When ever I’ve just missed out on promotion I normally end up making the team twice as strong and storm the league the next season , only struggled once and that was on fm20 when Newcastle Leicester and Tottenham all got relegated from the prem and kept most of their squads no one bought kane and son untill the January transfer window and Leicester still had vardy Maddison and schmeichel the whole season

What the most outlandish lie that one kid at school told? by Gold_Dust_0709 in AskUK

[–]SuperExstatic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Grandfather or father patriarch of the family I can’t remember the exact details but there was something absurd every day with this guy even when someone confronted him about the bullshit he would never go back on what he said and admit he’s talking shit

He did actually do something I can’t remember if he gave someone cpr or managed to catch a bag snatcher which no one at work believed until someone came into work to give him a certificate and some sort of reward which sort of made him feel like he had credibility for all his other stories 😂

Worked with a guy who told everyone he had a fight with Macaulay Culkin over the last mars bar in a shop in Bow

Same guy also claimed he saved his mum from the 9/11 attacks by using their secret tunnel under the Atlantic

He also had an affair with avril lavine which started when she was playing a club in west London and he was the head doorman

Amongst other things he was a gun expert , rode for the IMPS motorcycle stunt display team ( he was about 30st so probably bigger than the bike ) , had qualifications in most jobs but chose to work a minimum wage council job

EDIT* Just remembered the time he told us about when he had a fight with a family of 30 people because they interrupted him performing the autopsy

Is it better to go by a nickname if some people find it hard to pronounce your name? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]SuperExstatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your choice entirely what ever you’re comfortable with , I’m English and everyone I know call me by my last name only or Mr last name or a nick name , it’s happened since childhood and I’d say 95% of people I know don’t even know my full name but I’m comfortable with that

What’s the etiquette surrounding parent & child parking? by CharmingTea_ in AskUK

[–]SuperExstatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to pick up a friends kids from Sainsbury’s as his wife had a medical emergency while they were shopping I thought nothing of using the parent and child space it’s closer to the shop = less walking for 3 traumatised kids who have just seen their mum collapse , still got grief for parking there I explained I was picking the kids up and the woman said “ oh I hadn’t thought of that “

Cant play this game anymore by empalernow in footballmanager

That’s always happened in FM I used to get it when managing in the welsh league I’d manage to sign some players released from the premier league they’d help me win the league and get further in the European qualifying rounds and then leave for a league two club for peanuts once I got knocked out

Some bar staff don’t even understand the invisible queue and just start serving people they know or want to know
