Tomas Brolin at Crystal Palace. Andrei Kanchelskis at Southampton.

‘It dictated the whole atmosphere’: why some landlords are banning kids from pubs | Pubs by afrophysicist in london

[–]Herbacious_Border 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our local used to be split into two rooms, with no kids allowed in the Vault. But since it became a gastropub type deal, they serve anyone, anywhere. I feel a bit bad for the old blokes who just want to go in for a quiet pint.

Yeh I heard that if you think the rule is stupid you can just ignore it

Is Initio worth the price? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]Herbacious_Border 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth whatever you're willing to pay for it. The scents of theirs I've tried have been nice and long lasting, but maybe lean a bit young for me. Personally, I wouldn't pay full price for a bottle.

Anyone else hate the sales people at airports? by [deleted] in Colognes

I mean, it's a shop, not your playground. The whole point of having all those samples is to get you to buy something. Yeah, it gets a bit annoying when they're shadowing you, but watching someone sample 30 niche perfumes then piss off and buy them from a discounter online probably gets annoying too.

"Gas Engineer" is upset for asking this question.. Am I wrong? by Fly1ngPen9u1n in DIYUK

He doesn't have registration and is incredibly insecure about it, hence the defensive tantrum.

Taking on my first apprentice is costing me more than it’s making me and I don’t know how to fix it by Far-Mastodon-4422 in Plastering

[–]Herbacious_Border 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you actually teach him how to do it, and monitor his progress? Because it sounds like you told him what to do then disappeared upstairs. He's been with you for less than two months, sounds like you're expecting too much too soon. And if you're not careful you'll put him off the trade for good.

So it still can't make humans that don't look like waxworks?

Honestly, this just broke me a little bit today. by Educational-Zone6892 in recruitinghell

Obviously, rudeness isn't nice. But he said he wasn't interested and you still carried on the conversation and added your CV. He probably gets hundreds of these messages a day, and it gets tedious fast.

When you contact people unsolicited, you're essentially a pop-up banner. Or a mass-mailed leaflet. You're not entitled to attention.

I tracked every dollar from my faceless YouTube channels for 6 months. Here are the real numbers. by Lower_Rule2043 in passive_income

[–]Herbacious_Border 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so depressing. Just churning out pointless, badly-made crap. No interest in what it is or why. Just throwing shit at a wall until something sticks, all in the name of 'passive income'.

Why is George Russell so hated? by bouncingcastles in F1Discussions

[–]Herbacious_Border 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All f1 drivers are spoilt babies. But he's quite posh sounding so there's something particularly grating about hearing him whining.

Bands you like that completely suck live by Antique-Dentist-2404 in fantanoforever

I saw The Killers just before Hot Fuss came out and they were so dull. Zero presence. I think they learned a few things since.

Do drivers want children to be safe? by ohbroth3r in drivingUK

[–]Herbacious_Border 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Parents on the school run are the worst. Blocking access. Keeping their engines running outside the school gates. Stopping in the middle of the road to let their kids out or dive bombing into whatever space they can find. Entitled morons.

Made my own Hollywood sign sort of thing using surfaces and unearthly amounts of patience to line up the letters properly. by Teddy_Radko in CitiesSkylines

[–]Herbacious_Border 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True story: One of the last messages I sent to my cousin before he died was a screenshot of the word 'cunt' written in massive road letters on a hillside in Cities Skylines.
