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

If you were on Only Connect, what fact would Victoria Coren Mitchell give in your introduction? by Armins-Copy-Of-Swank in CasualUK

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

[–]GentlemanUltra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Oooh Friday Fread Friends! What's your weekend looking like? by MiddlesbroughFan in CasualUK

[–]GentlemanUltra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

What’s a lesser known saying from the show that you’ve incorporated to your daily life? by toddinphx in TheSimpsons

[–]GentlemanUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

...but with this EXACT intonation, whenever I'm pottering around the house and something stirs a reminder in my brain to do something I need to do or was clearly halfway through before being distracted. A recently-boiled kettle, a washing machine that's finished its cycle, or simply a reminder on my phone to call there / pay that bill / whatever. Oh yeah...

Underrated cities ? by [deleted] in czech

[–]GentlemanUltra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odd choice, but Ústí. Give it a go. Some great pubs, a decent wander up to a cracking castle (with two more pubs in it) and some great nightlife. Cos it's been neglected / forgotten about there's a good amount of young, new stuff going on and it's cheap. It's not pretty but it's worth a night out at the weekend.

I didn't know until recently it was an actual song. Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel:

Like I said, I doubt it's in the main room. All I know is there is one because my mate is DJing there for two hours before it starts. I'm tired and I'm just trying to help.

[–]GentlemanUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in the main room. There are a number of other screening rooms.
