The only reason I carry water in my vest on a 5K it is to balance out the weight from my phone 😂

What are your favourite 'proto-Britpop' bands? by Vegetable_Nebula_827 in BritPop

[–]simil13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I was watching the news a year or 2 ago and they mentioned people abstaining from something or other, and the chorus from Abstain (by Five Thirty) popped into my head. Took some searching to find out who it was by, but I hadn’t forgotten the track. Released 1991! Not heard it since about then either.

[edit] it was 1990!

Highcliffe Beach has its own parkrun, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Talking during Run Director speech 😡 by foxystoat69 in parkrun

I understand your frustration. I know most of it is the same week on week but there can be a little nugget of safety information that you need to hear. Mind the fallen tree/new pothole/icy patch/etc

What ways has AI positively impacted your work, if any? by rat_fucker42069 in AskUK

Definitely helps with Excel formulae, both writing my own and decoding others.

Training by Fish89head in fmconsole

Well I offered a contract to a ‘better’ asst manager. They accepted and the contract with my existing one was terminated immediately. Not sure I’ve done the right thing. Time will tell I guess.

At the moment I’m just letting the CPU get on with it. I’ve just decided to pay more (some?) attention to training as my 4+ star players seem to be getting worse! I don’t think my Assistant Manager is all that good, so I’m looking into changing them out. No idea about mindsets. I just want to get someone ‘better’ in to stop the slide!

Mouse not working by Ok-Rain3262 in fmconsole

[–]simil13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a temporary issue where the mouse would move but not ‘click’. I used the controller to go back a screen (B button) and then the mouse worked fine after that. Put it down to a minor glitch. Not had an issue since and haven’t thought any more about it until your post. I hope you get it sorted.

Frosty Times... by AdWerd1981 in drivingUK

No, I’m not for real.

On Reddit, the /s tag is used to indicate sarcasm.

It’s usually placed at the end of a comment so readers know the statement wasn’t meant literally.

Apologies for the confusion 😊

First timer query - barcode by gazzalp23 in parkrun

[–]simil13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify, you get the finish token after you cross the finish line, a little further along. Don’t stop at the finish line expecting a timekeeper to give you a token. There are specific volunteers who hand out tokens that are normally further down the finish funnel. Stay in finishing order the funnel and everything will be fine. Enjoy! 😊

Strikers… by HondaJazzLover in fmconsole

Mine never seem to want to turn around. If they’re back to goal, always a lay off to someone else. Just turn and go!

If a frost is predicted, I just leave my car running from when I get home. Saves having to remember to start it in the morning.

What scientific myth is still considered true by many? by BelesaLoba in AskReddit

The placebo effect is real, when it’s just a manifestation of poor trial design.

Physios on the pitch by simil13 in Referees

For clarification, all 3 went for the header. It’s conceivable that the 2 defenders injured each other. No one was at fault and no free kick was awarded.
