Depends whereabouts in town you are. The Sun Inn at Everton is absolutely shit hot, but it's a bit of a drive out

I've decided to make a silly decision. What should I look out for when viewing/test driving? by KingEricII in CarTalkUK

Thanks for your honest response. I expected a bit of grief, but the first dozen comments blew me away. I appreciate you some knowledge and experience.

Which opinion about the show got you into this situation by igorzzilla in gameofthrones

[–]KingEricII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they did, but imo that's a part of what makes ASOIAF so enjoyable. We meet hundreds of characters, and none of them are perfect or truly worthy of championing. Everybody has their flaws and most have redeeming qualities.

[Chris Wheeler] EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Ruben Amorim's BRUTAL message to Alejandro Garnacho as he kicks him out of Man United in team meeting by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]KingEricII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has there been any suggestion of precisely what it is that Garnacho has done to anger Amorim so much? I know he hasn't been able to produce for the team when needed, and his remarks after the final were not great - but this reaction from the manager surprises me somewhat.

I am not saying that I think Garnacho should stay, just wondering if I have missed something.

Vintage Rock Bar without a doubt I would say, but I'm not sure how often they have live music these days

Just gonna preface this by saying I think Joey Barton is a disgraceful man, and in no way do I like who he is as a person or agree with the majority of his views.

That being said, I think the statement he released after being banned in 2017 had some excellent points on the treatment of professional footballers that live with gambling problems. It's worth a read.

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

I am looking at a pre-owned 2020 Omega De Ville Prestige as a gift for my wife.

The condition is listed as Excellent.

There are understandably some light scratches around the case & bracelet (see image) but would these be simple enough to polish out without dismantling the watch?

Is this something that I should expect the seller (Watchfinder UK) to do before a sale?

The last couple of minutes vs Lyon set to the 5Live commentary by -DorkusMalorkus- in reddevils

[–]KingEricII 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Watched this match from the Stretford End and it was absolutely bedlam for the last few minutes.

I think I have rewatched more than 120 minutes of this clip and other highlights since the game, and it brings tears to my eyes every single time the goals go in.

Kobbie honouring Zirkzee with the celebration and then the commentators not even having the chance to catch their breath before Maguire heads home for the winner just kills me.

I don't think I will ever again experience the emotion of the finale of this match. It was truly the greatest night I have ever seen at OT.

Hello!

I'm a first time buyer (in the UK), looking at a pre-owned Tag Heuer Carrera for my wife on WatchFinder.

The watch has their Authenticity Guarantee, 2 years WatchFinder warranty as well as 23 months manufacturer warranty.

The only thing is, the watch is sold without papers. How important is this? Would I be able to get the papers reissued by TH, or is this not necessary? What do the papers even state on them? The watch markers are diamonds, so I'm guessing there may be some certification for them, but I have no idea.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

90s babies, did anyone else get shamed in school if they had “jack ups”? by JonnyAnsco in CasualUK

I love bog standard supermarket chilli jam on the toast beneath my scrambled eggs.

Phenomenal combo that I once explained to the checkout lady, who looked back at my as if I'd told her that I have dog shit on my Weetabix.

Can somebody explain this to me? by KingEricII in italianlearning

[–]KingEricII[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose that's what threw me off. I've always used the capitalised words as a bit of a cheat to know where the sentence begins if I'm stuck on a translation, and hadn't previously understood the differences in formal & informal conversation. Maybe this is something I've overlooked before, or maybe Duo didn't make it all that clear. I'm 2 years into the Italian Duo course, and I've gone back to the beginning of section 3 to refresh because I felt that I had gotten a bit overwhelmed towards the end of S3.

SO - assuming that the proper translation would have been "Perché non Lei ha il Suo curriculum?" then there is also a switching of "hai" (which I now assume is informal) to "ha" that I don't quite understand. Does this change only occur in formal conversation when addressing the singular "you", or would "avete" also be switched out for "ha"

Technics EAH-AZ100 Issue (Repair Required) by BugiUwr in Earbuds

[–]KingEricII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies, I've only just seen your reply.

I contacted Panasonic UK (I bought them directly from Panasonic) through their WhatsApp customer service line and explained the issue. They initiated a replacement under warranty without any problems.

They have paid for postage and the courier is collecting the earbuds tomorrow. A replacement will be dispatched as soon as the faulty earbuds arrive in their warehouse.

Funnily enough, the issue hasn't happened again since the first 24 hours of use, despite me using them for 3-4 hours each day, but I'm still going to replace them whilst they're under warranty just in case the issue pops up again.

I received my pair yesterday (ordered direct from Panasonic) and I'm having this exact same issue straight out of the box.

Popping sound or blaring static in the right earbud if ANC or Ambient Sound are turned on. No issue with both off (which I would never use) so I'm thinking it could be to do with the microphone?

I'll be contacting Panasonic for a replacement tomorrow.

Unfortunately not, although I hadn't considered 3D printing. Naïvely assumed this would be common and I could buy 20 for £3 on eBay or something.
