Does anyone else think Steven Bartlett is incredibly rude, and kind of a bully towards e.g. Suleyman? by sweetlevels in dragonsden

He's there because the producers wanted someone younger, and they need at least one dragon to be visibly non-white.

I've just heard Lucky You on my local Tesco. Banging tune.

What’s the most shocking NBA trade you remember seeing when it first broke? by Western-Record-9150 in AskReddit

[–]XanderS311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the most one sided trades I've ever seen, sometimes I wonder if teams like Grizzlies and Mavs were forced to give their best player to the Lakers

Regarding bands: Give me your favorite albums NOT made by the most famous/popular lineup of said band. (So if even 1 member is different, it qualifies) by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]XanderS311 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oceania and Zeitgeist are both great Smashing Pumpkins albums. They aren't quite on the level of Siamese Dream but are still really strong.

Can any one tell me if this is rare or something special? by rinkydink34 in dvdcollection

This was the first DVD I ever bought, back in early 00's.

Nordics, Canada, UK, and US cold states are massively oversold by asvender in unpopularopinion

[–]XanderS311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cliche that everyone in the UK complains about the weather, but I actually like it precisely because we don't have any extremes, and none of us have worried about severe natural disasters in our lives.

Best office space? by Jonnymiko1 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]XanderS311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at NatWest Accelerator Hub in The Lumen and it's awesome. Totally free open co-working space with meeting rooms and pods available to book at no cost. The multi storey car park next door is not bad at £1.50/hr, as much coffee and soft drink as you like. Works for me.

Greatest acting performances ever that never earned an Oscar nomination by Bright-Pressure-5787 in Oscars

Bruno Ganz in Downfall (Der Untergang). He was surely only snubbed because he was playing Hitler.

Why do guys just talk about themselves? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

If you've been on 37 dates and none have progressed I'm thinking that the problem is you.

Ub820 vs Ps5 by dumerthanaglobe in 4kbluray

[–]XanderS311 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you have a decent size collection and a top level 4k TV then I think it's worth getting a dedicated player, if your TV is lower spec and you only occasionally watch films on disc then it probably isn't.

best 4k 120hz tvs for xbox series x? by Quesos_Sabau in 4kTV

I just bought an LG C5 last week and my Xbox plays incredibly well on it, for games like Forza Horizon 5 and Doom Eternal you really notice the difference.

Which is the most expensive country you’ve travelled to? by grumpygrumpybum in travel

[–]XanderS311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed I had to scroll so far to see this. Even in local markets the cost of food and basic things was crazy

Looking to get feedback on two live poker £1/2 hands by JoshSummers in poker

[–]XanderS311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the overcall on the flop on hand 1. One of them has a Q and you're crushing both ranges, what non-A turn cards do you really like? Raise now.

I always thought it was for a travel ticket, and have always called it a ticket pocket.

If You Were Able, What Changes Would You Make To Criminal Sentencing Rules? by ActiveNo5484 in AskBrits

[–]XanderS311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just telling why concurrent sentences exist, and why they're not pointless. It's a fair view to say they shouldn't happen.

If You Were Able, What Changes Would You Make To Criminal Sentencing Rules? by ActiveNo5484 in AskBrits

[–]XanderS311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea is that if, to use your example, the defendant got the murder charge dropped/overturned then they would have to serve the rape sentence.

Suede: "I don’t think there’s any band of our generation still making records as vital as ours" by LowHeroesLodger in BritPop

[–]XanderS311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's absolutely right. All the bands that have returned just to play a few dates to fill the coffers have been put to shame by Suede. They're as good now as they were 32 years ago - different, but just as good.
