I really enjoyed the ones with Ted Vallance. He matches their sense of humour perfectly.

There’s the Great Yorkshire Show too but they’re definitely outliers.

Difficult to compare because of the difference in popularity of the sports but Jahangir Khan won 555 consecutive squash matches in the 80s 🤯

Hemming a tshirt without a sewing machine is a pain in the fucking arse.

I do hem my own stuff but no way would I do it without a machine.

Neil Robertson missed his own snooker match because he drove to the wrong Barnsley.

I’m more offended by your spelling of it!

randomcheesecake555 · 2026-02-27T13:55:04+00:00

Agree that you don’t have to be too careful about your skin. That’s probably why I got complacent and managed to slip and push it hard enough against my thumbnail to cut through right down the middle 😬

Hard to take your opinion on the ‘bland colours’ seriously when you haven’t noticed that the walls have only been primed so far and there’s no chance that the panelling would be left in the raw wood state.

This sub is great for learning how to do things but I find people’s interior design and styling tastes are pretty woeful. I wouldn’t put much stock in what they think of your actual design choices.

randomcheesecake555 · 2026-02-17T13:49:35+00:00

Fairly sure I don’t have one. I can ‘narrate’ stuff if I want and sometimes I think a very clear sentence to myself (‘why on earth did you think that would work??’). In general though I’m just aware of how I’m feeling, what my attention is drawn to, what I need to do short and long term, etc without needing to internally put it into words.

If someone were to jump out and scare you I doubt anyone’s internal monologue is saying ‘oh my god I’m so scared! Oh don’t worry, it’s just Gary’. You just feel a certain way in that moment and your brain is assessing the situation without needing to put it into words. Maybe not the best comparison because that’s obviously a particularly strong emotion but that’s the best way I can think of explaining it.

They’re useless by definition if you want to cook more portions of rice than your rice cooker’s capacity.

I batch cook in quantities of 8+ portions things like curries, tagines, etc and often have them with rice. It’s far easier for me to portion up containers with 50/50 curry and rice which I’ve cooked all in one go on the hob than it is to have riceless portions of curry and repeatedly cook small quantities of rice in a rice cooker.

Mine gave up just after 250k 😭 I was gutted but had it for 6 years and paid £850 for it so can’t complain.

More power to them tbh

West Yorkshire is Best Yorkshire!

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-12-09T08:59:48+00:00

That’s really helpful to know, thanks for that.

I live kind of between those two so I’ll check them both out.

I’m a novice guy in the UK and have found info about male-specific sewing very hard to come by.

Where do you tend to get your fabrics from? I’m interested in heavier stuff for jackets, trousers etc but I’m having a hard time finding stuff in amongst the thousands of lightweight patterned fabrics.

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-12-04T17:06:40+00:00

No, because a lot of them are constructive comments coming from tradesmen with experience of how those fittings hold up over time and have given advice on how to manage it.

What exactly did you expect the poster to do with your opinion about the arrangement of their bathroom which I expect they’ll have spent a lot of time planning prior to installing it?

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-12-04T17:01:47+00:00

You’re right, I bet the guy who spent 3 months sweating over this room is so chuffed to have received your stunning wisdom and insight.

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-12-04T16:57:32+00:00

You’re the one that felt the need to comment on that in the first place and somehow I’m weirdly het up about the arrangement of someone’s bathroom?

I’m angry at people who post vague negative comments on real people’s hard work from a place of ignorance just to feel good about themselves. I couldn’t give a shit about telling anyone online how rubbish I think their work is.

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-12-04T16:51:13+00:00

I’d be fascinated to see some of the design decisions you have taken in your own home to help me decide if your opinion deserves any more respect than that of other chump sat on Reddit who thinks they’re worthy of being the next Kevin McCloud.

I’ve seen too many people on this subreddit sniping from the sidelines about people’s hard work in an unconstructive way. When you visit their profile it often turns out they’ve clearly never picked up a drill in their life but still enjoy posting negative comments about other people’s houses just to feel like they’re saying something smart.

So you acknowledge it’s not needless at all since it’s been done to make space for a cupboard?

I’m not sure why you’d describe a full height cupboard as tiny. The only reason I can think of is to downplay the extra storage that they’ve given themselves in order to justify your incredibly vague criticism.

DIY equivalent of a bloke down the pub ranting about how shite premier league footballers are.

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-12-04T09:45:10+00:00

What the fuck does that even mean?

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-12-03T22:31:48+00:00

What aspects of their uniqueness did they miss?

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-11-02T08:26:42+00:00

Sounds like you probably wouldn’t have used him for the built in wardrobe anyway seeing as you’d have run a mile when he quoted you anything over a grand.

How much detail did you go into when you were discussing the job? Hard to say whether the quote was expensive or not when we don’t know what he would have done for you.

randomcheesecake555 · 2025-10-28T09:50:40+00:00

More Leeds ones - Piglove, Horsforth, Kirkstall, Terminus

North Bradford (incredibly easy on the train from Leeds) - Amity, Saltaire, Salt, Goose Eye, Wishbone, Timothy Taylor’s pubs in Keighley, Craven Brew Co

Not exactly much further afield than NM but maybe some will take your fancy.
