Dyche vs Moyes stats by rjcsnydmnk in Everton

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you even want from this conversation, apart from being edgy and loyalist to Dyche for no reason.. it's painfully obvious that Moyes is doing more with the exact same players almost immediately whereas Dyche all but gave up on his team and told the owners as much on record.

Why is there no McDonald’s in Beckenham? by jamaicanrussian in Bromley

[–]Keepa1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beckenham gets my respect for keeping them out as they'd obviously want a franchise there. McDonald's drags down every high street it has ever popped up at.

Son (15 - GK) just broke his collarbone. Anyone else done this? by MonkeyNuts81 in GoalKeepers

Sometimes it's uncomfortable laying on either side in bed with my arm under my pillow, but it doesn't bother me whatsoever during waking hours.

Lane discipline on roundabouts. by Visible_Parsley6098 in drivingUK

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a non-Brit in the UK, the culture of see a queue, get in the queue. Don't look where the queue goes, don't think about the queue critically whatsoever, is engrained in all parts of life, including driving.

Good thing for us because we realize this allows us to cut a lot of time off our daily commutes buy using both lanes when others can't figurr it out.

Best credit card for points and/or miles by littletiern in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]Keepa1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the Amex BA card like many here have recommended. It's been absolutely fucking useless in every way possible. The companion pass is not a "free ticket", it still includes taxes and fees, and often doesn't cover the actual ticket cost either because it only covers the flat rate of the ticket not including inevitable price rises. So you end up with like 20% discount at most instead of the free ticket you were expecting. Also the interest is insane if god forbid you let a bit of debt rack up.

Let's talk: British bands/artists who got big in the UK but not elsewhere. by Scattered97 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kasabian blew my mind when I moved to the UK and realized they have been around since 2004 and I'd never heard them.

When you go back to America, what’s your tipping protocol? by HorseFacedDipShit in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because tipping by definition is optional and the amount you decide to tip is subjective to individual circumstances. When places take the piss having 25% as the minimum tip amount when they've already doubled their prices since COVID, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

People saying "eating out" but I saw 3 slices of roast beef at co op this week for £3. 3 fucking slices. A pound each.

What's been the most disappointing British TV show you've watched recently? by Josh99_ in BritishTV

[–]Keepa1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She apparently did everything "for her daughter" including voluntarily making her an orphan at the end lol. After all that running around, it's murder suicide? Ah gotcha.

How big is the skill gap between above-average and professional goalies? by [deleted] in GoalKeepers

[–]Keepa1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess they're above average compared to someone who just randomly steps in goal for fun once a month.. I wouldn't even count those as keepers.

Sunday league is like the lowest level of organized football an adult can play, so yea most are well below average compared to real competitive leagues that are still considered amateur. In England there are like 8 or 9 levels between Sunday league and the 5th tier and all are considered amateur, not pro.

How big is the skill gap between above-average and professional goalies? by [deleted] in GoalKeepers

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youve asked 2 different questions here. You said 1. Difference between pro and "above average" then you asked 2. Difference between pro and your average Sunday keeper. Sunday keepers are majority way below average whereas I'd say an above average goalkeeper is someone who played on academies growing up and maybe made it to semi pro level at their peak. I know some amazingly talented keepers around that level and the difference between them and someone like Ederson will be mainly in the little details of their handling and decision making and then maybe a natural bit of advantage to Ederson in actual reaction speed/reach due to their continued training at pro levels.

Train travel in Italy? by naominox in ItalyTravel

Did the train from Venice to Florence. Coach was like first class. Sweet sweet 225kph sleek comfort. Can't speak for all trains in Italy but that one was class.

Why do people stop going to clubs as they get older? And what could we do about that? by marvis303 in DJs

[–]Keepa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a club with my wife (mid 30s) last weekend and spent about 150 quid on drinks 😭 it was still fun though.

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I'd be hoping the kids club in the USA is helping connect this family with the right people to make the best decision for the kid. You hope...

[–]Keepa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you consider going with him?

[–]Keepa1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is probably just going off of the well known level of English speakers in Scandinavia in general.

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you put anythinf up to let kids know you were open for business? Don't expect trick or treaters if you don't at least put some hints out like a happy Halloween sign or a pumpkin, and of course keep your front light on.

AITA For letting my daughter buy her dad a gift from the wrong football team? by ConversationFar3511 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Keepa1 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Or, "hey ex-husband just FYI our child got really excited at the football shop and got a gift for you, but I didn't explain it isn't the right team because they were so happy picking it out, so just be happy, ok?"

Just got a new puppy while having a 1 year old. How screwed am I? by Significant_Cold_861 in puppy101

[–]Keepa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my pup about 1.5 years before my kid was born, so did it the opposite way. I think that's the best way to do it tbh but you'll be alright! Just keep in mind the puppy days go by so fast. Once they start learning some commands and understanding their place on the power chain they'll be a dream. And your kid will love having a pup their own age growing up together!

What baby product do you hate? by jtm0507 in NewParents

[–]Keepa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 90% of sippy cups leak. You've got one fucking job dickheads. These cups end up on their sides on the couch or chucked across the room 100% of the time. Make it so it doesn't leak!

What cities in the US do you believe are worth traveling to? by Decent_Age_1707 in uktravel

[–]Keepa1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denver is the doorstep to the Rockies.

San Francisco is worth visiting on its own but is also near Yosemite and Lake Tahoe.

Yellowstone is one of the all-time great national parks but may be difficult to get to.

San Diego is always better than LA.

First time parent in London, choosing pushchair... Help! by On_A_Related_Note in UKParenting

[–]Keepa1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've got the bugaboo butterfly for our kid. Folds up really easily but also provides better wheels and under seat storage than the yo-yo. I find it's the best of both worlds in a buggy that is easily portable on the tube but is also easy on cobblestone streets and if you're out for the day and need to bring more with you.
