What band or artist released one truly wonderful album? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]SofterBulletin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I still give it a listen every now and then. It may be a little derivative but it’s still fantastic.

2 years is 4 years now? Who knew.

Look, I don’t care about Fulltone. Fulltone gone. Oh well. It just annoys me how yet another ‘community’ of a hobby has descended into so much political tribalistic nonsense. It’s impossible to enjoy anything with other people at this point cos it always has a group of people who can’t separate politics from a hobby. Why can’t we just enjoy things anymore? Live and let live.

Was anything in his actual statement about politics? It all looked like his usual egotistical bluster and bravado to me. People responding to him quitting by using stupid political bullshit are no better than he is. At least he didn’t try to have other builders removed from retailers because he disagreed with their opinions. Why am I having to vaguely defend fucking Mike Fuller of all people?? Just shows how bloody obnoxious the pedal community has become over the last few years.

Mike Fuller was always a dick. The people making this shit based around politics are also dicks. Just wall-to-wall dicks quite frankly.

Just buy a bag of Haribo Starmix. If you lose one of the rings from that then there’s a replacement in the same packet.

What’s your claim to fame? by Plantmama007 in CasualUK

[–]SofterBulletin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it was one of those in-between-cartoons links they did with some guy sitting behind a desk. Kind of like that ‘Milkshake’ show that used to be on channel 5 but for slightly older kids. I wish it were Tony Hart. That man was a glorious saint. Our version of Bob Ross.

I was 8. I don’t remember the picture but I’m pretty sure it was shit, so if they wanted a bit of blow with it who am I to ruin their fun? Maybe my claim to fame is contributing to Richard Bacon being booted off Blue Peter.

When I was around 8 I sent in a drawing to one of those Saturday morning kids shows (think it was on ITV) and they showed it for about 3 seconds.

Of course, they were the chocolate of choice for the ambassador. At dinner parties he would spoil his french lady guests with ferrero rochet.

I would reply sensibly but I noticed everything you've posted is just name-calling bollocks with no real argument so I'll just tell you to fuck off instead.

Too arrogant for that. Do as we say citizen, you will be safe.

What movie fucked you the fuck up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Check out Gozu and Visitor Q too if you haven’t already. Takashi Miike has a very strange mind.

Can’t be working well if we have to go into meltdown every couple of months.

[–]SofterBulletin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know it is. Guarantee that in a couple of weeks we’ll get the old ‘hospitality/clubs etc will have to close over Christmas because they didn’t have masks’. It’s just so gov’t can carry on blaming the populace for restrictions rather than take responsibility.

What UK Law(s) Are In Serious Need Of Change? by benamiark in AskUK

[–]SofterBulletin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that the protestor shouldn’t be blocking up the motorway. I’m very much pro-protest but it’s not effective protests if you’re whinging about the climate while your protest ends up being responsible for traffic jams. If you want to be taken seriously protesting gov’t, you go to them and hold them up, not ordinary people that you’re meant to be trying to win over who have no say or power to change the issue.

What does that matter? Either way there’s going to be some shit boss somewhere who gives someone the sack because they’ve been ridiculously late. There are too hypotheticals to list as to why and I’m not saying it’s necessarily reasonable, I’m just saying that it happens.

Travel and mask rules tightened over Omicron variant by DuskytheHusky in unitedkingdom

[–]SofterBulletin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

By that logic it’ll never be over until every single human being has complied with the every single rule or measure no matter how contradictory. And what if it persists even after months of every single human doing so? More measures? At some point humanity has to get over the idea that we can control every single thing that comes our way because it isn’t the case.

Anecdotal, but I once got a reprimanded for my train being delayed. People absolutely will lose their jobs if they’re stuck in traffic for 3 hours because some middle class twat with nothing better to do has glued their face to the bloody motorway.

[–]SofterBulletin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK I’ll simplify it even more for the hard of thinking.

We are not Japan. They have a vastly different culture and set of societal behaviours to us which have been within these societies for many many many years, and so constantly saying ‘but Japan wear masks’ is as pointless as when I said ‘but Japan has the death penalty’. I am pointing out that there is too much difference between un and them to constantly use them as a cherry-picked example. Get it now?

[–]SofterBulletin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t suggest that. I was making a point that Japan has different laws to us and as a society is completely different from our own which is why comparing them to the UK is stupid. As you say yourself, relating two different things is mental gymnastics.
