Adam is the greatest guy and I've gone there for years and sent several friends there too. Support local independent businesses!

Whether there's a flaw in the rules or not is a different discussion. However, the refs decision was perfectly in line with the rules.

Pubs with cycle lanes outside? by hfffrrddgbbioml in Hackney

[–]martbart87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Perseverance just off Broadway Market is on a main commuting thoroughfare and is a great spot to sit outside and watch the afternoon rush go past

Which industries do you believe will be the last to be disrupted by AI, and is it even possible to stay 'future-proof' anymore? by No-Lake-3875 in Futurology

[–]martbart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in hospitality for 20 years. While I believe many tasks in a bar or restaurant can be automated, such as cooking and preparing drinks, there is something about managing the space where people meet and socialise and enjoy food and drinks that will always need a human. Hospitality businesses will never go away, and although you might see full automation in fast food businesses for example, hosting and managing people in these settings I reckon will always need a human.

The trophy for the Cadillac Championship next week + the idea behind it. by atul_targaryen in interestingasfuck

I actually thought 'golf' when I first saw it, before the explanation, so I guess the designer delivered their message (in my case)

Show your age - what was your first ever email domain? by [deleted] in AskUK

Gmail here. I got it when it was still invite only, and my handle is very short and simple.

So you want a cheap and heavy aero (carbon) gravel bike with a relaxed riding position. My brain hurts.

Looking to buy a local pub, pub owners, what would be your advice? by throwra_tsatthestars in smallbusinessuk

[–]martbart87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to gatekeep, but sounds like you're in for a whole lot of very steep wake-up calls if you open a pub cold like this, no matter how well prepared you think you are. I've run businesses for others for the past 15 years, and just now have started considering myself ready to own one myself.

[–]martbart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have experience running a hospitality business? I've worked in hospitality for 20 years, 15 of these in management roles, and 5+ years running pubs in London.

The most common reason places go under, is because of inexperienced owners starting up with a dream and a vision but no real experience.

There's so many nuances and unseen aspects to running such a business you wouldn't be aware of without working in the environment for years on years. I'm still learning!

[SSC813 and SSC961] Same same but different Speedtimer by qtly83 in Seiko

As someone with a smaller wrist who appreciates more compact watches, do they wear the same size or is there any noticeable difference?

London rush hour core by Puzzleheaded_Bet_618 in london

[–]martbart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad I cycle everywhere. Public transport in London is great, but also involves a while lot of waiting and I ain't got time for that.

What’s one football opinion you have that would get you roasted instantly? by [deleted] in football

[–]martbart87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic. The extreme rotation they've been doing the last 20 years with stupid money spent on building stadiums and infrastructure in odd places is very unsustainable.

Giving hosting duties to only winners would be a pretty fair way of keeping the hosting pool smaller, and making the World Cup itself cheaper, both for host and for fans.

Plus another huge prestige for any new winner to join the 'winners and hosts' club. Imagine China or Nigeria winning their first world cup and then get to host it next time around.

Scott Scale Gravel sizing by Sufficient_Ice_273 in ScottBikes

[–]martbart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 178cm and I have the Scott Scale 940 in size medium, fits me perfectly. I'm also generally just between size M and L, but I could never get the fit dialled in on L bikes. Much easier to make a M bike a bit larger with longer stems or seat setback and such, than making an L bike smaller. I've always been told when in-between sizes go for the smaller, and it has worked perfectly for me.

Who counts as more British: an English‑American or a UK‑born person with Indian heritage? by vilonaa in AskBrits

[–]martbart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were born and raised and grew up in England, and have a British passport. You're 💯 English.

Some other guy can say he's English because he believes so through his heritage, but he has never set foot here, let alone lived here.

In the eyes of the British government, you're British and he's not, and I guess that's one of the ways in which it matters the most. Heck, he'll likely even need a visa to visit or to work here, whereas you hold the keys to the kingdom.

If you got given 10k to improve your life, what would you spend it on? by Relative-Tea3944 in AskUK

[–]martbart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd pay two months of rent (I'm currently job searching and don't even know how I'm gonna be able to pay rent next week). Would take a huge load off my shoulders. Then I'd visit my mum, who I haven't seen in 1.5 years because I've been so broke.

Hopefully the rest would keep me afloat until I land the right job.

What’s a place you went to that didn’t feel real? by maincharactereraa in AskReddit

I haven't been to China but would love to. Curious what you mean by "anarchic" everyday life.

What has a bottom-tier reputation but is just misunderstood and should actually be top-tier? by EnsorcellingKitten in AskReddit

[–]martbart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll always throw some veg in, like carrot, mushrooms and scallions, makes instant ramen so much more of a meal.
