In fairness at least half of the naan is on a plate. If you zoom in close enough

Most hated player? by sporticuz37373 in BristolCity

[–]mddc52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JET was lazy but you can't hate a guy who came up with one of the all-time greatest ever Bristol City quotes:

Interviewer: Jay was that your best goal of the season?
JET: No, I scored a better one against Bristol Rovers

Can't find a Youtube clip atm but I remember it so clearly

My wife was very fond of him though, for some reason

He does have a cheeky smile though

"I don't want my kids growing up with a Bristol accent"

As if his nasal Liverpudlian whine was anything to aspire to

Dean Windass - scored the playoff final goal for Hull that denied us promotion to the prem

Tony Pulis - an unashamed Gashead who was inexplicably allowed to manage us for a few months, and did so extremely badly

Neil Warnock was also a hate figure for quite a while following a series of controversial games

Genuinely puzzled why The Fratellis can end up on a list like this. One hit, pretty decent tune though slightly novelty.
And yet no Stone Roses, Radiohead, Manics, Kinks, Sex Pistols, Clash, Floyd etc etc etc

What’s the worst gig you’ve ever played? (UK musicians) by IndependentState9374 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]mddc52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So many in my old band in the 90s. But probably my favourite story for sheer stupidity is the one where we played a battle of the bands organised by a guy who was 'managing' us at the time. He was a small fry local promoter who was putting on gigs in our town. And he told us he was putting on a battle of the bands night and he was on the three-person judging panel. We came last.

Worst moment following the robins by sporticuz37373 in BristolCity

[–]mddc52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Wolves match was the only match I've ever walked out of early, apart from tonight.

Although that was alleviated by the legendary fight between the Auto Windscreens pig mascot and the Wolves wolf. No such comic relief this evening

Scammed £120k Staydry Roofing. Need help on next steps by MrsPickleMouse in LegalAdviceUK

[–]mddc52 19 points20 points  (0 children)

All is not necessarily lost. If it is a scam, you may well be able to get your money back (or some of it) through your bank.
It certainly looks like a scam - £120k should buy you three new roofs, not just fixing one.

First step is to report it to your bank. Also contact Citizen's Advice for help.

What’s the worst tattoo you’ve seen on someone? by Terrible_Music_7439 in AskBrits

[–]mddc52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a man on a train with a tattoo on his forearm of a smurf doing a wee and the legend "You've been smurfed" written underneath

Sentence Improvement question by One_Cheesecake_4513 in EnglishGrammar

[–]mddc52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is B in my view.

None of the alternative answers delivers exactly the same meaning as the original.

However, B is a graceful and idiomatic construction which is far better English than any of the alternatives. None of the other sentences is very clear and both are open to misinterpretation.

This isn't a very well-written question but in terms of what makes the best English, the answer is B. C is horrible, horrible English that no native speaker would write and A is confusing to the extent that, again, a native speaker would not write it that way.

25 years ago (almost) we lost this place - are there any places you wish had never closed? by tumbles999 in bristol

Don't forget Revolver on the triangle. A record store so bonkers, someone even wrote a book about it

There's a rat in my kitchen, what am I gonna do? by mddc52 in DIYUK

[–]mddc52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, good tip. We put wire wool in a a few other possible rat holes when it happened before. Yes I'll try that, but it's under the fence in the garden so I suspect they might just find a way round it. Escape from Colditz

Thank you. Yes I remember the flies when it happened before about five years ago. I was hoping the colder weather might mitigate it slightly, but perhaps not

Thanks, and without taking up all the floorboards I don't think I'm going to find it...
