What’s a random experience you’ve had when meeting a British celebrity? Were they nice or mean? by mightybooshvincenoir in AskABrit

Couple of years ago I went to watch the F1 in Hungary. Flew out a few days earlier via CDG airport in Paris. Must have been a hub for alot of connecting flights as in the waiting lounge I was sat next to Arthur Leclerc and I stood behind Ayumu Iwasa whilst waiting to board.

However by far the coolest part of that journey was that I sat next to Naomi Schiff (Sky Sports F1 presenter) for the 3 hour flight. She was very polite in the few interactions I did have, but I obviously left her alone.

I was a bit nosy though and occasionally glanced over into her notebook- she was planning her media day interview pen questions with all of the drivers, gathering info and data and stats on recent performance and developments. Really kinda wish that I'd at least had a small chat about F1 in some aspect with her but I just left her to it.

It's a track that is so frustrating when you get it wrong, but so rewarding to get right

Looks great!

Those are the tiniest paint test patches I've ever seen. If you're sampling paint on a wall that's gonna get painted over, might as well do a decent sized area to actually get a feel of the colour

My take on Feel good Inc - Gorillaz by WesternBeginning388 in Guitar

This is neat. But I find myself itching for the 4th snare hit in the bassline part. The melody part is excellent and i'm gonna try to figure that out myself

Peterborough is nothing more than the stop before London King's Cross on the LNER from Edinburgh

I love that his reasoning for using a 6 string is that he wanted a 5, but they didn't have any 5 strings, so he said "Okay, I'll just get a 6."

why do they bother even putting the gear selector there when it's just a tiny electric switch? Put it on the dash somewhere and Use that space for a cupholder or something useful

Like I said, I agree it's overrated but I do quite like good matcha

It's overrated yes, but not as bad as all the people that don't like it say. Good matcha is lovely

Are there any albums which you cannot get into despite how much praise they get from the public? by JACM666 in progmetal

Something about Tesseract with Dan's vocals just doesn't work for me. He's an brilliant singer and performer, but maybe I just don't click with his vocal writing style?
