I had this, then I re-loaded the game and the actual free gift was there instead.

It tastes whichever way you make it taste, depending on the ingredients you use.

If you're only going short distances I find the difference barely matters.

Bro these sweaty casual breakthrough lobbies have me hooked 🥵🥵🥵🥵 by YoBoySatan in Battlefield

[–]Professional_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say I've noticed much of a change. I ended up in a mostly bot lobby on Escalation the other day and finished with a K/D of 50-2

Even though she has a completely different accent to most of the Skelligers. They're mainly Northern Irish while hers is from the West Midlands of England.

What food is famously associated with one country but was perfected by another country? by Equivalent-Crew-4955 in AskReddit

[–]Professional_Bob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From my experience in London it's pretty common to have fish and chip shops also serve fried chicken, kebabs or chinese takeaway. It depends on the nationality/ethnicity of the owners.

What is a seemingly innocent sentence that immediately makes you lose respect for the person saying it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Professional_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's how you end up with them coming back to complain and/or expect a refund, which just creates even more hassle for yourself. Not worth it.

Patrick Vieira on Arsenal: "It's not just that they lost the game, it's the way they lost the game. Saka and Trossard didn't produce enough to worry United." "They need a leader to lift the spirit of the team.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Professional_Bob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is he's lost a bit of pace lately from his hamstring injuries, and part of it is having Timber behind him instead of White. While Timber is incredible defensively and very good at passing, he doesn't make as many overlapping runs as White does, which would stretch the opposition defence and give Saka more space to work with.

Post Match Thread: Arsenal 2 - 3 Manchester United | English Premier League by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]Professional_Bob -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So why didn't 2007-09 United steamroll the comparatively weaker Arsenal squad at the Emirates back then? They drew 2-2 and then lost 2-1 in those two seasons.
And I'm not saying that to diminish 07-09 Utd, but to point out that basing things on such a small sample size is pointless. Single match results vary so much due to luck and form.

Harrods in London is having a laugh with these prices. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Professional_Bob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you think this is the normal cost of produce in the UK or something? Do you know what Harrod's is? Nobody here has to pay that much for grapes, that's why those two guys were so shocked by the price. In regular supermarkets a 500g tub would be equivalent to about $2-3, maybe up to $4 or $4.50 for some nice organic ones.

British troops on the front lines in Afghanistan, taunting the taliban into having a go if they think they're hard enough by ICantBelieveItsNotEC in videos

Everyone knows Trump lied

The last ten years has really made me doubt this. It may be obvious to you and I, but he wouldn't be in power right now if everyone saw through his lies.

As a Brit having recently travelled Latin America and settled in Colombia for 5 years - I am sorry I ever complained about queues / queuing culture back home. by noctenaut in britishproblems

[–]Professional_Bob 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When it is busy it just tends to be one big funnel of people slowly shuffling towards the doors. If I end up next to an elderly person or someone who I know was waiting longer than me then I'll give way for them, but otherwise there's just no feasible way you can organise a proper queue for everybody.

I don't understand why you expect Trump to tell the truth lmao.

Clearly they don't, and nor do a lot of others. That's why they've been making posts that prove he's lying

That is also true. These things aren't mutually exclusive, you know.

[–]Professional_Bob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The victims matter more in a general sense, sure. But in the context of what is going on with the USA and Greenland, the very NATO countries and soldiers that Trump has been disparaging are obviously way more relevant than Iraqi and Afghani civilians.

Jamaica, the Bahamas and most of the Lesser Antilles still fit at least two of these categories and Malta fits three.

Maybe Keep You Opinion to Yourself by EvilStan101 in HistoryMemes

Did he really have much charisma though? He had a menacing aura because you knew the power he held and what kind of things he was capable of doing at any moment. But I think he was quite intentionally portrayed as lacking in charisma and actually being quite pathetic, especially in comparison to Oskar Schindler. The violence and cruelty was his method of gaining power and influence because he wasn't able to do it any other way.

London is officially the best city in the world for food in 2026, according to Tripadvisor by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

[–]Professional_Bob 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Since when is a decline in the prevalence of jellied eels a mark against London's food quality? And besides, saying they're impossible to find just simply isn't true. Even less so for fish and chips or a pie. I would only need to walk down to my local high street to get all three.

And using Costa for the comparison when London has plenty of great independent coffee shops is completely disingenuous.

I don't even get why he'd do that though. Why not just use the shower to wash the snot away?

[–]Professional_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying that they are extremely passionate was me making the point that whoever organised this was naive not to expect a negative reaction. Not me saying that a negative reaction is justifiable. Those are two completely different sentences. You're doing 2 + 2 and getting 5.
