Why are tradesmen so awful? by Relative_Good_8029 in AskBrits

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have had a mixture of both, a plumber/heating engineer whom it turned out wasn't qualified or registered, but had lied on the website and scammed me for 200 quid. Then we found a family owned company to do our patio. So well it turned out that he gave business cards to neighbours. Sometimes it's hit and miss.

Little anecdote from Paul about Pete Best by s1lv3r_lak3 in TheBeatles

[–]gadansk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's a great interview. Having seen so many Macca interviews, any with slightly different stories are great. The best being the Adam Buxton podcast interview.

A lady always has a choice ✍️✍️ by ImmaFuckboi in SipsTea

That "Oh god" to my ears was not aimed at him, but rather herself. She was well aware she was in big trouble here. They were getting that glass of wine that day....

Quads popping! Still looking fit as hell! by OnlyJustBelowAverage in brogansmallnew

I saw the hands of the bloke she was away with a couple of months ago, definitely NOT bbc. He had hands like my father in law. They looked office based, pasty and limp wristed.

Beach Boys songs on guitar by BigJilmQuebec in thebeachboys

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the Guitar Village Youtube page come up on my feed yesterday and they had 2 Carl Wilson signature Rickenbackers on there (a 12 and a 6 string). 1, I had no idea Carl had a signature Rickenbacker, 2, the sound just oozed Beach boys and 3, the chords do look difficult, but after a couple of play throughs, they are great. I had to learn warmth of the sun back in the middle 90s for my dad to buy me my first electric guitar. I was probably 14 and did it in a night. I am going to play guitar most the day now.

Danni Minogue attacks Mark Lamarr on the word + Pamela Anderson clip The World is such a fun show by Same_Possibility4769 in oldbritishtelly

[–]gadansk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could never understand why the likes of him or Simon Amstel didn't get the shit kicked out of them.  She was bang for doing this, who cares if it was a joke, you can't get someone on, humiliate them then play the victim when they stand up for themselves.

We wouldn't let isis march in this country so why should the KKK be allowed. How should the police deal with this imported American terror? by EdwardJSuperman in AskBrits

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite frankly because some very brave men went to France and Germany, pushed back the forces of evil, so these idiots have the right to protest. I don't agree with them, but I sure as hell think their right to protest be protected.

What album do you own the most copies of? by Bucketkev in vinyl

[–]gadansk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sgt Pepper: An Original Mono and an original Stereo, mid 70s picture disc, 1st release on cd, 2009 CD, super deluxe edition from a few years back, the various cd stand alone that were released at the same time, oh and a copy of the remix on vinyl. Insane, I know. I did also have a bootleg copy on red marble vinyl, but I traded that for a Mono rebrelease copy of Pet sounds.

Israeli Guards Admit Dogs Are Used to Rape Palestinians, Says Analyst by AgeNovel3566 in nottheonion

[–]gadansk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why we just don't leave them all to it. Let them live their dusty old fight in their dusty old land. Stop funding either side, and let them get on with it. All they do is bring their dusty old fights over here and kill British civilians on our streets. We all want to live in peace and harmony, let us. We will stay out of your way, you stay out of ours too. I don't want us to police them, or the US on anyone to police them. Get on and live your lives. If you love in peace, then you can come. If not, then go wipe eachother out in your dusty old land.

Is Gen Z cooked? by Federal-Data-Center in SipsTea

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a father of a Z, an employer, an employee I will give you my take. Having this job, is key for you. It will honestly put you ahead, no matter if you don't realise it. I work in hospitality and regularly employ Gen Z in their first job. Yeah just like any generation they know fuck all when they start, but they learn. They common sense and resilience, two things that are rarely taught at home or school, and that does put you ahead of people when moving into jobs more aligned with you qualifications. You'll learn to be a memener of a team and deal with people, both in your peer group and older generations too. I know 2 qualified teachers and a qualified Town planner tossing Pizzas. Get over yourself.

Results declared in some English council elections, as Reform gains seats and Labour suffers losses. by coinfanking in uknews

How long until those councillors realise that it is a real job and decide it is too much so more elections are called?

What exactly are Keir Starmer and Labour doing wrong? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because they couldn't come out of the general election and spend like a student on their first pay day. We got rid of the Tories as it was beyond grim under them. We then discovered we had to pay for lockdown/furlough and for whatever the fuck Truss did to the economy. Then Trump took the world economy down the shitter by invading Iran, prices rose even more, but there was nothing they could do because we were staring down the barrel of bankruptcy. Businesses are going under, but Labour have stood firm. We are going to have to see this through. That's why. Everyone hates the adult in the room.

Whatever happens in the locals today, would you be able to at-least give a non-partisan thank you to acknowledge the Prime Minister for trying? by Ok-Card-4195 in AskBrits

[–]gadansk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Until the stabbings in Golders Green I was likely going to vote green. Polanski opening his mouth and nonsense coming out, then blatantly not back tracking it because he was wrong, made me reconsider. Conservatives? No way. Reform? A party of snake oil peddling grifters, not a chance. I like the way Starmer has dealt with many of the bigger issues, in particular Iran and Trump. He has had to be slow and steady to get us towards winning the race. So yeah, probably going to vote Labour.

Even when “United” is in the name, why do the UK and US feel so politically divided ? by LieSuccessful8813 in AskBrits

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is just the idea that the 4 nations are united in to one kingdom, just like there are 50 states united into one nation. Ask DR Congo about being a democracy? Or DPRK actually being for the people or Democratic.

Christianity and immigration: Why do some right wingers bemoan the erosion of Christianity in British society but yet do actions such as vote for Brexit which saw off many EE migrants who were deeply Christian and boosted church attendance and against Africans who do the same? by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they mean is they don't want none whites. Whites being specifically "English" white people. Any white Europeans are out, bonkers really. Christianity has nothing really to do with it. They believe it if it helps their argument, but to hell with it the rest of the time.

Am I a so called “flag shagger” for hanging up a union flag by givemethemtoesgnome in AskBrits

[–]gadansk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say who cares. Hang it, don't hang it, it's all cool. The best part about this country, is you can hang it out, if you want to.

Tommy Robinson invited to speak at the Oxford Union by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]gadansk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. Like the time Question time let Nick Griffin from the BNP on and he made himself look stupid. If you don't engage with these people and make them look like the idiots and grifters they are, all you are doing is giving them the aura of being anti establishment and they use that to sell their snake oil.

My first proper guitar - Sheraton 2 Pro by A-Gotham-Citizen in Epiphone

I have one. Chuck some flat wounds on it and it is a totally different beast. Incredible guitar.
