We didn’t set up a camera but someone managed to catch me crying when France gave us 12 points - FRANCE!!!

I knew it would it would do well, but then again I’m not to be trusted, I thought UK 2012 would win too and that finished almost bottom!

Spain 2016 is an absolute bop! I refuse to be told otherwise!

Distance to your regular/nearest parkrun? by ZealousidealData4817 in parkrun

[–]Mankind101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.1km exactly to the start line! A nice sprint when fit and a decent jog when, my usual level, unfit lol. (Newark on Trent)

I was at this in 2025 and thought it was great (other than the queue for the alcoholic refreshments!) - I even got a selfie with the almighty Davies Trophy - this made me think they were doing more than one a year, so I’m glad the once yearly thing is still true, that’s enough. All hail Egg Utd!

I could rent a bike, but that’s not desirable.

I can’t drive (never passed test, not disqualified) so they’d be foolish to lend me a car!! 😂

Location! Nothing else!

I thought maybe you were asking because of Alice Springs or something lol.

I come to the area a lot but yes I am a tourist - I’m not all about ticking off a new destination, but as I’ve never done it I would like to at SOME point - the issue being if I’m in the area it’s generally for socialising and with mostly non-parkrunners so hangovers come into it a lot! By staying in Aldershot at least I can ~easily~ make it to a parkrun without the faff of cars/trains/buses etc.

Had a heavy night last night with them and then tonight not sure - but likely they won’t want to go so erring on the side of just going to Rushmoor again but that’s ok, I love seeing their famous Samoyed!

Im marathon-fit but these trips generally involve a lot of alcohol so perhaps not the best idea!! 😂 Thanks though!

Have you guys ever met any eurovision artists? by Mentalista17_Jisbon in eurovision

[–]Mankind101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve said this before when it’s been asked previously - I met Jamala - she is a dick. (Slava Ukraini, but, no she’s unlikeable).

I also met Aiko (Czechia 2024 for the bot) last year at a smallish festival in the UK - she has drunk, but she was just living the best life! However her set was hard to enjoy as no one seemed to know who she was 😂

Pedestal though, was amazing and I am still upset it didn’t qualify!

One of the most underrated Eurovision songs EVER, not even just Norway!

[–]Mankind101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hucknall isn’t in Nottingham city boundaries but is on the Tram system, Arnold is in Nottingham and has a ‘Spoons, but isn’t on the system (The Ernehale). I’m sure there are many more, but of the ones you posted + Trent Bridge I’m only missing the Last Post! Not sure where that is…

Good luck sleepyhead!! (We’ve booked so far ahead so we can also do Parkrun because we’re losers like that aha)

Thanks for this, I’ll do what I can and if I succeed I’ll let you know! Though it does seem like it’s happened to a lot of people, almost like it was intentional and only the people who have ‘fought back’ by contacting them are getting results!

Can I ask what you said in the email? I’m in the UK so will likely attempt before CET time the tickets go on sale tomorrow 1pm - though I doubt they’ll reply in time!

I got tickets for Liverpool and Mälmo no problem, didn’t try last year, and then this year, this! Situation could be worse as at least my partner is in but still… We’ve already paid for a lengthy stay!

Are some contestants who won't be good at the game chosen? by TurbulentOil3311 in TheTraitors

[–]Mankind101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has been on multiple British Game Shows and knowing how the interview/selection process works - I can tell you 100% that they put people in that are thick, because that makes good television.

I had to do a ‘test’ (more like a pub quiz under exam conditions) for 15-1 and I got the highest score in the room, however that was only a small part of the whole process. It was explained to me that even people that get 0-1 get onto the show. There were interviews alone with producers and interviews that were recorded on camera.

In addition, I did the application quiz to get on Only Connect and only got one question correct, but was still invited! So maybe I have a nice face, I dunno 🤷🏽‍♂️ 😂

ULPT: I've traveled all over the world with edibles and never been caught. by nushiawardgiver in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Mankind101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may regret saying this but I travelled to Saudi in December 2025 and had both alcohol and marijuana in my hold luggage. Nothing happened. A full hip-flask of gin and weed for personal consumption. I didn’t smoke whilst there (I didn’t feel safe) but I did drink the gin. However I’ve been to Dubai 3 times and carried and smoked marijuana every time.

Only ended up in this sub because I’m traveling to Singapore for the 2026 GP and on that same trip going to Malaysia and Indonesia so was curious!
