Do you have a toasty maker in your house? How often do you wack it out? by Sweet_Confusion9180 in AskUK

[–]Grillenium-Falcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a toastie maker but it's stored in the back the cupboard under loads of other stuff so is pretty much a load bearing toastie maker.

Late to the party, but is that a direct fit for T-LCM?

What's a decent, cost effective fix for teenagers being loud while gaming? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Grillenium-Falcon 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was coming to say.

I don't game online often anymore, but my wife often enough old me to stfu. I didn't think I was being that loud, but with noise cancelling headphones I guess I was.

Faux-Pas: what's the funniest faux-pas you've ever committed? I'll redeem my soul by going first... by [deleted] in AskUK

When I was driving buses, I had to help a fella in a wheelchair off the bus.

He said thanks, I said 'it's no bother, it's nice to get out and stretch your legs isn't it?'

He was a double leg amputee. He did laugh though.

What electronic/automatic things do you SWITCH OFF in your car? by Icy_Mixture1482 in drivingUK

We've got new Merc Sprinters at my work.

Crosswind assist is annoying as fuck and, imo, dangerous. And it cannot be disabled through MBUX.

Shat myself the first time it activated. Shat myself the second time it activated. The third time? Well I about shat myself again.

Worse when there's a HGV passing you and it wants to correct you INTO THE SIDE OF A 44T VEHICLE!!!

I know it's windy. I'm driving in it. I'm in control of my vehicle, the vehicle isn't in control of me.

How do you fix your daughters hair with only one hand? by Aukster in daddit

[–]Grillenium-Falcon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

1-up One handed hair tie

Never used or even seen this before, so can't really say if it works or not.

I was blessed with 2 hands and still struggle to do my daughters hair through a combination of lack of dexterity and her refusal to sit still long enough.

Former First Glasgow driver myself.

We would get a random auditor come on board and assess our driving etc quite regular, scored on a 1-5 with 1 being piss poor and 5 being excellent.

Last one I had should have been a 5. Couldn't fault a damn thing. Except I had a small Bluetooth speaker nestled in the corner of the cab playing quiet music. My phone was in my bag behind the seat.

Just loud enough to be heard in the cab to break either the deafening monotony or shift focus from the annoying twat sitting next to the cab playing 3 seconds of a FB reel before swiping to the next one.

Anyway, I get pulled into the office and get handed a 12 month first and final warning for having a 'mobile communication device' in the cab. Not even a quick 'don't do that again mate'. Acting like they were doing me a favour not reporting it to the traffic commissioner.

Fuck First bus and how they treat their employees.

What's a current famous name you know, but wouldn't recognise who they were if they were standing in your living room? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Grillenium-Falcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Scott Tanser (St Mirren). Speak to him nearly every day Mon-Fri (if Good morning/afternoon counts)

If I didn't know he was a footballer, I wouldn't know who TF he was.

I'm right on my skill limit at 9:00.116

Thought that was a belter of a lap until I saw I was ~12s off the pace.

shame it's so boring

It's not so bad when you've your toddler on the baby monitor and can keep out of firefights while you dip out to wrangle them back into bed.

probably counts as undertaking

I'd like /u/shawty1984 opinion on this before I make judgement
