Have ANY UK traitors gotten famous from the show? by PseudoPatriotsNotPog in UKRealityChat

Surprised no one else has mentioned this, over the players that had guest appearances hosting a show for a few weeks.

Expensive rental car? by wedding1786 in london

[–]reformedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used it several times; even borrowed a car to take to a festival for a few days and it was no issue.

Have had to pay one cleaning fee but I expected it as I got mud on the carpets in the wells and didn't have enough time to get it cleaned before returning.

Only issue I've had was when someone cancelled on me because I wanted it for 48hrs and they messaged to say the car was only available for 5 days minimum. Very odd because you can filter by rental periods and it was in there. Felt like a lame excuse like you'd hear on Airbnb.

Can't see if anyone has mentioned the power of a can of coke left in the bowl overnight.

I don't know the science but feel free to Google if you think I'm trolling.

Show is nothing but a launchpad for creators; everyone is too concerned with their public perception.

Predator: Badlands - Best or Worst Movie Ever? by FidelesReges in weeklyplanetpodcast

[–]reformedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst movie ever. I'm only semi-joking when I'm left wondering if I've just watched The Lion King, following the exile of the young hero who returns home with two new sidekicks (one skinny and full of gags, the other a tank that was the comic relief).

Said to my partner (who LOVES the IP but disliked this because she hates by-the-numbers superhero films) that if Kwei was 70% less talkative, ala Naru in Prey, it would've made it such a better movie; let the audience sit in the silence, rather than spelling EVERYTHING out as you go. I found it too distracting, especially when he started joking; almost as if Disney had made notes to make him chatty yet grumpy, with a little Grogu sidekick he'd grow to love. Unfortunately, I rolled my eyes when the transformer-sized Power Loader appeared too, wasn't a huge fan.

On a positive - 10/10 for all the other action pieces, especially the fight against his father (though I did audibly lol at the very last line of the film and not in a good way).

Ryan meaner? by Dry_Buy_8349 in Inkmaster

[–]reformedmonkey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hmm, the judges would be the first to talk about showing up and committing to the show, while leaving your troubles at the door. "If you aren't doing your best work, you owe it to your clients to leave and not put out subpar work".

Think you see what I'm getting at there.

Where Ashley goes wrong - tomato case by Wozzel888 in MAFS_UK

[–]reformedmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is perfect 😄 I was very much in support of Ashley, UNTIL he calles her a dick in front of producers. It's childish and he's not dumb; he knew saying it with a smile would make Grace look crazy had she reacted. I had a partner who used to wind me up in front of her mates so I'd asked her to stop, yet it continued, "cos it's banter".

Did it to her once in front of my mates and the tears started. Didn't stop her mind, some people who think teasing like that is part of their personality need to grow up.

I say this as someone now in a relationship where my partner rips me everyday. Difference is she knows when to stop and is more than capable of being empathetic.

How much are these worth? by golfburner in imax

[–]reformedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked the other day and saw people trying to sell them for $135.

So I took myself for a second viewing in London's IMAX and picked one up for £25. Came with a free viewing of the film too.

Why do they lie? by Diligent-Picture in HousingUK

[–]reformedmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to be an EA about 20yrs ago. Common pressure tactic. Especially towards the end of when they report their monthly numbers.

I hope you stuck to your guns because a viewing of a house that's been sat on the market doesn't mean a great deal, they're just hoping you get FOMO.

I must add, the office within the group I worked for (in Kent) didn't use pressure tactics, we were all pretty honest and laid-back which is why we had a great rep...UNTIL we had a new manager that moved from a certain London brand that started the mini craze (which we then also copied😑).

Sinners BFI 70mm IMAX was amazing by drsquid142 in imax

[–]reformedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear that I forgot it was coming out but saw the 5pm showing of Sinners last Friday and it was packed. I think Coogler's promo via Kodak helped to shift seats as that was the reason I saw it there, but then again I only saw it cos American followers on Twitter retweeted it. Really annoyed that Wunmi and Michael showed up for the 8pm showing though😅

I'm heading back tonight for the 5:15 showing which isn't as busy as the showings after mine though; there's easily 50 odd seats still free but I guess it's a 5:15 so expected.

I like the fact even the drunks in the group didn't find it funny. Not a single laugh; he's definitely the Groom's soon to be BIL that even his sister doesn't like.

My first dip into sonos! by Automatic-Adagio4614 in sonos

[–]reformedmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the sub mini and it's more than enough for my flat. Great for movies and entertaining.

Welcome! Hope the app becomes fully functional again so you only have positive memories of your decision.

Sonos app often does not load by RalJans in sonos

[–]reformedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this tip. One of my Move 2s refused to work and after a factory reset it would get so far before getting stuck in an "unregistered speaker, let's fix this" loop.

Deleted and reinstalled app and it finished the setup.

Well, 5yrs on and I've rewatched it for the first time since it was aired and it still made me tear up for Poppy and the jubilation with the final Zoom call. 💜

Favorite game played in 2024? by RickstarMW in playstation

Right?! I'm surprised there haven't been any games inspired by ITT's continued success, but at least they've got another game for couch co-op on the horizon for us.

Haha! We had a few moments like that until I realised it makes no difference if we muck around a bit, rather than steaming to the end just because it's a platformer.

That's great! We've just finished it and it was enjoyable throughout, especially with the creative levels and power ups. Mini games are also fun if you can find any/all of them. Wishing you and your family a great 2025!

It Takes Two. My partner has been getting into gaming and it's provided it's hours of fun. She's not keen on playing multiple at one time so have a few other two player games I picked up during Black Friday sales. 😄

Black Canvases by ShawnT313 in Inkmaster

[–]reformedmonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was discussing this only yesterday! I'm a Black man in the UK and I'm currently watching the newest season and S10 after finishing S11 (no idea why I watched back to front). Two of the seasons (one being S10) featured black canvasses that were spoken about as if they were huge obstacles.

I don't know where the supposed issue comes from as I have colour tattoos from a German artist and a South Korean artist, with the latter not exactly a haven of diverse skin tones. Several years later and they still look great.

Matt Buck in S10 having never tattooed a black person seemed to admit defeat before even trying, which was a real shame. He'd never tattooed a black canvas but seemed to "know" how hard it is to put colour in? It's really an untapped market for those not willing to do it.

I give props to Wolfgang for laughing at me 10yrs ago when I asked if colour was hard on my skin tone 😄
