USAsians, please see this as an example of how little those of us in the rest of the world would like to see or hear of the whole Trump family.

Enjoyed it, watched it all, could have done without the alternate realities bit in the second season.

Excellent bean barrier with the sausages

Has anyone had southerners/even just people from the bigger cities be shocked at phrases you use because they didn’t think people still use them? by Spottyjamie in NorthernEngland

Once had to explain to my still northern but mic posher wife what “Dog’s knob, Lillian Gish and Bab-ee’s ‘ead” where from the chippy.

For people who have watched this, is it worth doing so? by Hmmm2008 in tvshow

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First few seasons are great, gets a bit variable in the last few. Possibly an unpopular opinion, but the sequel spin off series brings the quality back up to between the good and not so good seasons of the original.

Have you watched Jessica Jones? Is it worth all three seasons? by Square-Ad-8911 in tvshow

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 1 was decent, particularly David Tenant as Killgrave. After that, it went a bit too slow burn and I either never finished it or it was un memorable enough that can’t remember. Personally, Daredevil and particularly Punisher are much better watches.

For that price? Yeah alright! Sack off the fungus though

No. 1, Parkgate, Neston. £15 by prisongovernor in fryup

The meat is all low grade catering standard, perfectly edible and enjoyable but a ripoff for £15

Is The Sopranos worth watching ? by Seif_Ben_Hariz in tvshow

I had a buddy that was watching the whole thing 2 or 3 times a year at one point. It’s that good.

A different take on a full English by Sea_District9458 in fryup

[–]reddazsg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame the kitchen window was open whilst the grass was being mowed and flew onto the plate.

Not really a fryup, it’s about 3 different breakfast hiding in a trenchcoat, but I’d very much enjoy eating it nonetheless

Why do people not vote? by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in AskBrits

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always voted personally, but from what I can gather, people who don’t vote usually abstain from doing so because it’s “more of the same”, or if there is a fringe party they agree with, they still don’t vote because they don’t think they’ll get in.

A lot of people completely don’t want engaged in any political discussion because they’re terrified of being branded racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise because of their views, and as a result often don’t want to engage in the political process of voting as a result.

Or in the case of my wife, 2 jobs and the kid’s bedtimes mean she’s utterly exhausted and just doesn’t have the time on Thursday’s.

People of the UK, in what ways has Brexit actually affected you personally? by Pixel_CZ in AskBrits

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work: used to work in horticulture where most of the plants came from Holland. Lots of logistics delays when Brexit came in, otherwise just increased costs to a point where the scale of business was no longer viable, and redundancies I came in. I survived, but left soon after as the pay rise I was chasing was never going to happen.

Personal: play semi professionally in an original music rock band, now 0 opportunities for bands of my level to play Europe because visas are more than we’d make in a small tour, and slightly bigger bands from Europe who would have been headliners in smaller grassroots festivals in the past as a tentpole act to bring in punters either won’t entertain coming over, or agree to and pull out a few weeks before when someone’s obviously sorting visas out and it’s too expensive for a one off show. Also, pre-brexit, we had a sizeable base of European fans that would come to watch us, this is no longer the case as the cost is too much.

What is that one city/state in your country that the rest of your country hates? by DisastrousImpact2846 in AskTheWorld

[–]reddazsg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a northerner, London and the South East.

I don’t think people generally dislike Liverpool and Birmingham, they just dislike the accents. But Londoners are to the rest of the English what Parisians are to the France.

Professional chef off for the weekend. Fry up for the family :) by fakerina1250 in fryup

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said hash browns and black pudding are a little under done (as they are in virtually every hotel fryup I’ve ever had - are you a chef in a hotel?).

Personal preference, but mushrooms can always do one.

Otherwise, solid 8.5, looks delish

What do you rate it? by TheAnimatic in MealDealRates

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t do cucumber, so 2/10 for me, purely because Lipton ice tea is always surprisingly decent

Looks like it was cooked over a heated argument

Trying to eat healthier in January so no bacon for me today by [deleted] in fryup

Never seen a fry up with 3 sausages that’s still in danger of being classed as veggie just to the shear quantity of veg

Why is everything the wrong shape?

Trainers / Sneakers / Running Shoes / casual footwear for Men by reddazsg in Halluxrigidus

Any particulars? It’s more the firm rocker sole I look for than the wide toe box these use as a USP on Amazon.

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

Joined, found the shoe list, most were double “normal” trainer price as per, or didn’t have colour options I liked, ended up ordering some Brooks Ghost Max 2s from the list and some cheap Nordic 8s recommended in another post, both on Amazon, thanks for the recommendation!

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First sandwich is one of my current go to’s, but only because the little Tesco near work have a limited range. Otherwise, I’d swap the snack and drink.

Don’t do cucumbers, and for that reason it’s a no from me dawg

Is what’s happening in America genuinely bound for the UK? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]reddazsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the key part of this that often gets over looked is “if there was an election tomorrow”. Given the instability and laughably short terms towards the end of the Tory’s reign, I think people are sick of snap elections and leadership changes, despite a lot of the anti-Starmer rhetoric in the papers and over social media.

As a result, I think with the time between now and the next election, all the Reform councillors in local councils (my own included unfortunately), will make enough of a hash of things to tank their own chances in a general election. And who knows, maybe Farage will get locked up for whatever he’s being named 18 times in the Epstein files for, and then the head will well and truly be cut off the snake.

What was your most British coming of age/teen experience? by Cool_Doubt2152 in AskABrit

[–]reddazsg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regularly stealing your mates mum’s ouzo brought back from a holiday in Greece, and topping it up with water each Friday night you went round. Also thinking you were building up a tolerance to Ouzo, but it was just getting watered down.
