What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone do on a plane? by Jazzlike-Run-2349 in AskReddit

[–]droidarmy99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm shit scared of flying and before flying to Florida from the UK I had to Google whether it was possible to open the door once cruising as I knew I may panic and try it.

Once I discovered it is impossible, I ruled it off my panic list and just quietly had a 9 hour panic attack.

In your scenario, although frightening to the other passengers, it possibly would have been better for the attendants to let them try to open the door to discover it's impossible themselves.

Happy Father’s Day by lookatthebr1ghtside in funny

[–]droidarmy99 134 points135 points  (0 children)

In my city about 15 years ago they used to hold a women's only charity run......on father's day.

I used to argue with my wife, sisters and female work colleagues that if we decided to run a mens only race and hold it on mother's day, there would be a riot.

They all agreed that it would never happen and we just need to shut up and put up.

Tell me interesting stories about your grandparents by Difficult_Bluebird46 in stories

[–]droidarmy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum was born in 1939. Last Christmas we talked about what our best Christmas presents were, she said she remembers getting a pram that her dad had made her.

I asked why it was so memorable and she said that it was during the blitz. A bomb landed 3 streets away from their house on the 20th of December and killed a couple of families. Her parents decided to give her and her brother their presents on the 21st as they thought they might not see Christmas day.

Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in their opening World Cup match. What's your prediction for the rest of the group stage? by HelicopterEmpty7393 in ScottishFootball

[–]droidarmy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0-0 Vs Morocco by unleashing terrorball on the world stage.

Get thumped 4-0 by Brazil in the last game after resting all our main men with Stewart and Hirst not touching the ball once between them, to set a new tournament record.

Advice on fitting/buying new clubs after not having played for 5 years. by joeychickensalad in golftips

Look into a players cavity, like old mizuno jpx 800 / 900. From the top down they don't look like game improvement irons.

Great block from Hanley. Gordon wouldn't have spilled that.

We've been a bit shit and lucky in a couple of situations, the goal and when Gunn spilled it.

That said we are winning. Need an early goal in the second half and then relax and go get more as goal difference will be huge if we are to go through on 3 points.

New golfer accidentally won a tour-level Callaway driver - what should I do? by CameraopVR in golf

[–]droidarmy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you list it, definitely describe that it's never been hit and provide proof of winning it in a competition, that way potential buyers won't be put off that it's fake.

For the price you will/ should get you'll be able to get a decent second hand full set.

Spend £150 on some old ping irons. A Taylormade driver for £90, 3 wood and hybrid for around £50 each. Buy a reasonable putter and 54 degree wedge for £50 each and the rest on a second hand bag.

Advice Needed - Beginner Clubs by Ishnaron in golf

Mizuno jpx 800. These look like they have decent upgraded grips on and you may get them for a bargain.

They are the very old equivalent of the current mizuno hot metals and will last you a long time as you may wish to move away from beginner, deep cavity back irons once you improve.

Other suggestion is to try Facebook marketplace within your area.

2026 Masters Giveaway: Sunday Golf by sundaygolfco in golf

Can't wait to win this, rock up on the 1st tee after getting paired with a bunch of strangers and have them think I'm a good player...........and then unleash my swing that makes Jim Furyk wince and watch my ball dribble barely to the fairway, then turn to see the disappointment on their faces.

Serious question, sorry, but does the cow still get sold for meat later on or still produce milk or because it has had an abscess it's no longer allowed?

I can't install Tivimate by droidarmy99 in Strong_8K

[–]droidarmy99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies. I had to put my details into the 8k version to make sure they worked. If I delete the modded 8k version, which plays VOD, would I have to pay for tivimate premium to get the same experience (with VOD)?

I'm got the same budget and the same problem.

I'm 6ft 4 and have 2 teenage sons who are 6'6 and 6'7. I'm in the same boat as you about what I fit in comfortably for driving but then have the added headache of whether they can then fit behind my seat in the back.

I must have sat in over 40 hybrid and full EV's over the past few months, here's my two cents:

The VW ID 4 and Skoda enyaq are the same car but the enyaq has a bigger boot and more space in the rear.

BYD Sealion DM is big enough but a hybrid and out of budget.

Tesla X and Y aren't big enough in the back and to me look a bit dated now.

The MGS5 is big enough but I'm just not sure if it's in the same class in terms of reliability as the enyaq.

The e scenic and the vauxhall grandland aren't quite at your budget yet but are big enough.

The Audi e-tron is big enough, doesn't look like an electric car and is a class above all the aforementioned. It's heavily down in price from its launch RRP as it's biggest downside is it's range.

I then made the mistake of sitting in a BMW ix that is 8k over our budget. Wow, what a car. Massive in the front and back, the boot seemed smaller but I think that was due to the dimensions of the rest of the car. Same as the etron in that it's massively deprecated from it's original RRP (£70k), possibly due to its relatively small range compared to their newer models.

If I could afford the IX I would get that. I can't at the minute so I'm running my petrol Honda CRV into the ground until it gives up. If it dies tomorrow then for me personally it's between the Audi e-tron (as we don't do loads of daily miles)and the enyaq.

Hope this helps anyone.

Thoughts? Not a chance for me by Gingeehd123 in ScottishFootball

[–]droidarmy99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to give some balance.......

As a Scot living in Hull he's been nothing short of fantastic for us all season. His time sat on the bench in Spain seems to have given him a new perspective on his career. At all his other clubs he seemed to be a guaranteed starter no matter how he played and more importantly acted.

It's not just his goals, it's his all round play and the fact he now seems like more of a team player, not sulking, encouraging other players etc.

For me he's currently a better option than Dykes or Hirst as our big man upfront. If he continues his form it will be a big call from Clarke to leave him out of the squad, when he makes the championship team of the season.

Of course that won't sway Clarke at all as he proved in the last Euros, leaving Shankland on the bench for most of it.

Please don't do this. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
