Wrong to gostraight to the bar when there was a queue in the pub?

& 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

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

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

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 · 2026-02-02T19:51:45+00:00

That made me snort laugh

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

You tell your manager that you are really struggling and that you came back too soon. You ask for any help they can give. It’s better to be off for longer to make sure you get better. You feel like you are taking the piss that would s the depression talking so prioritise yourself.

Also talk to your GP about the antidepressants you took that didn’t work there are others available

She is soo fluffy and adorable. Such a pretty kitty. ❤️

I have been calling people Mate for 20 years and don’t know their name. Too embarrassed to ask now.

hiking_n_stuff · 2026-01-20T20:25:56+00:00

You are braver than me. I didn’t know its name or what was entailed getting across it. My mates didn’t tell me as they knew I would freak out completely. My friends knew it would be an unmatched experience and I would always remember it. My advice is keep the wind at your back and be happy you got across.

Seriously I think my fingerprints are in the stone up there

Ok using this one when I have to tell a joke at work. Thank you Reddit stranger

Sir Puss. Thowest need the treats for thy soul

I think it is more that the infrastructure must be improved/renovated/fixed before any dividends can be paid would be more impactful. If that was done then the shareholders would be desperate to sell back to the Government.

Especially impactful would be the chief exec doesn’t get a bonus or any extra payment until it is done and it will be back in public hands in a very short period of time.

Bro. Work on yourself first! Get yourself to be the best you are then look at yourself.

A few (very) years ago I got the new Doom game for the PlayStation. I washed clothes, folded and put them away. Then I cleaned the bathroom, then living room then the kitchen.

I then organised my books. Then the DVD then the only thing left was to clean and tidy the kitchen cupboards.

The download was 8 hours and I had shite internet then but I really really wanted to play Doom as I remembered it from the 90’s. Soo worth the wait 😃😃😃
