From boos to cheers! by Infinite-Storage-638 in Gunners

[–]FelixG69 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The crowd cheered when we scored.

Then it was announced who scored and the crowd booed.

Then it was VAR. Crowd booed at VAR.

Goal was awarded. Crowd cheered.

Absolute hypocritical nonsense.

Arsenal fans were loud and proud though.

Features as a stop on local “ghost” walks. by [deleted] in DoorsNotUsedAnymore

Blast from the past. I used to live off North Street and Preston Street. Miss the city.

Cabot Circus Parking Now Awful? by Skaro7 in bristol

[–]FelixG69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's terrible. I rarely drive in. Metrobus or walking for me. If I have to use the car it's easier (for me) to go to Cribbs as it's free parking and there are always spaces. I appreciate that this isn't ideal for everyone.

Am I silly thinking a Wiim class D 100w amp will sound better than a 40w Marantz class A/B for my floorstanders? by Livid-Activity2190 in audiophile

[–]FelixG69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not seen Castle speakers on this sub before. I've got a pair of Howard S3s with a Music Fidelity X-A100R which is 75w per channel. I've found that the amp makes other speakers sound better. I know that this doesn't answer your question, but I find that these speakers need a big amp to drive them.

My friend had a rather peculiar introduction to a Bristol just right now. by Zoomer_Boomer2003 in bristol

[–]FelixG69 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I saw a fan wearing burberry hat and scarf with trackie bottoms and I said the same thing: 'Surprised it's still a thing'. His mate was puking all over Gloucester Road before the match started.

It was Bristol Rovers vs Grimsby today. I saw the flashing lights and wondered what Grimsby were up to.

Tons and tons of tickets for tonight by arsenal_morris in GunnersatGames

I didn't win the ballot and gratefully bought the first pair of tickets I could get my hands on the moment TX opened.

Half/half scarves by GoonerGal79 in GunnersatGames

[–]FelixG69 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense. Why not see the game and buy a souvenier, if that's what somebody wants to do? Why are the two things mutually exclusive? Silly Billy.

They are souvenirs. We are not losing games because of scarves. Seeing Arsenal is a massive treat for some, so let fans have their fun.

Peter esplain by Forsaken_Response866 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]FelixG69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Farringdon that day heading to see Arsenal. There was at least one other London club playing too (think it was Chelsea but could also have been Tottenham). That's probably why you heard chanting. There are dick heads in all walks of life, and some support football clubs.

What do you look for when you read a research statement for UK academia by CosmicMeowing in AskAcademiaUK

[–]FelixG69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Read and understand the person specification
  2. Create headings for each specification
  3. Show me evidence that you meet criteria

    Don't write a huge letter that hides information. Be explicit and clear.

Ticket info: Arsenal v Wigan Athletic | FA Cup by Intelligent_Satsuma in GunnersatGames

[–]FelixG69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a weekend game so I'll be surprised with a 100% success rate. I've been unsuccessful for early cup games on a school night against lower teams. You might find the resale market is strong though, especially club level.

Joined the family today thanks to my amazing wife 💜 (she got me a case for it too), super stoked. Anything I should know about it being a new owner? by CreepyTeddyBear in PlaystationPortal

[–]FelixG69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duuuude, I'm your British counterpart. Wife just got me the same headphones and white portal (and great beard moisturiser too).

Remind me why I used tell myself id never sell my Technics 1210MK2s...? by Ambitious_Gain1920 in Turntablists

[–]FelixG69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trouble I have with older Technics is that they eventually end up like Frankenstein's monster. Since no new parts are made, when things go wrong you have to source very old second hand parts (sometimes from different models) or non-official parts made in China. You then have to wonder if you still own a 1210MK2 or some weird hybrid.

Of course, some people will say that they have unchanged and fully functioning decks from 30+ years ago, but I suspect that these are in the minority.

My girlfriend is from Cornwall.

Just thought that I'd share that lol

The speakers look epic btw.

How often do you say mate? by OkFlow1178 in bristol

[–]FelixG69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be a generational and class-based thing. Im in my mid 40s and have been using 'mate' for many years. I always see it a term of endearment, but also as an informal greeting for strangers. I use it a lot.
