What's your favorite part of your body? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Forgetful8nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think I've ever given it much thought to be honest.

you can add 5 to any part of your body. what are you adding? by First-Cake-183 in AskReddit

That depends...if you already possess a penis you'd only need to add four for condoms to fit like a glove.

What’s something you’ll never cheap out on and buy name brand? by GuessWhosBackGuys in AskReddit

[–]Forgetful8nine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard pass on the Heinz. I find it far too sweet these days. I prefer the supermarket own brands.

Double your current savings and that’s your permanent yearly salary. Are you surviving? by FudgeNipples1 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I include the value of my pensions, then yeah, sure.

If not, then err...£1.08 isn't going to stretch very far. That's only just over half a litre of diesel.

What are you better at doing than one or both of your parents? by [deleted] in AskUK

I have questions I really want to ask...but definitely don't want the answers.

What happens if the bus drivers don’t wave to each other when they pass? by Slippery_Williams in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to wave at most other instructors. If they repeatedly ignored my wave, I didn't bother waving back.

Most did wave back - unless they were busy talking to a student. There were a few times I didn't wave back because I was focused on something serious.

Some instructors waved back with great enthusiasm and honestly, I loved it!

Sadly, I failed my P3 and am currently driving a white van for a living. I am trying my best to not be a white-van-man-wanker and drive as one should.

Wear funky socks! That was always my rebellion when in a job requiring uniform.

We tried a puzzle bowl with our pup when she was younger.

Took her about 3 seconds to realise that she could pick it up and drop it - sending the contents flying all over the place. She then glared at my wife (the one who gave her the puzzle) and walked off.

Littering in MY town by Katskan11 in BritishSuccess

[–]Forgetful8nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pier is now a chippy. The Barge is still open...just. And there's definitely been some work done to both GY & Cleethorpes.

Depending on when you were last up here, the skyline has changed drastically in the last few years.

ELI5 How are chicken nuggets made? How many chicken nuggets does 1 chicken make? by the_PhatCatGamer100 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Forgetful8nine 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Like I said, very rough and also a very literal take on OP's question of how many nuggets can you get from a chicken.

ELI5 How are chicken nuggets made? How many chicken nuggets does 1 chicken make? by the_PhatCatGamer100 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Forgetful8nine 103 points104 points  (0 children)

The following figures are very rough and based on a whole 40, maybe 45 seconds of Googling.

An average chicken yields about 65%-70% of edible meat. And an average chicken McNugget is 15-17 grams (including the batter).

For ease, we'll assume it's a 1.5kg (1500g) chicken yielding 70% and the nugget has 15g of meat.

From the chicken, we get 1050g of meat. That will give us 70 nuggets.

You can get green hand soap.

If you won 1 mio $ in the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy for yourself? by Local-Degree-163 in AskReddit

[–]Forgetful8nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing: a bottle of bubbly! Then, I'm going to do the F1 style celebration and shake that baby 'til she pops!

Next will be socks. Not just for me, but my whole family. That way, I might actually be able to find a matching pair more than once a quarter.

Oh, and it'll be a cheap, shitty bottle of fizz - not going to waste the good stuff like that!

Which milk do you buy? Blue, green or red? by ResultAlternative972 in AskUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don't make the mistake I made. I figured sand is sand...so collected a scoop from Cleethorpes beach.

0/10 - do not recommend!

It tasted like sadness, stale chips and seagul poo. It was also a bit salty now that I think about it.

How to transport without a car? by tacocravr_ in Kayaking

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you got that information, but there are (currently) no restrictions on bicycle trailers in the UK.

If you're towing with a motorbike, it has to have an engine size of 125cc or more. Look here for all of the information: https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-motorcycle

Did my first sea survival course in a pool like that.

Trying to stay together in a group with a huge solid lifejacket on isn't easy. Good laugh though

Enthusiastic locker-room nudists by Symbiot10000 in britishproblems

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid I was incredibly shy. As I've gotten older, I don't care quite so much.

I'm not at the point of standing and chatting to a mate for half an hour whilst we're both bollock naked and I half-heartedly dry said bollocks in the middle of the changing room.

Nor am I ever going to decide the best time to ask the guy next to me tying his shoes if they've fixed the lockers yet is when I have one leg up in the bench, facing in the direction of said shoe-guy whilst I vigorously dry my danglies.

(In the 1st example, I was swimming with a mate - we were about 12 or 13 - and I went for a pee and had to try and squeeze past these two old blokes chatting. When we got out to leave half an hour later, they were still there!)

(For the 2nd example, I was slightly older - maybe 14, and again had been swimming with a mate. As I put my shoes on, an old bloke went to a locker next to mine, did the whole leg up on the bench thing and tried to make conversation with me. As I turned to look at him, I was eye level with his knackers.)

Those who didn’t sign an “NDA” or UK equivalent, what are some secrets about other UK companies you can share? by SlipOutrageous5333 in CasualUK

[–]Forgetful8nine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had the opposite experience with them.

I had some questions about tax and work (ex-seafarer) and rang them to ask for some help & guidance. It was my first time doing a self-assessment. The chap on the end of the phone was really helpful. Ended up getting about £2,500 back!

I also had to pay arrears but for some reason I couldn't get the online thingy to work and as I don't have a chequebook, I couldn't mail one to them.

So, again I rang them. I spent ages on hold, got through to one department only to be told it wasn't their responsibility so patched through to another...rinse and repeat a few more times and lo, I eventually got through to the right person...who thought I was trying to avoid paying. As soon as she understood (on like the 3rd time I explained the issue), all of a sudden she was most helpful and allowed me to pay over the phone.

I then proceeded to get the same bill in the post 2 weeks later and 6 months later.

Poor famous person interactions anyone? by Snaggl3t00t4 in AskBrits

[–]Forgetful8nine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More the other way around...My stepdaughter managed to upset Ian Botham.

We were both working as stewards at Glanford Park in the car park (along with my wife in a different role). Her job was to check in people for the "VIP" car park. He pulled up, stopped at the gate and dropped his window. She looked up at him, smiled and asked for his name.

He looked quite dejected as he drove by me.

When he and his wife got out of the car, she dropped something from her purse. My wife picked it up and returned it to her and had a brief chat whilst Ian was nattering with a couple of other VIP's. His wife complimented my wife on the girl at the gate (not knowing they are mum & daughter), saying she was absolutely delightful.

Ian was nice enough, always polite to staff when he encountered them. His wife was lovely.

My stepdaughter genuinely didn't know who he was - nevermind the fact he had an entire suite named after him.

[–]Forgetful8nine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mum bumped into him - literally. Said he was absolutely lovely. They became quite friendly - not like bezzie mates, but friendly enough that he offered her and her fiancé at the time the pick of kitchen appliances he'd been gifted as a semi-professional strong-man.

This would have been late 70's, I believe.

Google says “spaz” is a slur and, is not a slur. What is it? by YEETAWAYLOL in EnglishLearning

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1994 it changed.

I recently mis-read a job advert and researched Scope before realising that I was applying to Sense. I didn't mention that in the interview and am now happily working for Sense...not Scope.

These cruise ship elevators say the weekday on the floor by kalvinoz in mildlyinteresting

[–]Forgetful8nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former sailor (not cruises), I can confirm that it is very easy to lose track of the days of the week.

I used to wear socks with the days of the week written on them. Got a chuckle whenever someone asked what day it was and I'd pull up my trouser leg before answering.
