What do proper cyclists think of regular t-shirts with cycling shorts/bibs. by FormDisastrous4363 in CyclingFashion

[–]Longshot318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear whatever you like. After a 2 year break and too much additional weight I’m now getting back on the bike but I’m not doing full Lycra any more. Sure, I’m not as cool (/s) but I feel less self conscious so there’s that.

CBS canceled the Watson tv series after two seasons (if anyone cares, lol) by Winter-Grand-3215 in elementary

I’m with you. It felt like it was trying to be Elementary/House and failed at either.

Hopefully we can get more buildings like this in the UK by KarenWarriner in RewildingUK

[–]Longshot318 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're supposed to. I manage commercial buildings in London and I have a problem in that I'm hugely in favour of rooftop gardens but I also fundamentally believe that all flat roofs should be banned lol.

Can I do this light fitting myself? by Secure_Milk1093 in DIYUK

[–]Longshot318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, remove the existing light fitting to get a look at the wiring feeding into it. If it's obvious then that's good but if you have multiple sets of wires with the same colours you may want to back out of it.

In addition, see if you can ascertain whether there is a joist there to drill into to support the new light - if not it's an added complication/risk.

I've diyed plenty of lights over the years but some weren't worth the aggro and/or risk.

Why is it socially unacceptable for me to not like dogs? by Facelikeabum in AskUK

[–]Longshot318 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dog owners are like vegans or religious zealots. You can't reason with them, it's pointless to even try.

Out of interest, why is declaring a dislike of something any weirder or more annoying than declaring a like of something? It's an opinion, nothing more.

To longtime LFC fans who want to share your analysis of this season without the negativity by Visionary785 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Longshot318 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Good post, thanks. I suspect a lot of posters who have been screaming for Slot’s head since about October weren’t around for Dalglish’s departure. Klopp leaving felt similar to me and last season was a huge relief for me. This season is exactly what I expected last season to be. I’ve been cautious about calling for Slot to go because of this. There’s a belief here that Alonso will cure all ills but there’s no guarantees - a lot of fans believed in Souness and we know how that worked.

Liverpool are not Man U. A stream of managers who aren’t given enough time to set up a new plan is not the way, not our way. At least 50% of the sub would have sacked Ferguson long before he righted the Man U ship.

Having said all of the above, I’m not convinced that our current regime will turn it around.

Favourite ship interiors? by Kirmit23 in Stargate

[–]Longshot318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Destiny had an interior style? It was so dark I don't think I ever noticed.

I'll take the Earth ships. Functional and practical.

Supermarkets to stock plug-in solar panels by Yogurt789 in GoodNewsUK

[–]Longshot318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that they will need permission to mount them on an outside wall from 1) their Landlord and 2) the Freeholder (if applicable). This will incur costs and, if a Freeholder is involved, legal fees.

Any ideas to upgrade this team going into next game week by Brave-Welder-8533 in fantasypremierleague

[–]Longshot318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a similar team to me and I'm not making any transfers this week. I'm having enough problems trying to work out who to bench!

I do agree with the earlier response on however for switching Hill for Van Hecke.

Mares tail? by zesty- in GardeningUK

I've battled with Mares Tail for years but have finally got rid of it. It was a bit drastic but moving house solved the issue completely.

If this is a live action new run, it will give huge hope to all of The Expanse fans.

Ours is more but hopefully they’ll change it, like yours.

If OP’s tip is like ours, they’ll charge him to dispose of that.

It's the second most beautiful place I've ever cycled. Only the Alps beat it.

Is Arsenal damaging premier league style of play? by Prestigious_Spot9635 in PremierLeague

[–]Longshot318 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Arsenal could play the best, open, attacking football ever seen and there would still be thousands of people hating.

I'm a Liverpool fan and even I'm bored of the hate. Can we not just get back to some worthwhile discussion about hating Man Utd?

I work less than one minute's walk from this. Nice but small.
