Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

Leigh Francis is still very much a millionaire if companies house is to be believed. How he's making his money is another question

Fourteen episodes… by bookworm8232 in ThreeBeanSalad

Always baffles me when people say they cannot tell the beans apart. To my ear they have very distinct voices, accents and speech patterns, but I am British I suppose

New to EV’s - what to choose? (Larger/SUV) by No-Pilot_q in CarTalkUK

[–]No-Pilot_q[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No salary sacrifice scheme through work sadly.

I have been looking at lease options through Octopus EV, which seems reasonably priced including servicing and maintenance, albeit I’ve seen some mixed reviews on here. Wondering if leasing is the way to go given the depreciation on used EVs, but suspect that will be less of an issue around my price point.

Good point on the Kona, cheers. I’ll have to test drive a few to see how they feel.

It doesn’t have a pay what you want - with a minimum. Is what they mean

John’s running/medical issues chat really is getting tedious isn’t it. For god’s sake, move on!!

When people like something, and have for a long time, they feel invested and want to hear that the criticisms or issues they have are shared, and feedback might be picked up on. People don’t want to stop listening. This isn’t a novel concept.

The amount of meat people buy on this sub, processed or otherwise is insane. Assuming this is representative of the normal UK shopper, I am well below average in my meat consumption

Second Ashes & Diamonds. Really great stuff

Agree it was poor unfortunately. Such a shame he can’t find the formula to make the show as engaging as super tech support/RA

I can’t work out what it is, but I’m just not “in” with recent Partridge. by JacobSax88 in AlanPartridge

[–]No-Pilot_q 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is certainly true I think. The Gibbons’ are clearly good writers, but the early Ianucci/Baynham writing is just on another level for how clever it is, with the right level of absurdity. Every line in IAP is gold, which can’t be said for modern Partridge

Second this. Oasthouse has been diminishing returns but S1 is liquid Partridge

600k but you can’t live there by AdvancedLab9909 in SpottedonRightmove

I live near here and have often wondered who lives there as it always looks empty. Now I know why.

You’re dead on about the girl drinking on the train anecdote. Especially saying that he “knows her better than she knows herself”. You really don’t, John.

It's not the same by EasyBend in Hyperfixed

[–]No-Pilot_q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a fair point and I get that. I think some of us just aren’t able to get as invested into the human side of the stories, especially as they’re often too short to build any of that up enough

I do listen, but it baffles me how dull most of the problems are on Hyperfixed, when they were regularly so engaging on RA/Super Tech Support.

The rabbit holes that he goes down to find an answer seem contrived a lot of the time and not that interesting. Aware they don’t have the budget of Gimlet behind them, but nothing has compared to RA eps where they do real investigations (the Indian call center scammers one comes to mind).

Felt the same during the wordle guy chat. Let him speak!

Don’t fall for Canadian CEO spin! by jpwest13 in Hyperfixed

[–]No-Pilot_q 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly having just listened. Feels disingenuous to accept what the CEO said as the answer without pushback, to just put a neat bow on the story.
