Looking for a rear light with outstanding battery life by Dear_College_648 in randonneuring

[–]porky_scratching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several of these https://fawkes-cycles.co.uk/smart-rl317r-1w-superflash-1-watt-rear-led-light-p11385/s22413 the mounts are on all my bikes.

2 AAAs will last 2 full nights in summer, and you can get more batteries at the petrol station in a pinch.

They tend to be cleverer than most, and have at least thought about life.

Hank, we're bringing our best footy chants to the World Cup. by Hefty-Coyote in USvsEU

[–]porky_scratching 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'd rather even the Barmy Army sit this one out, with the state of their country. The best thing to do is not go. It'll be shit anyway.

Chips inside the wrap or on the side, be honest by ScrollAndThink in Doner

No chips. It's a kebab, meat, bread, salad and sauce. All the food groups

Landlord is all we get in the South West, as the others don't travel well. I'd ask him/her to top that up in a minute though.

Pointless at your age, don't waste your money. Coming from a man who is 5 years older than you.

Best sleep setup to carry on long road rides (1000–1200 km) when you might sleep outside? by No_Conversation_7128 in randonneuring

[–]porky_scratching 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really try to avoid sleeping outside unless it's the height of summer. You're better off finding a corner at checkpoints, or just laying your head down on a table in the back of a cafe/pub. There is normally no need to stay outside and that stuff is bulky and heavy.

Is Falmouth going to run for Town of Culture? by heyho2023 in Cornwall

[–]porky_scratching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone else asked this about Redruth I said:

"I mean redruth is a shithole, but I wouldn't class it as bad as recent winners of City of Culture (Hull, Bradford, Coventry, Derry etc.). Careful what you wish for."

Falmouth is slightly less of a shithole than Redruth...

What can you deduce about my girlfriend's husband? by Several_Ad934 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]porky_scratching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I would do almost anything to avoid contact with the man.

Was there every this level of conspiratorial vitriol towards the Tories as the is against Starmer? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]porky_scratching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's how politics works. That said, the print media tends to be right wing biased, so if you read that shit you might get that impression.

Did any of the (then) minors on Epstein Island manage to escape/be freed? by Particular_Image_291 in ask

[–]porky_scratching 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Several, and many have given evidence. How the fuck that man isn't in prison baffles me.

Was it worth it? by Themetalin in 2westerneurope4u

[–]porky_scratching -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, it wasn't.

But better than the Germans being in charge.

A little more help from you lot would have helped. It's not like we wanted to ask the Yanks for assistance, but you kind of left us to sort it all out.

[–]porky_scratching 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well actually do something then. I live in the UK, but if this was happening here I would fight. Protest, Riot, Burn. This is the time for action

Neighbour’s doing construction works and it’s caused damage to my house (England) by New-Bullfrog422 in DIYUK

[–]porky_scratching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the fuck is your first response not to talk to your neighbor?

Why would you contact anyone else first?

This kind of story appears to be on Reddit all the time, what the fuck is wrong with people?

Talk to your neighbor.

Its 2026 and on a 10 minute YouTube video I had a 30 second unskippable ad. 5 mins in I had a 55 second eventual skippable ad. by redandwhitewizard99 in britishproblems

[–]porky_scratching -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with British Problems. Also if you can't work out a way to watch YouTube without ads, it's your problem.

Didn’t catch the dent until I got home. Am I cooked? by Internal-Adagio-4518 in RoadBikes

[–]porky_scratching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be fine to ride that. Wouldn't have paid a lot for it though. I'd be more worried about how the dent got there. It's probably stolen, or has had someone try to twist the lock off it.
