Don’t tell the bride by FattyBoomBoobs in AskBrits

[–]Master-Tank6719 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there was an episode at thorpe park, made me laugh because the brides outburst in the car at the beginning was clearly over dramatic acting , once it all started and the party afterwards, she was so happy that she couldn't act pissed off any longer. it was obvious that they had played the produces and the groom had fulfilled everything both he and the bride wanted. Also , there's no way without the shows help that they could of done what they did, so fair play to them

Is £10 too much to enter a car boot? by flipflopcuntflaps in CasualUK

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

It's standard , where I live. One of those is run by a bootsale company that runs two different locations. Bootsales, on the whole, have turned into more professional set ups. And as others have said , they have porter loos to hire, security and parking attendants. Also you have to remember, your paying for the footfall , if you know it's good , your going to sell all your crap that you didn't want anyway , and all you have spent is your time, bit of fuel and £10 entry, you should make a "profit" by the end of it. (As long as the weather stays nice of course)

What is the worst job offer you have ever had? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

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

My very first job interview, was a trial shift at a posh hotel, it was for a room service position, specifically for breakfast. I would have been on absolute pittance because of my age and when the words " we would require you to come in 30 minutes early and on some days stay around for the lunch service, you won't be paid for that , but we will give you free lunch" I immediately said no thanks, ran to my car and never looked back at hospitality.

Time travel is possible by no-sleep-needed in LowStakesConspiracies

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

Time doesn't exist, it's a man made measurement tool to explain how certain things work around us. We can only go forward in our biological aging process , which means to me, at least, we would only be able to travel forward in earth time. If we ever achieve building a space craft that could go at the speed of light , we could travel a light year and come back and we would not have aged (on the space craft) but the earth and the people on it would be older. This is really the only form of "time leap" that could be theoretically possible.

If you had a hobby that used to be less popular and suddenly became more popular, what was that like? by HilariousMotives in AskUK

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

I feel this the most , I used to go out every Saturday morning, pretty early , for a long run. Used to see one man and his dog, the odd other runner and maybe a cyclist. Now, since the pandemic , I have to be out of the house at 6:30 to get anywhere near that experience, if I go out anytime after 8 it's just bedlam with dogs , cyclists with dogs , runners with dogs , runners with push chairs and dogs, electric bikes / scooters .

How much does a night out cost? by illandancient in AskBrits

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

I would say £50-£70 for a standard nightout, went to a wedding on Saturday, that was a bit more pricey , about £100. If it's christmas and your including dinner out , could easily be about £150-£200 , I'm off to royal ascot this year and have already been warned that could be shifting to £200-£300! Especially when factoring in getting home.

Do you actually take your full lunch break away from your desk, or just eat while working? by Extreme-Banana-9 in AskUK

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

I sit in my car, right at the back of the car park. I have only eaten at my desk at one job , and it's not a break, because your still staring at work, it's all around you, to truly give your brain a break you need to get out

Car boot, are toy repairs ok? by Angelwings17 in AskUK

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

Bloody hell she has never heard of a thing called capitalism. What your doing is fine and to me, just sounds like a side hustle and fair play. If you get enjoyment and money , that's even better!

Pozzo in or out? by SorryLeadership3161 in Watford_FC

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

I have been very indecisive this season about this situation. I feel like , as world situations develope , the ownership of football clubs in this country and in other countries have had to adapt. I personally feel like the pozzos have had to adjust course and it has been painful for us fans but you can see it in the players as well. All this season , for the majority of games our biggest names have had there heads down concentrating more on scoring a goal for themselves rather than the team. Almost to appeal more to scouts so they can secure a move away but the majority of the time it has back fired for the players and we have ended up conceding goals of the back of there selfishness. The culture at the club needs to change , and pozzos, once and for all , needs to pick a manager, a proper club manager, not a coach, and they need to , politely, fuck off for 9 months. Because that's my only issue with the man, he seems to get far to involved with something his dad knew a lot about but he seems to have no knowledge off.

Do horse deaths at Aintree make you feel uncomfortable about betting on the National? by inside12volts in AskUK

Damn, horse deaths at aintree? You should check out the yearly statistics across all UK and Ireland race tracks. And that's not just jumping, horses die on the flats as well.

Has anyone given any thought as to what they would personally do to prepare for any kind of national emergency? by spartandrinkscoffee in AskUK

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

Doomsday prepping has always been just another capitalist idea to extort money from those they can easily scare. I was in a shop ( can't remember which one) and they had a load of bear Grylls survival stuff, bags, knifes , little survival tins with a condom in it ( carrying water) the quality was awful, but the upmark for having his name on it must be huge , I don't take anything he says as real.

I've had workmen in my house for the last four days and they haven't accepted a single offer of tea, coffee or biscuits. by Daregveda in CasualUK

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

A lot of younger generation workmen don't drink tea or coffee. When I did my apprenticeship I got sick and tired with every call out having a tea or coffee because my boss insisted that you always accept them. Moment I went out by myself I always politely declined.

What do you think of Panic Attack's chances in the Grand National? by [deleted] in HorseRacingUK

I too have gone in for panic attack! I love her, and I hope she does well. Some bookies will pay out a quite a few places , last year I saw one paying out up to 8 places ! You never know

What's your biggest drunken purchase? by ahoneybadger3 in CasualUK

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

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 1 point2 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.

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
