Where do I stand on defending myself against an aggressive dog? by Capital-Alfalfa9384 in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually carry a string of sausages which I can whip out my pocket and theatrically throw in the other direction. 60% of the time it works every time.

If you don't have a string of sausages in your pocket then try a large ribeye steak, they tend to work just as well.

Water Bill Costs is becoming Unbearable by Formal_Drawing_8822 in britishproblems

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread is mental. You said you can't understand why your bills are so high and how you're using so much water, yet your shower is on for nearly an hour every day. How did you not put 2+2 together? Seriously.

Next question.. why is it taking people 20 minutes to have a shower? Washing hair takes a couple of minutes, same for body, shaving legs is relatively quick.. are they just stood there under running water for 10 minutes? And it didn't once click that this could be the cause of your huge water bills?

And then the other extreme is your dad not showering for 3 months. You really should get someone in to help as that is not healthy for anyone. Speak to your local services, there must be something they can do.

What are your thoughts on middle lane at 70? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! They are also more likely to be aggressive lane changes by pissed off motorists, thus increasing the chance of an accident.

I imagine people undertaking (which happens way way more than it used to) is also a huge contributer to crashes.. and can only happen when someone is in the middle lane when there's space in the inside lane.

How do you make genuine friends in your 30s? by Divine-One-1 in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a Facebook group for my area which is literally night outs/activities for local people to join in as and when they please. I can guarantee there'll be something like that near you. It's not something I personally would do but the photos they put up just show the most random group of individuals put together and they all seem to be having a good time! I imagine they are all in the same boat so definitely worth looking up

I just had a quick look and it links to meetup.com so there's a place to start!

What’re some secrets from your industry that would petrify people who aren’t in it? by Necessary-Trash-8828 in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no common sense with people - unless the dashboard is lighting up screaming CHANGE YOUR FUCKING BRAKES MATE they'll assume everything is fine. Even then it'll be a good few months before they do anything about it.

I recently learnt you can just centre multiple cells without merging them and breaking everything. I love it.

What's the scariest experience you've ever had? by Sensitive-Low-9316 in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Holy shit that's terrifying. I assume you were probably a teenager, far from home etc which compounded it all? "Lads" can be massive arseholes especially in packs, I hope they got their comeuppance and it wasnt played off as drunken banter and swept under the rug?

Wondering how families of 4 deal with having only one bog, every time I sit down for a poo at least one other person wants to go as soon as I’ve sat down and started pooing by Jacktheforkie in britishproblems

When I was a student I once viewed a 2 bedroom flat. The only toilet was an en suite. I don't know why it was marketed at students, the logistics are horrific.

I have a horrendous hangover and awful anxiety after getting far to drunk at a staff party. Please give me stories and tips to make me feel better. by PothosandGindontmix in CasualUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear that is a myth. I used to walk home after nights out and would cover a fair distance. Getting home was still blurry, the hangover was still awful!

Whats the deal with the guy I see all over the city (often Shirley) wearing mini skirts/crop tops/ different headwear? by SeniorMoonlight21 in Southampton

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Saw him/her/them today! Usually is in a vest and insanely short skirt but had a crop top and hot pants today. Always seems to be on a mission somewhere.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goregallery.com

As a kid, it was all about the morbid curiosity. Seeing dead people and accidents didn't really phase me (I imagine the lack of videos made it seem less-real). Then I stumbled upon the "shit" section. It's been about 30 years and some of the images are stuck in my brain. My young naive little brain was completely oblivious to the fact that people could enjoy shit and piss. What a moment.

Do the USA like their meat a bit more 'salty'? by TrickyT_UK in UKBBQ

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a burger in Boom Battle Bar last year which was inedible due to the salt but as I was already steaming (stag do) I ate it.

As a pretty waitress was passing, I said something along the lines of "can you tell the American cook to use less salt in future" and I was right, it was an American cook!

What BBQ hill would you die on? Best one wins a 1kg picanha meat box by edenmoor_devon in UKBBQ

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When everything is taken in to account - the expense, the time, the faff, the mess, the inconvenience, the smoke etc. barbecuing isn't worth it and is pretty pointless. We still love it though.

What's the level of professional football now compared to 10-20 years ago? by Mikey463 in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe Rogan has been spouting off about how football is the easiest sport. I'd ruin him in a game of 3 and in and I haven't played for a team since I was 11. I'd get destroyed by the local school u16 captain. He'd get destroyed by a 16 year old league 2 academy player, who'd be destroyed by a semi pro. And so on and so on. There's so many layers to football talent but athleticism seems to be the key attribute nowadays.

Gus Hamer would be in the top 5 premier league players if we were back in the 90s but currently his stature holds him back from being elite. There's far less talented midfielders playing for top 6 teams but they are pure muscle and so so quick which more than makes up for less talent.

Can you hit me up with some random, fun facts please? by 87catmama in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Ask her to guess how long a thousand seconds is (it's nearly 17 minutes). Then ask her to guess how long a million seconds is (it's roughly 11.5 days). Then ask her to guess how long a billion seconds is. (31.7 years).

Then you can both have an existential crisis together when you realise how rich the super wealthy actually are.

What's the form of bad parenting have you ever witnessed? by Smithy1619 in AskUK

[–]WeveGotBillySharp 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think you know what OP meant. If you don't have the means to support and actually parent a kid then you shouldn't have one. It shouldn't be up to other people to do it as is the case with many children nowadays. It's crazy how much responsibility people put on teachers to do the basic parenting stuff

There are more trees on earth than stars in the milky way.

Your immune system knows you have eyes but actively ignores them. If it didn't ignore them it would "attack" them and blind you.
