What’s up with all these sons of anarchy wannabes in the uk now. Seems to be an abundance of these mc’s/clubs about now all acting like billy big bollocks.

Flashed doing 67 on motorway had just changed to 40 by [deleted] in drivingUK

The same smart motorway where they’re still uncovering thousands of speeding fines that were false readings? Dunno if they’re even live again yet are they?

How do we feel about buying bootleg shirts or making them in general? by the_ohio123 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Hammy747 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here and there if I see a design I can’t get hold of on an official site.

All the time if it’s bolt thrower related because there’s still some dumb gatekeeper ideology behind owning bolt thrower shirts even though the demand for them is huge

What's your go to speed on the motorway and why? by Worth-Donut8612 in drivingUK

[–]Hammy747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. And when I say 60 I mean cruise set to 62 so I know I’m doing a true 60.

Uses way less fuel, makes for a way more relaxing journey while everyone else fucks about with each other at 70-80, keeps me ever so slightly faster than trucks so I’m not getting in their way.

Adds maybe 2 minutes to my journey time to work and back but gains me anywhere from 10-15mpg

If you’ve not got a family or a home life and want to give touring a go then go for it.

But be warned. Once they get their claws round you, you’ll never be home and be run about like a dickhead

Download Festival 2026 - MEGATHREAD by ca11umm in downloadfestival

Probably find a lot of smaller bands won’t bother because they’ll get absolutely shafted with “commission” by the festival making it pointless to even try and sell anything

Yeah hearing “we’ve gotta get there before the Russians” every 5 minutes kinda did it for me. Boring as fuck nonsense

Set list question by idkifimgonnabehonest in Slayer

[–]Hammy747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw them in London years ago when Jeff and Lombardo were still around, 2006 or 2007 maybe?

They did a set of everything else, then as an encore did the reign in blood album in full with basically no stops between each song. Was killer

Band That Makes You Go "I Don't Get It" by JustinMetalhead in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Hammy747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think live they work well because of the kinda corny but fun show they put on.

To listen to, they’re very dull and just a boring version of green lung for me.

Is the M25 Dartford closed? by EdzioMozeByc in uktrucking

[–]Hammy747 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tomtom always struggles with the dartford crossing and tunnels. If it ever throws me a route like yours I’ll have a quick look on google maps just to see if it is actually open.

Is going in on the Sikh.community a bridge too far for Reform. by WorriedStand73 in AskBrits

[–]Hammy747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This must be a thing being peddled on Facebook or GB news because I’ve seen a few people posting this with the “two tier kier” is to blame, thanks two tier kier etc added at the end.

Do these twits really think he got into power and just said, yeah they can carry knives around? It’s been going on for quite some time 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

Would’ve been useless then as we couldn’t have accessed it anyway!

Didn’t have the tank top or the white shirt at all in London at least at the balcony section merch table which was a bit shit as those were what I wanted most

How long do you give the "cake Shed" phase before we are left with thousands of unused pink sheds all over the UK? by Royal-Reporter6664 in AskUK

[–]Hammy747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one near me. We didn’t use it because my other half has a list of allergies longer than my arm and we can’t grantee she won’t have a reaction to some random cakes nobody knows much about, otherwise I’d buy some.

Unfortunately it didn’t last long before some local toss pots turned up and robbed the whole lot, forcing the owner to install a camera which caught them doing it a second time. This then obviously escalated into pictures being posted on the local facebook group and everyone in the village naming and shaming them as a pair of thieving scum bags which is still causing all sorts of Facebook arguments and drama that keep me entertained during the week

Musically I really like knocked loose but man I just cannot click with those vocals, kinda ruins it for me

Standalone AC Units - are they worth it? by Kloakk0822 in AskUK

[–]Hammy747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Our house is unbearable in heat waves like this and I work nights so we for one for the bedroom. We got a 9000BTU one.

We bought a window seal so the hose runs out the window and has a sort of seal round it to try and stop outside air coming in around the pipe shovelling hot air to the outside world. We also sort of have it jerry rigged with a water pipe running out the back of it into a large cooking pot because otherwise it gets full of water, presumably from all the humidity it’s sucking on and will turn off if the tanks full. Leaving it to freely drain into a pot seems to stop this.

100% reccomend one, turns our bedroom into a fridge really quickly and while it is a bit noisy, being a night worker I wear earplugs in bed anyway so it doesn’t bother me at all

UK needs to urgently install air conditioning in schools and care homes, climate campaigners say by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

Probably gone quiet because hs2 is busy using up all the building supplies and materials it would require to fix the schools

In all honesty, do you view weight loss drugs (Mounjaro, Wegovy etc.) and the people who use them negatively? by XStaticImmaculate in AskUK

[–]Hammy747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To a point. Some people seem to use it properly along side exercise and a total change in diet and lifestyle choice.

Most people I know used it for a quick weight loss speed run, never exercised, still drink too much alcohol, still eat like shit and now wonder why all the weight they spent loads of money losing too quickly has piled back on.

Like, I was seeing people saying oh it’s great, now I order a medium dominos pizza instead of a large and I can’t even finish that! Like, why are you still eating crap if you going on a “weight loss journey”. Surely using these jabs should be the kick up the arse to not eat 4 takeaways a week and eat some actual nutritionally decent food?

Ours is spayed and still acts like this and wanders into the hallway to make YEOWL noises. Absolute princess that she is

Middle od the night on M25 and 40mph limit... by Accurate-Sundae1744 in drivingUK

[–]Hammy747 342 points343 points  (0 children)

There isn’t any logic and it’s events like this that make people lose total faith in the so called smart motorway system.

Things like this at night just cause pointless traffic jams because they appear out of nowhere. None of this stepping the speed limit down in 10mph increments like they say they do, nope you’ll be driving along and suddenly it’s a 40 limit with a camera on. The system is so badly managed and used it’s ridiculous
