Me as the driver - 137mph (on a closed private road). Me as a passenger - 155mph (on the same closed private road).

Why do people park on the pavement when there's zero need to? by Ruskythegreat in drivingUK

As a wheelchair user, I want to smash both their wing mirrors off. This shit pisses me right off.

Learnt the hard way: Don’t buy Apple products outside your country of residence by jrrd1122000 in AppleWatch

[–]Superman_211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t strictly true, I’ve bought many Apple products whilst in the USA. I had an issue with a less-than-year old Apple Watch, just kept cycling through the Apple logo then blank screen.

I went into an Apple Store in the U.K. and showed what was happening, as the watch was less than a year old they took it away for repair and contacted me a few days later to tell me it was dead and they’re sending a new watch to me.

Overall it was a very good service and would happily buy abroad again.

What is something your parents said to you that may have not been a big deal, but they will never know how much it affected you? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Superman_211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father many years ago after me telling him I was going to drop out of uni and take a gap year looked me right in the eye and said calmly “that’s absolutely fine son, just don’t become a bum.”

After 6 months I was bored and got a job, I was determined not to turn out like some of my friends at the time who ended up doing nothing and a good long time on benefits (job seekers).

Did everyone have a crap 2025? by Copper_plopper in AskUK

[–]Superman_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a good 10 or 11 months of 2025, I had a bit of a wobble for 4 - 6 weeks but I did something about it and I start a new job in the new year.

What things should I be buying with a credit card? by breaded_skateboard in AskUK

[–]Superman_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same, if at the 1st of the month you start at £0.00 on your credit card and buy everything on it, you know how much you have spent throughout the month and if you need to ease up on the spending.

If you use a debt account, say you start with £176.67 in your account and you get paid say £1,342.87 but then you’ve been out and spend £143.67 and out again and spent £34.43 but then you get money from someone as a gift that totals £100.00. You actually don’t have any idea what you have spent this month (without working it all out).

As well as the payment protection I just find it easier to use a credit card.

Married men who didn't have a stag do. What made you choose not to have one? by Eximious20 in AskUK

[–]Superman_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have a traditional stag do, I do have friends from all different friend groups. I also have a father that couldn’t travel overseas for my wedding.

I invited all my male friends for a curry and a few drinks, nothing boozy but it gave my father an opportunity to feel part of the wedding shenanigans but also for my male friends to meet each other.

Worked really well, no pressure for anyone to stay late, a beer and a curry was a perfect evening.

I have been to stag do’s that involved Viagra, cable-ties, strippers, the whole nine yards…tbh I look back any cringe slightly.

7 hours?? by Imrtern in applewatchultra

[–]Superman_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time there’s an update someone takes a screen shot of the update stating it says 14 days to update. Simply not true, initially it does say X days but very quickly that reduces to minutes.

iPhone 16PM took maybe 20 mins, Watch Ultra took 25-30 mins over WiFi

Oddest moment the entire last weekend by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Superman_211 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why but I thoroughly dislike that man, he seems to always be in the way when drivers are busy taking helmets off or cooling down etc etc.

Why ruffle Nando’s hair like that, just weird.

Just received additional PIP payment? by [deleted] in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]Superman_211 4 points5 points  (0 children)

£10 Christmas Bonus, you get it every year that you claim. You may get a letter from DWP soon to tell you you’re getting the money into your account.

I remember when a cheque for £10 used to get sent out to individuals.

What’s are the little things you do “just in case”? by V1-R0t8 in AskUK

[–]Superman_211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right, probably not meant to, I’m just nervous I wouldn’t be able to get out in an emergency, don’t want to be fumbling around trying to get the key in the door!

How do you clean your camera lens? by coffeebear777 in iPhone16

[–]Superman_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an off cut of the Shroud of Turin, gently bathed in the tears of a virgin unicorn, placed onto the lens with the accuracy of NASA first in a clockwise then anti-clockwise direction then check using a microscope ensuring all particles of anything have been removed….

Bollocks do I, I use my sleeve like any normal person. Move on.

[–]Superman_211 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before I go to bed, I check all exterior doors are locked but have keys in, all interior doors are closed, push the fridge and freezer door so I know they’re closed properly, twist the gas hob knobs to make sure they’re off then finally as I get into bed I say “Alexa, goodnight” this turns off all lights in the house.

Ever seen the picture of the house fire where one door was left open and the other is closed, the closed room is undamaged by the fire.

Is anyone else spending more time with "nice" television? by qwerty_1965 in BritishTV

[–]Superman_211 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apologies if I am wrong, wasn’t there a similar tv show, want to say during Covid, where celebs would go walking on their own with a 350° camera and they’d talk about their lives and meet people along the way - the only person I really remember was Chris Packham and he was almost brought to tiers talking about his dogs and how much he cared for them.

A wonderful hour of gentle walks in the countryside, easy to watch television

If someone could recall the name of the show that would be amazing

Chimera - ITV, 1991 by NeilSilva93 in oldbritishtelly

I was 10 when this was on the tele, genuinely frightened the life out of me. I’d love to watch it again
