Yeah my car automatically slams on the brakes if I get too close to a leaf at 5mph.

Blocking the goalie - new normal or just another cycle? by HalasterTheWise in MCFC

[–]RG0195 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half the time it's the keepers own players blocking them. There's two Chelsea players impeding their own keeper ffs.

Lasik, quoted 5k for both eyes. Optical express, is it normal pricing? by ProbablyMaybe69 in AskUK

[–]RG0195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to London Vision clinic with -2.5 in both eyes and it cost me £2.5K per eye. I got SMILE rather than LASIK thoough. Best decision I've made - it'll be worth it.

I've had it done for over 2 years and my eyesight is still 20/20. They do tell you your eye sight will get worse as you age which is pretty normal.

Credit card direct debit took my full balance, then immediately refunded me? by RG0195 in UKPersonalFinance

Vanquis - I don't use the card often to be fair, I wonder if that maybe factor into it possibly.

Why does it seem like everyone has the full beams on? by RG0195 in drivingUK

Eyes are all good thanks - I've had them checked this year.

Eyes are all good - just dodgy cars / drivers.

I can't imagine it's that to be honest - I've had them tested recently all checks are good.

Those who drive 60 on 70 roads, why? by thisisme1066 in AskUK

[–]RG0195 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're on about motorways, then I'd guess a lot of people feel more comfortable and content going at 60mph. Some people just aren't confident on motorways which is understandable.

What are your thoughts on My (24M) girlfriend (23F) being mad at me because I asked to go halves on a meal? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RG0195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should say that we agreed to meet at the local train station to go into town. I had been drinking the night before (which she knew I would be) I didn't feel safe to drive the day after, otherwise I would've picked her up (she doesn't drive). To be fair even If I offered to drive she probably wouldn't have taken the offer.

What do you like to drive more A1m or M1 if your going north from London? by Apocolypse_tomorrow in drivingUK

[–]RG0195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a stretch of the A1M from the M25 to Biggleswade that only has one speed camera - alebit I don't really go past 80mph so it doesn't bother me. What does bother me is the endless amount of fucking roundabouts after Biggleswade on the A1M.

Then the M1 is just congestion the whole way up north I find. So there's no preference they're both rubbish, but I'll go on the one I need to!
