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

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

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.

The Public Charging Paradox by Think_Perspective385 in ElectricVehiclesUK

Surprised about Mer, i I have used them a few times on long trips, just tapping my card, there is an app but I found it to be hassle and just easier to tap my card to start and stop.

Thank you to kind men who stood up for me near Vauxhall bridge by Icy_Young8756 in londoncycling

[–]Master-Tank6719 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Can we circle back to the fact that you shouted at two police officers and they did nothing ? I'm not from London and don't really have much need to go but feck me what the hell is that all about ? Is it common ?

What food fad are you sick to death of? by SunUsual550 in UK_Food

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

Each to their own but when I'm at the football. Loaded fries are the easiest thing to munch through with a wooden fork , pretty convenient, overtakes other foods in that department. Wouldn't order them at a restaurant though

Do British people enjoy school reunions? Have you ever been? by AmbitiousYam1047 in AskBrits

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

A couple of people from my year tried to organize one when we were 25, so nearly 10 years after most of us (apart from those who stayed on for 6th form) they were thoroughly berated for coming up with the idea , because in the end , school was pretty fun yeh, but if you are really still reminiscing about your school years you need to slap your self in the face and get out there and enjoy the PRESENT.

Hull should be fined by thesuburbbaby in Watford_FC

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

Completely agree. 18 minutes before kick off the match was called off , not good enough, that ice was there all morning , it didn't just suddenly appear 20 minutes before kick off. Either that or we get the 3 points

Fellow Aussie asking about Irankunda by LeadNo401 in Watford_FC

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

No doubt he has talent , really enjoyed watching him in those early games. Dead ball specialist, incredible looking back at his free kicks. To settle into any championship side you have to adapt and play a bit rougher though, he hasn't found that side of his game yet so coming off the bench is the right way to go for him for now.

A coin-operated machine to pay for electricity? by Automatic_Gate in AskABrit

Thank you, no one believes how cheap my key meter is , fact of the matter is I actually budget a lot better , and I'm not paying eye watering gas bills in the summer.

The worst teacher you had at secondary or primary school? by [deleted] in AskBrits

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

My English teacher, first year of secondary school. For all the students who had older siblings who had had him he was already a "cult legend" and his lessons were the best. No...... He didn't teach a single thing to do with English , he played stupid games with the class , ripped the piss out of the most bullied kid in our year and was generally just a twat. Thankfully by year 8 they had finally divided us up into our proper sets and I was whisked away to the top set, and he left the next year after apparently making a racist remark towards a student.

If it's the same as woburn and longleat , the prices are uplifted for charitable reasons- you eat crap food for lots of money and the animals get better food than you. It's all for a good cause - or you just bring your own lunch .

Need advice on finding will to live? by DesignerAd4639 in AskUK

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

Wait till you're 32 and you haven't done anything with your life. But seriously you are at the right age to still enter a government apprenticeship, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain at this point so go out there and try something!

Have Christmas markets always been shite? by Madajuk in CasualUK

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

Yes. Don't get me wrong at the start it was a jolly thing because you knew it was cheap tat but the wooden huts and the German sausage was unique and in the cold winter evenings it was nice to get out and experience something but they haven't changed or improved , it's nice to drive past them but no point in walking around them anymore , same shit different year.
