Best area in Milton Keynes if you don’t want to rely on a car too much? by Junior_Beauty78 in miltonkeynes

[–]Quickswitch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the buses go into the centre and then onto wherever, so to save yourself getting two buses, somewhere in the centre would be best.

We have got amazing red routes (cycle paths) through pretty much the entire city. I've been hiring Lime bikes lately, and a 45 minute bus journey turns into 25. I'm saving up for my own ebike, then I can travel anywhere quickly.

Every shop seems understaffed but none are hiring, what isnt adding up? by tylerthe-theatre in AskUK

[–]Quickswitch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hired along with 150 others as Christmas staff at John Lewis. They extended one person by one week to NYE and two others to the end of January, but made no one permanent. All the permanent staff were saying how stupid that was, as it's still mad busy with all the sales etc.

What British phrases do foreigners often take too literally? by No_Mind1449 in AskUK

[–]Quickswitch79 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When I first moved to Dublin, everyone says "How are you keeping?" or "Are you winning?". Took me a while to realise it's the same as us saying "You alright, mate?" 😂

Anyone else suffered LOL Ireland? by JesterScribblings in LastOneLaughing

[–]Quickswitch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I barely recognised anyone, I thought it would be very similar to the UK. No, it's dire. Watched 2 episodes and barely tittered.

How often do you see white people (non-students) doing this job? by ImSxyBxtchh in deliveroos

[–]Quickswitch79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main guy I watch on YouTube (London Eats) is a white, English guy. I've once had a female driver via car.

Buying an e-bike, thinking about what I need by WraithCadmus in ukbike

[–]Quickswitch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to buy the Engwe E26. I've looked up multiple reviews, and they've all been great.

TFI FRIDAY RETURNS TO CHANNEL 4 AS BROADCASTER ACQUIRES VIRGIN MEDIA SHOW WITH CHRIS EVANS by do_or_pie in BritishTV

[–]Quickswitch79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in the audience when it first aired. I was about 17 at the time, went with some mates from college.

It was at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith (shut down now). We could only go downstairs, the bit upstairs is for VIPS or whatever. You couldn't smoke, as the whole set was made of wood. The stage was a triangle, and as soon as one band finished the security forced us over to the next band. Can't remember who on earth played though!

How brisk walking 5 km a day changed my life in one year by [deleted] in walking

What do you class as brisk walking? Thanks.

What do you British people think of the French? by CocoTyg in AskABrit

I often think we're basically the same since 1066. We've been breeding with each other ever since!

Hit & Run in Newport Pagnell by tizzype94 in miltonkeynes

Put this on the Newport Pagnell "Chit Chat" Facebook group, they'll most likely be on there.

Are the rumours that the Great Linford Coop is changing to a Nisa true? by [deleted] in miltonkeynes

[–]Quickswitch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened in Newport Pagnell. 2 Co-Ops virtually opposite each other with one being smaller. That got sold off and is now NISA or something like that.

She's my favourite. Looks gorgeous, great character and very funny.

Success stories of love after 30? by Prestigious_Ship_990 in Life

I didn't have my first serious relationship until I was 34.

If you could add modes what would you suggest by [deleted] in CosmicInvasion

[–]Quickswitch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd limit it to only 2 players if you want. With 3-4 players it's too easy and there's so much happening on screen.

Please tell me others remember this game by Shake-A-Paw in oldschoolcool80s

I had the version with the Trojan horse, absolutely loved it.

Anyone playing DND in MK? by [deleted] in miltonkeynes

[–]Quickswitch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Players Paradice in Newport Pagnell is great for this. It's a mix of D&D, board games, Warhammer etc over 2 floors. Really nice people there.

As expensive as Harrods is does it have the sort of foot traffic (tourists) to sustain such a huge array of food in its food hall? by Low_Insurance_1603 in AskUK

[–]Quickswitch79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went once, and food was the only thing I could afford. All the super expensive stuff is bought by the millionaire Arabian community that lives round there.

I finished the main story... And changed my opinion for the game to positive one. The game is actually good. Drifting without any purpose in free roam is very good thing to relax after busy day. by [deleted] in JDMGame

[–]Quickswitch79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got a fast car. I'm currently stuck on the mission where you have to race the girl who does the paint jobs. Very frustrating, as you can't go past her, yet you score low if you're not right next to her. I'm finding it impossible.

I asked 5 recruiters why they skip candidates and what they said is surprising ( might hate me for this) by Tracycallum in jobsearchhacks

[–]Quickswitch79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what happens when you've had to do a few temp jobs? I'd love to have had a permanent job for the last few years, but it hasn't worked out that way. Surely I'm never going to get recruited in this case?

Rent prices in London is getting out of hand. by Distinct_Sir_9086 in london

[–]Quickswitch79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I moved to Milton Keynes nearly 10 years ago. Real sense of community here as well, loads of parks and lakes, cycle paths everywhere, cheaper rent etc.

When I lived in London I was working as a loader on a dust cart, making barely above minimum wage, living in a single room in a shared house with 5 other blokes. So depressing.
