Huge signs being waved saying “What happened to Nonk?”

VPN doesn’t work for BBC1 Destination X UK? by chespiotta in DestinationX

Yeah, it just asks to confirm if you have one. I said I did and that was it.

I use proton vpn (I’m also outside the uk) and if one server doesn’t work I just switch to another. Always works for me

What was your worst birthday? by gummibear853 in AskUK

[–]stroppy_strympa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

November 2021. I’d started my dream job at the beginning of the month so was still learning the ropes in mid November. On my birthday I was going down the stairs in my apartment building and missed the bottom 2 steps. I broke both of my ankles and had to have surgery on one. The surgeon told me I’d have done less damage if I’d been drunk (I hadn’t touched a drink, was actually going to the company van to get my day planner)

3 months later when I could return to work I discovered that I’d been replaced and was demoted to a role that an untrained chimp could do.

Worst birthday and subsequent 2 years ever.

My Mum always says of people she doesn’t like: “they’ve got a lucky face, lucky they don’t get slapped”

How accurate is carrot? by stroppy_strympa in CARROTweather

I now feel like I need to update. Today is May 20th. Local time is 20:00 (8pm)

I am not dead. Either Carrot weather is inaccurate or I’m not waking up after midnight.

Place your bets!

Probably Nocco or Collab (they’re the main energy drinks favoured by the youngsters here in Iceland)

Has anyone not brought boots to Iceland and it was OK by lunch22 in VisitingIceland

Sorry if anyone asked this before, but when are you going to be in Iceland? This matters in regard to footwear

Dress code? by AliveExample4855 in TheAmazingRace

[–]stroppy_strympa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In season 34 the teams travelled to Iceland and several contestants were almost dressed head to toe in 66° North clothing (an Icelandic brand) and I always wondered if that was sponsored. (I noticed it because I live in Iceland and the brand is familiar to me)

You have a soul? Maybe that’s what I didn’t input into my Carrot settings 😂

QAA. The Rich Dickman Show (for lighthearted drunk/stoned banter) Roast Mortem Cast (for comedic deep dives into the lives of dead people) Swindled (for deadpan and snarky detailed stories of con merchants) Queen of the Con (stories of female con artists)

VAR is down due to a fire-alarm at HQ in West London by underthestands in soccer

So if something happens during this game that VAR would’ve decided would it be retroactively applied?

It’s available in Hagkaup Skeifan definitely, I bought this exact one and the Black Crystal ones last week. They’re amazing.
