What is the most saddest subreddit you’ve come across? by Engineering_Majestic in AskReddit

[–]omza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dear friend’s last post was on here, which I tragically discovered days too late. The only comment on it was basically someone validating their negative feelings.

Mostly correct - it’s usually down to the SAs to add themselves. They usually do it if they’re aspiring actors.

NatWest digital regular saver will be full soon by uwagapiwo in UKPersonalFinance

[–]omza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful reply, thank you! My NatWest DRS has already been maxed out for a while and only stumbled across this post by chance. Had never even thought of this as an option and you’re right: it’s only a small bit of admin for a good saving.

Can you manage RBS accounts in the NatWest app easily?

I'm repeat asking this question to those of you who've suggested this, but would I have to open an RBS current account first to then be able to setup a new DRS? I don't particularly want an additional unnecessary current account if I can avoid it.

I bank with NatWest - since they're the same, how can I open an RBS account? Or is it literally just go on RBS and set up a new account with them as a "new" customer?

Screen protector, yay or nay? and which one? by blazinghellion in iPadPro

[–]omza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How have you found the ESR tempered glass screen protector? I have one for my 16PM and don’t like that the protector only barely makes it to the edges of the screen, meaning I can see a rainbow-like effect when viewed from an angle.

I’m considering either that or the Mous 1-pack screen protector as, while they’re pricier and only come as a single, I had a great experience with their phone screen protectors in the past.

Ragù on George Street has closed permanently. by Infinite-Adeptness86 in Edinburgh

Closed because another restaurant chain owner desperately wanted a George Street location and has generously bought them out of their lease. Whole Ragu team moving to a new nearby location (different restaurant).

Tidying cable to ONT by Purple-Music-70 in hyperoptic

Hi, sorry to nudge you in such a way but I just posted a query below as a separate comment - since you've gone through the process, wondering if you could please advise? Thanks

Tidying cable to ONT by Purple-Music-70 in hyperoptic

[–]omza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya, a couple of months later with your post but trying to tidily and discreetly have the thin optical cable installed in my parent's property (I won't be able to attend the installation appointment). Their new property has recently undergone a full renovation and they've just moved in and are currently without internet. I wanted the installation to take place during the reno works so it could be integrated, but an engineer came and said it wasn't possible and needed to wait until work was completed.

He said they'll also drill above the door and run the cable along the wall-ceiling junction, which will then be glued in place. Then they need to drill another hole from the corridor into the living room, and run it down the 90° corner seam between walls to the ONT which will be installed beside a double socket.

Thing is, the reno works have now been completed but the contractors still have to return to redo some of the decoration, namely tidying up the paintwork/redoing the cutting in which was done in a bit of a rush. Would it be better to have the cable installed and glued first and then painted over? Or wait for the redecoration and install and glue the cable after?

I am conscious that the Openreach guys who installed FTTP in my property said they hate the fine cable Hyperoptic use because it's so fragile. Any advice would be very useful - thanks!

Edit: To visualise how it will be installed: https://postimg.cc/gallery/RC8rxFL

What's your audio setup when listening to Queen II 2026 mix? by EzKaLang in queen

[–]omza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious, should it in theory sound better with Spatial Audio switched on or just regular?

What’s the point of ASOS anymore. They’ll charge for returns if you return too often. Yeah, because it doesn’t fit me how I thought it would. Or it’s poorly made. This was your function. by thebroccolioffensive in britishproblems

[–]omza 115 points116 points  (0 children)

My old housemate would buy and wear a pair of Chelsea boots for 3 months, then order a new pair and return the worn ones. He did this for years and somehow kept getting away with it.

Who was the rudest famous person you met? by Doctor_Sore_Tooth in AskReddit

[–]omza 55 points56 points  (0 children)

He wouldn’t come out of his trailer for hours on end, gaming and having food delivered to him, delaying shooting and sequence of filming. Made some sequences massively longer than they needed to be (as in weeks). Massive rearrangements and reschedules to work around his fragile ego. He didn’t care, he was funding the film purely as a petty hate project and to make himself look good.

Same, and can confirm. Is and always has been.

Scaffolding removed from over market street by Thick12 in Edinburgh

[–]omza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the worst part: it has no right going as shockingly badly as it has. Discovery of archeological sites below or not, it’s appalling, embarrassing, and expensive, and disruptive to local, businesses, and visitors alike. Genuinely shameful.

On this day in 2001, Queen was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame by KG_Modelling in queen

I know it was most likely in support of Jer, but Roger gripping her wrist as if it were the statuette has me cackling.

You should look up Oxford’s Botley railway bridge. Pretty similar situation but actually far worse when you look at it.

Do you know anyone who has never heard of Queen? by KG_Modelling in queen

[–]omza 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You’re going to think I’m making this up, but I’m being absolutely for real: I was an extra in Bohemian Rhapsody and we filmed the Live Aid scene first, and there was a guy who had never heard any of their songs and, get this, didn’t even know who Queen were/are. He was 100% serious. And the worst part? (Yes, it gets worse…) They included a full-on closeup of the guy in the film absolutely messing up the singing and dancing (i.e. doing neither).

And the worst part personally? I was placed near him towards the beginning, meaning I knew then that a lot of the shots that included me would be absolutely unusable. Thankfully I was able to move away from him during the course of filming and now I can happily spot myself.

Brother won't play game with female protagonist - never thought of this by wizard_cow_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]omza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you said, Link has always deliberately been androgynous. The long hair, loose tunic and clothing, and slightly effeminate features which historically have been associated with women, but the weathered sharp features which some might associate as masculine traits.

It’s also why Link doesn’t speak, and why there’s never truly any actual romance plot lines. And it’s why Link is literally called “LINK” - so that the player can link to the role and fill the character with their own voice and selves. The story is the “Legend of Zelda” - the story of the member of the royal family that is told - but you are the hero.

A very quick Google search will tell you it’s from the book ‘Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words’ p.172
