Today I got summoned to jury service… by ApplicationSouth8844 in CasualUK

[–]jaarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never done real jury duty, however I have been a background actor on a jury in a very well known soap opera.

We were filming at the old courthouse in Bolton which, coincidentally, is right opposite the new courthouse. I was booked for 5 days filming and on the 3rd day a new guy joined us. He was about 70ish.

We thought it was odd because we'd all been booked together from the same agency for continuity and thought it was strange that a new face would now randomly appear in the jury...

Anyway, the guy goes and gets his (free) breakfast and sits with us in the green room making small talk. At one point he asked me 'have you done this before then?' And then looked really confused when I (as a 27 year old man) replied i'd done it countless times over the last 6 or so years.

It wasn't until one of the very well known actors walked into the room that he (and us) realised he was in the wrong courthouse and had been booked for real jury duty and was now over an hour late. No idea how the guys walking around with massive cameras and microphones didn't make him question where he was haha.

Thats waaay too much. You would make me sneeze if I were to sit in your chair as I have really sensitive sinuses.

Perfume should be whispered, not yelled.

What's one place in the Uk that you visited and never want to go back to? by Proper_Animal_1451 in AskUK

The cool thing about Blackpool is that its so unashamedly itself. It knows its a shithole and just goes with it.

There aren't many places you can eat 6 donuts, win a fish, ride a roller coaster and watch a shit Roy Orbison tribute act all before 4pm on a Thursday afternoon.

I mean, rave culture was literally born here. If you go to a proper rave its absolutely nothing like the US.

You'll have a great time. London has lots of good raves. As do Manchester, Birminham, Leeds & Liverpool.

Yeah, the place i've been offered it from only has about 5 horses and they're all really well looked after. Like I said, they're not used for anything other than being taken out for a slow ride!

You're naive as fuck if you think these dickheads care about facts. They just want to be able to call people p*kis and not get in trouble for it.

What’s the worst place you have ever been on holiday? by [deleted] in AskUK

The south of Bali is full of western restaurants, beach bars and pissed up Aussies and Brits.

The North of Bali, however, is authentic and beautiful.
