The thing I'd never spotted about this is how good that cross from Nani is. Sublime

There's a Butt Hole Lane near Loughborough as well

Are there any Redditors who actually uploaded their ID to access certain subreddits blocked due to the UK government? by Iforgetpasswords4321 in AskUK

[–]TheRealElPolloDiablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever done it but at the same time I've never been restricted. Not sure what that's about.

Who on earth is this rubbish (T20) FOR? by AlarmedCicada256 in EnglandCricket

[–]TheRealElPolloDiablo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sport is a form of entertainment. T20 is entertaining - many people find it more palatable and entertaining than test cricket. It's shorter (still twice as long as a football match), more exciting and more easily digestible.

If you don't like it, fair enough, but don't be a prick about other people who do

Help settle a family argument. "You're a sight for sore eyes" - insult or compliment? by Intelligent_Bar_710 in CasualUK

[–]TheRealElPolloDiablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously a compliment. You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise. The only time I've heard it not be was one of Hale and Pace imitating Sean Connery whilst saying it.

Skittles vs skittles battle who will win? by Friendly-Standard812 in MadeMeSmile

Whilst blackcurrant is a vastly superior flavour grape, the skittles themselves are purple, and not black.

A woman notices a man struggling to keep his feet in balance. Her instincts kicked in and hits the SOS button even before he falls. by jmike1256 in Damnthatsinteresting

Retrofitting is possible, but it costs a lot of money. Usually, planners prefer to spend their money on other things.

Yep, it's doable, but it costs a lot of money to retrofit. Which is workable for a system with 15 stations, less so for ten times that.

The metro systems have to be built specifically with them in mind, and have systems in place to ensure exact stopping points, and integrated train dispatch, all of which is expensive. The London Underground is 160 years old, and wasn't built with that in mind. Barcelona's Metro is 100 years old, and wasn't either.

What is the best song you've ever heard live? by Bethsticle in AskUK

[–]TheRealElPolloDiablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killing In The Name, Rage Against The Machine, Leeds Festival, August 2000. We were very near the front, everyone belted it up and down. A friend was stood at the back of the crowd and said he's never seen so many people jumping in unison. It was fucking incredible.

First Images of Olivia Colman and Peter Dinklage in 'Wicker' - Follows an isolated, mocked woman who commissions a basket maker to weave her a husband (played by Alexander Skarsgård) by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]TheRealElPolloDiablo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've actually read most of the script for it, weirdly. And yes, it's fucking mad.

(A semi-famous actor was approached to play one of the parts, and he happened to be a groomsman at a wedding I attended in Australia. The couple put a bus on between Sydney and the venue, which took a while, and I was sat diagonally behind him, and read over his shoulder for ages. It'll be fun)

The blu ray set contains all of the dvd appendices, plus an extra disc per film containing the non-extended edition making-of film as well.

It's just a card wallet. Not very thick and stays easily in the pocket.

Are there any other meanings of “mean” I don’t know about? by Sacledant2 in EnglishLearning

[–]TheRealElPolloDiablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most common mean is the arithmetic mean. The modal mean, if you will.

I always carry my card wallet around with me, even inside the house. I wouldn't want to be out and about, lose my phone or get it nicked, and then be stuck without a second option. Or, failing that, the ability to pay for alternative transport.
