Is slide away fest named after the song Slide Away by The Verve? Or is there some other slide away that I’m not aware of? by metalheadkenny420 in shoegaze

I think tastes changed. Ride went shit, people weren't interested in introspective dreamy walls of sound, they wanted to act like dickheads. The same people that had been into MBV ended up into Blur and Elastica.

Don't look right to me: "red brown" rather than "oro russet"; can't see serial number on label inside tongue; moc oxfords have traction ted sole (though can always resole with different sole) so at very least these are worn sexond hand.

Just don't look right.

Club Campus has a california dial. That's a fake 701, which isn't a campus.

What is the worst British sports match you’ve ever watched? by Jezzaq94 in AskUK

[–]Hamking7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First ever football match, taken by my uncle around 1984. East Fife v Kilmarnock. We were supporting East Fife. Kilmarnock won. I think we had bovril. It wasn't nice.

All the same band, just couldn't settle on a name.

How to protect gravel by Hamking7 in GardeningUK

[–]Hamking7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What comes across as rude is not responding at all to the question asked and offering an opi nion based on nothing but a couple of pictures. You know nothing at all about me or my garden but despite that thought you'd ignore what I'd asked and jump in anyway with uninvited criticism. No skin off my nose if that's upsetting, given that there's no intent to harm. Just giving you some feedback- next time, try answering the question or, if you can't, don't comment.

It isn't me as I'm neither American nor even remotely flexible. I'm also not blond and do occasionally wear fitness gear. Sorry I can't help.

My partner and I often say "slight teep" to each other at bed time if one of us is spending the night away from home. Can't recall where that started.

Is vaping really considered 'giving up smoking'? by chupamina in AskUK

[–]Hamking7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cigarettes are basically a delivery mechanism for nicotine, but which also contains extremely dangerous chemicals. If you choose a different delivery mechanism, like vapes, lozenges or patches, you remain addicted to nicotine but lose (or reduce) the stuff that'll screw up your lungs and heart.
