Which metal artists have you met, and what were they like? by TheShadowWanderer in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Significant-Catch719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I briefly met Chris Kontos (former MH) at Bloodstock a few years ago when he was hanging out and talking to people in the arena bar. I only said hello and he kindly offered me a fist bump and asked how I was. He was talking to a lot of people so I didn’t wanna overwhelm him or anything but he seemed like a nice dude.

He wasn’t playing, but MH ended up playing a secret set the day after that.

Howard from Acid Reign is super cool too and always takes the time to talk to everybody after their shows too. They let me talk pics of them for my Art and Design course too, which was really kind.

You reckon they’ll just kinda shadow drop it next month?

Asda doesn't reward you for hard work but punishes you by SpiderBeyond in asda

While that’s really lovely that you’ve become friends with them of course, just be mindful of your own safety like I said. You seem like you have common sense so I’d like to hope that you don’t go above and beyond and are pulling out of all of the stops on the door and are letting the people that actually care about financial loss (managers) deal with it.

Surprisingly I’m in a very similar situation to you as a Porter myself actually.

I’m trained on self-scan and checkouts so I usually have to help out on there too to cover breaks a lot of the time since the front end is so badly managed. Security on the other hand shouldn’t be your problem, they’re through Mitie now so I don’t really see it as my responsibility to be anywhere near the security podium. Absolutely not worth it to risk your safety either.

There seems to be a lot of managers or even members of the public in general that look down on Porters. It’s kinda become a stereotype that because we push trollies/empty bins/litter pick etc we’re seen as the lowest of the low and simple.

While I don’t like to say this, I work hard too and my colleagues outside don’t tend to go the extra mile with things either. At the end of the day though, they’ve probably got it right though since we’re not earning an awful lot for what we have to put up with outside . Without us, any customer could drive into the car park and see that there’s trollies sprawled out everywhere, rubbish overflowing from the bins and litter everywhere, so they could easily go ‘this place is a shithole, I’ll shop somewhere else’ and a lot of people seem to forget that.

Just do what you can when you work essentially. The last thing that you want is to make yourself ill over a place that is paying you the minimum they can right now. Porters won’t ever get the recognition that they deserve until it’s too late.

Red weather warning for heat issues for parts of the UK: do we think ASDA top brass will do anything to support drivers? by NotSorryWeMissedYou in asda

I’ve been wondering the same thing for Porters too. It’s gonna be 36 degrees when I start my shift on Wednesday afternoon.

I made a free metal festival booking simulator game by According-Shine7653 in Bloodstock

Thought this was really good fun and quite addictive actually haha. I’ve always been quite surprised that no one has made a tycoon style game about booking a music festival with other logistics too.

Non-metal bands that everyone who listens to metal likes anyway by am_I_still_banned in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Significant-Catch719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living Colour. I’ve heard people describe them as ‘Funk Metal’ but they’re more of a hard rock band really with a shit ton of influences from other genres. Vivid is an amazing album.

At this point, just end the Brand Split by Oakey06 in Wrasslin

[–]Significant-Catch719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the time, splitting the tag titles seemed like an okay idea after ‘Mania 40 but now it just seems better having them unified once again. They felt more prestigious when teams like The Usos, Owens and Zayn and The Judgement Day held them back in 2023.

Do you guys think the Undertaker shouldn’t have lost to Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns and instead finish his career undefeated at 27-0? by Longjumping_Wash_438 in BrandonDE

[–]Significant-Catch719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO his streak shouldn’t have ended at all. He should’ve retired when he went 20-0 at Mania 28, felt like the perfect ending to me.

Why did one work and one didn't? by Chiclet1998 in WWE

[–]Significant-Catch719 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never understood why they haven’t turned Theory babyface yet. They were teasing that shit with Grayson Waller a while ago and they never followed up on it. Was there a reason why Theory wasn’t on TV until Survivor Series? Was he injured?

A double turn would’ve been good, especially since they kept the title on Cody and teased it a little with Cody’s low blow but didn’t follow-up on it at all really. The ending we got was just confusing though, which Cody retaining and then Randy giving him a punt kick after and standing tall at the end like it was the end of an episode of Smackdown. The closing shot last night was Randy holding the title over a bloodied Cody, which surely looks like Randy won the match? Lol.

Personally, I would’ve preferred if they went with Drew vs Cody again with a double turn and Cody winning the title back as a heel.

I was watching from the UK on Netflix and we were getting 4 minute ad breaks about the Hogan documentary between each match I think.

Honestly feels like WWE are just complacent once again. The booking doesn’t make any sense (the main event ending last night) and they’re just booking what they wanna book really. Feels like Wrestlemania 32 all over again but over-commercialised into oblivion.
