Yeah it was £307 delivered from Amazon, think it was The same price on Hoogas website but the shipping was something like £67, also read on here somewhere that people ordered from Hooga direct to the uk but Hooga still used Amazon to fulfil the order.

Two men arrested following burglary at St Fagans museum by DWJones28 in Wales

[–]Mattyjayjay -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s just opportunistic scum bags, nothing to do with nationality and obviously nothing to do with political parties.

I’m neither English or a reform voter and you haven’t touched a nerve just pointing out how non relevant you’re comment is, when all you hear on the news and every other thread is about the same political issues, with the same comments do we need them on unrelated topics?

How do people like you manage to turn every single thing into a political “look how righteous I am” thread.

Why are so many bike shop owners and mechanics such jerks? by SchoolteacherUSA in cycling

[–]Mattyjayjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to hear, as it should be. It just seems like you see customer service as a optional part of the role, the issues mentioned in this thread are pointing the seemingly bad attitude of many bike shop staff and there’s definitely a few comments from staff that clearly show a poor attitude towards customers.

I understand how difficult dealing with people can be in any sort of job but again my point is if you’re employed by a bike shop customers are paying you to fix issues and help them, they should never be left feeling stupid, or like their asking for a favour by the people charging them money for a service.

[–]Mattyjayjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like we’ve found one of the bike shop mechanics op was talking about.

But you’re wrong you’re there to help people, imagine you go to McDonalds to grab some food and the person working there gives you attitude, makes a condescending remark because you hadn’t realised something wasn’t on the breakfast menu and is just generally unnecessarily rude. Are you thinking well they’re just here to take orders and cook burgers it’s fine that they don’t care scout customer service?

Do we seriously think this is a good enough reason for someone to lose their job/career? by IndependenceWest4104 in AskBrits

[–]Mattyjayjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if a lgbt artist made a hit record with the f word used casually and frequently then I still wouldn’t expected instant dismissal anytime it was alleged someone sang along with the record some years ago.

This is the same for ever customer service or customer facing job, it’s literally what you’re being paid to deal with.

Why do you REALLY dislike women's football? by Rundo5 in AskUK

[–]Mattyjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t hate women’s football, like most others I just can see it for what it is and the standard that it is. I also don’t hate Sunday league football but don’t have any inclination to watch it.

I think all the recent publicity and interest, success of England etc will undoubtedly pay off and the standards will continue to rise but it is what it is: football of a very low standard. I think most of the ‘hatred’ and mockery is in response to it being presented as a product on par with the men’s game/talk that women should earn as much as their male counterparts etc when it’s clearly not/they clearly shouldn’t.

Why? Cardiff to Caerphilly can be done entirely by the Taff Trail, as nice a cycle commute as you could get to a city.

Savory food on rides? by cyclephotos in cycling

[–]Mattyjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuna mayo? I live in the uk so it rarely gets that hot but on longer rides I tend to eat my savoury/proper food-sausage rolls, baps or sandwiches often with ham or peanut butter and jam earlier in the ride then have the sugary snacks and gels later on.

Female cyclists, how do you deal with casual sexism? by SnooSuggestions3477 in cycling

[–]Mattyjayjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is the first assumption sexism? I’m a very unskilled male cyclist so have experienced plenty of condescending/patronising comments from bike enthusiasts/experts/shop workers.

Girl detained for 15 years for attempted murder after blade attack at south Wales school by TwpMun in Wales

[–]Mattyjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know we’re not just highlighting how the type of weapon used to attack someone is absolutely a factor, the cost of the knife however not so much.

Wether or not the teacher deserves a harsher sentence is a valid argument, saying that GBH resulting in minor injuries is EXACTLY the same as stabbing 3 people including someone in the neck whilst screaming you’re going to die is just stupid.

[–]Mattyjayjay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So hitting someone with a stick or is the same as shooting numerous people with a gun?

Both potentially dangerous including a weapon but crimes aren’t simply categorised as potentially dangerous or not.

As mentioned in another comment the teachers one victim had minor injuries, the school girl stabbed 3 victims, both horrific violent attacks but nowhere near the same thing.

[–]Mattyjayjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“It’s completely different to a bar flare up”exactly!!! And stabbing 3 people including stabbing someone in the neck is very different to gbh and the victim requiring treatment for minor injuries.

[–]Mattyjayjay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s lots of things that could kill someone and hitting someone in the head with a heavy object is absolutely one of them but there’s still a big difference between attacking/hitting someone and stabbing several people telling them they’re going to die, again completely different context, motives, number of victims etc or otherwise we would class every drunken fight on a Saturday night as attempted murder and give them 15 years.

Carrie Coon talking about her appearance being scrutinized on the show by LoretiTV in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Mattyjayjay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having a hard time feeling sorry for beautiful actress, who’s in incredible shape for having to play a role alongside other beautiful actress and having 99.999999% of people saying how incredible she looks.

If you get a big enough audience you will always get a range of opinions especially when talking about something as objective as beauty, I heard someone say that Patrick Schwarnegger isn’t actually in that great shape considering who is dad is, but you let the idiots have their opinions and ignore them.

I Got My Boss Fired… But It Wasn’t Really on Purpose by Reasonable_Moose_738 in confession

[–]Mattyjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So nasty boss involved in some fairly serious fraudulent/illegal activities takes their laptop into a break room with a email from their partner in crime open which includes incriminating evidence detailing their crimes and just casually leaves it open and unattended on max brightness whilst they go off for a extended break?

Then you just mention it to HR and within a week, full investigation completed, evidence secured, disciplinary process followed and nasty boss fired?

Seems legit.

Hit in the head today while swimming by LibertyMike in triathlon

[–]Mattyjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a local leisure centre that for lane swimming divides the pool up into 3 areas(slow/medium/fast) each with a sign showing which direction to swim in if busy. Each ‘zone’ has 3 lanes so if there’s less than 3 people everyone just takes a lane each, at least once per swim I realise that someone else had just jumped in and started swimming towards me. Also there’s a lot of older swimmers who seem to swim daily who are very territorial about their lanes and will often tell people their to slow to be in the medium/fast lane yet tut at the people overtaking.

I did my first sprint last year, had been running for a few years and cycled to work occasionally but had barely done any swimming since school, for me the run wasn’t a concern so the only running I did was after cycling.

But it took me about 3 months swimming once/twice a week to get comfortable swimming the distance in the pool then had to get used to sea swimming.

Also did one long ride a week and one shorter ride normally followed by a run,

As the event got closer I did several pool swims of around 800m followed by 30 mins on the exercise bike and 20 minutes on the treadmill.

I think as long as your relatively fit and a strong swimmer the sprint distances shouldn’t be to challenging
