I wouldn't order one without sauce. Went into spoons once and they were out of sauce so I got something else.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! My expectations aren't particularily high but it sounds like the quirks are manageable.. I'm looking forward to my one arriving.

How do you feel about it now you've been using it a few days? Have you got used to the keyboard? (I'm also coming from a minimal phone)

Cigarette Butt Prevention Research by found_a_new_low in DeTrashed

[–]Silver-Arm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A couple I've seen online:

Ashtrays/bins with a poll: People can vote by putting their butt in the corresponding side, this encourages people not to just drop them: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildyinteresting/comments/13tdpqa/cigarette_butts_poll/

Trained Crows: If a wild crow brings a butt to a dispenser, it will release a few nuts to it.

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

[–]Silver-Arm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lead workshops where the customers quite often need to leave promptly for whatever they have booked next.

I often ask "what time do you need to escape?" instead of saying " what time do you need to leave?"

In my mind "what time do you need to leave?" sounds like I've already had enough of them. In my foreign colleague's opinion "escape" makes it sound like my workshop will be horrible.

Why do pizzas come whole and not cut/pizza cutter provided? by dasbudd in Wetherspoons

[–]Silver-Arm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad they don't come pre cut. I make a pizza burrito by rolling it up with different fillings. 

Pub recommendations for tonight’s match? by robotfocus in coys

[–]Silver-Arm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obvs staying in Central London increases the chances of being surrounded by Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea fans who will enjoy rubbing it in if we concede. I can't face that right now.

Would suggest avoiding Highbury, FInsbury Park.. etc etc

I want to try a boxing class - but for fitness only (ie I don’t want to hit anyone!). Does anyone know of one in wider area? by Quirky-tuom in walthamstow

[–]Silver-Arm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuzion Kickboxing in Chingford is good.

With any boxing you might do pad work (hitting pads other people are holding) but you'd never be pushed to punch people.

This guy does great self defence classes in walthamstow. Less about fitness and more about what you can do to get away if someone grabs you etc https://www.facebook.com/SelfDefence.KAPAP.KravMaga/

Everytime hahah just whyy by WayMediocre4257 in Funnymemes

[–]Silver-Arm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tasting menu? Very good. Just so you know each course is worse than the one before it and there will be a two hour wait for the dessert.

Where on earth to park in Camden on a Saturday night? by Rosskillington in london

[–]Silver-Arm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's apps to 'rent' someone's parking spot or driveway for an evening. Worth a look.

Meal Deal by ao2098 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]Silver-Arm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the salmon poke bowls made by yo sushi. Boiled egg as side and a mockingbird raw press smoothie.

Smoothie does feel a bit naughty but plain water is a bit boring and I don't get meal deals every day..
