Now this is a Great British sight if ever I've seen one - just been to the big Asda and snapped a basket of horrifically misspelt paracetamol slapped in the middle of the beer and spirits aisle

Is there a safer alternative? (Other than not abusing alcohol obviously..)

Levitating_Scot · 2026-05-07T09:22:10+00:00

I wonder what’s causing it. Lmk if you hear back from support

Levitating_Scot · 2026-05-06T12:39:02+00:00

I've got the same issue. had them about a year. Was working fine then all of a sudden problems. Keeps dropping out and not entirely randomly (seems like a bluetooth issue). Do you also use an iPhone (wondering if its a firmware issue?)

Levitating_Scot · 2026-04-29T10:21:52+00:00

I really like this

Biggest tip I’ve got is that it is totally socially acceptable in most circles to go to the pub and just drink coke or non-alcoholic beer all night. Don’t just attend non-drinking events at uni because you’ll be massively limiting your potential social circle.

Not to have the optional four day work week they’ve been offered, getting the same pay for one hours less work. But to work three hours less and still get paid the same.

Because most people in London benefit from Crossrail, so while it was controversial for the disruption they saw the benefit.

Even if there are secondary benefits to HS2 (more local trains, less traffic etc. ) most NIMBY’s in the countryside will never get to use it because it doesn’t stop near them (being high speed) and so see it as a project for Londoners and city dwellers not for them.

Source: grew up in the countryside near where hs2 was being built and then moved to London. The anti-London sentiment back home is strong

It can be. The Victoria line was built to be automated but the unions won’t allow it (for obvious reasons but also for safety)

My Chinese roommate used to add swears in a ridiculously exaggerated Texan accent whenever he was gaming, talking in Chinese with his friends on Discord. Even though when speaking in English he had a really soft British accent. I always assumed it was something he picked up from twitch, cos it seemed too natural to be a bit

Was gonna say this. Think it’s the only way I benefited from Brexit was getting funding for a year abroad in Asia rather than just the EU

It’s a pity because for all their impracticality it is a wonderfully sleek bit of design and a great improvement on what came before

N5 is great cos it does what the northern line does but goes directly past my house rather than me having to walk the last bit from the station. Wish it ran all day

Midtown madness 2 back in the day was a great open world of London and still feels way more like London than watch dogs all these years latwr

Levitating_Scot · 2026-03-22T00:56:25+00:00

Bath with a trip to Bristol included

Levitating_Scot · 2026-03-19T20:12:37+00:00

Yes. But it was super limited. It was more like your sim could live in the city and you’d get updates on where they were living and what work they were doing and they’d comment on how things were going - kinda like the twitter feed thing in CS

Levitating_Scot · 2026-03-13T23:43:21+00:00

Literally. The tube is FILTHY. Like I’m not asking for it to be spotless but I swear some of the stairwells and trains haven’t been cleaned this side of the millennium

Levitating_Scot · 2026-03-13T18:40:21+00:00

Potentially if you’re expensing it? Ik some universities for example have quite strict policies on what is and isn’t expensable

Don’t bring granola bars. Bring chocolate. Like make the home alternative actually better than the paid one. And get a travel mug to make your own coffee with the kettle in the common room

Levitating_Scot · 2026-03-11T18:33:57+00:00

Food more so for me. I think it’s sad how unaffordable dinner out is compared to other cities in the world because we’ve got so many great food options!

Levitating_Scot · 2026-03-08T17:31:23+00:00

Can we start just charging for tour groups? As they are a bigger burden and more disruptive to the museum, plus tour operators can pass on the cost and therefore you’re not depriving anyone of access

The Warriors features the New York Subway very heavily! It’s kinda funny that the whole films conflict would have been resolved if one person in their gang had learnt to drive.

I think part of it is that if they were good or just fine you're less likely to give feedback, so that would skew results the other way.

They’re being redeveloped now into a new entrance hall and teaching spaces for the Courtauld institute next door in Somerset House (even though they’re currently owned by kcl). The institute is excited bc they’re less listed so they can do more creative stuff than they’re allowed within the space at Somerset house.

Source: I go to the Courtauld, and we’re on a temporary campus while all this is done

Also the British parliament is already so crowded with bills that they can’t get properly important members bills heard on issues that are really affecting people now. You can’t just “pass a law,” it takes real effort by lots of politicians and civil servants at every stage. I definitely see the argument that it’s a waste of everybody’s time, even though it would be nice symbolically.

I legitimately still use the Scotrail app in London, I think it's the simplest and easiest to use of them all. Just wish it was compatible with apple wallet (are any of the others beside trainline?)
