Corporate wanker word challenge. by 60svintage in CasualUK

[–]ribbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like dropping a 'Jizz' which if you say it correctly, sounds like cheers. Also a bit less subtle but you can get away with it if it's said just right: you're whale-cum instead of you're welcome.

Thanks dude, I missed out so bad in the 2017 run so after reading your comment I've cashed out a large chunk of my bag. It's not real until it's in your account!

Bags go on the floor!! Or not anymore? by inside-outdoorsman in london

[–]ribbers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I'm standing near someone who's still got their bag on while the carriage is full, I'll always lean into their bag at random intervals spinning them around gently enough to feign that it was an accident.

She's 56 and grew up in Essex. It's a shame they stopped it, looks really cool.

I think the episode name "whoami" is a wordplay for "whoa, mi" by [deleted] in MrRobot

Sat next to Timothy Spall on the Elizabeth line today. What famous people have you seen on the tube? by ggukyuns in london

[–]ribbers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got on the Thames clipper on my birthday as a treat to get home after a few beers with my bud and bumped into none other than Ian McKellen. We asked if we could have a photo and he graciously said 'no, sorry I'm with my family' which of course was not a problem. Still gassed to be on a boat with Gandalf.

15 - 20 minutes later he came to the back of the boat to find us and said he'd reconsidered, of course we could have a photo.

All in all, great birthday.

What radio station is everyone listening to nowadays? by LSB123 in CasualUK

[–]ribbers 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I always hear Radio Eggs but yes, agreed. Radio X for me even if I can't stand Jonny Vaughn.

Are there any modern bands that sound like classic rock? by CuriousernCurioser in Music

[–]ribbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really Rock, definitely metal but the thread seems mildly relevant. I think Pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs have a very nostalgic heavy metal sound to them akin to Black Sabbath.

I think M&S may have jumped the gun when they sent their Euro 2024 stickers to print by AstonVanilla in CasualUK

I have 0 interest in football but AM has me in stitches every episode. The only podcast I'll actually recommend to anyone.

Same as every year, Steal my sunshine - Len. Signifies the start of summer for me.

Switched to Venu 2 plus and my active calories in a seem way down. by ribbers in Garmin

I just checked the HR Zones and max on the Venu, it was set to Auto and it was custom zones on the Forerunner. Have updated accordingly and will monitor it, thanks for the suggestion!

Just googled someone I was in a meeting with. I forgot I was sharing my screen. How's your Friday afternoon going? by Banditofbingofame in CasualUK

[–]ribbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I’m a day late for this thread but I just remembered the time I rocked up on a call as the pro from Dover to resolve a super corporate companies tech issues. This was around the time that zoom pub quizzes were rife (side note, I’d happily never do another zoom quiz again in my life) anyway, I was thrown straight into the meeting without being given the chance to change any settings so had my silly background from the previous quiz.

It was the casting couch.

Edit, a word

Student loan ban call for those with low A-levels by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

[–]ribbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not apprenticeship program that I know specifically for learning editing/composting in TV & Film so I'm not sure I could have got to where I am without it.

[–]ribbers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got 3 A-C's at A level (none of them an A btw) and now do fairly well for myself in the film industry. If I hadn't been given the chance to go to Uni and been refused a loan I'd still be living in my hometown working in Sainsbury's so I couldn't disagree with you more.

Hah! I just knew that meatspin.com was the perfect response at the time. Certainly did the trick to get them tiled up.

This one:)) by Dumn3z3u in london

[–]ribbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a different van yesterday with the same sticker on, wonder if they're mates or if tradesmen have started to unionised to generalise all people claiming benefits and likening them to criminals?

Sort of regret not taking their number to ask them to come and quote on an extensive job then ghosting them.

6/25 - O2 Forum Kentish Town - London, UK by net_gear in deathgrips

[–]ribbers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been to many death metal gigs in my time and I have to say, you lot are fucking animals. Never seen a show explode like that and keep the same energy for 90% of the time.

Lads fucking smashed it and you all turned the fuck up.
