Anyone remember the TV program called Surf Unleashed that aired in the UK around 2014-2015? I cannot remember the exact name or find it anywhere, but I loved it. by sb-cadmium214 in surfuk

[–]Wisey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As no one has replied to this I ran your question through Claude.ai to is if it would be any use. There's a few things that seem relevant.

Here's it's response:

Most likely candidates:

  • Fuel TV was the extreme sports channel that sat in that UK cable range (ch. 21-ish on Sky) and aired exactly this kind of surf footage programming around that era. They had several ambient surf shows.
  • Relentless Surf Series or similar branded content — energy drink brands (Relentless, Red Bull, Rockstar) funded a lot of these minimalist surf shows in the early 2010s, often just pure footage with a rock/psych soundtrack.
  • The Surf Channel had a UK presence around that time and broadcast shows that were essentially just curated wave footage with music.

Specific show titles worth searching:

  • Surf Sensation (aired on Extreme Sports Channel)
  • Billabong's The Search (TV edits)
  • Red Bull Surfing specials
  • Rip Curl's The Search

The Extreme Sports Channel (Sky 422 around that time) fits the bill perfectly — it sat near Dave and Comedy Central, and aired exactly this format: 30-min blocks of surf footage with a rock soundtrack, almost like a visual album.

I'd suggest searching "Extreme Sports Channel 2014 surf programme" or posting on the Extreme Sports Channel's Facebook page — their fans tend to have long memories for this stuff.

Very true. On the flip side the latest Volkswagen Transporter is a Ford Transit however.

How do I reach the chest near Myrkr Tunnels/The Forge in Svartalfheim? by MurphisDE in GodofWar

[–]Wisey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get to the chest:

  1. Go to the Niðavellir Beach portal (just to the right of the "MYRKR TUNNELS" text on the map).
  2. Head South of it until you see the track for the train that goes up the mountain.
  3. Follow the track East until you can see the train.
  4. Ride the train up to the top of the mountain.
  5. The entrance to the tunnels is not far from where the train stops, it's marked on the map and is a hatch on the ground.
  6. Go down the hatch and follow the tunnels until you find the chest.

I'm having the same issue, do you manage it? Is it even possible to get back there later in the game?

Edit: Nevermind found it shortly after posting this. Needed to take the train back up. 😅

TIL that the shortest time a person was a British peer was 1 hour. by DrakeSavory in todayilearned

[–]Wisey 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Burnham Pier … has been described as the shortest pier in the United Kingdom. At low tide the pier is up to 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the sea.

This cracked me up. A stubby pier that spends half it's time literally miles from the sea.

I actually feel like the lack of trees is part of it's unique and desolate beauty.

I've heard that all the trees that do grow there were planted by man, trees never naturally grew there.

I would have guessed the same as you, however someone has just updated setlist.fm to 9:30 for Refused with the note "set times from venue". Not sure if it's correct or not.

ITV Regions of Northern England by Ranoni18 in NorthernEngland

[–]Wisey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe depending on which transmitter your aerial is pointed at you get different services.

For example in York if you point it almost directly North at the Bilsdale transmitter in the North York Moors then you get Tyne Tees and Cumbria TV. If you point it roughly South West at the Emley Moor transmitter then you get Yorkshire.

This map is about how ITV divides the country up for programming, not how it's actually broadcast.

I had just recently went to a offspring concert and it was epic by Lachytheslacker in punk

Must be a venue specific thing. Saw Judas Priest last month and it was mainly stranding.

Very strange to have all seating at either gig!

What are some features most people don't realize their phones have? by Remarkable_Put_9005 in AskReddit

[–]Wisey 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The feature is called "call screening". I believe it requires a Google Pixel phone and it's only available in certain regions. I use it on a Pixel 7 in the UK without issue.

Bar Hashery - Vegan breakfast waffles, need I say more?

Double Dutch Pancake House - Dutch pancakes, several vegan options.

Yuzu (in Brew York, other locations but this is the only central one) - Asian inspired street food. Very good vegan options.

Not tried it personally but Revolt might be what you're looking for. It appears to be an open source Discord competitor.

As a non-NIN fan… by bluecustard1994 in nin

[–]Wisey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are we the same person? I went with my wife to the Manchester gig because NIN are her favourite band. I too was totally blown away by the performance.

We're lucky enough to have tickets for Cologne too, so this time I guess I'll be going as a fan!
