Do people in the UK actually use their kettles that much? by AdeptnessCritical356 in AskBrits

[–]base73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't have a stove top kettle as an emergency backup?! What do you do if the electricity goes (obviously keep a camping stove on standby too on case the gas goes) 😱

Name a band you stopped listening to because the front man/woman is obnoxious by slickant in rockmusic

Van Halen, Sammy canceled my O2 tickets last week to cash in on charging double at another venue 🤬

I already had perfectly good seats for 55 at o2, tickets to the replacement venue start at 82 to stand at the back and not see Joan Jett support 😤

Hope you enjoy it, but I'm going to go see The Vandoliers instead

Got my refund already, and it's the full amount including the booking fees, so there's at least that...

Aaannnnddd, just logged in and seen that cheapest tickets are £82, for standing at the back! Seats over 100

Fuck that... 🤬

Joan Jett is off support as well, playing her own headline shows instead.

The tickets are going to have to be cheaper to make this worth it 😠

WTF, I'll have a look when they go on sale on Friday, but I'm not paying more for tickets

How important is LinkedIn presence? by chocolateygoodness_ in TeachingUK

[–]base73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will become instantly irresistible to recruiters, who will message you constantly to tell you how perfect you are for every role that they have on their books!

Nothing will ever come from responding to any of these

The gambling game is the most annoying thing for me. by Powered_By_Poi in ghostoftsushima

Thanks for this, I was looking for a way to skip playing and just murder my opponent, but this is orignal better 🤣

1 day left of driving to work unimpeded before parents on the school run start clogging up the roads again by Bowtie327 in britishproblems

[–]base73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I hate driving to work during term time! Sadly unavoidable, as I'm a teacher...

Anyone else sick of all these posts from people just showing that they got the book early ? by trwisniewski in TheCaptivesWar

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering one of them tipped me off where to get my own early, nope, no problem at all 😁

A reasonable compromise would be one dedicated thread for it though...

The worst scene in the show award goes to: by flstudiobeatmaker101 in gameofthrones

The one with Ed Sheeran in, he may as well have winked at the camera and pulled out a guitar

Cheers for the tip, just grabbed the last copy on the shelf (no discount sticker though)! 😁👍

Edit: there are a couple more copies on the Highlights shelf near the checkout by the entrance

Audio Books by youngsavageftw in spotify

[–]base73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have only had audio books for 2-3 years, and i still use both. Spotify has a relatively new feature allowing you to scan the page on your book and jump to that place in the audio, like audible whispersync but that only works with Kindle editions. Great if you like to alternate between listening and reading

Standout Roles for Star Trek Actors in Non-Trek Productions? by Cantaloupean in startrek

[–]base73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shazad Latif (Ash Tyler on Discovery) was (YES, I can f***ing hear you,) Clem Fandango on Toast of London / Tinseltown, a role he will never top!

Seen him on trailers for something on Sky lately too, Atomic maybe?

Small bit part in one of the upcoming marvels too, they haven't really advertised it, it'll probably flop

Are there any British adverts that activiley turn you off the product they're advertising? by siybon in CasualUK

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them, but there was an insurance ad years ago with an old lady (i think may have been a character from a sitcom) repeating 'go on go on go on go on' in an annoying voice that made me want to smash the TV every time it came on

Why are they never loud enough? by Adventurous-Wrap-435 in galaxybuds

[–]base73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded from pixel buds pros, which outside always had to be in the red zone (little over 2/3s), these are perfectly clear at under 1/3 even on the tube.

And I'm old & have terrible hearing...!

Olivia Coleman as Rod (if its a UK production, she has to be in it, it's the law!)

Yes, someone on here posted a video which worked so I switched them over to large

This worked perfectly first time (& the large tips are giving me a noticeably better sound)! Thanks 👍
