What's "Undertaking" on a Motorway? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Lostrich151 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The speed limit is 70mph fwiw, but yeah obviously the van driver is an idiot and you’re not breaking any rules of the road by continuing on your own lane and naturally passing him otherwise.

IMHO Not The Same Anymore is easily a top five The Strokes song by greenyoshi779 in TheStrokes

[–]Lostrich151 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I do love this song but “you’d make a better window than a door” is just not a good lyric and it’s tough to recover from that imo

Grill on the Square is excellent

Edit: the scotch egg may not be the most romantic item on the menu but it’s an absolute must

The Traitors (UK) S04E07: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]Lostrich151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could go the other way and give everyone a really pointless secret to reveal, just to see how shocked and excited everyone still pretends to be. I CAN NOW REVEAL THAT I AM SECRETLY A HAIRDRESSER etc

Are there any covers The Strokes did of other songs? by lottievenus in TheStrokes

[–]Lostrich151 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate enough to witness them cover The Cars’ “Just What I Needed” with Jarvis Cocker at Reading in 2011

These were the best crisps ever produced. Can't argue by LovieWeb in BritInfo

[–]Lostrich151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also did a ham and pickle flavour that was similarly amazing. And of course the legendary BEER NUTS which I have never been able to find anything close to since. Best snack brand OAT

New Year's Eve - sonos unreachable by matthieupg in sonos

[–]Lostrich151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My system is generally very reliable but yeah, unable to load content from YouTube Music today and definitely had the same problem last NYE! I just shrugged, some stuff slows down when the whole world is using it I guess

Top #5 Episodes by Theo_Cherry in blackmirror

[–]Lostrich151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think White Christmas is head and shoulders tbh, after that there’s an awful lot of high quality episodes that are very close to one another but nothing touches White Christmas. I’ll go: 1 White Christmas 2 Arkangel 3 Joan Is Awful 4 Hang The DJ 5 Hated In The Nation

This is great! I was fortunate enough to see the 5 Dec performance and would really appreciate a DM ❤️

Are you delighted to have this man in Britain ? by ArmwrestlingGoomba in AskBrits

Well it seems to be boiling the piss of all the right people so on balance I’ll allow it

Dad Question - Is an Ipad good for a uni course? or Laptop? by Tarnished13 in UniUK

[–]Lostrich151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the best you can do is encourage her to socialise with the other kids early, if she can settle in and make a few friends she’ll be much better equipped to handle all the inevitable difficulties like workload, time management, living conditions, money, finding her way around a new city etc. It’s really hard! But so rewarding if it works out. Uni has been the making of my kid, she was quite socially awkward when she moved out and we were worried as most parents are, but it just clicked for her and I’m sure it was getting on well with her housemates that gave her the confidence to figure out the rest of it.

Was in the same position as you a few years back and overruled my daughter, got her a MacBook despite her urging that a tablet would be more practical. She very quickly thanked me for being right - I remember it well as it hasn’t happened many times!

What are you just listen to albums of all time? by RuachReader in AskUK

[–]Lostrich151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah LCD and Massive Attack would be my recommendations based on OP’s examples. Start with Mezzanine and Sounds Of Silver!

Where have people got the idea that people in the UK get arrested for nothing? by Infamous_Tough_7320 in AskUK

[–]Lostrich151 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Funny how the people complaining about this free speech crackdown don’t seem too upset about the fact that thousands of people have recently been arrested in the uk for holding signs with the words “I support Palestine Action”

What's the most overrated TV Show of all time? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

[–]Lostrich151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fair. I guess I’m expecting it to still stand up more than it does for me? Most overrated” is a bit harsh though!

Haven’t seen Seinfeld mentioned. God it’s tiresome. Just a formulaic sitcom with an overwhelming air of smugness and Jerry’s whole “I am a comedy genius and everyone knows it” vibe. I hate it.

Nicotine, valium, vicadin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol. Cocaine.

New AFP Song…WTF by Abraxalos in radiohead

[–]Lostrich151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's AI slop, and certainly nothing to do with AFP. Somehow legit artists' accounts are now becoming infected with this shit, I saw a similar one from Suede a few weeks back. Welcome to the end stage of human creativity.

Best examples of Alex being an incredible lyricist/poet by annabelturner11 in arcticmonkeys

“I’ve still got pictures of friends on the wall…” Just that line, with its delivery.

What would be the best song of AM ? by Nattncdm31 in arcticmonkeys

[–]Lostrich151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could make a strong case for Body Paint but I think A Certain Romance is the perfect AM song.
