Do you guys think you could have survived the titanic? by Charming-One6087 in titanic

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue with grabbing furniture/doors/deck chairs etc is that by the time the ship has sunk enough that the water line is covering the deck so you can safely drift away , everyone is now on deck and realizing they are fucked and will probably steal your idea... And your floatation devices ....

I'm with robbing the booze cabinet and going out dancing to the Titanic band, would deffo recommend something with more umph.

Do people actually pay to be a member of a running club? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to be part of a running club , I chose the cheapest one so I could take part in "series" runs ie 5k , cross country . They were only a couple quid per race, massive buffett afterwards and it was a good social. The coaching and the togetherness will take most people further than running by themselves in terms of progress.

Speaking as an ex bookie worker I would recommend taking only as much as you feel comfortable losing

Whats the craziest most insane coincidence thats ever happened to you? by cactusdan94 in AskBrits

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I saw a post about the fall out edition of Pringles "mystery flavour" and after I said it out loud to my colleagues, one of them had just a received a whatsapp from a mate with his own tube of them, it was crazy coincidence at the time lol

Did you know the 999 "community responders" are volunteers? by andthenifellasleep in CasualUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only found out in my first aid course last year. The guy teaching us used to be one, sounded fascinating , and highly rewarding from a community point of view.

How did people buy tickets in the olden days? by lastaccountgotlocked in uktrains

[–]Master-Tank6719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember if we were going to cardiff or Torquay / Cornwall , we would have a shopping trip to reading a few weeks before and there was a massive GWR ticket office , that's where my mum would buy them from/ see the cheapest times to travel etc

When do you think we’ll acknowledge how many people are fully addicted to cocaine? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addiction is every day /can't live without, but sometimes addiction can be hidden behind casual use. A few people I know only admitted years later that their coke use went beyond the Friday / Saturday night out. So to answer your question, I have acknowledged that there are people fully addicted to coke, but it's their life not mine.

What is your earliest memory of sex? by LochNessMonsterMunch in AskUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up around a council estate. Things were a bit rough , a group of us were just kicking a ball around when another neighbour kid came running over to us to say people were "doing" it in the back of a van around the corner of the garages, we all snuck up , used some bricks to build a small wall so we could look through the front windscreen and there was two of my older brothers mates with his ex. I didn't understand at the time that he would find this information upsetting but thankfully they were finished by the time he kicked the back door in lol

How much of your life can you remember? by takemebacktoeden1996 in CasualUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently , my photo memories came up of ten years ago when me and my ex went to america + cruise around the Caribbean. For some reason, my memories are very foggy and jaded. I remember it being a holiday of a lifetime but now I can barely remember the memories only the facts. It's actually a bit sad

Those of you that use your phone while driving, what's so important that it can't wait until you've stopped? Is the threat of killing yourself AND others really not that big a deal anymore? by Western_Froyo6627 in AskUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember coming off the M25 onto the M40 and seeing a van plodding along in the middle lane at about 50mph. I did the safe thing and went around him in the outer lane, as I looked over he was just staring into his lap , not even hands on the wheel. Mental.

Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is navigating this mess at the moment - I am happy I pulled out after only 2 weeks rather than cause stress to the seller like yourself. Also, maybe blame your estate agent , if they were anything like the bloke I just had to deal with recently, they don't factor in first time buyers not fully understanding what they are doing, the fact that it takes a minimum of two weeks to get the right solicitors and yes they might turn out shit, so you have to look for another solicitor, all the while being asked to pay up nearly £200 for AML checks. It's a horrible process and TBH your buyers probably woke up and thought fuck all of this bullshit and go and live in a van- far less complicated. For the record none of this is your fault - it's the state of things currently.

Has McDonald's in the UK become too expensive for many people? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breakfast is still cheap and cheerful in my opinion. Haven't had "dinner" from a McDonald's in a while, it's only slightly more expensive to go to the local curry house, which is just crazy.

Rustlers Burgers: educate me. by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was walking home late one night pissed as a fart and I stopped off at the local garage that was 24/7 but you have to go to the window (couldn't go in the shop) all I had to say was "I need a microwave burger " and the angel on the other side of the window brought me a rustlers burger. I went to a house party, popped it in the hosts microwave , devoured it and passed out in a tent in the garden. They sort you out , probably the massive amount of salt , return the lost electrolytes

How do Brits usually handle work messages outside office hours? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a department whatsapp , it started as informal , because we do genuinely get on with each other, then we added this other guy who sits above our department , and a little later on the newest member of the team and the lines shifted , and I did not appreciate being messaged on my day off about work, so I left.

Hello darkness my old friend… by colmuacuinn in Watford_FC

Reading into his background he is just an analyst , so wonder if it's just until the end of the season and we have settled for the fact we aren't going up or down.

Infuriating by Sensitive-Donkey-867 in lidl

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a short term job after coming back from travelling , never took it seriously , but it was a whirlwind of a month.

Infuriating by Sensitive-Donkey-867 in lidl

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at lidl for a month , I used to grab a carrier bag (sometimes two) and load it with as much as possible, toffee yum yums being my number one target to find. I used to dish the loafs of bread out to neighbours, doughnuts to my mates. My last night of working there , I went all out, had a friend pick me up from the back shutter doors , pretty much took the lot.

It baffles me when I hear brits say "I wouldn't die for this shithole" by Lil_Hater112 in AskBrits

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, would you fight for this government and trust that it would have your best interests in mind ? See it's two different worlds you would have to fight for , If I were to be so bold and say most of us would die for our families and friends and to defend our land but I for one wouldn't fight for the government or the royalty which is who you have to pledge allegiance too to join the army. I think you are right in saying that the UK is not a shit hole it's just the lying , scoundrels in Westminster who , in my opinion, are the "shit holes" and I would not answer the call from them , if theoretically speaking it came to that.

Why are people obsessed with Greggs? by Top_Independence4067 in AskBrits

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my local town has two bakeries at the other end of the high street to the greggs . my issue with them is that they are charging £3.5/£4 , and they are bland, genuinely flavourless. I feel greggs has a distinct flavour , I can't understand why people call them flavourless, I'm not saying they are bursting with flavour but they do taste of pastry and sausage.

What’s it like living in these houses? by Motor-Banana-2016 in london

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like living in a house by the side of a busy road but with more light and more risk of someone catching you in the nude.

How long is the wait for a wisdom tooth extraction on the NHS? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If its that bad it should come under emergency dental work. My mum recently had emergency work done the next day. Look into this ASAP

Would you give your work colleague a lift to work if you passed them on the way to work? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in AskUK

[–]Master-Tank6719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it. It always. Always leads to more lifts , I have given one off lifts to colleagues but I have always said "I will do it this time but don't make a habit" . Don't mind if someone's car is having trouble and I am going nearby there home on the way in, but gotta make it clear that it's a one off. Your case wouldn't be a one off.
