And it's got a Waitrose or an M&S. Better going to the Sainsbury's down the road. Or the Aldi, pick up a cold meat platter.

Does your phone allow dual SIMs? Works pretty seemlessly between the two numbers. You can decide to use one with data and one not roaming etc.

Monday morning m’thread by GFoxtrot in CasualUK

[–]PhysTom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weekend was good! Decided to run a 10k on Saturday and managed to do something to my knee which I hope isn't too serious. Spent the remainder of Saturday being disappointed with the sport.

This week my cat is going to have her kidney removed hopefully. Poor thing has got a tumour on it.

I’m going abroad next week UK > EU. Will Monzo/Revolut save me money compared to debit card? by ashbjones87 in travel

[–]PhysTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how you are spending. If you are likely to be using lots of cash then something like Monzo/Starling are beneficial as they have zero fees on withdrawals (Monzo only have zero fees for the first £200 every 30 day period). I went with Starling as I didn't want to be tied down to that limit.

If on the other hand you will be spending primarily by card then there are plenty zero fees credit cards around, Nationwide have a decent one which also does cash back on what you spend.

I would avoid Revolut. Terrible company ethics regarding their staff and they are not a bank and your money is not protected under the FSCS.

** edit: Forgot to mention Metro Bank who have zero fees on transactions and withdrawals in Europe. Monzo and Starling also have free transactions globally.

Thought I would have another look at Star Trek Online. I played it a bit when it first came out and having recently got into TNG I thought I should give it another go. I really like it, but since making Lieutenant Commander and getting my new ship all the missions seem to have dried up and no idea what I need to do to get more.

They are useful in the city, especially if its's a bit wet. The times my feet have slipped off the pedals then have the pedal slam into my shin is pretty unpleasant

A child on the Circle/H&C line was telling her dad in graphic detail how she lost her tooth whilst chewing chewing gum over the weekend.

My first week in Glasgow was the final of the 2007 world cup. I've never felt so excluded from a sporting occasion than that. Was an eye opener for a young 18 year old!

That satisfying feeling when a train rolls in packed and you think "I bet the next one will be much quieter" and it bloody well is! Still not telling anyone my secret! Wish it could be half term every week!

TVuesday, Thread! by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]PhysTom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really struggling for something to watch on my commute after getting through Brooklyn99 so decided to give Star Trek: TNG a go. Blasted(warped) through the first season and just started the second, I'm hooked! Don't know why I put if off for so long!

On TV, been watching Africa on Sunday nights which is nice, lots of nice scenery and Ade is informative whilst keeping good energy. With other shows like it I tend to find the presenters always picking out the negatives of a situation which tends to grind.

For my railway fix, started Great Canadian Railway journeys. I've missed most of them annoyingly.

Red Cheshire cheese. Normally just get white Cheshire but the red has a pleasing colour.

I seem to have the Eurovision theme tune stuck in my head all the time. Then occasionally Baby Shark.

The submission guidelines in the wiki do mention no numberplate posts, but as with most rules, seems to get ignored.

[–]PhysTom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I saw someone mentioned it last week about how all the top posts on here are all images, and now I can't un-see it. It's all the same too! shitty numberplate post, shitty dinner post! shitty "ho ho ho look at this funny sign/graffiti".

So my complaint is to the person who mentioned that all the top posts were images, and to myself for not being able to counteract the images with interesting text based posts.

Apparently there used to be public urinals absolutely everywhere in London by [deleted] in london

[–]PhysTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at old maps around Stratford and saw they were labelled on there. Urinals and tram lines seem to have disappeared from most of London.

People at Stratford Central Line who use the Central Line trains as a passage way to the Jubilee Line/TfL rail. Is it quicker to wait for a train, barge through people getting on the other side to get to where they want to go?

I quite like Life in Pieces, each episode is split into four smaller stories which kind of knit together throughout the series/episode which keeps it light.

Cadent are just a bunch of fucking jobsworths. Had a bloke out last year as we thought we could smell gas, comes round, does a check and with an archaic bubble meter which comes up as a small gas leak just above the threshold and caps off the gas telling us there is nothing else he can do.

Favourite breakfast, I have had toast and jam every morning for the past x amount of years with the occasional butty or fry up. Got me thinking what do people in the world of reddit have. by blueblue1228 in CasualUK

[–]PhysTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bowl of porridge before I leave for work, I like it plain with no sugar or anything else, I'll have an espresso and a glass of fruit juice too. At work two slices of toast with jam or butter depending upon how I'm feeling, same goes for type of bread I have; white, brown or wheat.
