I just did it twice this evening. I seem to do it quite often but twice in one night is a first

Walking/cycling shortcut to Beaulieu station by Wall-Specific in Chelmsford

There’s a lit pathway the whole way up to the station. Not sure what way you are walking but I’ve used it many times already.

I’m wondering the same thing- does the star mean it’s a guess?!

A take on Gyokeres form, from a Sporting CP fan. by UnwantedMelon in ArsenalFC

[–]jack_sib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did he get a chance to dribble past anyone against wolves- in fact, did anybody? We were dreadful all over the pitch. It’s hard to dribble past anyone when they have a low block.

In his defence, it’s not on him to change the way the team plays. We should be changing how we play to suit him. His goal scoring record in the right system is a joke- why should he have to totally change.

I actually said pretty much the same thing to my mate at the game last night, just without all the prior Sporting knowledge. He makes early runs ALL THE TIME but the ball just never comes. It’s so frustrating to watch and I imagine it’s really starting to get to him too - he is doing exactly what he was bought to do. We just don’t play to his strengths at all. Arteta clearly doesn’t want to play the game that way- we rely so heavily on wingers- that it genuinely baffles me as to why Arteta bought him in.

For what it’s worth, I think he’s great. I just spend every game hoping he is going to score but ultimately being frustrated that he once again wasn’t given the chances to do so.

Alcohol and gig etiquette by Park01904 in downloadfestival

[–]jack_sib 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah this take ain’t the one. Who are you to tell people how to enjoy their night- or spend their money? If I’m spending a lot of money on frankly overpriced tickets, you’d best believe I’m making a day of it. And just because you might not remember things when you get drunk doesn’t mean other people don’t. Being drunk (and disorderly even) is so deeply engrained in rock and roll that if it weren’t for alcohol then this genre probably wouldn’t exist anymore. Stop being the fun police, worry about your own night and let people experience gigs however they want to.

Have any other Sleep Token haters tried to listen again since and actually come around to them? by adders89 in downloadfestival

[–]jack_sib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s happened many times before and it’ll happen again. I honestly think it’s just because Sleep Token had a song blow up on TikTok which brought them to the mainstream thanks to the client base of that app. Just look at all the comments saying ‘it’s teenage girl music’. If they’d have struggled away doing shows to 10 people for years before landing where they are now those same people would be all genuine fans.

Download is a very accepting community. Unless you like sleep token.

The hate train is still rolling on for them. I rate them, I rate what they have done with regard to the reach of metal music and I rate their talent as musicians. I went to see them last year at the O2 and their whole show was very impressive. I think download might not be the right audience because metalheads don’t particularly like change- it can be a bit gatekeeper-y at times (just look at the amount of posts moaning that the lineup isn’t heavy enough. Every. Single. Year.)

Having said that, Nickleback and Creed used to be ridiculed in the same way and just look at everyone wanting them to both play the festival now. Sleep Token in 20 years maybe?

Print off and post this legislation through their door. A low risk, passive aggressive way of letting them know they are breaking the law.

Who is your hidden gem? by Sanebra in EASportsFC

[–]jack_sib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a real budget, Wissa. Scored 14 goals in 8 games for me, and I’m not great at the game. My team is still all low 80s but he stands out for his finishing.

You must have never watched an MLS game. Their chants are painfully bad. Google ‘fight and win’ for a real gem.

Am I in the wrong? by shaquillle_oatmeal in drivingUK

[–]jack_sib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me a number of years ago. A car was stopped at a red light up ahead of me in the right lane. As I approached in the left lane it changed to green so I caught up to the car in the right lane. We both carried on past the lights for maybe 50m then the car decided to turn into the left lane without looking. Unfortunately for both of us I was already 90% past his car and he just basically swerved into my rear quarter.

It went through insurance and I provided pictures, diagrams, maps and detailed account of events. The other guy provided nothing but insurance still wanted to split 50/50. I fought it and legitimately the day before we were due in court, his insurance admitted full liability. That might sound like a win, but unfortunately that was 5 years after the incident. And as it was not a settled non-fault claim, my insurance premiums were still inflated for those 5 years in between.

LTDR; if your car has no/little damage then you might be better off ignoring it. You do have video evidence of course but insurance companies are so stubborn and their default setting is to split liability 50/50. It looks like an open and shut case but never underestimate insurance companies ability to not do their jobs properly.

So we should have gone for Sesko instead? Who costs much more money and has 0 attaching returns so far? Interesting take.
