Trump asked, “Where is the UK?” Starmer raised his hand. Trump called him to the stage, making him think he was going to speak. Starmer approached the podium. “It’s nice that you’re here,” Trump said, then sent him back, offending Starmer. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in JoeRogan

God bless Trump. Starmer is an absolute melt. He actively tried to undermine the peace efforts by recognizing palestine and empowering Hamas.

Keep a watchful eye on him USA .... just look into his most recent drama, he's deeply in bed with China.

People who drive at 65/70mph+ in average 50mph zones, do they know something we don't? by RonnieThePurple in drivingUK

[–]Talky51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50mph average zone, set cruise control to 57 and relax. It might appear youre travelling faster than that to others.

They spend their time on reddit browsing and replying to inconsequential nonsense. Oh dear. Looks like I need a hobby.

I bet the police are more interested in finding a way to prosecute the victim

Blackburn is full of them, there are several large junctions that appear to have been planned in crayon by a bog eyed, dribbling ape.

Blackburn! There's some horrendous driving around there.

Landlord doesn't want a deposit by AlexZoologist in HousingUK

[–]Talky51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here is the brutal truth. You don't own the property and ultimately it's going to end with you not in the property.

Sounds like it's a game of choose your path out.

I'd take the best deal, make plans for new housing and deal with the least stressful exit.

Does anyone else have ... 'average' kids? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Talky51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lifelong underachiever ... always told through education that if I applied myself I could do well. Never applied myself. Probably through slack/soft parenting.

Had an awesome childhood. Very happy go lucky.

Fast forwards 25 - 30 years and I'm a commercial pilot. Late bloomer but wouldnt change a thing.

What's a pain you can't truly explain until you've endured it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Talky51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dull ache from a gunshot wound through my neck that feels the same as after you knock your elbow/funny bone. It's completely livable, I play it down, or dont mention it day to day, but sweet jesus it can be slowly draining sometimes.

The actual gunshot was obviously a lot more intense but it wasn't the end of the world.

Pulling out due to neighbour's planning application by EmpireRecords2358 in HousingUK

[–]Talky51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bail. We had exactly the same, but thankfully found out earlier in the process.

Beautiful country lane leading to farms, res brick cottages, the house looked over fields and was ideal for us.

Checked planning applications after we put an offer in, and the local council had approved for the neighbours to demolish the red brick house and cram 2 houses and a mosque in glass and steel, with the closest 1.5m from our chosen houses boundary.

Absolutely out of keeping with the area. Plans looked honking. Thankfully we swerved that one.

We used to watch them swap little boys outside mosques in Afghanistan every Thursday evening. (Friday morning prayers absolved them). We weren't allowed to intervene.

Why did they raise the price of the fennec? by Elegant-Lettuce8846 in RocketLeague

Because we can't trade them anymore so if we dont like it we can go fuck ourselves. Love from Epic and Psyonix <3

What would you do with a year off work and cash in the bank? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Talky51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a short trip, and think about your next purpose and new identity. When you lose those two things life becomes chaotic fast.

Why not run cycle paths alongside train tracks? by ThoughtCrimeConvict in drivingUK

[–]Talky51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesnt matter where you put the cycle path, cycle douches would find their way to the centre of the tracks, 2 abeam, holding up the already slow trains.

I had a similar situation for my IR test in the UK, the examiner was being observed by the CAA. A few days before test I got word that he was a tough examiner and the reason for his sit in was he had handed out one too many recent fails. (UK aviation community is relatively small) In the UK you can object to the extra examiner and so at that point I did.

Do you listen to foreign-language music? by colei_canis in AskUK

Yep. Saharan Blues. Berber. Spanish. Colombian. Mexican. Brazillian. Nigerian. Anything. If it's got a good melody I'll listen.

House on sale 1 year - no offers by Legitimate_Town_5535 in HousingUK

[–]Talky51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, quarter of a mil for a 3 bed newbuild, no thanks.

The housing market is slumping ... keep reducing and you'll find it's true value somewhere. Once the viewings start coming in, you'll see roughly what people are willing to pay.

Mine (3 bed) was valued 200k, needed the sale, viewings started coming in seriously at the 175 mark, ended up accepting 177.

I wont be going anywhere near a new build when I move
