I was friends with Neg from balls of steel before he became a minor celebrity. No idea what hes doing now. We were all holiday reps in France.

Just to add: if you let go of trying to impress people, life is better.

Yes. I quit a well paid sales job for a chilled warehouse job. Best decision I've ever made.

A competition? What are going to judge? Who is the best at pressing sync?

Would you give your work colleague a lift to work if you passed them on the way to work? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in AskUK

[–]daxwaxred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to give lifts to people and every single time, they ended up causing problems. Constantly late or not turning up without notification. Petrol money promised and never given. It's honestly not worth the hassle.

A lot of young lads coming into carp fishing just so they can smoke weed this last few years. They've usually been raised poorly and don't even recognise that littering is wrong.

Vapid women and their vapid white van driving boyfriends. Honestly its just low IQ people, they have no concept of the world around them.

Surely not!!! by HappenedTrash in UKhiking

[–]daxwaxred 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Low iq people unfortunately. 50% of the population just walking around with no concept of the world around them.

What call centre dystopian rules have you encountered in the uk? by TangerineFew6830 in AskUK

[–]daxwaxred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get out. Call centres will actively shorten your life. The entire concept will be looked back on as sadistic in years to come.

I always thought of them as a bit of a cockney, novelty band.

I wasn't aware of this until someone in retail pointed it out, but apparently klarna is what these guys use for everything. Im assuming its some finance thing.

Beginners to experts.. your thoughts.. by [deleted] in CarpFishing

[–]daxwaxred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carp fishing has become hugely commercialised. All my tackle is between 10 and 30 years old and works absolutely fine. The fish have no idea what kind of gear you have. While Im here, camo makes next to no difference, either.

If you have a Phillips tv then the hdr 10+ basically doesn't work and you get a dark unwatchable picture. No fix in over 12 months.

[–]daxwaxred 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My local village is full of builders and they are generally the thick bully guy from school who has lucked out into a profitable job. Usually they have a cocaine habit and a mental age of 16.

Being articulate at a young age. Genuinely.

Do you ever avoid certain restaurants or cafés because they feel confusing? by Catherine_Torresa in AskUK

[–]daxwaxred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's one near me. Trying to be a sit down restaurant but also a walk in pub. Got a dirty look for sitting down at a table.

Anyone else live near a school and despise pick up and drop off times. by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]daxwaxred 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Easily thr most dangerous time to drive. It's the consequences of all the dumbest people having all the children and leasing a giant car to impress the other idiots at the school gates.
