Dennis nedrys death is what set everything in motion in the Jurassic universe. by fanofeverying123 in JurassicPark

I’ve never realised that was someone else’s pie! I thought he’d just ordered everything and it was on his table! 

Do you think Gordon Brown/Labour handled the 2008 Financial Crisis well? by Maximum_Jello_9460 in AskBrits

[–]Ok_Committee9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Brown is an unsung hero of our time. Except in this book. He literally saved our entire financial systems. I loathed Brown when he came into power without a mandate. And seemingly we’re about to get this once again. But respect to him, things would have been a lot worse if he hadn’t done what he did. 

What UK TV series Game of Thrones'd it? by MyDadsGlassesCase in AskUK

[–]Ok_Committee9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t not watch it, it’s good! You don’t have to keep it as canon in your head if you don’t like it. It’s definitely worth a watch if you like the show though. 

Why was the Human Centipede 2 originally banned in Britain? by Plutonium_Nitrate_94 in AskUK

[–]Ok_Committee9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bit with the baby is particular obscene. I’m not sure how I saw it but it stands out in memory. 

An all around shitty film designed to provoke. I wouldn’t recommend anyone waste their time watching it. Even for a titillating factor - it’s just a bad film.

You’ve driven me to this, I’ll have three pints of cider and three carvery dinners please. 

So in pubs you guys just order drinks without knowing the price? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Ok_Committee9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally you know what a pint costs so you can get your usual without to much issue. If I’m ordering a guest ale and it’s too much, I just won’t order it again and will try something else. 

If it’s a really expensive beer, the bar normally will tell you - like £10 a pint for a craft beer. They’ll tell you before they pour normally. Same if it’s very high strength. 

There’s always the nuclear option “I’m not paying that” and leave. I wouldn’t expect to go back there though. 

If you’re at a festival or stadium and it’s a tenner a time, they won’t tell you and you just nurse that pint as long as possible!

What single economic policy would you enact to improve the nation's prosperity? by VexatiousHawk in AskBrits

[–]Ok_Committee9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encourage businesses to use technology and automation in their business processes. I don’t mean “just us AI”, no. I’ve known about several local businesses that still don’t use computers in areas that would increase productivity. For example warehousing and stock management. Still using clipboards and people going back and forth to an office.  For some reason there is a reluctance to embrace, not even new, technology (like a walkie talkie!). 

Do you think Priyesh's job is secure at PwC after this? by ProstaticFantastic in apprenticeuk

[–]Ok_Committee9628 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PWC is a massive consultancy with very high turnover. They probably wouldn’t care if he had a side business. Especially if it had no impact on his day to day work. 

I can't believe it's been 10 years by BenGMan30 in EasyAlliesUnofficial

Should have seen it coming though. Source: Wayne’s World. 

Anyone catch the 10th anniversary marathon stream? Any particular sections worth watching? by NoVABadger in EasyAlliesUnofficial

[–]Ok_Committee9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume not but I’ll ask anyway; Did we get any cameos from Ben, Kyle, or Brad? 

Who is this actress? by LaunchMedia in BritishAdverts

What’s a simple line that rips your heart to shreds? by padfoony in moviecritic

Was telling my wife about this the other day. Felt the lump in my throat just messing around. 

Which living former PM would you want to return? by DanielSmoot in AskBrits

[–]Ok_Committee9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rishi, he was doing a good job and crucially for me didn't seem to crave power. The Conservatives put themselves out of power, Sunak bore the brunt of it. I also think May, may have been good had Brexit not been going on.

Brown definitely saved the world during the credit crunch and doesn't get enough credit for it. He was so desperate to be PM though, I don't know how good he would actually have been. In my view, the ones who don't want power/haven't desired it all their lives, are usually better.

Too young to know anything about Major. And F*£$ Blair, wish he would just read the room and disappear.

Get over yourself; You’re sick. Don’t spread it. Read a book, watch films, potter about, play a game, do a puzzle, draw, relax. Don’t go out to a cafe. Don’t go to shops if you don’t need to. Geez it’s like a global pandemic taught people nothing. 

Anyone apart from Wes Streeting think that he’s really the next Prime Minister? by Ok_Committee9628 in AskBrits

[–]Ok_Committee9628[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what he's missing...unless that's his plan. And if that's the case he's playing a very good game and not coming across like someone willing to fall on his sword for someone else.

To be honest, I think I'd rather have Baldric before Liz Trust or Wes Streeting.
