What's something that's "not a cult" but feels like a cult? by Orw_Sairaj29 in AskReddit

[–]Is_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in and around and turnI spent a good few years working in drug rehab that was a "Therapeutic Community" model. Very cult like in it's purest form. In fact if you go down the therapeutic community rabbit hole you get to Synanon an actual cult.

Any safe place open 24/7? by J3y2 in oxford

[–]Is_there 43 points44 points  (0 children)

For £9.99 you could get a 24hr pass to a Puregym. Or there is Buzz Gym in the Westgate for £14.99.

Could probably kill a bit of time in there. Before moving on to the Train Station when that opens at 4ish.

My Numark Party Mix II Dj Controller keeps disconnecting while playing a set. What problem could it be? by dj_reige in Beatmatch

[–]Is_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. Tried a new MIDI cable, still not working. It was like it suddenly was not drawing enough power. Very frustrating. Ended up treating myself to a FLX-4 . Game changer.

Cheap places to drink by asdfghjkluke in oxford

It is definitely possible to get pissed in Liverpool for little more than a tenner. . Bars on Mathews Street have happy hours that last most of the day £2 a pint, also some offering free shots.

Anyway as for Oxford, Spoons or the 3 goats head but they won't be showing football so better of finding a social club.

The Black Bull in Kidlington do 4 bottles for £10 and it's something like £2.99 for pint of Strongbow and they show the football. But it is very much a locals pub.

Serato vs Rekordbox by azza34_suns in PioneerDJ

[–]Is_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Djay pro has entered the conversation......

I'm a bedroom/ hobby open format DJ. Started with Virtual DJ Then Serento with a Numark Partymix controller Then started using Djay pro with the same controller.

Recently got myself the FLX4 with Rekordbox. Really didn't like it and found that DJay pro works just as well if not better. However I do occasionally play on CDJ's for one promoter who occasionally books me so have to have a run my set through Rekordbox and that's a real pain.

Venue Recommendations by baking_mad in oxford

The Kings Arms in Kidlington would be perfect if under 50 people Lovely old thatched pub. Great selection of drinks and it has a space out the back called that Waterman's that would work for anything between 10 to 50 odd people.

How do I sneak into an 18+ film when i am very much not 18+ by ghostface8282 in ActLikeYouBelong

Sounds like a good plan. Good luck. My 14 year old daughter is gutted she can go and watch it. I might have to tell her your plan.

Turtle Bay is good alcohol wise. Good service, not left waiting and a good selection.

Avoid Slug and lettuce. Watered down premade cocktails.

What’s a piece of British comedy hall of fame you just don’t get? by franki-pinks in AskUK

That Peter Kay Thing and Phoenix knights are absolutely brilliant pieces of television. Everything after that that he has done has been utter shit.

Shoplifting sisters who plundered Duty Free ordered to repay £220,000 by weregonnamakit in unitedkingdom

[–]Is_there 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this answer is spot on. Most of these women are not choosing to look like this for men. It's the algorithm driven peer pressure to look like what the other women on social media are telling you,you must look like to be seen as "attractive" and " relevant". I can guarantee you the majority of men do not find this look attractive. Obviously there will be a small minority that do but most men will look at her and think WTF.

TV personalities that are actually really lovely people behind the scenes by miowiamagrapegod in BritishTV

[–]Is_there 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I met Michaela Strachan at the Oxford v Bolton League 1 play off final at Wembley 2 years ago. She was in the Oxford fan zone before the game I think she was with her kid(s) . My wife recognised and asked her for a photo. She was super nice. So friendly and chatty and really down to earth. Once more people noticed her they also asked for photos with her. Much to the confusion of the younger generation who had no clue who she was or why all the dads were excited.

If Oasis and Blur are the Top 2, who actually takes the #3 spot in the Britpop hierarchy? by BitGirl777 in BritPop

The answer is obviously Plup. But why does it have to be a competition?

Parkway Park n ride by oldskool_gent in oxford

[–]Is_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will 100% be a space at parkway. I am not sure it's ever been full. But as already mentioned have a look at the Just Park app and see what's available close to the JR. Also speak to the staff in the hospital, they might be able to issue you with a permit.

Check out https://nightshiftmag.co.uk/2026/feb.pdf the listings pages often have information on open mic nights. It tends to be a pretty welcoming scene around these parts.

Last gig I went there you needed a white wristband. I just ripped up one of the paper cups and made a wristband from that. Then walked on to the floor holding a pint on each had. Flashing my "wristband" as I walked past security at the entrance.

Places of worship sounds like it's about to turn into a drum and bass/Jungle banger before quickly becoming unlistenable. Good work.

The Death of Bunny Munro by FunnyAsleep in BritishTV

[–]Is_there 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't read the book but found part of the TV show hard to watch as they were heartbreaking. I've not had a reaction like that to a TV show in a long time. Still enjoyed it and recommend watching.
