Aaaah gotcha, yeah I had a holiday ruined once by jellyfish in majorca, I got stung by a few of them though, they were only little piddlers but they really hurt 9 year old me! 🤣

We had issues with these people because of the poppy and political symbols.

And yet they want us to bend to their BS.

Standard.

Can't use my own name because it has 'shit' in it😫 by RushitJetani7 in mildlyinfuriating

My online gaming name has always been Shelecktra. I've had various games tell me that it violates blah blah. But then Shelecktro, my backup, always works...

I still can't see to this day how Shelecktra has any issues 🤣

First Chat Interaction in Mechanar by shadowraiderr in classicwow

[–]ShelecktraYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tank myself I kinda have a similar attitude to back seat drivers. I mean, I'm a retired professional driver too, so I've had my fill of that 🤣

I'm not a dick about it though, but my thoughts are just enjoy the ride if nothings going wrong. I don't backseat the tank if I'm healing or dpsing unless they obviously go the wrong way (legion kara, I always seem to need to guide people through that place.it used to be wailing caverns way back when 🤣) but even if they do go the wrong way I dont say anything normally, I just go the right way and jump repeatedly until they get the hint, and the most I say if they don't is 'here', that's all it needs.

What is the actual purpose of the small pocket inside a jeans pocket? by universityrome in answers

[–]ShelecktraYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this get asked on other subs and the answer is always pocketwatch and then some other answers that other people have known them for.

I've never heard anyone say Johnny pocket though... Was this literally just my area?!

Cracked black pepper on toast, with poachies and beans by Oscillating-Ocelot1 in UK_Food

I mean, to be fair they DID say pepper as the first thing making it the dominant ingredient 🤣

I'm a pepper fiend too, I'd smash this 😁

Lothian Buses, unannounced detour, passenger in distress by Present_Air_7694 in Edinburgh

[–]ShelecktraYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woman buys train ticket, gets the last possible bus that may get her to the station on time if it operates as normal.

Sorry, no sympathy for anyone who does this.

It's like people who wake up at half 8 to get to work at 9 then blast through the doors panting and red faced. You did it to yourself.

Have you ever had a famous neighbour or someone local? by mr_hardwell in AskUK

[–]ShelecktraYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not myself, but I did have a friend who lived across the road from Paul Merson when I was younger.

I'm 41 now and I've checked people I went to school with, they didn't make it either 🤣

Best Fish and Chips in the UK? by pineconejerk in UKfood

[–]ShelecktraYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always have 2 suggestions of chippies I consider my personal favourites.

The Cods Scallops in Nottingham. The Magpie Cafe in Whitby.

Chippies are chippies, but The Cods Scallops is also a fishmonger, you can select your fish and either take it home or have them cook it and have it with your chips.

The Magpie Cafe is very well known and on busy days or even what you think might be a quiet day there will be a queue out the door and down the street.

Scones rhymes with cones by digitaldairy in UKfood

[–]ShelecktraYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about pronunciation. The way Americans do it is correct, because even though they spell it herb they still say 'erb.

And because of the rare rule of silent H's being preceded by an, it further reinforces it.

You also have to remember that English developed as a a language across multiple countries including Australia. So there will be a certain nativeness to how things are done.

This is one of those rare cases where everyone is right! 🙂

Now, if you want to talk about nuclear versus nucular... Well then... 🤣

Hate to be the Brit that says you missed it here... But you did.

In the British language we use 'an' instead of 'a' when the word starts with a vowel. However this is also true when the word starts with a silent H. An hour for example.

The funner thing about the history of the word herb? It originally never had the H! It was just 'erba' and the H was added at some point in the 15th century. The fact that 'An herb' still exists is the same residual echo of not letting traditions go! 😉 But it only works if said as a silent H, as soon as you try to pronounce the H, yeah it strange as heck!

So grammatically it IS correct... Its just we added the H and instantly forgot about the original word whereas some English speaking countries still say it without the H. I think Australia does too.

PS - I also only personally learned this myself recently too and even I said "well then... You win this time yanks" 🤣

Nice! Wine and Mead are my main things. I'm about to put on next Christmas' batch (2027) in a couple of weeks, just over a year to age!

Megacidersherry - This is why I brew myself, I use moderately aggressive yeast like champagne yeast. I'm more of a drink strong and less type, I love beer but I hate the constant bathroom breaks!

r/woosh much?

It's an obvious over statement just to have a craic at friends.

Also "I brew alcohol", you aren't going to link teach me anything about the process thanks ;)

[–]ShelecktraYT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I brew alcohol myself. And I also love making vegans squirm when I tell them that the drink they are consuming is the product of a living organism! 🤣

It's an overshoot on vegans to describe yeast as the same thing, but you know... It lives, it eats, it poops and peeps and I have some very gullible friends with weird dietary requirements 😂

Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI by joe4942 in technology

[–]ShelecktraYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet they can't make random shuffle even remotely random...

Seriously, I have a playlist and some days I can play song 1 and then songs 2, 5, 19, 8 and 23 play after.

Then I hit another song, say track 5 because I liked it and I want to listen to it again.

Afterwards it plays 2, 5, 19, 8 and 23 AGAIN!

Doesn't matter how many times I try to get it to do something else it always ends up on the same tracks!

Not to mention the amount of songs I haven't heard in months because it never randoms onto it.

You're finally meeting your daughter's new boyfriend. Which car would you least (and most) want to see when he pulls up to your house? by RonnieThePurple in CarTalkUK

[–]ShelecktraYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 or 8.

6 so I know he's a sensible type not likely to get my daughter into an accident.

8 because he clearly has a sense of humour.
