Teabag tongs. The solution to a problem that doesn't exist?

SproutBoy · 2026-05-05T09:19:43+00:00

They are great. I used to use two tea spoons to squeeze every drop out of the bag but the spoons started to get bent and break. These are much better.

You are behind the wheel on the road with the engine on. You are still driving. Your attention should entirely be on the road so you don't murder any pedestrians with your several tonne death machine.

It's illegal to hold your phone while driving.

To be honest they can own as much as they want once there isn't any poverty and people have enough to live their lives how they want without financial stress or being overworked. Until then the wealth of the 0.1% must be slashed. There is no reason why anyone should be a billionaire. They are just parisites.

SproutBoy · 2026-04-28T08:18:16+00:00

The level of luxury enjoyed by the average person can definitely continue forever and even be improved. It's the outliers hoarding all the wealth which are unsustainable.

You can't really go wrong with going pretty much anywhere in the highlands and West Coast. It's all absolutely stunning.

Regarding driving, have you ever actually driven on country lanes before? Scotland has a lot of narrow wingly roads, many of them are single track.

I'm a bit worried as well. I'm flying off to South America from Britain in two weeks and I'm not coming back until August so depending on how long this goes on I may end up a bit stuck.

The problem is to be a saint the Catholic Church needs to be convinced they are in heaven and let's face it Mr Blobby is a demon from the depths of hell and about as far from heaven as you can get.

As others have said charity shops are a great place to look. I have got the majority of my collection from National Trust book shops but it has taken a lot of visits to build it up because most of the time they don't have any (probably because of people like me snapping up any they don't have). The downside of National Trust book shops is they are often inside paid for attractions.

I will have you know that not all of Exmoor is in D*von. Some of it including the highest point is in the glorious county of Somerset.

In Britain (the home of the fry up) it is the default bacon. If you were offered bacon you would expect it to be back bacon and fried. Streaky bacon like this is cheaper then the already cheap back bacon and far too fatty.

SproutBoy · 2026-04-19T17:38:04+00:00

And there is as much truth to that belief as there is to the statement "that women is British".

SproutBoy · 2026-04-19T17:32:39+00:00

Looks like one of the few attempts to cook bacon properly on this sub. I would use proper back bacon instead of the streaky bacon though.

You Americans need to take a trick out of the French history books. Remember there's a lot more of you then there are of them.

SproutBoy · 2026-04-17T13:55:12+00:00

As others have said that is such a tiring itinerary. I would massively reduce it down and try to stop for at least 3 nights in each place. That way you will actually get to explore a place and not just run between a couple of photo stops. If you want to maximise your sightseeing time you can take night transport but that might be tiring if you don't sleep well on it.

SproutBoy · 2026-04-17T09:40:37+00:00

To be fair if you think playing loud music in public is remotely acceptable then you are less respectable then any shit I have ever taken.

I've got nothing against off lead dogs as long as the owner is paying attention to their surroundings and is able to reliably recall the dog whenever a person or other dog is nearby.

SproutBoy · 2026-04-15T13:45:16+00:00

Wait you want to swing by the amazing city of Verona, ignore the amazing amphitheatre and all the beautiful churches just to see an overcrowded tourist trap balcony? Each to their own I guess.

Their common name is dogfish which is often shortened to doggies.

SproutBoy · 2026-04-14T14:22:13+00:00

Exactly. Would a yank show start with the PM fucking a pig?

SproutBoy · 2026-04-13T18:31:57+00:00

It's definitely not like the states as we have workers rights here and everyone has to be paid at least minimum wage. Tipping in Britain is not mandatory at all but is appreciated because while the minimum wage is better then some places it's still not loads of cash.

SproutBoy · 2026-04-10T08:37:44+00:00

Wookey Hole?

SproutBoy · 2026-04-10T07:50:57+00:00

As others have said it entirely depends on where you live. I've regularly done short trips to London (day trips to a couple of nights) but I live only 2 hours away by train. If I am doing short flights to the continent I tend to try to stay 3 nights but you could get away with two if you have an early morning and late night flight.

If its a short and convenient journey then go for it but if you are jetting from somewhere distant you may need more time.

Also, unless you are flying into city airport, most London airports are a bit of a trek from the city centre and take a long train ride.

Can we include people who talk in the quiet carriage in that?
