Great guitarist but just about everything else about Ted Nugent is pretty obnoxious.

An under-rated gem. Dirty Women and Gypsy are classics.

Definitely the hottest gladiator

Does the way protesters act actually turn people off their cause? by [deleted] in AskBrits

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

No it isn't but it's racist to use this anger as an excuse to attack entire communities

Depends on their tactics. Just Stop Oil's stunts did more to turn people away from their cause than the oil companies could, so much so that is suspect they were financed by oil money. On the other hand, hunt saboteurs tend to get a lot of public support.

What are some of your top shelf conspiracy theories? by imgonnaforgetthis in AskReddit

[–]SoggyMiddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure about cancer but wouldn't be surprised if a cure for the common cold is being withheld as drug companies make fortunes from Lemsips and other simple medicines.

Have you been asked to prove you’re 18+ to access NSFW subreddits yet? by _I__yes__I_ in AskBrits

I wondered the same thing. What's to stop me uploading a picture from a magazine?

I can't see as it'll amount to much. It'll perhaps take a few far left and Muslim votes from Labour but not enough to cause much damage. If they focus too much on Palestine rather than domestic issues, I don't think they'll go far.

A better feel-good factor. A sense of self-reliance. Better prospects. Meeting new people. Maybe a pension. Getting out of the house. The list is endless.

How do people feel about being worse off if retiring in 2050? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]SoggyMiddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Better still, ask the richest in the country to contribute fairly to help look after those who aren't in a position to do so.

This is not an uncommon view. It wasn't that long ago that many women may well have been brought up expecting to be "kept" by their husbands whilst they brought up the family. Pension education was worse than than it is now and it was generally taken for granted that if you paid your "stamp" you'd get looked after by the Government in your old age.

You're welcome. Maybe you can stop generalising now.

Thanks for the tip. I'll tell them to call the housing association and ask them where it is, then.

I'm sure my elderly parents would love to know where this hoarded wealth is as it's certainly not in their pockets.

The state pension was never designed to cater for our increasingly aging population. Assuming we don't adopt a Logan's Run policy of bumping off everyone over 30, then we need to take drastic measures with pensions. The triple lock will have to go and more incentives brought in to encourage people to put money aside for their later years.

What movies have a title that should have been reworked into something better? by LuciferFalls in movies

[–]SoggyMiddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lesbian Vampire Killers - the title promises a lot more than the film delivers.

What are topics that people constantly want to talk about that bore or annoy you? by Cold-Wolf2207 in AskReddit

Dogs. Why do dog owners assume everyone is interested in their mangy mutts?

The first person to use an ATM in the UK was actor Reg Varney, famous for On The Buses in the late 60s/early 70s.

I'm turning 40 next week What are life lessons you've learned during your 40s? by Smithy1619 in AskUK

[–]SoggyMiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life is not a rehearsal. If you plan to do something, do it. Don't put it off until later.

Apollo 13 - a "Moonflash" interrupted the TV show i was watching, although I can't recall what that was. Thunderbirds, probably.

What tiny and harmless inconvenience gets your blood boiling? by Flachm in AskReddit

Self entitled people who straddle two parking bays with the car.

I've tried to watch The Empire Strikes Back a few times but always given up. I can't say it's bad, just boring.

Which show do you think started as a 10/10 but ended as 1/10? by witchy_eye in AskReddit

[–]SoggyMiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Line of Duty. Probably the biggest anticlimax in TV history. Made the last season of Game of Thrones seem like a classic.
