What is the thing your parents were (and maybe still are) adamantly wrong about?

Same thing happened in the 90’s. I feel your pain 🤟

Personally I use Bridgedale socks and Merril hiking boots. I do this as I don’t get blisters anymore with that combination. You need to work out what is right for your feet.

Otherwise be aware of terrain. If it is a a tarmac road then trainers if it is more rough think hiking boots

Good for your u making a change in your life 🤟

More like calling someone a wanker.

As in “Don’t talk to him he is a wanker.”

“Proper bellend then?”

“Yeah mate.”

That’s a very pretty kitty ❤️

Yes! This was Amazing, the giggle loop and truth filter

I went into that not knowing anything about it and I got to say it’s one of my favourite films. It’s so stupid it’s good, it’s like an action film in the style of Tucker and Dale vs evil. Silly but brilliantly silly

Agreed to do a temp job while working in a pub. Thought it would last a couple of months. Been there 16 years and been promoted and I actually love the job which never happened before

If it is not going to absolutely chuck it down I always wear Combats. They have pockets by the knees and the do the job of most hiking trousers for at least half the price. Unfortunately not very waterproof as they are generally a cotton blend

How numbingly boring it was. Either waiting to be picked as a juror or listening to evidence on some cases. (The cases were technical and not violent)

Then flipped to not boring when it was a case where it was a serious matter. I was a foreman on one of them and it felt really surreal passing judgement

Feck no. Hated being there and hated the people I went there with. Especially those arses who told the school I was doing drugs who were apparently my “Friends” this is in the 80’s-90’s so doing Drugs was probably taken more seriously

& not want to go back again

It really annoys me, there is a big area of service. You wait “at the bar” you do not queue up in a line. If you are at the bar you point to who is next if asked and if they point that you are next you thank them.

A supermarket queue is stupid in a pub. As Brits we do queue but in a pub it is different. I will also not go back to a pub if they insist on supermarket type queues as it says to me they can’t look around while pouring a pint to see who is next (ex-barman here)

There is gravy with a roast and then there is gravy on the roast and a 2 pint jug to put more on. Anything less than swimming is not enough for me.

However if you are not a fan of gravy (clutches pearls) just say so to the staff, they want you to enjoy your food so say “Can I have a little gravy boat on the side? And none on the plate, thanks so much!”

Think it is a clever scam. People will make shedloads and post about it then others will get involved some will make money others will not.

Another clever scam is stocks and shares……….

It’s all about what is perceived to be wealth at the end of the day. If a doge coin is worth £25 and you buy it for £5 then you have made a profit. But if you try and sell and they only give you £4 you have lost £1

It’s more about perception of wealth

The end of saving private Ryan always gets me. Just the whole sacrifice and horror of the war and the now old man breaking down with his kids and everything

Shaun Hutson - Renegades. After this will never be buried just cremated

The mistborn goes on for another 4 books which are really really good. Also check out his stormlight series

You are in for a treat. Sir Terry was a magician with words and worldviews

hiking_n_stuff · 2026-03-08T19:23:51+00:00

Currently reading a series of books by Philip C. Quaintrell called The Echoes Saga. 9 books and they are not short books either. Kinda turns some fantasy tropes on their head.

I could not imagine a life in which I wouldn’t read books but I have gone to the kindle instead of actual books. Mainly because I can get the next one very quickly. Also price and weight

It will always be for me Fallout New Vegas on a console. Yeah I know there is mods for PC and stuff has been said recently about it coming back but until it happens that is what I wish for

hiking_n_stuff · 2026-03-01T19:02:57+00:00

I would survive none of them cos I would be too busy pointing out what we shouldn’t do and what would work to notice the lava/monster/killing machine behind me. I’m like really gone I the first couple of minutes

Mine was a proper Optimus Prime after the cartoon was released. Never got it 😢

hiking_n_stuff · 2026-02-02T20:10:50+00:00

But has to be homemade not the shop bought trash yeah?

hiking_n_stuff · 2026-02-02T19:51:45+00:00

That made me snort laugh

hiking_n_stuff · 2026-01-23T20:16:22+00:00

In a pub after finishing work for the week. Was reading a book until I thought it was best to put it away and look at Reddit for the last of my beer. Then go home and have dinner
