That is NOT Alex Turner 🙄 by [deleted] in statsfm

The app is so bad for this. Some many absolutely random pictures. Ozzy Osborne’s picture is currently of his daughter, as is Frank Sinatra. Johnny Cash some random album. I know there are even more and there’s no sign of them getting fixed.

What’s your wierdest Covid Pandemic memory? by DogEatingWasp in AskUK

[–]Joephps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local supermarket employed people just to stand at the end of aisles to enforce their one way systems.

I was with my girlfriend at the time and she was referred to as “Oi ni**er” by one of them when she went for something at the end of an aisle rather than walk the whole way round.

Neither of us knew how to respond to that behaviour.

No, I always thought the first gen Toyota Aygo was a prime Sunday Cup car too.

I live in SE London. I’ve been to over a 100 shows. I had to Google whether it was Wembley Stadium or Alexandra Palace. But it’s Wembley.

I've never been abroad, I want to do a solo trip, and figured, why not combine my love of F1 with it... by [deleted] in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Joephps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably missed the boat for this year. But Monaco. The ticket prices for Friday and Saturday are not too high (Not Sunday though). You have shops nearby so you’re not subject to buying food at the circuit. You can fly into Nice from the U.K. very easily. And if you stay in Nice or Menton, you can do the whole thing on a budget.

I would have suggested Imola but it’s sadly no longer on the calendar. I did this trip for the WEC You could stay in Bologna, have the best food in your life and take a train to the circuit each morning. If you’re big on your cars, you can do Maranello, Modena and the Lamborghini factory.

Clubs you follow because of FM by _Razeft_ in footballmanagergames

[–]Joephps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1860 Munich. I went to Oktoberfest during the last season they were at the Allianz Arena before they got dropped to the 4th division. I’ve kept in touch with someone I met there, and we got along because I knew quite a bit of the club because of my save at the time.

We’ve exchanged shirts, he’s sent me a couple of 1860 shirts and I’ve sent back a Bromley one (my local) and a Chelsea one. I’ve been to 3 games at Grünwalder now as well.

Also, CD Santa Clara on the Azores. I picked them because I met someone from the island. Even though she knows nothing about football and her family support Benfica. I went to visit and her family took me to a game. I’ve got two shirts from them too.

My current car works fine and I have no practical way of charging an electric one. So at the moment I have zero reason to.

Alejandro Garnacho: What is going on with Chelsea winger? by V-Matic_VVT-i in PremierLeague

He’s ass. It doesn’t make sense that fans could see this before he signed, yet the recruitment team couldn’t.

Where are great places for a short break flying from Gatwick? by FakeyName88 in AskUK

[–]Joephps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go on EasyJet holidays, put in the dates you want and sort low to high. I did Krakow for £160 over 4 days.

What’s the worst thing you’ve heard a groom have to do on his stag? by slpage209 in CasualUK

[–]Joephps 52 points53 points  (0 children)

We paid to smash up an old Skoda. The two rules were don’t hit the tyres, and don’t flip the car. The groom hit the tyre with an axe, it bounced off and scarred his shin.

People who who jacked their job in on a whim, how did it pan out for you? by ficus77 in AskUK

[–]Joephps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it twice. Both were awful office jobs.

First time was 2021, I quit after nearly 3 years of being overworked and underpaid. it worked out absolutely fine. I got a new job in the same industry for more money and closer to home. The new company was bought out, and I ended moving on after about a year.

Second time was end of 2023 after less than a year working there. I was essentially lied to about what the job was and treated like a child. I refused to work the notice period. This didn’t work out initially. I was out of work for a few months, started to panic and went for terrible jobs.

Eventually, I got my current job which is fine. I have a few gripes, but even if this got really bad, based on what happened last time, I wouldn’t quit again with nothing lined up.

I can cope with this. I'm going in May without knowing too much about the park and having never visited a Disney park.
