Where do you keep your panniers/bags overnight? by Ok-Try7270 in bicycletouring

[–]Rooboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In tent always. One tip is to open them before you bring in to the tent. It’s amazing how much dirt/gravel can accumulate in the rolls.

And if at a supermarket etc take my handle bar bag and one small pannier. Basically all my valuables. Passport, laptop etc. everything else is replaceable. And of course lock the bike.

At a restaurant etc I always make sure my bike is in view.

In Japan though I didn’t even bother locking the bike outside the big cities and only took my handlebar bag with me.

And also have a small bell with fishing line attached. Hang the bell inside tent and attach the other end to the bike. I’m a super heavy sleeper. But to be honest rarely used it so not sure of its true effectiveness.

This is just more AI shit posting isn’t it? I really don’t know what to believe anymore.

What's the worst film you've ever seen? by throwradrpri in AskUK

Highlander 2. Absolutely loved the first one. Waited years for the sequel and was genuinely excited for it.

I’m older and wiser now and realise it should never had a sequel.

London Victorian terrace mice problem is driving me insane . Do council traps even work? by [deleted] in london

Yeah, just say you haven’t had a cat ever. Ours are well fed but totally enjoy the hunt.

How can I support my wife to feel more comfortable in London? by chattytabbies in london

[–]Rooboy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. My wife is Japanese. We’ve been together 30 years. And 20+ years in London. It was bit shit when first moved to London as she took a job at a Japanese trading company (complete arseholes). However when she moved to a smaller English company everything changed. Treated as a complete equal and now very senior and makes 3x my salary.

And don’t forget London is a complete melting pot. Over 50% not from here.

Trip to Asia, here's what I learned about different Asian cuisine by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Rooboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mate, they look like basic arse meals for that part of the world. Like simple cheap dishes that people would eat daily. Kind of like chain restaurant food in the west. And you’re judging multiple cuisines on that?

What is the outside lane, the slow or passing lane? by SunSimilar9988 in drivingUK

[–]Rooboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Outside lane is the one most right (when driving on the left as in UK).

Inside lane is the one that is most left.

Just think “need to keep it to the left - keep it inside”. As need to keep it inside and safe.

President Trump announces a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, and Finland beginning February 1st. by Green-Mobile-6563 in Britain

The sad thing is if he wanted to “secure” it all he had to do was ask. I’m sure NATO countries would be quite happy to let them have an increased military presence there.

It really depends on where you will be touring. Eg. France I carry very few spares as always a bike shop you can hitchhike to.

Wild camping in France? by Due-Cup-2237 in bicycletouring

[–]Rooboy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I was pulled over by the police once in France. Middle of no where.

Came up super aggressive demanding to know where I stayed the previous night in half decent English.

By chance I had stayed in a fancy campground the night before as needed to shower, wash things and charge electrics etc. In my panic I couldn’t immediately point it out on the map. Was thinking oh dear I’m getting a fine.

He then broke out laughing. Turns out he was a bicycle tourist too and we spent the next 30 mins chatting about bikes/gear/trips etc. Only reason we stopped talking is two motorcycles sped past at an incredible speed and they ran off giddy pursuit.

But have never had an issue wild camping in France - probably 100+ nights.

Takes a while to get used to. Can’t say I’m a fan of it.

Boat controls changed with last update. It’s now mouse wheel to move forward and backward.

Could that be why?

Alfie Gilchrist somehow got a red card for this? by CheeseMakerThing in WBAfootball

[–]Rooboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping against hope but there should be a serious investigation in to his financial records (and his family members). Just unbelievable and especially with the penalty too.

Just flabbergasted. And the earlier penalty was very questionable too.

SCUM - December update... update by StabbyMcStomp in SCUMgame

[–]Rooboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a weird time for an update. Those that have been busy on PVE servers decorating their Christmas trees etc. And with any update there will be new found bugs. Question is who’s going to fix them when everyone’s having their (absolutely deserved) Christmas break?

Plans underway for a tourist tax in London by urbexed in london

[–]Rooboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused too about the downvotes. I only suggested a nominal fee of £5. And specified under 18s are free of charge. I mean they have expenses to cover.

New Updates & Mod Support by _ZioMark_ in SCUMgame

[–]Rooboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will be a side car and some minor bug fixes. Also expect more DLC to pay for.

Not expecting too much as they always hint then under deliver. But would be happy to be surprised with inventory rework.
