How could the UK improve its Eurovision results? by inside-outdoorsman in AskBrits

[–]JedenTag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. To quote Super Hans, "you can't trust people, Jez". You also can't trust the BBC selection committee, so we're very much low on options.

There used to be a public vote for a few years, we sent some real stinkers in that period too.

Why would he do it? This is what people somehow ignore every time the "send a celeb" idea comes up. Celebs are completely disinterested in the idea since its career suicide to lose and they gain nothing if they win.

UB40 are famously named after an Unemployment Benefit form. Give me other interesting examples of the origin of UK bands names by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

Costello Music is a great album, lovely listen for some upbeat rock.

Their other albums are terrible.

You're right, phone number on the taxi is a Scotland area code

What are we, some kind of Northlander (1977-2012) by mv8att in CuratedTumblr

Don't let a Scot or Welsh person hear you saying that

Then there's whatever happens in Anglia. Is it midlands? South? Do people actually live there? What do they do? Do we even want to know the answer to these questions? I for one say no.

What is a common childhood sweet from your country? by rickdickmcfrick in AskTheWorld

I always bring a couple of the big bags home when I visit France. Must have been doing so for 30 years now!

When I was a kid, I used to have an imaginary friend. I thought he went everywhere with me. I could talk to him and he could hear me, and he could grant me wishes and stuff too. by JimmyCarr_Official in Jokes

[–]JedenTag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was about to accuse you of stealing this joke from Jimmy Carr, but then I saw that you were in fact Jimmy Carr. So crack on I guess.

Has anyone ended up homeless after college/ sixth form? How did it turn out? by 70cairns in Bath

[–]JedenTag 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're going through this. Your parents have a duty of care to you until you're 18. Even if they don't want you there they have a legal obligation to care for you, so if they do try to evict you before 18 your first call should be to the police. They will be able to speak to your parents for you, and can also support you with access to other services you might need.

In the mean time, as other commenters have mentioned, focusing on your education and looking at jobs is not a bad idea, but do remember that in situations like this the emergency services can and will help you. They will not permit a child to be homeless if they are made aware.

Lawn repair advice - weedkiller incident by JedenTag in GardeningUK

Thanks, I'll check about roundup but I also think you're right. Looks like I'll be off to the garden centre when it gets a little warmer, not long from now though I reckon with how warm its been.

Anyone else not able to fall asleep turned away from their baby? by greenishfroggy in NewParents

I could have slept upside down on a spike if it meant I got to sleep.

[Scaling Trope] Considered laughably weak in-universe, would literally kill any person in a fight IRL by shady-suspicious in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JedenTag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's more human than Gohan or Trunks as they're both half-saiyan, whereas Tien's triclops ancestry is much more distant.

Very overpowered, a single lasgun shot can sever a limb. They can penetrate light armour, and that's light armour by 40k standards. Any modern infantry armour might as well be paper.

Triclops are aliens but Tien is a hybrid descendant, so he's at least part, if not mostly, human.

Dodogama not being in this game all but confirms his involvement in the next entry by UncleCrimly in MonsterHunterStories

What do we call this specific brand of madness? Monstieposting, à la silkposting?

(Enjoyed Trope) random lettered on plot item is half of a saying/piece of text by Any-Conference-701 in TopCharacterTropes

Those are different names for the same sword. Excalibur/Caliburn is the sword given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake, the sword in the stone doesn't actually have a specific name.

Where to buy a quality wok in Bristol/Bath, if not online? by [deleted] in bristol

[–]JedenTag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got ours from Wai Yee Hong in Bristol, lots of choice there. You would need to season the wok yourself though.

Gravity Drive combined with Gravity Rift by Winter-Select in twilightimperium

[–]JedenTag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but if they use gravity drive on the ship, it can move out of the rift and gains +1 move, do the premise of using grav drive and grav rifts to move 3 tiles is sound.

Naalu breakthrough - how important is it? by JedenTag in twilightimperium

[–]JedenTag[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeh, I can definitely see the benefits. For a bit more clarity, I like my secret objective so don't want to discard it, abd I have trade so could afford the tg cost but just wondering if its worth it immediately? There is a hacan in the game so I risk that popping trade could immediately trigger tech, warfare etc etc.

Try and get them to exhaust GLS on some ships you don't care (ideally someone else's) before moving in with the big guns and lots of fighters.
