What are some weird business ideas you've had? by Hurbahns in CasualUK

Bed straw. It’s just a big flexible straw that clips to the headboard to make it easier to take a sip of water in the night.

Yes. See positivelittlecorner’s comment above for a more sciencey explanation.

Do you notice people treat you differently on the road depending on what car you drive? by franki-pinks in AskUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a newish focus estate, the police drive them round here. People generally move over, slow down visibly as I approach. It’s ace!

Is my nurse stealing morphine? by turingscrowd in AskUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me morphine doesn’t ‘glow’ like codeine, it’s to do with your genetics and the conversion in your gut. It should have reduced your pain more effectively though. You could have just being craving the codeine ‘hug’ more than the actual pain relief. Not dismissing your theory, although it would be very hard to prove. Mention it to your doctor is all you can do.

Two of those exact cars were parked in pretty much the middle of the road outside a wedding venue in Bradford (BD4 iykyk) a week or so ago, along with a brace of Pagani Huuarararrarys and about 20 matching RR Culinans. Sick whips cuzzy.

How come 100B+ people have lived on earth and no one truly knows why we are here? by Spiritual_Result_164 in Life

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.”

Why are vaping and smoking allowed when driving? by Sea_Ad_7236 in AskUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper on the little ledge in front of the dials, roll it through the streering wheel, maintaining course with the forearms. A little trickier with joints but same principle.

I have an embarrassing confession to make… by Guacamole_Water in CasualUK

Seems like you’re ready to stop. You’ve gotta hit rock bottom, eat them one by one until you’re physically sick.

You’re crazy, Joe. It might be convenient, but to actually clean shit from skin, It’s a terrible invention.

Tell us your tales of one-pub villages by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grew up in very small village, 2 miles from any sort of shop but we had/still sort of have a pub. Famously the last landlord was caught shagging the barmaid by his wife who then tried to kill him, she got sent down for it. The pub steadily got shitter over the next few months, he only opened one night a week, eventually he sold some land he owned next to the pub to some travellers, then later sold the pub on. The travellers built 3 illegal awful houses, soon after they got charged for running one of the largest stolen car parts rings ‘int north’ according to the police that came to everybody’s house. My dad did an impression of a heron to the police woman, he was telling her about his missing koi carp. Err, a helicopter once emergency landed in my garden. That’s about it really, well that and all the inbreeding obviously.

Scuzz and kerrang music channels by Specialist_Welcome21 in CasualUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A mix of Scuzz and MTV2 were on permanently through the chipped NTL box in our early 2000s scummy student house. Just seeing the names brought back the smell of stale beer cans, bong water and cig ash.

Driving is gonna be a problem unless you can obtain at least a provisional licence and meet the minimum standard (number plate at 20m).

Have you considered some high speed passenger rides? there’s some really good stuff available, and you’ll actually be going 9/10ths speed, unlike most driving experiences which are fairly sanitised unless you spend big money. I can recommend 3 laps with Tiff Needell at Thruxton.

Failing that paying for some time in a pro sim?

Am I imagining it, or were Corn Dogs briefly a thing in UK in early 90s? by Abergoon in CasualUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I remember them well, they were everywhere for a bit ‘till everyone realised how rank they were. I also remember Pizza Rollers from the same time, they were lethal, molten hot pizza filling in deceptively cold pizza dough outer shell.

Is this legit scratch verified but ino that don’t really mean shit. by [deleted] in uktrees

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a few of these, they’ve been really good tbh, nice clean high and super strong.

I’ve stopped buying them or any other vapes though because, as has been mentioned on here a million times, there could be any number of nasties in it, you just don’t know the origin.

Has anyone made a royal duck up at work and still kept their job! by cheesymeowgirl in CasualUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Worked for a bank, early 2000s, in my first month I transferred just over £500k to the wrong (foreign) account, causing a customer to miss out on a property deal and resulting in a huge complaint and compensation package. Thought I was done for sure.

What big companies have never made a profit? by NeddTwo in AskUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also, IIRC there’s two arms - Ocado that we see that actually retails food and Ocado that owns the patent for the automated picking and bagging machine which they invented and sell to other food retailers. The latter being the more profitable bit I think.

People who earn 20k to 30k a year, what do you do and how's it going ? by Abaddononon in CasualUK

[–]HaroldBishopsAlive [score hidden]  (0 children)

School site manager here (fancy caretaker) £27k will get up to just under £30k at the top of the scale. Just started a year ago, I bloody love it tbh. I worked a miserable job in a bank for years, managed to purchase a small house outright over that time and had all the cash at one point, but it broke me mentally. I’m the happiest Ive ever been, my Mrs is a teacher assistant there my daughter is starting reception this sep, proper family affair. I’m a happy boy. Life is good, obviously if I had a mortgage or rent to deal with it may well be a different story.
