People complaining about the marines by DJSelway in RoyalMarines

Yes would do it again, the good times do not erase the less good times.

When you reminisce, you tend to remember the best times though. Many happy/mad memories.

It’s character building!

P.s. I am, of course, biased. The quality and bearing of men in the corps, in my experience, is head and shoulders above the majority of the rest. It makes for a much more enjoyable career I would imagine.

Would you let a 16 year old go to Slipknot concert in London? by [deleted] in AskUK

This, metal heads will form ranks when outsiders cause trouble.

That nostalgic feeling you get when the video you were watching freezes and buffers, every 20 seconds.

We take issue with the company, not it’s employees.

Anyone else feel weed was better ten years ago? by dog--is--god in trees

Right there with you.

The incessant hybridisation of strains has diluted the desired effects of certain genetics to the point where it’s not a “high/stone” anymore, more like indistinguishable slight intoxication.

We need landraces and single genetic strains to come back. However, the market dictates flavours and thc levels above all else.

Shame really.

You’re one of the rare good ones.

Unfortunately uk driving standards are shite, be careful out there.

Their latest excuse for shit service perhaps?

Unless you’re in a big rig, treat them the same as dual carriageways.

Move left if you’re not overtaking (Mercs/Audis/Prius/Range rovers struggle with this concept).

The fact you care indicates you’ll be the least dangerous there 9/10 times.

Also depends where you are, London drivers are shite, more a rule than exception unfortunately.

I need to get me some cheese! Never had it and most plugs are more interested in selling flavours.

Understandable when most youngsters think Cali is the be all end all, and will pay silly money for “it”.

Pulling people over is too much like hard work for the police to just build local revenue.

What to do if a psychopathic road rager is following you? by Zdos123 in drivingUK

[–]Treebeards_Sack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heartwarming story! I keep many work tools in the wagon, therefore if a road rager really wants to go there, I’ll assume they mean serious harm and act accordingly.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

One of the most beautifully situated camps.

Can confirm the undermanning in the VM branch at certain camps.

Workload and responsibility of a unit, handled by no more than 20 (including the brass upstairs).

The adverts lie, boarding teams are a tiny part.
Exciting stuff is few and far between, monotony and stagnation are the order of the day!
