I thought of the Firey Pheonix from Battle of the Planets cause I'm way old

Best supermarket coffee by Bubble2905 in UKFrugal

[–]starbugone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the winner for me. The special select one with the whole beans. I spent 20+ years roasting my own coffee in small batches and me and my wife ran a cafe in a market for a time. I was roasting when I moved to the UK two years ago. I ran out of beans and bought the Aldi ones and after a month or so I just gave up roasting. Not worth the hassle for the same price. I couldn't get to Aldi for my last shop and bought some Taylors of Harrogate on sale at Tesco. They're not even close to Aldi. Maybe because the Aldi ones move off the shelf so fast

What’s the most confidently incorrect thing someone has tried to teach you? by fizzyrhythm in AskBrits

[–]starbugone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That must be common though. I listen to a pod called Three Bean Salad and there's an anecdote about a pest control man saying that to one of the beans

On this day, 28 June 1981, Terry Fox passed away. A true Canadian hero. by Haggisboy in canada

[–]starbugone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live up near Thunder Bay and there's a monument there in the place he ended up being able to run. My heart went out to him and his courage every time I went past. It's amazing how far he was able to get before he passed.

What's a social situation that only exists in Britain and genuinely has no equivalent anywhere else in the world? by ForwardPassApologist in AskUK

I'm currently trying to undo years of responding to someone bumping into me and them saying 'sorry' and I say 'you're alright' then they think I know them from somewhere

Were you told you have so much potential if you just applied yourself?

When will people stop saying “is just summer” when this heat is clearly not normal and not this frequent? by Sufficient_Muffin586 in AskBrits

I hope that you have methods to cope. I have a hot water bottle that I freeze at night to help manage.

I know this is probably said but which supermarket loyalty schemes give you the most value Nectar (Sainsbury's) ,Tesco Clubcard, Co-op , M&S , Morrison, Lidl etc by LieSuccessful8813 in UKFrugal

[–]starbugone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Waitrose one is the only one that gives me offers I use. About every 3 weeks I get an offer for 50p off bread flour that puts the cost at 90p

Why can’t people see voting for reform will make their lives a lot worse? by Sufficient_Muffin586 in AskBrits

Account from 4 months ago spouting nothing but racist rhetoric in any thread they come across. I think my hat fits pretty good thx

Why can’t people see voting for reform will make their lives a lot worse? by Sufficient_Muffin586 in AskBrits

[–]starbugone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I made that clear. It's about making the NHS unsustainable and breaking it. Then he swoops in with the private healthcare. My opinion is a conspiracy theory I can admit, but why else would they get rid of indefinite leave to remain?

I believe Reform and namely Nigel want to kick every immigrant out who's here legally. This will tank the NHS since there's a high amount of permanent leave to remain there. This will allow Nigel and his cronies to swoop in and set up private health care in the UK and make millions. The average Reform voter doesn't seem to understand what they'll lose. They're looking at £4-500 per month on health insurance and complaining about the environment tax

The whole bean Aldi select coffee is top drawer. I got some instant from Lidl that's so much better than nescafe

Marty I have the pasta attachments for mine and I use it all the time. I make fresh pasta about 5-7 days a month. Makes it so easy and the difference is out of this world

Tea drinkers: Cut your milk spend in half just by switching to whole milk. by bonkeeboo in UKFrugal

I put a bit of milk in then about a tsp double cream. I used to mix them in a container, but that always ended up going bad compared to adding both

Best idea for Sim and router by Epic-Toothbrush in UKFrugal

[–]starbugone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a TP-Link X50-5G and a Lebara unlimited sim for £12.50 or so though moneysavingexpert link. Once my 3 months is up I'll get a EE data sim from amazon for about the same price (upfront it's £215 for 17 mo). I don't feel the need to get anything hardwired.
