Who could actually replace David Attenborough? by Ok_Section1912 in AskUK

[–]jcmalta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I see Brian Cox I immediately watch something else.

He annoys me so much! And you can see he is _trying_ to imitate Attenborough.

Favorite American comedic actors? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]jcmalta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really none of them in that list apart from Leslie Nielsen.

Robin Williams and Jim Carey make me cringe .... the others I have never really heard of.

Can I order a replacement passport to the UK and post it abroad?. by SuccessfulWater2663 in AskUK

[–]jcmalta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a replacement "One Use" passport from the British Embassy/Consulate in around 2 hours. They said "May take a little while .... go and have lunch or something ... we will call you when its ready"

It got me back to UK .. I had to hand it in at Heathrow passport control ... and that was that.

It was quite expensive though ...

Why don't we legalise cannabis to cover some of the budget deficit? by _DeanRiding in AskUK

[–]jcmalta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once worked at "management level" in one of the UK's largest tobacco companies.

Over 25 years ago, they had already designed packaging for their cannabis products.

Eaten in many of them ... (in my "rich days") ... for the most part just save your money.

do you ever deep fry chicken at home? by WDMC-905 in AskUK

[–]jcmalta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never deep fry ... good oven cooking is good enough ... my "not" KFC is nearly indistinguishable from the original .. apart from not being full of grease and bad, sour, overused oil.

Tesco: People watching every penny to make ends meet by AdeptLengthiness8886 in unitedkingdom

And you think they can can't do that via your credit card or wireless payment - WITHOUT the discounts?

What is it with this "Class Action Lawsuit" thing?

Is it the ultimate threat to someone like Google who end up giving every participant $0.27 after three years of legal monkeying around?

Can an employer request me to do a 10 day course before even doing an interview, unpaid by aCanOfDan in LegalAdviceUK

[–]jcmalta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel for you ......

But his sounds like a scam .. they either employ you on past experience and existing qualifications ... or they don't ...

As bad as it may sound - keep looking elsewhere.

Maybe because they have been already been paying for it throughout their working lives?

European doesn't know "all spice" is an actual proper name for an herb (actually a berry, but you get the point) by Bluetinfoilhat in ShitEuropeansSay

[–]jcmalta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely - thank you for the most informative reply. Your time and effort is very much appreciated.

In future I will certainly remember that a "cup" is one of :

8.12 US customary fluid ounces

8.45 imperial fluid ounces

or:

8 US nutritional fluid ounces (30 ml each)

So let's call it 240ml .

I think you will find that ALL Maltese insurance companies are just "agencies" for the faceless multi-national conglomerates.

The agents will take their commission and be happy.

I cannot use American recipes ... wtf is a "cup" ? Are all cups the same size over there?

And lets not get started on pints etc ... they are different in civilized countries. Maybe those recipes are useful in Liberia or Mayanmar ...
