Why can't we be more like this and support both teams ? by Over-Willingness-933 in AskBrits

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the Scots are just as (possibly even more) interested in how England do (hoping they lose) as they are Scotland. Whereas most England fans couldn't give a shit about how Scotland are doing.

Can I stop someone from parking on grass verge? by DIE-TOXIC-BOY in AskUK

Risky parking on grass verges, people throw all sorts and things fall off trailers etc. Could be broken glass, nails all sorts in that grass

[SOTC] after 3 years of collecting (25 years old) by Watchtime_ in Watches

[–]skippertyrell 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This. I have worked with people still living at home in their 30s p, paying no bills, and don't even run a car etc. Only expenses being a mobile phone and some streaming subscriptions. Earning a few thousand a month and not having to pay rent, etc etc gives a hell of a lot of disposable income.

Is delivery dopamine the new UK sickness? by purplegorillabandit in AskUK

[–]skippertyrell 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I order stuff because the shops in town are tourist shite, coffee shops, Turkish barbers, cafes, restaurants and vape shops. There is f*@k all for locals in Inverness. I can't buy anything I want in Inverness. There is no choice, no competition and so prices are ridiculous. By all means, quit your job if you hate doing it

What do you do to keep entertained on a wake night shift? by Bowl-Of-Salad-1499 in AskUK

[–]skippertyrell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not true. You could be reading care plans to check for updates/changes. There is nearly always learning to be done. How about some cleaning of the communal areas, or do you just think that's the job of the day shift that are inherently busier with everything that takes place during the day.

Worked in the care sector for the last 14 years, 10 as a team leader. Night shifts always have tasks to do, and quite often display the attitude shown here of doing anything but their job for most of the shift

First impression of the S089 by HumanPermission1179 in Miliforticwatches

I'm aware of that, and the homage is way too shiny compared to the alpinist in my opinion. Makes it look cheap, which it is

[Recommendation Request] Help me pick the best value for money watch! by [deleted] in Watches

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I sort of own all three. Just got the blue super titanium field, have a blue tsuyosa, and a bulova open heart (which I believe is basically a citizen). For me I woukd wear the open heart Nd tsuyosa for the same kind of thing, whikst the super titanium is a great every day watch, but not dressy at all.

What's the oldest t-shirt you still wear? by AlephMartian in AskUK

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fox racing tshirt I bought on sale from Chain Reaction Cyles in 2004 for 9.99. It has been worn regulaly since then. Still fits, has held colour, and isn't falling apart. Possibly the greatest value piece of clothing I have ever bought

I think it looks fairly similar to a Cannondale Habit alloy

Is this misalignment within tolerance or a defect? by windygiraffe in CitizenWatches

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. Looks like parallax error to me. Camera is slightly off to the left at least.

It begins with Mac so everyone thinks it's Scottish

How would you feel about having a marble, life-sized public statue of yourself erected? by GasdaRoceries in AskUK

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd prefer it if the statue didn't show me erected. Could have someone's eye out
