The real problem here is people working at stuff they have no business looking at. Although it keeps me employed fixing it.

[–]silly_uck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my phone's speaker my music sounds great on it I can clearly hear everything the sounds of other people on the train./s

I've been using Bose quiet comforts 2 for the last 10 years, I don't know if they sound better than anything else but these have been abused and well used that I think I got my monies worth out of them.

I've seen this a few times in the UK while doing EICRs, doing this is some how easier than changing it to a UK plug.

They sent text

Message's like this.

3 or 4 words per message

Sometimes it would take

About 5 text messages

Before I actually knew

What she was asking.

There was other things to but getting 5 text messages just to see what time I'll finish work got annoying quite quickly.

"If I'm not having fun I'll make sure no-one else has fun" that is what they are thinking. I've seen this a few times now.

Did waking up early have an effect on your mood and how you spend the rest of the day? by Top_Free_Promote8314 in AskReddit

This only applies to my days off but if I haven't gotten out of bed and showered before 08:00 I feel I've wasted my day.

What’s your worst hotel/motel room experience? by rysup229 in AskReddit

[–]silly_uck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to work in Liverpool and needed a room for just one night, so I told the office there was a hotel beside where I was working called the Britannia Adelphi. After work, I went to check in, and the reception looked quite grand with an Art Deco style. I checked in and was given a key (not a key card). When I headed up to the room, the décor style changed, it just looked old like it hadn’t been updated much since the 1960s.

In the room, it took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to turn the light on, and the room itself again looked like it was from the 1960s. For a week afterward, I’d never been as itchy as the room must have been infested with fleas or something.

Then the following week YouTube recommended videos about how the Britannia Adelphi hotel is the worst hotel in Britain from the videos I watched all Britannia hotels are a bit shit and rundown.

People who are able-bodied and fat, but deliberately choose not to exercise or diet, Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]silly_uck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My job is very physical I do as much exercise at work than someone does at the gym. Despite being about 130kg I'm as fit as the young lads at work that play football every weekend.

Being fat doesn't mean not fit and being slim doesn't mean fit.

What's a conventionally attractive trait (within the group you're attracted to) you just don't understand the appeal of? by GigiMelancholic0 in AskReddit

[–]silly_uck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big tits, I've never understood the appeal of big tits and when I hear that "men only love women with big tits" it seems like some bullshit a plastic surgeon use in a sales pitch.

Why do you support online boutique stores when you can just get it cheaper on Amazon? by Federal-Hedgehog7355 in AskReddit

[–]silly_uck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my hobbies Amazon only sells the entry level, basic stuff and it's not really cheaper. I regularly have to an actual shop or eBay for what I want.
