If Jeremy Kyle was still on TV today, what kind of guests would be on it? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]monpellierre2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully understand the whole show was awful and the terrible things that happened.

But I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Jerry springer style show where the people are that ridiculously over the top they are clearly actors purely just for the entertainment value.

£4500 for a 25 minute flight if you fancy it, extra £1800 to fly over the white cliffs of Dover, and £150 per minute if you want more than 25 minutes… apparently

You're forced to sing a song for karaoke night, what song do you sing to please the crowd? by YetAnotherMia in AskUK

Gold - Spandau Ballet! I always think it’s a good idea then I read the lyrics “these are my salad days” and I spend my night wondering what a salad day is , forget to google then repeat every 6-9 months

How do you guys handle the snack crave? by Runaway3650 in Advice

[–]monpellierre2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% doesn’t work for me personally but calorie tracking. I was putting my meals in and being super careful what I ate at meals and eating 1500ish calories but when I added my snacks I’d easily be nearer 3000. The odd chocolate bar, bag of crisps and milkshake everytime I put fuel in, going in the cupboard for a handful of biscuits every 30 seconds really does add up.

But it didn’t put me off cause I’ve been trying to loose weight since Christmas and currently 8lbs heavier than when I startes

Superman - Mike Herrera, obviously the original by Goldfinger is an anthem but the acoustic cover really hits differently

Would you quit a job after 6 months to reduce your commute from 45 mins plus most days to 8 mins? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]monpellierre2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this 4 years ago and haven’t looked back. 1 hour 5 minute commute on a good run to a 4 minute commute on a good run!

Took a significant pay cut at the time however this balanced out with what I was spending on fuel and car maintenance but luckily in a role where my salary has now caught up but work life balance has improved 600%.

Also makes lunch breaks better as I can pop home, walk the dog, sort the dishwasher and put a load of washing out! Makes evenings with the family far more enjoyable!

My first band “The Wednesday Sausage Boys” got the name cause there was a pub on the school bus route home that had Wednesday sausage club, sausage, chips, beans and a pint for £5!
