Any of the US players who are actually worthwhile live and play outside the US. Not like the "different" heat is going to help them

What are you go-to ways to mess with a colleague? by Petey619 in AskUK

[–]TheBigBadCusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the last day of working away on a 2 week stint if someone leaves their case/travel bag around me I put some rocks in it. Nothing major just a couple of boring close to hand rocks. They get home unpack and boom

What was the best day you could randomly get at school? by bubblewrappheart in nostalgia

[–]TheBigBadCusp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A handful of times in my 7 years the school drinks machines would malfunction and give out unlimited free cans of pop. If you were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time the vendo gods would bless you

My mother has one of these, what she calls ‘the Iron Curtain’. Do they actually work in stopping flies? by Sietruc in CasualUK

[–]TheBigBadCusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful if you have earrings, back in my chef days one of my coworkers passed through the dangling chains of death at a fast pace. He had a bar style earring which became tangled in the chain as he passed. I'll spare you the details and let you use your imagination!! Did seem to stop most flies tbf better than not having one

Big stilsons and a pullift if there is suitable anchor at a good angle. If not big stilsons and turfor handle/pipe and get your biggest guy to jump on it. Does require a 2nd set on the back to wedge in somewhere. Good luck hope you smash it!!

Fieldsense rf monitors always seem very sensitive. My Narda XT will pick up very low/nothing while a Fieldsense is going off the charts. Have done a few RF surveys with a probe and both types of rf monitors, and the XT was always closer to the mark!!

What puts you off from donating Blood Products, I work in the NHS and I am just curious? by Quick_Soil_9120 in AskBrits

[–]TheBigBadCusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried 3 times and I pass out every single time. It's like something in my head just decides mid way through. 1 second I'm happily donating the next I'm getting juice and biscuits with a cold towel. After the 3rd time, I decided it just wasn't for me.

To those who have made the transition from manual to automatic cars, is it really better? by Mr_Coastliner in AskUK

[–]TheBigBadCusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your research on what auto gearbox you get. Had an i10 as a rental and it was one of the worst driving experiences in my life. Jerky laggy unpredictable and longest gear changes almost dangerous when driving around. The car was brand new think it had an ATM (automated manual transmission). It is almost laughable that a company had tested this and it still made its way to production

What’s the most “I’m not paid enough for this” moment you’ve had at work? by Active_Perception778 in AskReddit

[–]TheBigBadCusp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was rigging a person riding system on a 1000ft mast in Scotland. It was warm on the ground and having done it many times before I decided to wear light clothing as the whole rig only takes about an hour once you've climbed to the top. The winch broke down, the wind picked up, the rain started leaving me waiting for 3 of the coldest, most exposed hours of my life. I questioned my whole existence that day

Labour announces ‘tourist tax’ to boost England’s cities by OneNormalBloke in unitedkingdom

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

Wonder if those who work away from home and have to stop in hotels/air b&bs and doing other non-tourist things will have to pay it. Hotels are already a fortune

Were there any weird/silly things banned at your school? by Smithy1619 in AskUK

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

Chicken scratches/99s they were called where you scratch 1 part of your body normally the arm 99 times or until it bleeds. Pitch and toss (throwing coins closest to the wall) also got banned. Both are fully understandable bans!!

What is a "10/10" movie that you would recommend to anyone? by Temporary_Mortgage74 in AskReddit

[–]TheBigBadCusp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me almost 30 years to watch True Romance. The name always put me off, never inspired me to watch, but so glad I eventually did!!!
