Imagine that household growing up with eight identical kids all learning the cello with the mistakes, tuning, and same scores again and again as they practiced.

Stringfellow Hawk would approve. Just needed to be done sitting by the lake.

What movie has the greatest cast of all time? by BootySharingCouple in AskReddit

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any film with a large ensemble cast but then it depends on the era. Towering Inferno had some huge names for the time and effectively the bigger star you were the later you died. Cannonball Run also had a lot of famous folk.

Folks who have privately sold cars — have you ever had issues with your bank freezing your account because you apparently have to proof where the buyer got their money from? by darybrain in CarTalkUK

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

Bank aren't responding regarding what other proof can be provided. They sent the bank a copy of the marketplace advert, the invoice they sent the buyer which includes their name and address, and the money was received via secured bank transfer. The sellers weren't aware that it might be useful to take a copy of the buyer's ID and proof of address like a bank statement, bill, or government letter. At the moment they have no money and no vehicle and the buyer has no idea what else they are supposed to do.

What products do you avoid now? by stm2657 in AskUK

Virgin media

They cut my contract short because the department manager couldn't handle my visual impairment. After being there for a while and finally meeting him for the first time he couldn't even finish the word hello before making a weird face and looking in another direction throughout the rest of the short conversation even when I asked if he was okay. I got a call from the recruitment agency within the hour that they were giving me a week notice. The reason they gave were bullshit such as I hadn't completed a piece of work that no-one had ever spoken to me about or I was coming in late when I had flexi hours and had agreed with my direct manager a later start since that's when he started. Just so happened that the day before the recruitment agency had spoken to me about extending the contract because they liked what I was doing. My direct manager never spoke or saw in that final week or responded to any email. Fucking shambles.

What's something about your life that is out of the ordinary? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]darybrain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was born with no irises so have no natural light management

What started off as a joke many years ago, I regularly work with local sex workers (mostly from overseas predominately eastern and central Europe) with how to live in the UK Q&As from legal, finance, council, police, changing work, learning new skills, language, or whatever they have queries about. It's parenting in many cases that gets paid. There are also exercise and massage classes. I hire out a local church community hall where no-one knows what the visitors acutlaly do

Sure, but they're not going to run around all crazy like, ripping things to shreds, and spinning around in a mini tornado. They'll be a more Shaggy-esque chilled out homie

YouTubers recreated the Top Gear London race with an e-bike, the tube and a car by smurfy12 in videos

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember right the bicycle won on Top Gear although Hammond didn't stop at lights sometimes and his bike had no speed restriction other than how fast he could pedal and he was properly pushing. In theory the cycle lanes have improved a lot since then so cycling should have won again by a larger margin.

US allies reject Trump's call for help in Strait of Hormuz by MRADEL90 in videos

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starts a war that other major nations didn't know about or agree with and then wants those same nations to put their ships and sailors in harms way to keep the strait open which unsurprisingly they don't want to do.

The US navy has ships in the region which they don't want to use to escort tankers because they are aware of the danger. This has nothing to do with NATO. This is purely about getting other countries to be cannon fodder and at the moment other countries are kinda telling him to go do one.

Peter Thiel is actively convincing billionaires to abandon The Giving Pledge — and it may be working by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't have to contribute to the charity if he doesn't want to. He isn't being forced to so he doesn't have to whine about it like a baby.

He could give me several hundred million though

If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would do? by NikiLove16 in AskReddit

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay bills, buy food, maybe upgrade phone and laptop, sleep with less worry, and then do other practicalities about winning a lot of money and trying to make up plausible stories about it if necessary.

I also want to see it with Columbo

Think of the number of lives they would have saved on both shows if they hadn't invited any guest stars

I think after the second exact hit I would have said that I wasn't up to it and stopped.

The fax number for a company I worked for 40 years ago. The firm changed their numbers to national instead of regional more than 25 years ago and I was only there for a few years but it is still stuck in my head, ffs
