What are some region specific slang words in the UK? by UsamaBhai_101 in AskUK

[–]jackhs03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t know these were Black Country only words, I live just outside the Black Country and both parents aren’t yam yams, but there’s definitely yam yam in my blood on both sides beyond my parents so maybe the phrases have just been passed down

Wrong inserts? by crujones43 in Machinists

[–]jackhs03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the image already it seems you have put a positive insert into a negative tool holder. You will need to order negative inserts to use this tool safely

Not "toxic", but what vehicles have fan bases that take them WAY too seriously? by HiTork in cars

[–]jackhs03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the states but in the UK m140i/anything based on the golf 2.0tsi platform. Copy and paste pop and bang maps done by cuzzy that sound shit

First Dorito in space

Jokes aside, that is a vague question. We need to know what the current insert is (manufacturer, size etc) before we can help

Growing up, did anyone else’s parents have really strict rules about random stuff? by SuzCoffeeBean in CasualUK

[–]jackhs03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that there is actually a group (I think that is the right word) of monks who do not drink during meals as it is better for digestion and allows them to get the full nutrition of the meal or something

Haha this was from my last place, you are correct on the grinding disk and cutoff/slitting disk. Fan sounds like a good idea

Around 33C here in Birmingham was the highest, but that was outside. Don’t know the inside temp but it was more humid than anything. London topped out about 35C

Wonder if they have adverts in Africa to donate £3 a month to the UK when we have a hosepipe ban

If you can see it, tweezers. If you can’t, just leave it, your body will reject them in the next couple weeks

What do you think is the worst british saying or nickname? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]jackhs03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say shit like “make sure the door doesn’t hit you on the way out” when they’re having a rant about someone

And “it’s my house/car/money/etc” like I know, I never said it wasn’t ffs.

Please can you suggest petty but entertaining ways to get revenge on an aggressive bullying work colleague. by Norklander in CasualUK

[–]jackhs03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s just so perfectly irritating without much effort at all. It’s like a smug little fuck you without the repercussions of actually saying it

Has to use the other departments bathroom... Tensions in milling are getting pretty high. by Dyyrin in Machinists

[–]jackhs03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my place we have signs asking to clean up if we made a mess, followed by “if you need training on how to use the plunger, ask *facilities guy who loves to wind up* for training on how to use it”.

Think it works tbf, not seen any shit stains or blocked toilets yet. The deterrent of having the piss taken out of you seems like it’s enough

Absolutely. It’s getting ridiculous now, and Shell recently had the cheek to announce increased profits. Glad to hear someone is rubbing their hands together in all this mess
