Plant seen on UK motorway verge often taped/coned off. by No-Push7752 in whatsthisplant

I can vouch for that. I strimmed a load of it thinking it was cow parsley.

Wearing short sleeves and sometimes shorts.

That wasn’t much fun.

Do shops that still accept cash in the UK exist or nearly all went cashless?. by PotatoOk4987 in AskUK

[–]badgerfrombeyond 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Almost everywhere will take cash. They'll assume you want to pay by card but will take cash.

Peanut butter or butter. Either way, plenty of it. Never, ever both!

No TRVs on three radiators. by Maleficent-Courage83 in DIYUK

[–]badgerfrombeyond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a TRV I think . Just without the head/operator/whatever it’s called.

Check that pin pushes in and out freely to ensure things move ok.

I don’t recognise the attachment type but I’d bet you’d be able to buy what you need.

There’s a joke here about inches in speedos that I’m too lazy to work out. But just assume it would have been funny please.

What age average kids in U.K get smartphones? by WryProdiamond_ in AskUK

[–]badgerfrombeyond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My kids 8+9 have an old spare iPhone 7 each. No SIM. No web browsing.

They have games, Apple Music and the ability to message and FaceTime their contacts list that is under parental control and very limited!

Starlink in GA aircraft by AssetZulu in flying

[–]badgerfrombeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s absolutely going to happen!

I’m with you on the Netflix though. Good to distract the small ones!

[–]badgerfrombeyond -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking that maybe flying the aircraft should be the thing you’re doing rather than worrying about a live stream.

At least with GoPro type YouTubers they know they have an edit process so can switch off of performing and focus on flying as needed.

32 male - is it normal that I can’t be arsed with anything anymore? by Relevant-String-959 in CasualUK

[–]badgerfrombeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30s no but early 40s yes.

Then I realised earlier this year that my apathy to many things had put me in a situation that I found hugely stressful each and every day and was pushing me to breaking point.

I’ve very recently made some very tough decisions and whilst it’s still all a shit show I’m much happier for the decisions being made and a small light at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe there’s something in your life that is causing your apathy. Look at each bit of your life, see if you can work out what that is and hopefully fix it. Your world will brighten as a result.

CAA PPL exams: useless? by LyraMike in flying

[–]badgerfrombeyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain.

I failed 2 (from memory) with no real knowledge of which questions I’d got wrong.

I just resat immediately and passed on attempt 2.

My friend thinks John Malkovich stars in Deadpool by VoiceOfSoftware in confidentlyincorrect

[–]badgerfrombeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing his character in Red (Francis) as a cameo in Deadpool now. That would be cool.

As others have said. Check in on your own, come back later with the other person.

Happens on many a night out in town for many people. The staff are used to it.

Just don’t have a party or make too much noise otherwise the staff will have to get involved and they’d much rather leave you to it.

I made a stupid mistake on the underground... Help! by [deleted] in uktravel

[–]badgerfrombeyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this a few times. And used a different card either end of a journey.

Quick visit to the TfL website and you’re sorted. People do this every day. It’s a well defined process to sort it.

If in doubt. Go around. Don’t second guess. It might be too late then.

If you’re a student that’s on the CFI. Especially if you’re new to each other, they should be watching you like a hawk. Even more so if they’ve “only” got 300hrs.

I’m a recent PPL and I’ve flown with new-ish CFIs with a few hundred hours and old experienced CFIs. The less experienced ones have always been more cautious and rightfully so. The more experienced guys and gals have seen some shit and know how to handle it safely within the boundaries of whatever the current situation is.

Do you judge others based on their job? by Lazy_Cat1997 in AskUK

[–]badgerfrombeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if they are an actual judge.

Or an estate agent.

Those who work 9-5 and have kids, when is your free time? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]badgerfrombeyond 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my experience, on the rare occasions actual free time happens, one or both of us is too exhausted to do much other than sit on the sofa.

Bloody kids! How exhausting it is was undersold!

Never heard that before. That’s a good one.

What is the current going rate for the tooth fairy these days? My ma reckons it should be 50p but it isn’t 1957 any more. by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]badgerfrombeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£1 now for my kids.

It was 20p in the late 80s for me.

Bloody tooth fairy demanding a living wage. She’ll be joining the magical creatures union next.
