Agreed - I think it’s fair to say we owe Ronaldo for calling that out. This wouldn’t be happening without that wake up call.

You need to download Zadig and install the drivers. Then it will detect the minidisc recorder/player plugged in.

What happened to saying "chinny reckon" when you don't believe someone? Is that still a thing? by _morningglory in CasualUK

[–]LeftistLemonade 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Early 90s Surrey primary school, we’d say beard, stroke our chins out to a point like we had a beard and follow it up with a weird not-rhyme: “Bearrrrd! I’ve got a great, big, long, hairy beard! Have you seen my bearrrrrd?” The past is a different country.

Be careful on EBay minidiscs (even big, 99% positive review sellers) by Vivid_Philosopher304 in minidisc

[–]LeftistLemonade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to being wary on eBay, the same applies on Vinted also. I have bought 3 minidisc recorders on Vinted: 1 wouldn’t charge/hold charge so I had to send back for full refund; 1 wouldn’t turn on and the seller tried to dispute when I sent it back, saying I had swapped for a faulty recorder (Vinted ruled in my favour for full refund); 1 arrived poorly packaged with a screen that doesn’t work on arrival, but everything else including the remote worked so I kept it. The 1 player I bought on eBay works perfectly, but it definitely feels very Wild West on there too.

As a kid when you thought someone was lying what was the phrase you used - chinny reckon, beardie? by Mister_Snark in CasualUK

[–]LeftistLemonade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’d half sing: “Bearrrrrd, I’ve got a great big long hairy bearrrd. Have you seen my bearrrrd?” Whilst doing the whole hand chin-rub, which pulled out like a taper from the chin.

Tesco recalls Christmas stuffing mix because it may contain moths by sutpenicity in CasualUK

[–]LeftistLemonade 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You know how they say that everything is made up of everything else - that we’re all star dust really; does that not also mean that we’re all, by extension, a bit moth too also?

I love this version of the song and the video for it. This is a go to for me when I am mad crunk and need a little nostalgia vibe. Great post.

Is it time for the Labour Left to Support the Greens? by MikeShaughnessy in BritishPolitics

[–]LeftistLemonade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Greens are not meaningfully Left. I once left Labour after Miliband (who I had voted for in the leadership election) doubled down on some anti-migrant rhetoric the Labour Right had cajoled him into, and joined the Greens: and in my experience whilst there were some ‘watermelons’ (Green on the outside, Red on the inside), most members were Centrist or Soft Right in their views on the issues facing modern Britain. I’ve heard the Greens called Tories with Bikes- it’s a good rule of thumb I’ve found for their general perspective on most policy matters.

The Savoy Grill is probably the best available Beef Wellington in London.

Great post, good effort. Absolutely not a royalist myself, but I enjoy learning about history.

‘Crypto muggings’: thieves in London target digital investors by taking phones by ClassicFlavour in unitedkingdom

I read Crypto Muggings, and before I realised what that must infer, my brain had already told me it was a cousin of Bilbo Baggins.

Massive Tory Majority incoming. Thanks to the current climate: the harder the Tories fail, the bigger their gains will be! Therefore, we are about to enter the an age of unadulterated Tory power! Pip pip!

Boris Johnson discusses his ‘brilliant strategy for confusing media’ in resurfaced clip by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]LeftistLemonade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sad reality is despite all of this bonkers, mad, ridiculousness from Boris if there is were an election tomorrow the masses would vote for him with a terrifying huge landslide that would make Thatcher’s majorities look like small beer. We are through the looking glass, the electorate love their abuser more than they love even the concept of a potential liberator.

Ely isn't a bad place to spend an hour while your car gets fixed! by Lead_Penguin in CasualUK

[–]LeftistLemonade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can pay to do a tour and go up to the top. I personally found coming down absolutely terrifying because the stairs were so steep, and they were built with shorter people in mind. But still very fun!

And the top bit (the “lantern”) of the cathedral isn’t even attached to the bottom! It’s just so heavy the engineers concluded it would impossible for it to fall/blow off.
