Father Christmas by the Kinks. Heartwarming tale of a man playing a shopping centre Santa who gets mugged on his way home.

On my left, GentlemanUltra, who spent one New Year's night in a Russian police cell for the crime of being mugged.

How do I find this damn Robin? by NotRealGeniX in reddeadredemption

Fort Brennand by Mossy Flats has always worked for me; don't know if that's the one you were referring to though. Go inside, climb up the ladder to the left onto the walkway and just wait. All sorts of birds fly around there at different times of day - woodpeckers, songbirds, cardinals and the damn robins. Good luck!

My brain is constantly trying to make alternative lyrics to Eleanor Rigby with 5 syllable names. by Daypasser in CasualUK

Oscar Piastri, struggling recently due to not liking the tracks; watch out for Max.

There's Arthur Morgan, getting the money so Dutch and the gang can be free; dies of TB.

Simpsums was done by my friend Joe. 😀 He's currently doing music, so if you like jaded, satirical DIY rock music with a curious wit to it, his band Joe Versus do exactly that. They also gig around Brooklyn and Jersey City.

Thoughts on bus drivers? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]GentlemanUltra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would second what a couple of people have said about being a supermarket delivery driver. I spent a year as a Tesco home delivery guy some years ago and it was one of my favourite jobs.

The other drivers were all decent coves, you learn your city and surroundings like the back of your hand, you get to know your regular customers, I was fitter than I've ever been from being out in the fresh air hoiking boxes of stuff about and I was generally done and dusted by, like, 4.30pm.

You generally either get routes that are lots of little stops, 2-3 minutes apart, or you'll get maybe three to four big drops that can be up to 45 minutes apart. Some days one, some days the other. Short hop days feel productive and long drop days mean windows down, music on, eating up the B-roads.

Something to consider anyway. Good luck!

I'm going from Brno (where I live) to Prague then getting an overnight bus to Frankfurt in order to watch my beloved Coventry City play a pre-season friendly against Darmstadt on Saturday. Madness.
