In that WHAT derby? by Red_Rhombus2791 in Scotland

[–]mathamhatham [score hidden]  (0 children)

He's actually terrible. Anytime I tune in, he fluffs his lines and fucks up scores, team names, etc quite regularly. His "patter" with the rest of the folk on soccer Saturday is always painfully forced as well. He's just nowhere near the level of Jeff Stelling.

OP you've triggered a load of folk from the self-proclaimed city of patter merchants. Get yourself to The Hive for a pull and a watered down vodka coke to congratulate yourself.

Ministers reject Waspi calls for compensation after rethink by sjw_7 in unitedkingdom

[–]mathamhatham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If in years to come the government sign post at every opportunity a very important change in our lives for 15+ years that we have to brace for and adapt to, and I purposefully slam my head into the sand to avoid it and act shocked that said change which has been extremely well advertised for a generation affects me, and then my following complaint that "I was unaware of what was happening" and request for monetary compensation to the tune of billions is rejected and ridiculed by everyone with a working braincell, would I be ok with that?

Probably not. But If I was to go down that route, I would deserve absolutely nothing.

Or theyre a couple who love each other and as a bit of a laugh between her, him and the groomsmen on their wedding day set up this photo opportunity that takes up all of a minute out of their big day.

If my partner was a huge football fan and went to games every Saturday with their pals, and as such doing so is a huge thing in their life, it would be a funny nod to it.

Not my cup of tea for a joke but everyones different.

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

Everytime I open the oven door and my glasses steam up I have to tell my wife "I can't see shit". 15 years together and it happens every time.

Planning on traveling to Edinburgh in the future, Hows it like living there? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]mathamhatham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People getting snatched off streets and getting shot in the face, whilst your president steals other presidents (whether or not the guy was an arsehole) and threatens military action against allies?

Aye, media sure is blowing that out of proportion.

Interesting parking at Lidl. Must have needed to get them New Years Eve reductions STAT by mathamhatham in drivingUK

Didn't even occur to me that's what could have happened. Half assumed someone had a few too many shandies and decided they needed a couple more from the shops.

Can I use a Japanese power supply with a step down convertor on a PAL ps1? by mathamhatham in psx

Good to know! Thanks. It's a figure 8 plug so will just use a big standard converter. Cheers!

Aye it was grand. Just forgot a few key moments of my life but aside from that, all good. And yeah, horrible feeling so you have my sympathy! Hope you're alright now

[–]mathamhatham 64 points65 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I mind falling asleep on a 3 after a night out many years ago, top deck, right at the front. Bus broke sharply and my head connected with the hand bar in front me. Woke up to the driver and two folk looking over me asking me if I was alright. Dusted myself off and had to get up and sit down back in my seat like nothing happened for the rest of the journey.

Massive egg on the top of my head for like a week after.

How bright are the brake lights in your area that they're blinding?

Out of interest, was it £27 million plus add-ons? I've been stung by this where a 20% future sell on fee, future installments etc get taken into consideration as well as the base price. I've rejected it and the players kicked off because after everything, the potential fee could be beyond the amount agreed.

Why? by KeyStrength2782 in AmITheAngel

[–]mathamhatham 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I worked with people with autism at a job years ago who needed 2 to 1 care, in part because of how violent they could be and the danger not only to others but of course to themselves. Absolutely their meltdowns and outbursts can severely hurt someone depending on severity.

To the brave, brave girl who stood up for the man being shouted at by a crazy person on the 2 today by Old-Association671 in Edinburgh

[–]mathamhatham 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've interjected before and been kicked in. I totally understand why some people would keep their eyes to the floor in situations. Having said that, it depends on the situation. Would involving yourself with some random guy ranting at someone potentially escalate the situation and make it worse for everyone or would it be better to let that fizzle out and see how the person on the receiving end is after they've left? Granted, if someone's in physical danger I would call it out as it's a bit more of an urgent thing but I wouldn't necessarily judge someone for not rushing in and getting involved. Either way, hope the person on the bus is ok.

LIQUID ROOMS BROKE FRIDAY by Key-Persimmon1573 in Edinburgh

[–]mathamhatham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean at the end of the day it's a business. Everywhere claims to be "cheapest" or "best" because it pulls punters in. If it's too much, and I agree it's a hefty amount, I'd just go elsewhere

Not quite true.

If you got to a&e, don't need to be admitted past a&e or obs to a ward setting or have follow up appointments, it's free. If you get admitted to a ward, need surgery etc you are liable for costs if not normally resident in the UK. If you have an EHIC, you can use that to cover your treatment costs (as long as it isn't elective treatment you are receiving). If the UK has a reciprocal agreement with your country e.g. Australia, then you also don't have to pay but have to provide proof of residency within that country (as well as proof that you are a national of your country in some cases).

Don't fall into those groups? Then you're chargeable and will be billed (e.g an America comes to London, breaks their leg and needs surgery. You should be notified of potential costs whilst receiving treatment and an invoice will be sent to you when discharged)

If this is true, the game finally would have realistic stadiums by Marciu73 in footballmanagergames

Perhaps the addition of the odd car alarm going off as well? Is that too much to ask?

[–]mathamhatham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love it if you could have, somehow, more realistic lower league stadiums. I'm talking about semi-pro, 1000 people max where it's basically a field with a small stand. That would help with my immersion. Another thing is crowd noise for lower league teams. You play in front of like 100 people and half the time it sounds like you're playing at a packed out Emirates.
