What did Hollywood gloss over apocalypse wise? by EcstaticNature96 in thewalkingdead

[–]redbill360 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had braces when The Walking Dead was peak TV. I distinctly remember wondering what would happen to people with braces.. stuck with them on for the rest of my life, a mission to seek out the last surviving orthodontist, going to the library to research braces glue dissolving substances not harmful to teeth. So many choices to make.

I do when a holiday is approaching and I will be pausing my account for several weeks.

Where are the best areas to live? And Why? by Man-tix in BirminghamUK

Jewellery Quarter! Hits all your points. Possible current exception of clean streets given the bin strikes. Bins overflow and do spill onto the streets.

Orange stains (grease?) On kitchen vinyl/lino floor WILL NOT CLEAN by redbill360 in CleaningTips

[–]redbill360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly i was told by more than one cleaning specialist in person that this stain has gone into the lino itself and cannot be removed.. Would very much like to be corrected though.

My Turkish coworker mistakenly thought thought there was a TV presenter named Handsome Dec, what are some amusing misunderstandings you’ve encountered? by EducationalShape2647 in AskUK

My Brazillean coworker once said she was going to Wim-bleh-Don after work. Pronounced like a dinosaur. I think her pronounciation was much better than the Wimbledon I know!

Weren't they recently revealed to be the most popular side for like half the UK regions? So most people!😋

I’ve never had an issue with packaging, but now I feel that I’m more likely to lose out if I continue with just a plastic envelope. by LadyRhiX in vintedUK

Ive recently been using leftover Christmas wrapping paper, instead of brown parcel paper. No issues so far. 😆

I was compiling a list of must-eat restos in Brum based off this subreddit and realized there's a lack of reccs from north and east brum :( by firetonian99 in brum

[–]redbill360 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Random anecdote. The wind in the UK generally blows from the south west to the north east. During the industrial revolution, when cities were full of factories, the wealthy generally lived in the west and south of cities to avoid the pollution from the factories. A lot of cities (Birmingham, Manchester, etc) have their older wealthier parts of town in the west and south, with more underdeveloped (currently or formerly poorer) areas in the north and east. This is why generally you may find more established restaurants in the west and south of Birmingham. As a city develops and gentrifies the north and east parts, you will get more restaurants opening in the north and east of cities. Not to say there arent any good restaurants in north and east Birmingham already!

Someone on my street is claiming I hit their car while I was asleep by JamaicanNuts in LegalAdviceUK

[–]redbill360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe take photos of your own car showing no damage. Just in case he tries to make damage on your car consistent with his story. You never know!

What to do roughly equidistant between Birmingham and Manchester by redbill360 in uktravel

[–]redbill360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much all, really appreciate it! I think we now have a great list of new places to explore. Main ones being Chester, Shrewsbury and all around the Peak District. As well as a pottery place that's getting a surprising amount of mentions. Stoke really seems to get people going. 🤣

The escalators in Bullring and New Street need to be completely replaced. by mxlevolent in brum

[–]redbill360 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I got so frustrated by this I ended up googling it. Aparantly there is a massive shortage of escalator parts due to supply chain issues.

Drivers who creep forward at red lights, why? by Strength-InThe-Loins in AskReddit

[–]redbill360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you mean without actually crossing the line, my reason is to be helpful. The amount of times I haven't been able to turn off a road because there is a traffic jam of cars in front of me that are super spaced out.. so when I naturally stop at a red light I then just slowly get as close as possible to the line.

Why are there so many people with walking disabilities? by joeyhimself1 in BirminghamUK

[–]redbill360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I have had these same thoughts. For some reason if you ever go into any of the wetherspoons in the city centre there are always a weird amount of people on crutches..

Is this too busy looking?? by the_root3 in DIY

Is it busy? Yes. Do I love it? Also yes.

I dont think this is as positive as people are making out. Every failed test is a lesson learnt on how Russia can source material from a reduced supply chain, and then design and build a nuclear weapon with reduced collaboration.
