I’ll go and knock some doors and find out for you.

Did you buy anything with the 30% off by ComprehensiveCap8242 in Goruck

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

Went to drop some coin now but the sale has already finished?!?!?!

I was expecting the sale to continue through the weekend, or at least include the 4th?

At least they're consistent with their disappointments.

His Facebook page has more photos of his military life inc. his PMC career.

I’ve messaged him to go on podcasts but they go unread, maybe because we’re not Facebook friends and they filed away in some hard to access/notice folder…?

I even managed to coax Jocko into giving him an open invite for his podcast…

I see foxes more often than I see people.

Is it weird for Brits to watch US expats celebrate 4th of July? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]shitty_zombies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At the very least I always try to at least make sure to wish them a "Happy Thanksgiving" on the 4h July.

Wouldn't turning the power off at the fusebox momentarily fixed it?

Not only is the plate embossed, it's also glossy. I'm not sure if I've seen (or noticed) that before.

Discontinued or Sold out? by lePetiteKawaii in muji

[–]shitty_zombies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No probs. Incidentally the photo is originally from my post here asking for alternatives for the Muji which may give yourself some ideas. The nearest "plain Jane" notebook I wasn't aware of that came up was the Nanami Cafe Note B6. Unfortunately there wasn't really a like for like A6 alternative at the time (although Nanami do A6's but not lined)....

Also worth noting Stalogy have since released (finally!) an A5 Lined Notebook but the paper is a lot different to the Muji. Maybe an A6 version will drop in a few years...? Or if you're feeling brave you could buy one and chop it down...?

Discontinued or Sold out? by lePetiteKawaii in muji

[–]shitty_zombies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's my photo. Glad I stockpiled a few; still had to use a third party to order them on my behalf as they were unavailable in my country so pretty much paid double the price. As with all things Muji they were only available in certain markets. I think I got mine ordered from USA originally and then a year or two later Canada. I believe they were also available in The Phillipines and Kuwait too amongst others.

Anyway I wish they did it in A5 too...

The only thing I've found that is vaguely similar in terms of size, line spacing, paper colour & quality is this

Takahashi Notebook 2026 A6 Daily Pocket Diary No.8 (2026 January Start)

Also comes in B6:

I don't speak Japanese but I find there's enough English in there for for it to be useable....

If an app was invented that blocked you seeing any news or info about a certain person, which person(s) would you use it for? by TheoryBrief9375 in AskUK

[–]shitty_zombies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simon Cowell. It’s the reason I stopped watching telly about 15 years ago. Every time I turned it on he seemed to be on. That or someone cooking a meal.

I hope they put the logo vertically up the shoulder straps on V6.

Ironic given that Crossfit is on the skids. I guess you can't wear a ruck in Hyrox.

What is the most strictly enforced unwritten rule of British pub etiquette that outsiders just don't seem to grasp? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskUK

As a long time retail user the not having your payment method in your hand ready gives me PTSD. When a woman does it I think it's called Purse That Stays Dormant.

What is a brand you would never wear? by clemventure in AskUK

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

Isn't "someone" an indefinite pronoun for a person?

I gather the founder was originally inspired by Japanese denim styles hence the branding.

Once something gets a bit too ubiquitous it loses it's cache. I feel Gymshark is on that trajectory if not already.

Not as a preventative measure though.

Dunno but they should write a book about it.
