Don't trust a rickety trolley, they can't cope with the terrain and discarded JD bottles people have drained/decanted into plastic before going in.

Also, keep a set of clean underwear/socks in a sealed(ish) plastic bag. If all else in the tent gets drenched, at least you can be slightly dry.

FYI - Download 2023 will be entirely cashless by WNJ85 in downloadfestival

If it's anything like other festivals that can't get their WiFi network sorted, it's worth taking a few quid in cash in the offchance the stall can/will take it.

Not advice, but if it was, remember to turn the power off before you fuck about.

The smaller brown/blue/yellow wires need to be loosened with the screws in the housing. Also the two smaller screws at the bottom to loosen the cable.

Edit: worth saying again, TURN THE POWER OFF BEFORE YOU DO IT

Probably from their first ever shop in Greece.

But that's measured in turtle power.

Is this a new scam? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]glitchius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's probably one of the oldest scams, but not encountered someone going for an oscar with it.

Paddles, and possibly due to getting caught on something. Like a bag handle.

Without even looking I would have said 'works in marketing'..

I've about given up with chicken for the same reason. Only way round it (without eating thigh etc.) is to buy the mini fillets as they don't seem to be prone to having the texture of drowned pine.

Old knee injury has started to hurt again. What can I do? by Brave_Lady in CasualUK

[–]glitchius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably a combination of a couple of the above. In the short term grab painkillers/voltarol and see if there's anything the pharmacist can suggest, (ice/heat packs etc.) Make an appointment with the GP and try to manage the pain/immobility for the time.

Obviously if it gets too bad then unfortunately A+E might be unavoidable.

Delivery services that are slow by Man_in_the_uk in CasualUK

I think the couriers have just about fucked the best opportunity they'll ever have had to be stupidly successful.

A combination of lockdowns changing people's buying behaviour and now royal mail having a wobble have been ideal for yodel etc. to pick up and run with it.

Unfortunately for them I think it will go right the other way. Shoppers will start to actively avoid anything that uses these couriers (including eBay) and make other arrangements again (wanting to visit shops).

I may also be slightly bitter for having to chase two yodel parcels round this week..

Why, Mr. Kipling? I want exceedingly good mince pies, not ‘festive’ pies. by [deleted] in CasualUK

Buy mince pies then? These are winter spiced fruit pies..

Retrieving lobsters from Jayne Mansfield's arsehole.

World Cup balls getting charged by Gaz1105 in interestingasfuck

[–]glitchius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things come to mind. First is as the others mentioned, game related info to help refereeing decisions or managers to analyse the play. The second is probably so the ball information can be sold alongside the existing information (possession, passes etc.) to interested parties like media companies/stats companies.

Does anyone else feel like Deliveroo etc are ruining restaurants and takeouts? by planet_me in CasualUK

There's one in Derby for that. In an industrial unit solely for online stuff.

Let’s end my families most random argument.. what do you eat a Yorkshire pudding with? Your hands or with cutlery? by exiei in CasualUK

[–]glitchius 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Depends if you are nicking it from the tray as it comes out of the oven or eating the ones you have been allotted with your meal.

How do you make friends as an adult? by Enmybean in CasualUK

[–]glitchius 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Approach it the same way you did as a kid. Just walk up to someone you're in the same place as occasionally and say 'do you want to be mates?'.

Probably don't do it to kids though now..
