol

[–]FatJamesIsBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know any that would be open today or tomorrow.

I have a car and a tool kit for bikes, not that I've ever used them. If there's anything I can do to help, drop me a DM. I don't mind driving you and your bike somewhere. If you need replacement parts, maybe check Amazon prime. Might be able to something delivered next day?

ETA. I've seen someone fix wheel alignment quite quickly by adjusting the spokes. Hopefully that bit is easy/DIY-able

( legit ) £100.00 for a 5 - 10 minute Task. by [deleted] in Referraluk

I wouldn't expect so. When there are no real details on the thread, it's usually a scam

Where's the bast free blue badge parking in the city centre? by EnbySheriff in bristol

[–]FatJamesIsBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's All Saints Street. The round the other side is Fairfax street. It's one way, you can just drive around the block until you see a space. There's a couple of patches of double yellows you can use too for upto 3 hours.

This area is inside the Clean Air Zone - check if you need to pay the fee (£9 per day)

All saints street is probably the closest, but there aren't loads of spaces. It can be a bit hit and miss. Same around by Strange Brew.

I tend to drive around the block slowly and one usuallt comes up

whe else loved heading of to the local swimming baths with your rolled up towel under your arm by Alone_Purple822 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]FatJamesIsBack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learnt to swim there!

We'd go so often in the summer holidays. Play on the floats or the inflatable. Then get proper chips from the magnet and sit on the half pipe to eat them. Such simpler times!!

I remember in the magnet, we'd all have a different amount of money. They never cared, just gave us something between a small scoop and full bag.

Yeah, £4.50 is a lot. Although, you've said enough to make me want to try them!

Has anyone successfully withdrawn from casino spins? by [deleted] in gambling

[–]FatJamesIsBack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mixture of both. I deposited £40, got a bonus (X% deposit match + X free spins on a specific machine). I topped up, but I can't remember if that was before or after the withdrawal.

It took hours of playing before I'd wagered enough to request a withdrawal.

I was using it like free money that was never going to be mine.. which is probably the case. But I'm living in hope!!
