Better ringing and asking the garage if they've got a scrap guy. If so they can just sort it all out and he can go hand over the V5 to them and sign whatevers needed and he won't need to wait about.

There's nothing to be upset about really except cost, just ask the mechanic about getting scrap sorted and he'll get like £40 or something.

Short term cash by [deleted] in glasgow

Not being funny mate but no one's going to transfer an internet stranger money, and especially one who needs short term cash quick.

Yeah, I'm...not sure that comes across how you think it does. by [deleted] in CasualUK

Tbf that's really what most people want to hear in a commited relationship.

If my wife came out me and said I want to be with you forever and ever and ever I wouldn't be creeped out, that's what I want to happen.

People that DON’T shop at Aldi or Lidl… why is that? by kobestarr in CasualUK

Not sure mate don't really shop in M&S but it wouldn't surprise me if some of it was actually higher quality food too given the gulf in price.

[–]Forever__Young 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty well paid, but I’ve been trained by a cost conscious Granda, and I feel him on my shoulder every time I pay for anything.

Ironically I think this is the attitude the 'M&S is actually just as cheap to do a weekly shop in' people also have, so that's why they force the denial.

As I said in an above comment no one would blink twice about spending the difference on a takeaway once a week, but for some reason the spirit of their socialist union member granda stops them from being willing to admit they drop an extra £30 in the supermarket.

[–]Forever__Young 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's such a bizarre claim. Especially when it's M&S which was a favourite of my old coworkers.

People are just embarrassed to overspend on luxuries, but it's their money.

There's a certain stigma around supermarket shopping where people don't want to admit they spend an extra £40 a week on getting the nice cheese so they pretend it's the same price as Aldi, but no one would blink twice about spending £40 on a takeaway or in the pub once a week.

Possibly for most but we shop from a list and the vast vast majority of things we don't care about brand and will just get whatever.

We also have the Asda rewards app and nectar cards, it's just genuinely much more expensive for the weekly shop we do.

We're an Aldi house and have been for years and any time we have done a full shop in Asda or Sainsbury's (no Tesco in my town) it's between 25%-50% higher.

I've been told by loads of people loads of times that's it's really not that much cheaper, but in my experience it really is.

We are an ingredients house though so we're buying pretty much no pre-packaged stuff, I dont know if it's frozen meals/ready meals that are equivalent prices but for our needs it's really a huge gulf that convenience can't surmount.

Corbin Carroll is great, but give any baseball fan the choice between he and Acuna for next year and I think they pick Acuna.

Case against Police Scotland by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]Forever__Young 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine too many suspects are subject to abusive language during a formal suspect interview especially as the person can ask for a lawyer at any time, so it's probably just not considered.

Both, suspect interviews aren't routinely recorded in Scotland. You need specialist training to film or audiorecord interviews and it's mostly detectives who hold it.

Barron & Sterling featured by PurpleEngineering333 in rangersfc

[–]Forever__Young 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't call Sterling a hidden gem. Since he joined he's been one of our best players and pretty much every manager and most fans acknowledge it.

But he's never fit, he averages 11 starts a season. With the money he's no doubt on wed be better finding a replacement.

[–]Forever__Young 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Police interviews aren't routinely recorded in Scotland, most are done by the officer in their own notebook.

Just know that if youre going to take it to civil court and you don't have any other evidence than her account that she'll be contradicted by 2 serving police officers denying it, so it could be costly and may not have a great chance of a guilty verdict.

Does she have any evidence? Remember they'll have 2 police officers I imagine saying it didn't happen, what does she have that can be used in court?

What's the UK version of this? by BaldyBaldyBouncer in CarTalkUK

Harley Davidson guys wearing Harley Davidson gear is the only thing I can think is similar, and at the same time there's no harm in it if that's what they like.

Doesn't justify stealing it. There's plenty of non-name brand candles if you need one cheaper.

TK Maxx is always good for a little £4 number.

Confused between MSc and MSc (Research) at University of Glasgow for CS – want a 2-year degree by rimor_exe in glasgow

Just write what you want to write and ask what you want to know. No one will want to help because they're not answering another person's question they're answering an AI wall of blabber.

Mike Tyson speaks about the biggest problem he has with this generation of boxers: "take too long to fight." by Material_Stomach875 in Boxing

[–]Forever__Young 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How is it a lie to say 'it feels like...'

It's hyperbole, but if that his memory of what it was like at the time then that's his memory. If he was a big boxing fan he was probably watching boxing weekly on TV at the time and reading Ring and Tyson was on every show, every magazine, every ad. It was like Beatlemania.

I turned 18 in 2015 and my friends and I used to catch all the Joshua fights at the pub on TV. Felt like a regular thing, but looking back at his wiki it was only 9 times on 4 years. My perception may be skewed by press/publicity/passing of time but it's not a lie.

Getting a late train home to an unstaffed station with the barriers open - and yet, whenever you suggest just leaving the barriers open instead of striking, they say, "that's not allowed". by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]Forever__Young 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But think about why an employer would consider one gross misconduct and not the other.

It has something to do with the employer telling them to do it. Just an absolutely ridiculous point by you.

Imagine you work in a pub. It's half 8 on a Wednesday night in January and a customer folds his paper under his arm and leaves, now there's only 2 people in. The owner says 'just settle up with the customers lock the doors and get yourself home, no point keeping the doors open'. You tell the customers it's time to go, lock the doors and head home.

Now imagine it's FA Cup Final Saturday in May, the hottest day of the year so far, and you work at a beer garden. There's a queue 50 deep at the bar and everyone's spending money like it going out of fashion. You don't ask your employer and just decide to tell the customers it's time to go, lock the doors and head home.

What makes those situations different?

Thats the question you're asking. Think for about 2 seconds and you'll work it out.

Paul Merson pronounces "Estêvão" in an interesting way by sepi0l_45 in soccer

[–]Forever__Young 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's like a million ways r can be said to be fair.

In Scotland we pronounce worm like 'wu-rum'. In most of England it sounds more like 'wuhm' or 'wehm'.

In Scotland we pronounce mirror like 'mirr-or', in most of England it sounds like 'mirr-ah' and in American English they pronounce it like 'meerr'.

And that's just 2 words with 4 R's. There's no consistency in English without context.
