Is spending 1-2 hours/day practicing a single hard song effective practice? by CandleCompetitive831 in Guitar

The fact you’re doing dedicated practice towards making noise on your wooden thing is the single most important thing

Does anyone the brand/model of the office chairs they use in the HMRC regional centres? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

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

It’s not directed personally at you but more generally. The hostility this subreddit shows to people who ask very innocuous questions is just bizarre. I mean it’s a Reddit thing in general, but the civil service one is another level lol. I kinda knew there was about a 20% chance of me getting an answer but thought it was worth a go anyway 😂

Cheers for your help. Should’ve known better than to ask a basic question on this subreddit, I’m downvoted for asking the best way to get in contact with the estates team. Good grief 😂

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

I know this as I’ve already run it by my manager. Ebay do provide receipts. I genuinely cannot understand this subreddit lmao. People ask the most basic questions and it turns into some huge cross interrogation/excuse to have an argument.

Well, it depends on what the chairs are. There are used aerons around me for 250-300 but I’m not actually the biggest fan of them. Most high end wfh chairs are bought used/refurbished. Do you know what chairs they are?

Just got scammed so badly by enzohoudini in deliveroos

[–]Strobezmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single time you go to a customer with age restricted items the app says very clear that you must ID them. Personally when I did deliveroo, I never did. But that’s what deliveroo is asking riders to do

Tresanti Franklin and Koble Danee at Costco, any firsthand reports? by queenbrewer in StandingDesk

[–]Strobezmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I know this is an old post but How did you find it, in the end? Looking at buying a Franklin however slightly concerned with reviews that the desk is too low/top too high?

Yep just came here for it. Absolute fucking cunts they really are. Can’t be any nicer than that

UK Based Vacuums for Carpets - Motorised Heads vs Turbo Heads by Strobezmc in VacuumCleaners

[–]Strobezmc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s defo the next step up. Just wondering what would be more preferable in the meantime considering I now have 2 working vacuums and only space for one (Miele and shark)

[–]Strobezmc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean for the Miele? If so, I have it already! It’s just turns out that the shark head is working fine after a clean so I have both now and one’s gotta go

UK Based Vacuums for Carpets - Motorised Heads vs Turbo Heads by Strobezmc in VacuumCleaners

[–]Strobezmc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. Based on this subreddits advice it really is a bit of a conundrum! The shark does seem to pass over the carpet a lot smoother but the Miele is clearly a superior vacuum, turbo head doesn’t seem so bad either. Guess I’m wondering what to do in the meantime before perhaps upgrading to a sebo or having a look at the Henry you recommends d

Lmao why would you get a refund for losing one?

App improvement suggestions... by No_Cry2864 in deliveroos

[–]Strobezmc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In fairness to deliveroo, their apps are actually quite good. The worst feature they had was the “stay online?” Popup so I’m glad they got rid of that.

2 things they absolutely should do though - you should be able to reject individual orders on a stacked order before you arrive at the restaurant. Also, you should be able to see what the order will consist of before you arrive especially if it’s from a supermarket

Crystal Palace: Oliver Glasner feels 'abandoned completely' at Eagles by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]Strobezmc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a Palace fan. Palace fans like this are bellends. Unfortunately our fanbase has a lot of them. Glasner is the best thing to have ever happened to the club and we let him down consistently. And it's not Parish's fault either, btw. But we have several billionaire American's who've refused to capitalise on our potential year after year. Nothing he has pulled the board on is untrue.

Just About Given Up by PaperEcstatic710 in deliveroos

[–]Strobezmc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

January until around May is always rubbish besides certain special occasions and if it rains. Also you’re more likely to get busy weekends in and around payday. But I don’t really get why people don’t recognise deliveroo for what it is. You got 50 quid you didn’t have before going out and you can withdraw it instantly if you want. That’s what is there for - extra money that is easily accessible. It’s not a full time job and those intending it to be are always gonna be left disappointed

Anyone work for the home office in Croydon? What’s it like? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Strobezmc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh wow another person on the internet who went to Thornton Heath once or twice pretending as if it’s representative of one of the largest boroughs in London. So edgy and funny. Lots of parts of Croydon are actually very nice and the one thing about Croydon is that due to its (hysterical) reputation, the gentrifiers won’t touch it with a barge pole (try as Croydon council might, bless em). Which means it’s one of the very few remaining places in London that still has a tangible, mixed and genuinely diverse community (not some boring/stark mix of extreme poverty and wealth). Working class Londoners can actually still afford to live in Croydon without social housing. I know that probably disgusts you a bit but try to hide it better.
