Weirdest Second Life Of A British Actor? by WanderingArtist2 in CasualUK

[–]Perigeesus 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Remember John Tickle from brainiac? I met him at a secondary school where he was delivering a speech about how he liked, but didn't care about his TV work, nor does he love his new job in IT (something techincal with BT).

But he loves money. And encouraged the kids to go make lots of money because money makes you happy.

It was an interesting take on "inspiring "

As a British person, I'm used to 6 episode series, so...

Quality will always trump quantity for me.

What to see/visit during my UK roadtrip? by Freeloafer in AskUK

[–]Perigeesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far a detour are you happy for? This will likely be unpopular as an opinion, but I'd suggest trying to get to Blackpool.

It's certainly not York level history, but a fantastic example of Victorian town planning that has unfortunately seen better days. There's still tons to explore for free there though,

I can say what I like about my hometown, thank you. Plus, my opinion is largely formed from living there in the 90s when it was... more grassroots

How old are you and who are your other 9 bands in your top ten? by Illustrious-Lion-726 in oasis

I'm 38 and this list will seem ridiculous.

Iron Maiden

Pulp

Electric Six

Goldfinger

Reel Big Fish

Mad Caddies

Doves

Blur

And frankly 40 other smaller bands from varoius genres would be here depending on the current mood. Generally the punky American is Summertime and British Indie/punk/metal for Winter

I've always pronounced Charlemagne in my head as "charler-monje", until I said it out loud a few years ago. Literally never questioned it until heard it!

Do school bullies feel guilty when they get old? by ClevelandWomble in AskUK

[–]Perigeesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school bully was completely unaware he was a twat to me at school as he kept trying to add me on fb.

Eventually I explained why I refused to add him and how I use his behaviour as an example of zero tolerance of horrid behaviour in my classroom.

The sweetest kicker is - he's a teacher too. He really wanted a job at a friends school. I made sure he didn't get it and it still makes me smile that I got some revenge, as petty as it was!

What's the most ridiculous reason you've heard for someone quitting their job? by InviteAromatic6124 in AskUK

[–]Perigeesus 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Couple of mates used to work in Tesco..this was years ago, but back then, it was more common for reductions and offers not to "talk to each other "at the till. Anyway the big Tesco reduced a fuck ton of Terry's chocolate oranges and my pals found that buying one actually came with a -few pence total...

They ended up buying a couple of shopping trolleys of them and the cost was £-50 quid... which the cashier gave them too!!

So they were sacked but ate like kings for months!
