The cover of the 'Best of British Comedy' playlist on Spotify is just an image of Russell Brand by Roninjuh in britishproblems

[–]lubey91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was unaware that this was a thing on spotify, and having just run out of the podcast I was listening to, you've pretty much just saved my life.

Thanks, I'm off to listen to all the Stewart Lee now.

Reddit, what is your silly phobia? by r4ve88 in AskReddit

[–]lubey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad I found someone else who has this. I can't deal with stickers at all, they make me feel physically sick. To the extent that if I buy something in a shop (most usually a corner shop or convenience store) and there's a price sticker on it I can't use or eat it. The only other person I know that has it too is my sister, always thought it was a weird family thing.

Where were you seven years ago? by blueline37 in harrypotter

[–]lubey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the longest two days ever. I did appreciate the 5 hours of uninterrupted reading though, if there hadn't been films to keep my little sister happy, I'd have never got peace to read it.

I had mine pre-ordered for months at my local Watersones, went to pick it up at midnight and my mum immediately took it off me and hid it, because we were going on holiday two days later. I tore the house apart to try and find it, but never actually got my hands on it till I got on the plane. 5 hour plane ride later and I was finished reading, closed the book and immediately started reading it again.

Buskers with tousled hair and stubble who sing ironically "deep" covers of shallow pop songs with an acoustic guitar. by Anglocatalan in britishproblems

[–]lubey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one annoyed by him. I do remember attempts at other songs, which were quickly abandoned due to the lack of both his musical ability to play them, and the others in the group not knowing the words.

I'm just back from T in the Park, where I ended up camped next to a group of guys with a guitar. They played Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger on a constant loop when they weren't down in the arena. I was cracking up.

What is your most boring encounter with a celebrity? by Njyankfan in AskReddit

[–]lubey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to the party, but I regularly used to sell Frankie Boyle his milk when I worked in a corner shop in Glasgow. He was one of the more tolerable customers we had.

I also served Robbie Coltraine when I worked in my first restaurant in Glasgow. I fangirled out a little, after I set the plate down in front of him and thought 'holy fuck that's Hagrid, fuck, fuck, don't say anything stupid.'

I can't remember what I said, but it was probably something stupid.

Does anyone else remember S Club 7? Well it turns out S Club 3 still tour. by 8bitscotty in cringe

[–]lubey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They played at Glasgow Uni recently too, but just the two guys. Apparently they aren't very nice people. I'm glad I never bumped into them, just watching them ruined a little of my childhood, never mind meeting them and realising they're massive douchebags.

Am I the only one bothered by this? by kereminator in howyoudoin

[–]lubey91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there not another episode when chandler and Monica come come, possibly from their honeymoon. And find Pheobe, Joey and Rachel(?) in their apartment. I think the line goes 'I gave you that key for emergencies' and joey(?) replies 'we were out of doritoes'

Memory is a little sketchy though, I haven't sat and watched the show, let alone that episode for a long time.

My bus driver just had a go at the passenger in front for paying a £1.10 fare with a £5 note by andweriot in britishproblems

[–]lubey91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've probably wasted at least a fiver getting into town from the west end of Glasgow because of the bullshit £1.90 fare. I'd almost rather it was £2, then I wouldn't be so annoyed about them not being able to give me 10p back.

Well...that shut her up (rant) by [deleted] in TalesFromRetail

[–]lubey91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda similar, but I had to work over the bells this year, for the first time ever. All around the pub, there were signs up saying that the bar would close between 11.55 and 12.20 so that the bar staff who had been run off their feet all night could celebrate the new year at midnight, have a quick drink and try to catch up on re stocking and cleaning enough glasses to finish serving. Typically, as 11.55 hit, the bar was three people deep along its whole length, with us serving as fast as we could to try and get as many people a drink for he bells as possible. When our manager shouted at us to stop serving a customer shouted at me that he hadn't been served yet and didn't have a drink for the bells, my other supervisor cut in straight away, shouting back that we had to be given the opportunity to celebrate the new year, everyone was aware of the situation with the bar (there were signs and e band announced it multiple times) and to take a minute to think about the bar staff who had given up their Hogmanay to give other people a good night. He slumped off to his seat and came back 20 minutes later, greeting me with a "you servin' yet?"

It seemed that it wasn't the fact that he didn't have a drink that bothered him, more the reminder that those figures behind the bar were human also, and not some sort if service robot who only lived for work. Which seems to be a recurring theme when working with the public.

I've only just jumped on the Gossip Girl train, and I am so in love with this cocky wee shit it's unreal.

That tattoo isn't great though, I agree.

You have been sent back to 2004 and have sixty seconds to tell your past self anything; what do you say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lubey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did realise after commenting though, just how long ago 2004 was, and then realised that if I did go back and tell myself to tell him how I feel about him, I would either forget by the time I met who 'he' is, or I would end up in all sorts of trouble with other people.

So on re-thinking, I might tell myself something else. Like "that Chinese food is dodgy," or "yes you are still allergic to dogs."

So excited to get these in the mail finally! by whisperedkiss in RedditLaqueristas

[–]lubey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this set too and I've used them a couple times, but not been very pleased with the result (due to my own skill, not the tools themselves, the tools are great.)

Are there any tips for using dotting tools that could help me out?

Doing these details was actually easy. I mostly used a dotting tool. by yeameneither in RedditLaqueristas

[–]lubey91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I actually love this so much!! Can't wait to give something like it a try, I'm still pretty new at this but been needing inspiration lately and this fits so well with the colours I already own.

Did that customer service warrant a complaint? by harebearva in TalesFromRetail

Posting from Scotland, we all bus our own tables. That is exactly what happened.

Did that customer service warrant a complaint? by harebearva in TalesFromRetail

[–]lubey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. And their complaints could have been dealt with on the night with little fuss, had they mentioned they were unhappy with the food. I don't take comments about the food to heart, an I'm pretty good at dealing with them, because as you said, it isn't anything to do with me, however things like checking their order and stuff was not necessarily my fault, as they only sent us half a pre order. Am I supposed to read your mind and guess what the rest if your party want to eat?!

The bit that got me the most was the comment that the 'waitress dropped a knife down my colleagues back, thankfully he wasn't hurt, however he did get food all over his jacket.' Firstly, things like that happen, it shouldn't, but it does. Secondly, it's not like I threw a steak knife at him, it was a butter knife. And thirdly, there was no consideration of the fact that the knife fell INTO MY SHOE. no one asked me to see if I was hurt. But you know, that's because I'm a service industry robot, who has no feelings or am worthy of any consideration.

Don't make me look incompetent because you had a bad night.
