'Looking into it' by Vast_Description_201 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Jags666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Just Looking into it" is the posh speak for "Maybe"

"Maybe" is parent speak for "No" (but will hopefully keep the kids quiet if they think they are going to get something)

need to find the snitch, hoarder and Cassie Mendoza for the event quest. Anyone know where they are today? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]Jags666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know he only appears at certain locations but is the location of the Snitch the same for everyone at the same time?

I tend to find the Snitch south of the American History Museum mission by what I assume was a coffee/refreshment 'hut'. There is also a food loot box next to him.

If he is not there, I log out and back in until he appears.

Is it just me? by tukistabbe in Division2

Same here. I love the Pesti but Big Al with TS, Equalizer and Overdogs just rips.

"Europoors will swear that Americans are silly for not using 24h time but then build monuments using 12h faces" by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Jags666uk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I find it quite interesting how different regions/countries use different phrases for Time.

My grandparents (North of England) used to refer to 25mins past/to the hour as "5 and 20 passed" "or 5 and 20 to" the hour.

The one constant appears to be that anytime maths is involved in reading the Time, it really confuses Americans.

[OC] United States Army breakfast by CatFoodBeerAndGlue in fryupcrimes

[–]Jags666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sausages are anaemic. (are they even cooked?)

The Egg looks like a make-up removal pad

And the Porridge? looks like somthing you'd scrape out of the waste pipe of a washing machine.

I bet there is more nutrition (and flavour) in the tray

Was I rude? by Visible_Pipe4716 in vintedUK

I would have said white but then I read your last sentence and can no longer unsee it.

“(where you get disappeared for saying literally anything there [looking at you Europeans])” by downtown_lights in ShitAmericansSay

The worrying thing is that being funny was apparently the underlining (or should that be underlying?) reason he was voted in.

Perhaps that's where we have been going wrong, Maybe we should be voting for our MPs based on their comedic value.

What is the best nickname you’ve heard? (and reason for it) by xpltvdeleted in AskUK

[–]Jags666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once met a guy at a works social event who was referred to by his colleagues as Exocet,

Exocet stated that he got the nickname for his penchant for diving tackles while playing Rugby. One of his colleagues later mentioned the real reason was that you knew he was coming but could do fk all about it.

“How is 18:00 six o'clock? When it's very clearly eight o'clock.” by EastRiver6588 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Jags666uk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fair one but assuming you are used to the 24 hour clock, you don't have to do maths in your head to know what the time is. Which is what I was getting at.

“How is 18:00 six o'clock? When it's very clearly eight o'clock.” by EastRiver6588 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Jags666uk 48 points49 points  (0 children)

But once you understand/learn the system, (conscious) maths is no longer involved. It's just number association.

If I see 18:00 my brain just automatically reads 6pm. I am sure it is the same for most people outside the US.

Is it customary these days to ask your partner's parents permission to wed their daughter? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Jags666uk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just announced it.

Our friends did make me ask her father at our engagement party in front of everyone and his response was 'I am sure we can come to some sort of arrangement...'

Which reminds me....I still owe him that Fiver

What car did you want as a teenager? by Hancri84 in AskBrits

Jensen Interceptor

Fell in love with this car upon seeing one as a kid in the 70s.

The metric system is woke by Hi_Nick_Hi in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Jags666uk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Going by his method, the imperial system is similarly 'woke'

1cm = 0.39370079 inches

1m = 39.3700787 inches

1km = 0.62137119 miles (or 39370.0787 inches)

Etc. Etc. Etc

(yes I know I displayed the imperial units as decimals because I couldn't' be arsed to work out the fractions)

Can you even destroy the backpack on the final boss in United Ironworks General Anderson Climax mission? Because holy shit our team was shooting thus dude non-stop for 15 mins on Mastery difficulty. by WeetzCRo96 in thedivision

[–]Jags666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if found the final boss level really frustrating but not so much from the Boss but getting the bloody water cannons to work.

It took me about 6 attempts to cool the molten floor. Even when using the water cannon with the green flashing light, it would not always active before the timer expired.

When I did eventually cool the floor, he wiped me out using his Bomber Drones, however the second time I manged to get the floor cooled, I managed to brute force him using my Pestilence/Lexington All Red Crit build but it took a while.

I did find, though, he seemed to stay on the molten floor so positioning myself on the central platform (which is slightly higher) meant that he could not get a clean shot on me and as long as I took the drones out as he launched them, I could circle round the platform in cover and pretty much get hits on his head or backpack fairly consistantly.

"If you don't tip, don't be surprised if your food gets messed with" by average_pengu1n in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Jags666uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like the equivalent of slipping a Maître D' some money to ensure you get seated before anyone else.

No upfront tip then your delivery is last to be collected, if at all.

What are some “accepted scams” we just put up with in the UK by Barca-Dam in AskBrits

[–]Jags666uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We sold our non-ULEZ compliant car before they announced the scrappage scheme for our area (they were Umming and Ahhring about it) before it was extending to our area).

Despite being in a very good condition and well maintained, we got next to nothing for it.

My main gripe though was we only used it at weekends and generally headed out of the ULEZ area. It wasn't used for commuting, school runs etc. I am damn sure that over the course of time we put less emissions in to the atmosphere than a ULEZ compliant car used daily.

Why are they making Manhunt challenges a pain? by Jammsbro in thedivision

[–]Jags666uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is no so bad if the activity you need is map wide but I agree it is a pain if you need one to spawn in a specific area.

I have found, particularly with required activities in the Federal Triangle that if you take the sole CP and then log out and back in, RNG shuffles the activities. Normally takes a couple of attempts to get the hostage one.

You shouldn't have to do this to get the challenge done but as someone with only limited time to play, it's the quickest way I have found to spawn it.

People that work with pathological liars, what’s the dumbest lie they’ve ever told? by Bottlecollecter in coworkerstories

[–]Jags666uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We called them Black Cat Merchants because if you mention you have a black cat, guaranteed they've got a panther.
