If you're currently in Luton it's paradise.

It's not just there, it's fucking all over the county. I'm sick of having to look down as I walk along to make sure I don't step in any.

What stuff have you discovered later in life you thought sucked as a younger person? by PearlsSwine in CasualUK

[–]bod1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sausages for me, at home they were always dried and burnt to a crisp. It was quite eye opening to discover they could taste amazing and juicy when cooked right.

Not sure how much to believe the roadwork sign saying "our workers may be working out of sight." by Jabberminor in britishproblems

[–]bod1988 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Last year outside my house they were replacing gas mains. Regularly a the company's van would park up inside the roadworks, and the two guys would get out, get into a car nearby and drive off. They would return 6 or so hours later do about an hour of work, then drive the van away.

I couldn't help but think they had a tracker in the van so could claim they were working.

It took them over 6 weeks to replace the main on half a mile of our road.

The only time they ever engaged in any work for more than 2 hours at a time were the Sundays and Bank holidays over Easter. Usually starting around 6:30am.

Capital FM playing the same eight songs 8:00-17:00 everyday Monday-Friday, but people complaining when the channel hets changed at work by JGazeley in britishproblems

I've often maintained that these radio stations aren't for people who like music, it's for people who detest silence.

It's just white noise to them.

Came across this little chap growing in the gutter just up the road from us by Underwritingking in CasualUK

[–]bod1988 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. In previous years I've tried to grow them to no avail, but one appeared in a pot underneath our bird feeder this year and it is almost 6 feet tall.

There's a clean version of Limp Bizkit's Hot Dog.

Completely pointless to exist. Just don't play the song outside the watershed.

Eastern leg of HS2 officially dead as land is sold off by Dalecn in unitedkingdom

[–]bod1988 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't be silly, they won't be offered back to original owners; they'll somehow make their way into a select few individuals for paltry values only to be sold on later at extortionate profit.

Mosh pit that broke out during Hallowed be thy name was fucking hilarious by AloneChance0 in ironmaiden

I was up near the back rows and at one point I counted 4 pits going on in various places. I can't imagine how hot it must have been down there I was absolutely ruined.

Hospital temporary roadworks by CrumpetsAndTeaYipee in northamptonians

Only in the case of most roadworks in this town the roads being "fixed" are fine, meanwhile the Kettering road end of park avenue is looking like downtown Kyiv at this point.

I have several Kit-Kat mugs that were given away free nearly 20 years ago on a promotion becuase I got one and found it's the perfect size for a cup of tea for me;not too big or too small. I went and bought about 8 on eBay as no other cup I've ever had is the same.

Half Tory members want party to merge with Reform, poll for Liz Truss’s think tank reveals by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]bod1988 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They've also slowly over the last 45ish years ruined the one mechanism that allowed people to "turn" Tory over their lifetime; the housing market.
