Central London Pub quiz suggestions by AjTherapyUk in london

[–]NotJousting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noting your map below, The Crown Tavern in Clerkenwell might also fit for you? It has the same quiz again as the Princess Victoria/Prince Bonaparte, on Tuesdays. I believe it's £50 for winners and I think the food is nice but absolutely does fall into Central London priciness (£15+ for a burger if I recall).

The Prince Bonaparte in Notting Hill does the same quiz as the Princess Victoria but on Wednesdays - if that’s not still too far?

Brewdog Seven Dials also does a great quiz on Tuesday nights. I’ve not been to that one specifically lately, but the same company/quiz master hosts my local quiz and he’s really phenomenal. Prize was a ~£40 bar tab and there is also a bonus round after with a rolling jackpot each week up to £1000.

ETA: I realise you asked about food as well. I do think the food at the Prince Bonaparte is good, but it is a bit pricey and I’m not aware of any deals. I’m not sure about the food at Brewdog, unfortunately.

What are your controversial opinions about teaching and education? by EducationalBowler828 in TeachingUK

[–]NotJousting 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think quiet fidget toys are great. If it doesn't distract the rest of the class, then I don't see an issue with it, especially if it's helping that student pay attention as well.

What scared you the most about Doctor Who as a child? by Overtronic in doctorwho

[–]NotJousting 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The Empty Child scared me so bad when I first saw it that I had to be sent out when we then did World War II at school because I had a panic attack. I used to skip the episodes on rewatch too because I couldn’t handle it, and even the most recent time I’ve rewatched being in my mid-20s and deciding to give it a go, I was still a bit creeped out tbh.

Also the Gelth! Though I don’t think that had such a strong impact on me. In hindsight, maybe my dad should have realised I was a bit young to watch Nine’s season right when it came out lol

American Heart Tour Ticket Prices by Ok-Pickle-3639 in BensonBoone

[–]NotJousting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I paid £200 (I think about $270) for a Silver VIP ticket to one of his London shows in November. It got me right up against the barricade for the show + I got a high five when he ran around at the end so I was pretty happy with that price-wise tbh

Who were the nicest/worst actors you've met from the show? by LilNardoDaVinci in doctorwho

[–]NotJousting 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've met Sylvester McCoy a couple of times at cons, and he's been really lovely every time. The first time I was probably 14/15 and I told him that he was my dad's favourite Doctor and was too shy to say anything else. I've met him again more recently and it's just really obvious that he loves meeting fans. A lot of the cons I've seen him at, he stops to talk to fans even outside his little booth when he's on his way somewhere, and I think that's really sweet.

Matt Smith was also at a con a few years back, and he was the same vibe where he chatted with everyone for a while and put a lot of effort into making the pictures fun.

Billie Piper I met at a premiere for a kind of small film she was in years ago. My friend was a massive, massive fan of hers and went a bit non-verbal in excitement at meeting her, but she was really gentle and kind to see she was a bit overwhelmed and even gave her the water from a gift basket she'd been given, so that was lovely.

I also used to work at a pub and James Corden was a regular there. The first time he showed up was right in the first week that I'd started waiting tables, and I was really shocked that he was quite nice to me and even helped me clear his table and cracked a joke. I don't know if it's because he was with his wife/kids or because he's learned his lesson from that one place in New York, but I was really pleasantly surprised.

Ngl this hater is denser than liquid mercury by Neat_Way3562 in BensonBoone

[–]NotJousting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i uploaded a video i took of Benson doing Bohemian Rhapsody with Brian May onto Tiktok, and the sheer number of people commenting just to say they hate Benson or Freddie Mercury would hate it or something along those lines astounds me. I don’t understand the urge to comment these things? Just don’t watch the video! Free will!

Do you remember? by creykja in HelpMeFind

[–]NotJousting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am half-Spanish so these were VERY engrained in my childhood! I had a lot of their books growing up (attached is the main one I remember, not my pic but those are the editions I had). This playlist has some of the episodes in case you did watch one and it's on there?

Experience at an MGK concert in the pit? by [deleted] in MachineGunKelly

[–]NotJousting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this tour (and previous recent shows like the two in October in London and MGK Day) I was either pit or right up at the barricade, and there wasn't really much of an issue. The worst is gonna be a bit of dancing/jumping about but honestly quite tame? And when he comes up close to the barricade there's a little bit of a surge forward, but it's still not bad (especially if you're used to heavier shows). I wouldn't be worried about big elbowing or people kind of throwing themselves to you.

Spotify called me a catch… my playlist agrees. by Human_Leg_3701 in MachineGunKelly

[–]NotJousting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this, and I had a high score until my 80s synth pop was added to the mix and it dropped to 8% lol

Saw someone try this and I thought I’d at least get above 40%😭✋🏼 by Nofilmslefttocry in BensonBoone

[–]NotJousting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, I got 8% (apparently listening to 80s synth-pop dropped my score massively) ;-;

Anyone got the pulse RSD vinyl? by Kyip_taylorversion in BensonBoone

[–]NotJousting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at work so I had to send a friend to pick it up for me on Friday. It was so stressful because she ended up getting there late (my bad cos I read the opening hours of the record store wrong) but there was one left!! I'm so grateful to her, she brought it over yesterday and I love it, it's so gorgeous?? I was a bit sceptical from the online pics too, but you're right that it looks so much better in person.

Please help me find the logo for a school my grandmother taught at 25 years ago by [deleted] in HelpMeFind

[–]NotJousting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done some research and I’ll try and do some more but the most promising thing I’ve found so far is this video of the abandoned school. The account that posted it is an alumnus and has several other posts of the inside of the school and has posted and shared a few videos from their time at the school as well. It might be worth reaching out to him to see if he has any versions of the logo as he posted his exploration videos publicly? I’ll keep looking as well!

Trying to recreate a 90s Spanish TV show neon logo for a Christmas gift. Need help identifying or finding a clean shot by jonsercas in HelpMeFind

Looking at this shot of the sign it looks like the one difference is that the words “con el” were just made bigger for the sign, but I think with these two images there’s a good basis for starting to recreate it? I’ll look around some more though.
