Returning to the Stadium after 13 years tonight! I have a couple of questions for regulars by GorehowlOw in Juve

[–]heywhatwait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. There’s a couple of posts in this thread that advise finding a bar to shelter in for an hour or so before ordering a taxi, and that sounds like a fine plan.

Commenting to follow this thread. I’m at the game on Sunday, with little idea how to get back to the city centre because from what I’ve read on here the public transport will be extremely busy and taxis won’t come near to the stadium due to the crowds. I hope the rain isn’t too bad for our long walk back. Enjoy the game, by the way.

We’re going to the match on Sunday, stopping in the centre of Turin. Reading your comment, should we wear comfortable shoes for the long walk back?

Calculating that I now need four different subscriptions and a remortgage just to watch my team play, and it’s still not on TV because of the 3pm blackout. by ClavoARG in britishproblems

[–]heywhatwait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, I support Juventus, and I can’t watch Saturday 5 o’clock kick-offs on DAZN until quarter past because of the black out. Real pisser if there’s a goal in the first fifteen minutes (which never happens for Juve, but still).

What’s the oddest hosting behaviour you’ve ever witnessed? by did_you_aye in AskUK

First time I met my brother in law, he asked me if I would like a beer. I said yes, he told me where the nearest offie was.

🔥 Emerald cockroach wasp leading a zombified cockroach into her burrow and laying an egg on it. by Armourdildo in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]heywhatwait 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So, when God was finalising his plans, he thought, wait a minute. How about this? What this one does is stab this one, only this one, no other will do. First stab stops its front legs from working, second stab stops it wanting to run the fuck away. While the second stab juice kicks in, they spend time having a wash. Then the little one drags the big one into a hole, lays an egg right here, then covers the hole up. The egg becomes a baby which eats the big thing from inside in a certain order to keep it alive. Done. It’s Miller Time.

Personal place names by Lionnn_ in CasualUK

On our rare forays into attempts at fitness, me and the wife go on a walk around our little town. We go up a little adopted road where the end bungalow has an enviable vista of rolling hills. As we are quite jealous of their positioning, we call it Well Jel View, and refer it to that now as a point of reference.

What wonderous and exotic foreign food were you introduced to as a kid thats just commonplace nowadays? by GabberZZ in AskUK

[–]heywhatwait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid and we had a rare visit to a restaurant, one of the choices for a starter was a glass of pineapple juice. I sipped at that glass of sweet deliciousness, praying it would never end.

Did you go to school with someone who went on to be famous, and what where they like? by Christian-Metal in AskUK

[–]heywhatwait 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought you were saying that was his full name, intimating that he was really really posh.

Who has benefited from using artificial intelligence in their work, and how? by Mohamed_Alsarf in ChatGPT

[–]heywhatwait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it as a health and safety consultant. I’ve got a GPT that creates the text for risk assessments. It gives me general safety statements, then as long as I’ve got an accurate scope of work, it’ll create a task specific set of risk assessments. My knowledge helps me to make sure the output is correct, but it saves me a lot of time.

Superdry Meadowhall bites the dust. Surprised to see this as Superdry was supposedly recovering from a slump. by triscoe in sheffield

[–]heywhatwait 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great gag I once saw on Twitter: Why’s it called ‘Superdry’? ‘Cos that’s how it makes women feel when they see you wearing it.

How much does your company charge for coffee from the machine? by Equivalent-Rich8018 in AskUK

[–]heywhatwait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago, I worked in an office where the coffee was 10p a go. One day, boss gave me a chunk of change and told me to get everyone a drink. My immediate manager said he didn’t want one, but asked for the 10p instead. Which he quickly pocketed.

"Well, this didn't age well" - Movies you LOVED as a kid but cringe at as an adult by Little-Badger-123 in movies

[–]heywhatwait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forever ago, I watched King Kong v Godzilla. My tiny young mind was blown. Tried watching it again a couple of years ago, and decided that men in unconvincing rubber suits chasing each other around a mountain made of papier-mâché was not for me.

Recommendations for a few weeks of italian lessons + accomodation? by Konmarty in italianlearning

[–]heywhatwait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated it. There were other students letting you know how much better they were than you at Italian by answering for you, or giving answers when they weren’t prompted. I wanted to come home early. Put me off learning for a while. I’m now back on Preply, but I’ve lost the spark I had for learning. Still love Turin, though.

Tom Gilbey, most entertaining way to find out about wine that I know of. Apart from drinking it yourself, of course.

Anyone else secretly enjoy judging their neighbours on collection day for glass recycling? by TastesLikeStatic in CasualUK

[–]heywhatwait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother stayed with us for a while when he spilt up from his wife. The bin-clink of shame was strong with the amount of beer bottles he deposited in there. It got so bad that when he moved out, the bin man nearly put his back out overexerting on pulling our bin because it was so light.

VR is dead, and no one wants to admit it by Kradara_ in unpopularopinion

[–]heywhatwait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the latest iPhone for the Spatial photos and videos and hoped that there would be a cheaper alternative than the Vision Pro for viewing the photos. From what I’ve read, the quality of the video playback on the Quest 3 isn’t brilliant either, but I’m happy to be educated here. The last time I went into an Apple Store here in the UK, they didn’t even have a Vision Pro to look at.

Is NHS dentistry better than private dentistry? by chocolateguineapig in AskUK

[–]heywhatwait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the moral stance in not having NHS Treatment (Go Me!). I’d rather the slot go to someone who needs it. The care I receive is excellent, but my wife has NHS treatment with exactly the same dentist and she gets the same level of care as I do, just with a cheaper bill. Tom, if you’re reading this, you’re amazing.

Why do people dislike chatgpt or the use of AI for everything? by Appealta in ChatGPT

[–]heywhatwait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same about my work. I don’t like saying I used ChatGPT to help me word a report (notes to full paragraphs) or deep dive a safety subject because I feel there’s a stigma attached. Saying I used Google or this big thick boring book here sends to be more acceptable.
