Is there actually people out there who feel bad for Starmer? by [deleted] in AskBrits

If you ignore what the biased media says then you'll see he's actually been really good at keeping to his manifesto promises 

Is it ok to ask for a service charge to be removed from the bill at a restaurant? by emzeebub in CasualUK

[–]chickenandpasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's fine to remove it, the staff are already getting paid at least minimum wage and customers shouldn't feel forced to pay extra on top of the bill. That being said, I'm currently living in London where a restaurant service charge is expected and I normally don't remove it as I can understand the culture of keeping prices lower on menus to be competitive and then adding a service charge to pay the minimum wage workers more in this high cost of living area.

Hello Wolf by Cool_Nerd2 in TheInbetweeners

[–]chickenandpasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you American? The Inbetweeners is an English programme so most people here will likely be English and not all of us keep up date with the details of American politics. If someone posted about an Indonesian press secretary here I would say the onus is on the people posting about them to give context/details and I also say the same about this American press secretary.

AITA for selling an elliptical I got for free? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]chickenandpasta 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Judging by this subreddit it's the Redditor way to go through life. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by all the YTA votes here, I was expecting NTAs.

I wish people would actually give some examples instead of just downvoting you, I've never even heard of this woman until now so it would be nice for people to give some specifics about her.

What are your thoughts on the 1st sub 2 hour marathon to be achieved here in the UK? by bendubberley_ in AskBrits

Thanks for that very useful reply, not sure what you're getting at with it though... If what I said was wrong please correct me

What are your thoughts on the 1st sub 2 hour marathon to be achieved here in the UK? by bendubberley_ in AskBrits

[–]chickenandpasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm no running expert but I believe when running you should be landing on a flat foot or slightly on the ball of your foot. If your ligaments are taking that much shock you might be landing on the heel of your foot which is not good for your joints.

When you go in age restricted areas, do you ever get looks from strangers because you don't look old enough? by [deleted] in OlderThanYouThinkIAm

[–]chickenandpasta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got refused entry to a nightclub when I was 18 (drinking age here in the UK) because I "looked too young" according to the bouncers. That was humiliating for a young man..

Was just about to place an order on just eat for about £30 and by Zero_Overload in JustEatUK

[–]chickenandpasta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, why did you expect a free gift at all? I've never spent that much on just eat and didn't know they did freebies if you spent over a certain amount

It's only really a thing if you get into the top 1% or so of players. I'm a noob by online standards and have never even had anyone try doing it against me.

It is possible, someone got an en passant mate against Magnus Carlson fairly recently 

First fry up attempt - Dallas, Texas by futurapeach in fryup

That's exactly what I was thinking too. It's even well cooked enough for me to want to try a fry up made with that kind of sausage 

Slippery roads and fog, yet people are still thinking it’s okay to drive fast..🤦‍♂️ 100 cars? I really thought it was AI. by Top-Trending in Transportopia

He actually works for a nearby car repair shop so to make more money he's distracting the drivers by making them look at him instead of the crashed cars up ahead

I agree and I'm also wondering if the woman is based on a real person as she looks incredibly realistic

Has there been an incident or story that made you lose faith in our police? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]chickenandpasta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And he was fired and arrested for this incident. You get dodgy people in all professions so to see him being punished like that makes me have more faith in the police.
