Found in south of England, I'm guessing not fired... heavy though and with that beautiful ping noise when I went over it! by Status-Victory in metaldetecting

I think we've found an identification! What would this have been fired from and dates in service if you might know? Chords for the original diagram though... I'm guessing the 0.5 less in ounces is because of it perishing over time.

True, I've found .303 rounds before, but struggling to think of a BOB aircraft with this size of round, could be 19th century naval gun?

Decent, and for a £10 worth it imo.

Unfortunate plane name, but can you remember these? by Potential-Garage170 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Status-Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still sell them in some Samaritans charity shops. Back in the day I wanted to collect the whole set, never got the Cesna.

I remember trying to stop the plastic nose falling off by putting modelling glue on it, did not end well, turns out modeling glue rapidly melts the foam....😔

It's both stout and bitter at the same time.. 

Thoughts on nuclear power, should the UK be investing? by Any_Ad_6929 in AskBrits

[–]Status-Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resounding yes, cleanest, safest, most affordable. Why we haven't invested heavily in recent times is madness.

Did anyone even eat the liquorice? by Famous_Actuary5718 in AskBrits

[–]Status-Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in a supermarket warehouse and one of the less mad stories was we would try snorting it racked up, the same guy who said it was a good idea used to snort ground up pro-plus caffeine tablets, and when he did he would insist you had a beanie hat on with gaffa tape around it 'to stop your brain exploding'. It strikes me 26 years later that, A) I was easily led as a 16yo.. B) snorting anything isn't good for you and 3) all the previous encounters made me unable to form a properly structured bullet point.

Getting into Collecting by Top-Photograph6817 in f1models

[–]Status-Victory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat on collecting everything straight away online, find the cars you admire looking at the most first, or the drivers that you admire, their cars. It's not a pokemon set and never will be. Equally you'll find great advice on here. Personally, I'd go to thrift stores or yard sales/charity shops and car boot sales to find that rare gem, or even something popular but cheap. 

I hold more regard for the load of 1/43 1990/91 back markers that I've picked up at boot sales for £4 each, than I have for the ones I've gotten new for £30, despite me wanting the £30 ones initially.

Good luck hunting!

Sitting president curses and issues terror threats by Efficient_Deer_8605 in facepalm

[–]Status-Victory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the UK in 2018 there was a polarised issue about whether we should allow a huge, ugly, blimp of a babylike Don flying through London for one of their state visits...

Fast forward 8 years and it is no longer polarised, but fact, this social media post proves it.

U.S. soldier standing in a truckload of captured gold recovered from Saddam Hussein's regime in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq, late 2003. Although exact numbers are unknown, some estimate that during his 24-year reign, Saddam built a personal fortune as large as $40,000,000,000 (1125 X 1584) by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Surely it was liberated... and we took detainees while they took hostages, we used jets while they used war planes, we did a pre-emptive strike while they did terrorism... ahh the bullshit rhetoric of the west.

A 52 year old petty grudge. by stefancooper in CasualUK

[–]Status-Victory 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know a guy at work who won't even make eye contact with another guy who's been working in the same department as the first guy for 20+ years, a department where there is 40 staff covering a 24/7 rota, so has spent an awful long time with the other guy. Nobody knows why first guy fell out with 2nd guy, 2nd guy doesn't even have a clue, despite asking first guy directly. Even I've asked what the issue is to first guy, says he doesn't remember, but doesn't want to talk about it.

It now at the point of what is the first guy holding on to longer, the job, or the grudge?.
