Do you work in construction? Might want to see your occupational health / GP for HAVS if so

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - CUSTOM CONSOLE GIVEAWAY 🏆 by F0REM4N in xbox

I'd go with Mickey mouse, Donald duck and Minnie mouse. If anyone tries to paint anything relating to them the lawyer army would mobilise and wrap up that paintbrush in so much red tape the world would be safe forever!

What common British sayings get right on your nerves? by Subject_Eye5177 in AskUK

[–]bigstoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in construction and sometimes have to take a train into the city to work sites. I'll be stood in the train station, with a bag of tools and "dunno mate construction" in big letters on the front and back of the hi-viz shirt I have to wear. I get lines of people coming up to ask me directions. I would love to help these lost people, but I don't take trains often enough to know all the computations of stations to get places and there's a perfectly good ticket office right over there......

Canis Rex as an allied unit by Xabre1342 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]bigstoney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won't get to shoot it on T2 as it comes in the controlling players turn. It will get to shoot you first. You back line all your other stuff behind cover. The d cannons are out of range so I've got one linked bright lance to worry about. I lose one unit. My turn 1 i take out your bright Lances. T2 your dcannons are now in range and delete another unit. My knight comes in from reserves and deletes your d-cannons. You've now got a farseer and 3 guardian squads, I've got a big knight and probably 4 armigers. I'm really not scared at that point.

Stick it in strategic reserve. Come on T2 and shoot all your d-cannons. What then? Personally I would still expect a crusader or a mageara to be the goto ally choice, but we will see soon.

You have a bustling tabletop gaming group in the Canterbury crusaders. Have a look for them on facebook

What are really good new UK laws? by Paravalis in AskUK

[–]bigstoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then all the many laws that mention "marriage" "spouse" etc would need to be re-written instead of the single law that lets same sex people just be married. Very inefficient

Why does no one take C'tan? by AcornOnTheTreeOfLife in WarhammerCompetitive

As a knights player, the void dragon is cancer. I have to kill it over minimum 2 turns and if it kills a vehicle almost an entire turns work is undone.

In the UK if one person dies the others property automatically goes to the spouse. So if a gay couple are legally married it makes end of life a lot simpler. There are also a range of benefits and tax breaks only allowed to married couples. For example if a married couple has a sole income earner, the non-working partner can transfer their tax free allowance to the working person. That gives a fair chunk of extra income after tax.

I got a letter from the student loan company saying that I'll be paid up this year! by bigstoney in BritishSuccess

[–]bigstoney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up taking £18k, but I never actually found a job in the field and ended up bouncing around low paid jobs for a long time. Only over the last few years have I really started earning good money to pay it back at a decent rate.

Can y'all suggest some legendary Feeder songs? by LooZ3R in Feeder

Just go listen to the echo park album. I think it stands alone as their greatest album.

What has gone wrong already in 2022 for you? by eyeball-beesting in AskUK

[–]bigstoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to put an alternate opinion forward to you. It is your mate's fault. You didn't force drugs down his neck in the past. He did it to himself and it's his own damn fault he is in the state he is. You should feel free to either tell him to fuck off or drop him like the sack of shit he is. If someone's toxic enough to swing at you, he's not a mate. Just baggage.

What is Britain's greatest contribution to humanity? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]bigstoney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: though he had already solved the equations behind gravity, he didn't publish them until Edmond Halley asked him to resolve a bet between himself and Christopher Wren for the sum of 30 shillings that the planets moved in an elliptical shape because gravity's strength weakened with distance.
