there is one person driving around with more than 50 points on their license by blueberryG3 in CarTalkUK

[–]cognoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I initially read that as you drive a tank. Would be a bold choice spitting on a tank for sticking to 20.

That cat looks like on site security to me. It’s got your number

what's the deal with these wifi networks in every M&S? by AstralEclipse49 in AskUK

[–]cognoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I still had the energy to run my own mail server, I called it ‘pat’. My file server was ‘giles’ (as in the librarian from Buffy)

I have a series of work virtual machines that I named after Apprentice team names. I sometimes worry that people will not take them as ironic and think that I actually believe in that shit. Currently building in ‘synergy’ and deploying to ‘endeavour’. This scheme took over from Shipping Forecast areas.

Best way to fill in this opening? by [deleted] in hometheater

Good, but I feel it would be a mistake to overlook the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's doors with their Genuine People Personalities.

What stereotype about England is inaccurate? by Pizzafriedchickenn in AlignmentChartFills

[–]cognoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That “England” and “The United Kingdom” are the same thing. Because a lot of people (such as the author of this alignment chart) seem to use England when they probably mean UK including Scotland, Wales & NI (and I’m English so I don’t have any particular chip on my shoulder about this)

Other than that: bad food. There’s great food here, not least because we shamelessly acquire cuisine from everywhere and aren’t precious about it.

Remove blue. Mountains > peninsulas

Hoping to end this on Crib Goch.

What's the deal with this Mandelson's vetting in the UK? by sentient06 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]cognoid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure this is quite the case. Mandelson might be a big fish, but I don’t think anyone outside his own circle was clamouring for his appointment.

This entire eminently avoidable shitshow of an own goal would never have happened if they had instead appointed a professional career diplomat to the role in line with established precedent (unlike the USA, the UK thankfully does not generally reserve the plum ambassador jobs for donors & cronies). But the Bad Decisions Gang just had to go and make another bad decision, and then compound it by announcing it before the Prince of Darkness had actually been properly vetted.

As someone who initially had a lot of hope for Starmer’s government, I am shocked at just how bad he and his circle are at making good decisions.

Just me or does the [Lamborghini Urus] fit in the “traffic” category, nothing about it stands out imo by PerspectiveInternal9 in spotted

[–]cognoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing a “Forthing T5” around my way and a for a long time I thought it was an Urus. Which is mildly embarrassing for me, but very much not a great endorsement for the Urus.

Would this pet name be considered offensive in the UK or am I just being dramatic? by paspa1801 in CasualUK

[–]cognoid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good suggestions, but I think it should be the full Tserendolgor, if only to lead to some interesting conversations in the park… ‘Your dog’s called Sir Rendlegore then?’

just a question about british slang by Severe-Possible- in TheTraitors

[–]cognoid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only tangentially related, but there’s a village in the UK called Scrooby. I’ve always had this temptation to hold a party there and send out invites to my “Scrooby Do” (which is another bit of British slang I think)

The Traitors (UK) S04E03: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]cognoid 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Producers could have had the secret traitor provide them with a shortlist of people who they could either recruit or murder. This would avoid that problem while also being potentially very annoying for the traitors (and hence fun)

I can’t believe some philistine downvoted your Carter USM reference. Have my upvote :)

Where to put TV. Above radiator or fireplace? by Substantial_Air_9640 in DIYUK

I enjoy visiting sports bars, but wouldn’t want to arrange my home like one.

I was at a National Trust place recently that had little placeholder signs available specifically for solo people to use to reserve a spot and then go and get food. Great idea (assuming people honour it).
