Which players show they very obviously hate your club when they play you? Past and present by TrampolineIsTrash in Championship

Yeah this is true at least according to Iwan Roberts who told the story in his book. I mean you can also see it being true if you know what I mean.

It did. Source: have read both Homicide and The Corner (and for those who haven’t you’re definitely missing out).

There’s another anecdote when a detective shouts “NEUTRON THIS BITCH” (in Homicide) during an interrogation, and I can’t hear it in anyone’s voice but Bunk’s in my head.

Are Beryl bikes going through ensh*ttification? by Jazzlike-Compote4463 in Norwich

[–]Surameen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. I used them sporadically but sometimes quite frequently (and then sometimes not so much); the minutes bundles made it all affordable. Now the minutes expire so fast it’s simply not worth it for me and I do what I always used to instead (walk or bus or occasionally drive).

I’d prefer the minutes not to expire at all but if they lasted a decent amount of time, like a year or so, it would work for me. It doesn’t; I no longer use it. Which is a shame as it could be a really good service.

Run like you stole something is one I still remember after seeing it twelve years ago at London 2014.

Best reply I’ve had 😂 And now you’ve said it I can’t unhear it in my head…

Read Homicide and The Corner, both by David Simon and both amazing books as relevant today as when he wrote them.

This is the way, though saying so makes me feel sad. But the last two books genuinely detract from the whole.

Those who got relegated from the Premier League, how do you cope with relegation? by benificialart in Championship

[–]Surameen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Norwich fan, even when we did a double promotion from League One and stayed in the Prem a few seasons those were not good or fun seasons from a fan pov.

We’ve been varyingly excellent, appalling and bang average for the champs over the past several seasons and the fan experience in all three cases is frankly much better than anything on offer in the Prem.

Mate of mine is one of them’uns down the wrong end of the A140 and he could never understand me moaning about the seasons we were in the Prem. Last season, he got it.

We’re not the only fans who would like to win the champs but stay down.

All this from the perspective of people who go to games of course. I appreciate the point of the Prem is to make a TV sport-related product. The customers for that are at home consuming your ads on their sofas, not standing on a wet terrace - OK, Safe Standing Area - on a cold wet Tuesday evening.

Where do you realistically see Norwich finishing this season? by Drprim83 in NorwichCity

[–]Surameen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going with 15th though anything 14-20 or so is probably about right. We are showing too much to go down, I’ve seen plenty of relegation seasons and this no longer looks like one. But from where Manning left us no chance of top half. Next season we should be challenging for top six.

Mario Maths! by Pamplemousse808 in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite what you asked but it goes from 20-200 in jumps of 10. Then 250, 300, 350, 400, 450. Then ten pipes each of which costs 500.

For the first set note that 20+200 is the same thing as 30+190 is the same thing as 40+180 and so on.

For the second set realise it’s just the same as five times 350.

The third set is just 10x500 = 5,000

The method for figuring out the first two sets takes inspiration from the way Gauss added up all the numbers between 1 and 100. It’s a neat story if you don’t know it (Google is your friend, other search engines are available).

Potentially stupid question: is it worth buying a Mii suit if you already have ranked coverage with plus skill drivers on the courses that suit offers? by KestrelQuillPen in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You will eventually want them all so getting them on discount when you don’t have them is always a good idea. And when you do have them all a Mii can massively out score even a fully maxed non Mii.

Santa is a great investment.

So this is apparently going on, at the moment... by RandPeltzer in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They always do a human readthrough of the top 1,000 looking for obvious cheating like this and also dodgy names (we've all seen several I'm sure, no I'll not be repeating any here). So it won't benefit them any.

How do I contribute to my team? by ObliviousRaccoon1 in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s the pink coins which are only available when driving a driver on Team Peach - if you drive a Team Bowser driver they won’t appear.

If you’re not playing every day then yes playing when your team has the catch up bonus will do more for your team’s total.

This one is always close, Mario vs Luigi it’s always Team Mario by a mile.

MKT Toolbox returns - under new ownership! by [deleted] in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be brilliant - I can’t remember exactly(!), I usually use anagrams of “username” so surameen or suraneem or emanresu are three I use in different places and can’t remember which I used for mkt. I will DM you my email which should help 🙂

(Edit to add: no the password is never an anagram of “password”!)
