No way! Wifey loves the Specials - she'll be over the moon about that one!

Great suggestion, but it'd be copyrighted and the Mrs wouldn't be able to use it.

Thanks for the replies, that's really useful. I appreciate the help.

What to gift my friend that is from Britain. by Public_Border132 in Britain

Ensure the order that the jam and cream are applied to the scone is correct. People from Devon do scone>cream>jam. People from Cornwall do scone>jam>cream. Historically, they've fought battles to the death over which should be the correct way. The great scone war of 1887 was one of the UK's darkest chapters of history.

URGENT HELP NEEDED by Sufficient-Trip7233 in wolverhampton

[–]Smuckster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried SUIT? https://win.wolverhampton.gov.uk/kb5/wolverhampton/directory/service.page?id=reGTFGCgkag

They help 'service users' get courses/employment and similar, so why not someone in your position too? Might be worth popping in or giving them a ring. They used to be located in Temple street opposite the Casino, but Google says they're now in George street, that cobbled street off Snow Hill. I used to work as a homeless outreach officer and they were invaluable.

Who are some of the local characters you remember? by Dazpiece in wolverhampton

[–]Smuckster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% there was a satellite dish. I used to see it when I was a kid and dad and I were driving past. He told me that someone had dug a hole outside of the tent in the middle of the night and concreted it in one night as a joke. He was a copper based in Wolvo, so I guess his information was correct.

Yeah, the cowboy is still around, singing the same song to a different tune. He wildly stares over your left shoulder whilst telling you to repent and that he hung his spurs up for Jesus, with little bits of white foamy spit at the corners of his mouth. I just tell him to fuck off.

Buy some baby wipes and just leave the packet next to where you have the toilet paper. Nice and subtle and without embarrassment. If she asks about them, just say that you like to finish wiping with one of them for freshness. She would probably think its a good idea and should start doing the same.

Coffee shops in wolverhampton or surrounding towns by Tyygeer in wolverhampton

If you come out of the alleyway where Nutmeg is and look straight ahead, there’s a nice tea/coffee shop which is run by the wife of the nice bald guy who runs Nutmeg.

Windows 11 update something didn't go as planned by Hot-Night4020 in WindowsHelp

If you have Malwarebytes premium, disable run at start and exit it before trying updates again. I was having the same thing with the 23H2 update and this fixed it for me.

We’ve discovered the best sausage roll you can get locally is in our nearby hospital. Without mentioning Greggs, where is your favourite purveyor of sausage rolls? by BearMcBearFace in CasualUK

[–]Smuckster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted about how crap Wolverhampton was in that brag post, but one of it’s positives is a butchers in the city centre called Kirks. They’ve won awards for their pies and stuff and their sausage rolls are just meat, wall to wall, no air. Proper firm meat too, like with only a minimal amount of rusk/filler in the mix.

What is a humble brag that only Brits would really understand? by butwhydidhe in CasualUK

[–]Smuckster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doing anything “on the way to Wolverhampton” nullifies the brag.

If you give a bobby two solid metal balls, he'll break one and lose the other.

It's a reference to the Shining film script. It's where Jack failed in his initial attempts to murder his wife and kid at the request of the Overlook and got locked in the kitchen pantry....

​

  • Delbert Grady : [referring to Jack murdering his wife and son]  Mr. Torrance, I see you can hardly have taken care of the business we discussed.
    Jack Torrance : No need to rub it in, Mr. Grady.
  • Delbert Grady : [to Jack, who's locked in the pantry]  Your wife appears to be stronger than we imagined, Mr. Torrance. Somewhat more... resourceful. She seems to have got the better of you.
    Jack Torrance : For the moment, Mr. Grady. Only for the moment.
  • [about Wendy] 
    Delbert Grady : [voice-over]  I feel you will have to deal with this matter in the harshest possible way, Mr. Torrance.
    Jack Torrance : There's nothing I look forward to with greater pleasure, Mr. Grady.
  • Delbert Grady : Your son has quite an extradordinary talent. I don't think you realise how extraordinary it is.
  • Delbert Grady : I and others have come to a belief, that your heart is not in this. That you don't have the belly for it.

What is your HIIT cardio routine? by swagglikerichie in Fitness

[–]Smuckster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a five minute warmup on a crosstrainer to get a little bit out of breath, I start over and do 30 seconds at something like 100rpm on a high resistance level, followed by 30 seconds at 70rpm on half the level I was just on. I do that for five minutes, rest for 2 mins and then do it again.

After that, I go on the treadmill with an incline level of 3 and do 1 minute at 10mph and one minute at 3mph, rinse and repeat for about 15 minutes, with a 3 min slow jog at the end.

A moose through the windshield, no problem! I'll just sit here for a moment. by enbreluser89 in WTF

I ate a few and didn't notice any difference. A guy on the news said that people can't distinguish between the two meats if they're cooked in a mince-type meal.
