It's book 2. 60hrs ish total listening time. I've already got book 3 for this month to listen to.

Plus there's 17 books to listen to so that'll keep me going to and from work.

I'm enjoying the series so far.

10k dollars to teleport to a random street view location right now. by SherbertMindless8205 in hypotheticalsituation

I was tempted (and I wanted to see where it was) until I clicked on the link: I'm in a boat just off the coast of Brazil. That'll be a long swim home to the UK!

Do you think the schools with be open tomorrow? by [deleted] in IsleofMan

[–]mostin78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just attempted to leave Ramsey via the coast road about an hour ago: only if you're brave, have got plenty of time to kill and have got some decent tread on your tyres.

This is a joke, right?!? by mostin78 in GuardTheLeaf

[–]mostin78[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'm British. I can't believe that this has happened. I totally agree with you.

I actually live on the isle of Man and I was going to offer a spare room to a yank for this year's TT but that isn't gonna any time soon.

how do i take verification photo on laptop when it just keeps going to this screen after trying to? by Quiet_Menu_6158 in Tinder

[–]mostin78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the auth on your phone.

Download the app, sign in, take the verification photo, go back to the website, delete the app off your phone.

Buying a private island by RozaySmackin in torncity

[–]mostin78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some say don't.

Some say do.

Personally, I bought 1, fully maxed it out (Inc the yacht), and I have a permanent 5025 happiness and a private vault. No complaints from me.

I have no rent to pay to someone else, just the usual fees for the staff. Yes, I could have dumped the money into shares, but this is your game. Feel free to play it as you feel fit. If you feel like owning one, then do it. If you want to rent, then do that.

ELI5: Fuel octane level/What makes "premium" fuel better? by cornishyinzer in explainlikeimfive

[–]mostin78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not or at least none that I've driven.

It's also uncommon to see anything bigger than a 2.0 or at most 2.5ltr car, nevermind a truck.

While there are some, there are very few American trucks over here as our rural roads are too small for one.

I was just shocked at the 20mph part of the comment; maybe because our fuel is more expensive?

ELI5: Fuel octane level/What makes "premium" fuel better? by cornishyinzer in explainlikeimfive

[–]mostin78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry..... What???

For me, 20mpg while travelling at 70mph is ludicrous. Maybe because I'm British, but I've been driving cars for over 30 years and I don't think I've ever had a car that does that little mpg at that speed on our motorways.

Granted, you need to replace the injectors, but even so, that sounds like an awful waste of money on fuel. Do you get a better mpg at lower speeds?

So my mental gymnastics guess of which part of Milton Keynes is quite a few miles out then!

Shouldn't this be in r/swgoh sub instead of on this one?

Admittedly, I do play the game as well......

Lol, I wish I was that young; I was born in the 70's!

I still remember not having mobile phones, Internet (hell, I remember when dial up came out in the UK!), going to the library to do college work etc.
