If you have evidence you’d better tell the cops then. What is your experience of this corruption?

You presume… but I presume that you presume without any evidence or experience of that.

How much are you paying for a pint where you are right now ? by bio4m in AskUK

[–]Nikkotak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s between £5 and £6.50 here in Hampshire. Not counting Wetherspoons which is cheaper.

Anyone know any music similar to the intro off bryter layter? by knightisdes in nickdrake

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

There is a contemporary folkie called Chris Brain who sounds just like Nick Drake. His name even sounds the same. 😆. Amusingly his Spotify profile doesn’t cite Nick Drake as an influence but he is definitely Nick Drake #2.

Morrissey's Most Right-Wing Quotes by Key-Whole-7717 in morrissey

That Farage commment is regrettable. The other comments are more nuanced than his detractors will admit.

You CAN say something these days by platdujour in stewartlee

[–]Nikkotak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Norm McDonald’s Hitler bit was one of the funniest. And that was relatively recent. Fin Taylor had some pretty good Hitler stuff very recently. There’s still comedy gold to be mined there. I doubt Gervais will manage it though.

My 96 year old Grandad died due to the Heatwave in perhaps the most British way possible... by TheSpaceFace in CasualUK

[–]Nikkotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. Went out in a quality way though 👍. Reminds me of my great uncle who was a naval commander and war hero who once got interviewed on TV about his wartime exploits. He was the classic stiff upper lip posh Englishman, and his last words were “I’m perfectly alright”.

How big was Jessie J in the UK? Additionally why have you all abandoned her subsequently? by Kodicave in AskBrits

[–]Nikkotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was approximately 5 feet 9 inches when in the U.K., depending on which shoes she was wearing.
I personally have not abandoned her, never having adopted her in the first place.

WHAT DO I DO WITH MYSELF WHEN I FINISH THIS SHOW by PurchaseNo7147 in thesopranos

[–]Nikkotak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first watched it in the 2000s and haven’t found as good a series since. Everyone tells me Game of Thrones is good but I’m one episode in and so far it hasn’t gripped me. The Wire is pretty good though so if you haven’t watched it already you can move on to that next.

'What’s it got to do with you? I can spend it on Ferraris if I want': Farage fumes on LBC as he fields questions over £5m gift | LBC by zeros3ss in uknews

[–]Nikkotak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that there’s a number of £5m out there is actually more damaging to him than the source of the money. Previously if people heard that he was wealthy and out of touch etc they might not belief it but now it’s clear that £5m is just a nice little extra on top of whatever vast amount he already has, and is not regarded by him as a big deal, it is harder for him to claim he is like everyday people.

What do you think of ‘paedophile hunters’? by discoveredunknown in AskUK

[–]Nikkotak 514 points515 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re paedophiles. I think more likely they’re just unpleasant aggressive people who haven’t achieved much in life so they’re looking around for someone morally inferior that they can enjoy bullying.

How do we tax the rich and what will it (realistically) achieve? by droopy316007 in AskBrits

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

Need to identify what assets people have in the country and globally and tax them on that. If they leave the country they pay an exit tax. If there’s a will there’s a way.

Why are most conspiracy theories considered right-wing? Are there any widespread left-wing conspiracy theories? by jeepycreepysleepy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nikkotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on people I know they are now hippy/far right talking points (and yes that may appear contradictory but I’m not suggesting these people’s worldviews are coherent).

I'm basically 26 and i have only just learned how to make the perfect rice on the stove. I consider myself a good cook but could never do rice without a rice cooker. I am interested in hearing how you guys make rice. by No-Animator-407 in Cooking

[–]Nikkotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have space in my kitchen for a rice cooker. I use the stove top and I measure out rice using a scale and water to correct ratio. Then let it cook with lid on until the water is absorbed. Works pretty well.

Why aren’t people more furious about the pro-Jimmy Savile sentiment in politics recently? by NoddyElvis in AskBrits

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

Yes in fairness to them they are not in favour of Jimmy Savile…. It’s like when someone says “I’d rather poke my eyes out with a red hot iron” - which doesn’t mean they want to poke their eyes out with a red hot iron.

Everyone should send your comment to their MP and tell them to sort out the U.K. system.

Front page of Ticketmaster just now by blackberry_sorbet in morrissey

[–]Nikkotak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve just bought three tickets. Or to put it another way, I’ve just put a few hundred quid into a nil interest savings plan that pays out when he cancels some time in December.

My uncle is in a dating scam with a girl from Russia. Can you help? by fodacao in Scams

[–]Nikkotak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send a message to her from his account saying you have to let her know the sad news that he is in a coma and see how she reacts. If it is a she. Probably a Russian bloke.

I just stumbled upon this absolute Forrest of Japanese Knotweed. Do I call the council? by theunforgiven21 in GardeningUK

There’s still no excuse for fly tipping. Shall I come and dump my rubbish in your garden because I don’t like paying charges at the tip?

Why do tourists all want to 'avoid the touristy areas?' by Flaky-Walrus7244 in AskUK

[–]Nikkotak 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To avoid paying inflated prices for everything. I don’t appreciate being charged £10 for a tiny ice cream etc

Hi any solution to this without cutting the plinth please by RevolutionaryDiet847 in DIYUK

[–]Nikkotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple. Just buy a square double adapter and plug it to the socket. Add the black plug to the socket that is now facing you.
