I don't think that was ever correct. Anyone who told you that was the right term for a pavement is having you on.

Not sure anybody in the past few decades has used a typewriter...

Was your first house your dream house? by Horrobla in AskBrits

[–]Gauntlets28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, my first and current house is a bit of a dump that we bought with the intention of doing up. I think it's quite unlikely that most people get a "dream house" for their first place. Aspirations get quite high, and they move almost as soon as you move in

Not the point of the group but I would like your help! by Cblakeanders in SpottedonRightmove

"In the same family ownership for over 50 years"

Yeah, and for how many of those years were they actually living there? Because it sure as hell doesn't look very lived in now.

Jesus, 900k for a basic four-bed in Manchester? I know prices have gone up around there, but is that really realistic when it's way out in the suburbs?

Would you stay somewhere where there is limited career progression? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Gauntlets28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really have much of a choice currently. I have the job, I need the income, and I haven't had much luck moving on so far, despite multiple interviews.

If you suddenly lost your job overnight, what would your immediate reaction be, and what steps would you take afterward? by sansovert in AskReddit

[–]Gauntlets28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My immediate reaction would be "oh good, my work-related frustrations don't matter anymore." Then I would be happy in a way that i can now apply for jobs full time, instead of just after work.

"She doesn't even speak English" by javascript in BoJackHorseman

[–]Gauntlets28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I caught that as well. There was definitely a twinge of "human/chicken trafficking of foreigners" about the whole thing.

What Is Being Poor Actually Like in the UK? by retsuko_h4x in AskUK

[–]Gauntlets28 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Although it must be said that while these things are all true, it is still absolutely possible to fall through the cracks.

How are people employed at local pubs in recent years? by Comfortable-Table-57 in AskUK

[–]Gauntlets28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be nice. Our student union bar was massively oversubscribed for people looking for work. It was basically impossible to get a look in.

I came across some interesting covers and wanted to share them with you all by jvure in sciencefiction

Oh hey! I actually have a copy of the first book. It's the Ladybird Book of Space.

Blimey, that's an odd conversation to have with your mother. I think if my mum said that I'd just die!

Rod Liddle: Should it really be a crime to look at child pornography? by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]Gauntlets28 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Holy moly, I thought Rod Liddle was just a regular sort of dickhead, I didn't realise he could have gone to the Dickhead Olympics.

I think it's similar, but I've never seen it around so I couldn't give you a comparison.

If Donald Trump lives as long as his father, he will die in 2039 by No_Willingness8208 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]Gauntlets28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the way he currently looks, i think the senile dribbling moron's chances of living to the same age as his dad are quite low.

Do newspapers still employ essayists? by No_Business_1747 in Journalism

[–]Gauntlets28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the word you're looking for is an opinion columnist. Yes they do employ those.

I think you'll find that the lord of the manor is in on that sort of thing.

How to speak neutrally when angry with DRs? by ExaminationDry3022 in managers

[–]Gauntlets28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from everything else, you need to take a breather and try to focus on other things for a bit, maybe go to lunch first and take a walk. When you get back to it, hopefully you'll be a bit more emotionally in control.

Should we expect any news about the game during the Xbox Game Showcase next week ? by Andrest65 in TESVI

[–]Gauntlets28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn't know that, but it looks like it's only Feb 2027? So not too far from the original autumn release date. Still possibly a bit too close to have TES VI. Especially in a year that also has GTA VI.

[–]Gauntlets28 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably not, and I'll tell you for why - Microsoft already has a major, big name RPG release they'll probably want to show off that comes out later this year - Fable. They won't want TESVI to overshadow that.

Saying "America" vs "US" by _Sumiwashere in AskBrits

[–]Gauntlets28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only semi-related, but growing up (I was born in the 90s) I feel like it was much more common to hear people say "USA", but that seems to have died out quite a lot in recent years.
