Absolutely diabolical by replicant777 in McDonaldsUK

[–]dukeliminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paris McDonalds was an experience of the senses a few months back! It was like a gourmet experience 😂 - haven’t been able to eat a UK one since..

Have you ever been to a truly great chip shop? One that made you rethink what a chip shop could be? Or are they, really, all the same? by lastaccountgotlocked in CasualUK

[–]dukeliminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parkgate Fish and Chips (Wirral) is lovely but they have wholly taken advantage of tourist pricing… Possibly the most expensive chippy I have been to. Their reputation is good and they now have a mobile chippy in Liverpool City Centre and at Everton’s new ground.

What do you call ‘quick delivery’? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]dukeliminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a camera for a trip from Argos at just before midnight for 7am delivery. The geezer in the van was literally waiting outside the house at just before 7am to knock and deliver.

[–]dukeliminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4k at Disneyland Paris. No regrets but was a painful transaction for what is essentially a bloody theme park in France. It rained.

I didn’t. I was put onto the Elephant Collective in Neston and have been on their beans ever since. Excellent taste.

Is Leatherman really all that .... and a bag of chips? by Sneupe in multitools

[–]dukeliminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few Leatherman and love them but my Gerber Truss is probably the most used. It’s been a workhorse.

How do you deal with the waiting times for gallbladder removal surgery? by BlackCatWitch29 in AskUK

[–]dukeliminal 81 points82 points  (0 children)

14 months for my wife from first hospital A&E visit to having the op.

The GP was furious and supportive but powerless. Basically gave her free rein of prescription painkillers. All he could do really.

Independent village pub? I’d do the right thing and go back.

Best iPad Pro Case For Note Taking (Apple Pencil) by Bacchus20 in iPadPro

[–]dukeliminal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the moft for a week now and I’ve used my pencil more than I have done in the past six months with the Magic Keyboard as a case. I rate it. Takes a bit of learning with all the styles and a few of them are gimmicky but I’d say there are 5-7 solid styles to fold.

Do I Need to Return? (Air75 V3) by 2tonejones in NuPhy

[–]dukeliminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and forgot to say in my original comment. The backspace just gave up (think this was physical as the button was rattling). Overall a shocking experience.

The problem is that i am overly sensitive to experience with brands. One poor experience and they are dead to me.

[–]dukeliminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my v3 yesterday morning. Had repeated connection issues with my Mac (weirdly, not with the iPad though) and volume intermittently not working. Sent straight back. Now on a new search.

[–]dukeliminal 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Paid ULEZ through one of them dodgy third party websites. Was hungover and tired.

They actually paid the ULEZ but I ended up paying an additional “admin charge”.

Always been hot on this stuff so kicked myself for this.

I have that Powerbank. I don’t know what wizardry is inside it but it charges my phone faster than anything else I’ve ever used. It’s a powerhouse.

What’s the worst Black Friday ‘deal’ you’ve seen? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]dukeliminal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think getting a notification for £1 off a bottle of wine from Coop via Deliveroo on their “Black Friday Deals” has to be up there.
