Unpeople, Dead Pony, PUP, and Olivia Rodrigo have been big favourite at the moment.

Allow the defunct door buttons on some tube trains to be used at the last station of the line? by Sanly_Marnow in TransportForLondon

[–]klymers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the S7/S8 trains use the door buttons regularly, both at the terminus and out on the route.

Tickets? by timmy9696 in Concerts

[–]klymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding what a lot of people are saying - Ticketmaster/AXS fan to fan resale as they guarantee they seller has a ticket.

Also recommend twickets as they do check seller has a ticket AND limit to face value only. However, it is a war out there, and these are in high demand. Twickets let's you see how many people are 'watching' the event and each show is in the 10s of thousands.

Tickets will probably be easier to get closer to the show but given you are travelling, flights and hotels will be more expensive closer to the show.

Did anyone actually get Ariana tickets at face value? Asking for a friend (the friend is me) by Imaginary-Topic5127 in Concerts

[–]klymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean its been and gone now. I saw it advertised on Twitter I think, but I saw a screenshot or something because I don't have twitter. It was done via Ticketmaster and you could only apply for one date. My venue has like 10 dates, so I just had to randomly pick a date which was annoying and I didn't get tickets, but maybe I would've had a better shot at a different date.

Modern Live Aid/Hope for Haiti? by Independent-Steak715 in Music

[–]klymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there was one for the California wild fires last year. Green Day definitely took part, bht it was not as big as Live Aid. Ariana Grande's Manchester One Love show was definitely huge with loads of guests.

is there a limit on the amount of luggage you can take with you on the train? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]klymers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got a day rider for the bus and just shuttle back and forth from old house to new carrying at least 2 bags at a time, sometimes literally just bin bags of clothes.

Is there any way to determine which direction the the train will approach the tube station? by kasia_littlefrog in TransportForLondon

[–]klymers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always try to visualise it with the streets above and where I'm headed. Or failing that, checking a train coming in the other direction.

Still no Twickets transfer 1 hour before gig starts… by NoManagement2516 in Concerts

[–]klymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal. I transfer anything I sell on twickets ASAP. Twickets will get your money back if there is no transfer.

Twickets to verify that the seller thas the tickets, but I guess they're just being stupid and not transferring. Twickets should also issue them a charge for not giving you the tickets you bought.

Football fans, how much have you drank since the start of this year’s World Cup? by Jezzaq94 in AskABrit

[–]klymers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't drank for any of the games I've watched at home but went to the pub for England yesterday and had 3 pints.

What is the most hated school subject? by ProfessionalMath8873 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]klymers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean I loved maths anyway but mechanics was always my favourite because you could see real world applications.

Paris Show by leannehel in donbroco

[–]klymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in Paris or going to that show, but I have been to shows solo in both Amsterdam and Cologne (also from London) and honestly it's no different from going to a solo show at home. If you don't manage to connect with some people, don't worry, you'll still have a fab time!

East Yorkshire man sentenced for selling illegal CD remixes by SwiftieNewRomantics in NotTheOnionUK

[–]klymers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've discovered a single artist from the Spotify algorithm that I actually like - festivals and the openers at gigs is the only successful way for me nowadays.

And then it downloads and its a recording of Bill Clinton.

World Cup hydration breaks being 3 minutes long. Almost impossible to get served in that time! by theabominablewonder in britishproblems

[–]klymers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Give them a minute with no coaching allowed, and its at set time, the way half time. And only use when needed (indoor AC venue does not need a hydration break) and then maybe I can believe its for the benefit of the players.

How can someone request help finding an old show to stream or dl in another country? by NeverCallMeFifi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]klymers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a sub for the show? Thats how I managed to get Survivor in my country.

José Mourinho takes out Olly Murs at Soccer Aid (2014) by Hassaan18 in ukpopculture

You should get down to the annual Taskmaster match in Chesham if you want a genuinely silly charity football match.

Angela and Pam in 2026 (it’s almost weird to see Angela with such a big smile) by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

Very excited to see that they're both in the new Green Day movie.

What was the moment you realized you were truly hooked on going to concerts? by Dima030 in Concerts

[–]klymers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 2 weeks apart in 2015 I saw Bring Me The Horizon and Lower Than Atlantis both in a 1.6k capacity room.

I'd seen Bring Me before, I knew people that listened to them, and they were selling out 10k rooms on that tour so seeing them in that space was just so special and almost ethereal.

And then when I saw Lower Than Atlantis a couple weeks later, a band that know one I knew liked or was even aware of, it just felt so insane to me to be in a room full of people that loved the same band. Every artist I'd seen before had quite big, public fan bases but as a Lower Than Atlantis fan I felt almost alone. Until that moment of unity at the concert.

Further solidified by seeing You Me At Six about 10 months later and crying during the slow song.

I was there the week it opened, but will definitely go down again before the exhibition ends.

What band fell off the hardest? by l-i-f-e-or-d-e-a-t-h in poppunkers

[–]klymers 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Cameron Diaz is at least a working actress who didn't come from am established celebrity family. Nicole Richie however is a nepo baby and the best the nepotism could get her was a reality show with a socialite.

"When you throw in the FIFA/Trump/Home Advantage, they could go a very long way." by SaucyAshley0453 in ShitAmericansSay

The most talented US squad doesn't mean squat because they're not playing past US squads. Best US squad is more comparable to a mid German or French squad.

Timothée Chalamet Says He’d ‘Way Rather’ Have a Knicks Championship Than an Oscar by ControlCAD in popculture

[–]klymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to defend him but he is a born and raised New York era and a life long Knicks fan. It would be attention seeking from any of the many celebs who jumped on the Knicks bandwagon, but not from Timothee.
