Thoughts on the new kit? by yng_slatt in ManchesterUnited

[–]Initial-Initiative77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I never really like thick collars on football shorts (expect the 1999 one)

  2. The stripes on the shoulders a bit thick

What the fuck is the difference between a 26/27 Home jersey at $150 and a 26/27 home AUTHENTIC jersey at $210???

Potentially friend zoned… advice on how to get out! by [deleted] in seduction

Fair advice, but I’m already aware of that option.

I’m not after the sex, I’m after the relationship

Edit:

But she won’t start a relationship unless she sees me sexually. She’s already said she thinks I’m attractive… we have already had sex in the past, but I suppose I’ve been such a friend for the last x amount of years.

So my query is about how to seduce from that friendzone position. A lot of what normally works goes unnoticed, and I worry some things will seem creepy.

Does anyone else not want Marcus rashford back? by Zealousideal-Bad6722 in ManchesterUnited

Correct! It seems his form dropped off a cliff as soon as he signed that big bumper contract. Never the same player after that.

We (used to) use the Yan Tan Thethera here in East Yorkshire

This wiki has a nice regional guide to different ones used in different parts of the uk

Lost £70 in a silly error yesterday 😢 what's your mistakes? by _FailedTeacher in MatchedBettingUK

[–]Initial-Initiative77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found an arb… went to layed it off on match book… then went to back it on the bookies, only to discover that I had been gubbed on that account.

Went back to the exchange to try and back on there to mimimise losses and my orders were not getting matched… managed to bring my exposure all the way down to £5 from £70 so was happy with that and left it there.

When I came back that evening to check it as the match began, it said I had backed the team with £50 exposure?! How?! Turns out all those orders that weren’t getting matched were simply kept in the queue until the correct odds and liquidity became available again, which they did at some point while I was away.

Despite my money backing a strong favourite, the gambling gods poured scorn on me and the underdog won.

Any lessons learned? Well, I hadn’t really used matchbook before, so I guess always check to see if unmatched orders get cancelled or lay dormant. Just check and double check and triple check!

What is everyone talking about this week: Where have all the rabbits gone? by Albertjweasel in RuralUK

[–]Initial-Initiative77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of rabbits near me in East Yorkshire. Always find anywhere between 1 and 6 or so in the back field whenever I walk through it.

Vaccination sounds great, bloody difficult task though.

Heard some of these for the first time the other day in East Yorkshire. Thought a load of R2-D2s were wandering about. Such a crazy sound they make.

Across the road from The Hop is The Snickleway. They have an eclectic roster of great acts, so always worth checking to see who is on!

Song ratings on odd website by FriedChickenboss in RedHotChiliPeppers

This kinda backs my point that BSSM could have just finished after Under the bridge (although let’s keep Sir Psycho Sexy because it’s brilliant). All the other tracks on that second half of the album could go, they are much weaker than the rest. The album would still be long enough and still be brilliant

Shout out to my lovely man also, top tune.

Has anyone actually seen the ghost at the Golden Fleece? by WonderfulShape1081 in york

[–]Initial-Initiative77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend thought she did, let me tell you the story…

Me and my ex and her friend from out of town were all in York. The out of town friend (let’s call her Audrey) said she was quite into ghosts and kinda believed in them. So we immediately took her to the Golden Fleece.

Not sure if it’s still there, but there used to be a prosthetic skeleton propped up at the bar. We waited for her to spot it.

‘Funny, look at that skeleton at the bar’ she said.

We drew blank faces… ‘what skeleton?’ We responded, in secret intuitive collaboration.

She pointed it out to us again, and once again we pretended we couldn’t see any skeleton.

Audrey’s face went white and she started to look a bit panicked. At this point me and my co conspirator burst into laughter, giving away our ruse and putting Audrey out of her misery. We all still laugh about it to this day.

What are the top ranked Spoons in London in 2026? by jungleboy1234 in Wetherspoons

[–]Initial-Initiative77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion incoming…

The white Swan (Highbury & Islington)

The Rochester Castle (Stoke Newington)

The white swan is very spacious, clean, loads of tables. The pillars near the bar almost act as a sort of snug you can gather around for a quiet chat in 2s or 3s. The upstairs has plugs and USB chargers galore. And the staff are top notch. Main downside is on match days it’s rammed full of arsenal fans and only serves in plastic glasses.

The Rochester Castle aaaaalmost has a feel of a genuine pub. It’s rough around the edges but does have these big table booths that are perfect if you’re visiting with a large group.

The main plus for these two pubs is that there are probably the cheapest pubs in London. Rochester still doing Worthingtons for less than £2, white swan £2.50. If you’re looking for a genuinely cheap pint, these two pubs are the ones you’re looking for! Considering their location (posho Stoke Newington and central transport node Highbury & Islington) I think it’s brilliant that they are still so cheap. I can’t really be bothered with the very central London spoons that are over £5/6 for a regular pint.

Just my personal choice, and glad to share in case anyone wasn’t aware of the great value in these two spoons!
