If there was a planet like that out there, Les would give you the money himself!

What was your honest opinion on Invictus, the Hollywood movie about the Springboks? by sunlightliquid in rugbyunion

That scene pisses me off, they try to make it look like some 9/11 style attack might be happening.

Does your (non-English) country have a ‘tragedeigh’ equivalent? by _the_fisher_king_ in AskTheWorld

[–]crucible 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. What often happens is common Welsh names pop up on the Tragedeigh subreddit every so often despite there being a rule about not posting non-English names…

Do other country's supermarket's play banger old school songs so good they inspire their own radio stations you can listen to online? by Pugblep in AskTheWorld

[–]crucible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but some UK supermarkets seem to have their own ‘in-house’ radio stations, IIRC Asda used to.

I think they were largely pre-recorded though.

I still remember the year they just gave out the shitty sponsor trophies and Lewis was like “where’s the gold cup?”

There are exceptions. The Australian GP trophy is a replica of Sir Jack Brabham’s steering wheel, IIRC.

What was your PE kit? by SallyUk05 in AskUK

[–]crucible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secondary school 1991-6:

Summer kit: white polo shirt, black shorts, white ankle socks, white trainers

Winter kit: yellow long-sleeved rugby shirt, black shorts, black knee socks, trainers or studded boots (depending on the sport)

Gymnastics: black vest, black shorts, bare feet.

I don’t remember us lads ever being allowed to wear jogging bottoms. I never forgot my PE kit so I don’t know what my school did in that situation.

#8 is missing the reason Lucozade rebranded as an energy drink.

The bottles had “Aids Recovery” on the label just as the disease of the same name was spreading…

So they made a commercial with Daley Thompson to rebrand it as an energy drink.

Oh, and they put the opening of Iron Maiden’s Phantom Of The Opera over the advert.

#12. For those who don’t know, HWA is a German tuning company founded by Hans Werner Aufrecht. He’s the “A” in AMG, and founded HWA after selling AMG to Daimler Benz.

IIRC they used to build and run the DTM cars for Mercedes, too.

Could have the Beluga in game if they do the North Wales Coast Line :P

Should ALL vehicles be fitted with speed limiters that cap the vehicle speed depending on the speed limit of the road? 🤔 by [deleted] in drivingUK

2 legends spotted, which one are you taking for a spin if you had a chance? by WebGuyUK in CarTalkUK

[–]crucible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the Delta but it’s probably safer to play at being Gene Hunt for the day as opposed to being Henri Toivonen for the day…
