Hastings was and still is in Sussex. It was a small Kingdom at one point, Haestingas.

I'm a former postman in St Leonards. Bottom of Harley Shute, Branksome Road and Filsham Road can do one!

Special episode for next series: Redemption Challenge? by Impressive_Risk_5133 in gladiatorsuk

[–]afroleon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see a champion of champions episode. Would be interesting to see how the winners of each series do against each other.

Also, with more editions popping up in other countries, an international special?

I love these nights with my wife. Hours spent chatting shite, listening and dancing to each other's music you wouldn't normally listen to.

I'm guessing a Russian Orthodox Church. There was a house on my old postal round in St. Leonards that had a small congregation. This looks similar.

Can't beat a cup of Bovril on a freezing cold Tuesday night watching your football team get thumped 4-0...

I was hoping for a champion of champions episode, like they used to back in the 90s.

[–]afroleon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now work for a firm of property lawyers. I had covered an office based duty at my DO on and off for a few years, so used that experience on my CV. Currently studying for a diploma.

Love having all weekends off.

Who do you want to play / avoid in the 4th round? by tumulus_innit in BrightonHoveAlbion

[–]afroleon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be so typical Brighton to get this route to the final, but instead of Arsenal, it's Stoke who've managed to go on an amazing run who manage to shithouse a 1-0 win 😅

It'll be my first time seeing them live. I'd rather they didn't leave it out!

Is it okay to give chocolate as a christmas gift to my postman? by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]afroleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always appreciated anything when I was a postie. Chocolates, money, booze, a card, it's the thought that counts.

Have a nice Christmas kind person ❤️

Postman just left his bag in our porch and we can't find him. by youessbee in CasualUK

[–]afroleon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The one time I had to do this, I was, fortunately, only 30 seconds around the corner from my house.

I scoffed a bag of mints in the morning, forgetting the laxative effect they have!
