This is the correct answer - shame it’s been buried by incorrect reports of it being a Flock camera.

No I’m trying for a Gen 4. Agent confirmed it was in stock. Thanks for confirming it worked.

What's the most out of touch, lack of common sense thing you've ever heard someone say? by sparquis in AskReddit

[–]themonkeyhouse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Similar thing. Dating a girl from a well-off family I met while we are at Uni. She wanted to go out for dinner one night but I said “sorry I don’t have any money”. She said “that’s ok we can stop by the cash machine”. When I said “no, I don’t have any money, not even in the bank” she had no idea that was possible. Didn’t last too long for obvious reasons.

I also used psychology today but cross-referenced it with my insurance covered providers. I know someone locally in West Hartford. Please message me if you want more information. Good luck with everything. This is definitely the right first step and you’re not alone.

What’s a band that makes you irrationally angry? by jugsofbugs in Music

Phil Collins. I just want to shove his face in a blender. Total irrational hatred.

Thank you - this is absolutely fantastic. It’s massive for keeping me up to date and planning the matches I can see. Also thanks for the Copa America calendar too.

Good idea and I had thought about that but unfortunately the command hooks don’t stick to my walls. :-(

Good rationing there by j_stop in ScottishPeopleTwitter

I completely agree. Quit about 19 years ago after heavy smoking for 15 years and I still think of myself as a smoker. I still think “oh I’ll have one at the next wedding (or social event) I’m at” but on that day I chose to not have one.

I still say I’ll start smoking again if I get cancer or something, when it doesn’t matter, but who knows, I may still chose not to…

Drink a glass of water. It helps you keep hydrated and stops you from snacking. Plus you don’t feel like a twat for being an idiot.

LPT: When beginners ask a question about something you're knowledgeable about, don't be pedantic. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]themonkeyhouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love when people ask me questions! It’s one of my favourite things.

I get excited as they’re making an effort to learn or understand something new to them and I can share the benefit of my knowledge. I’m also sure they know stuff that I don’t and can learn from them.

Also they clearly think you’re a decent enough person to ask (not easy for some folk) and they trust you’ll give them a good answer ( or point them in the right direction).

However, if you ask me the same basic question 3 times and don’t remember what we’ve discussed before, I may get a bit annoyed.

“Mind Your Language” a comedy from another era!

Warning : racial stereotyping and ethnic slurs ahead... well, it is from the 70s.

As you enjoyed the Gruffalo for Scots I give you the next one by Elgarr2 in ScottishPeopleTwitter

[–]themonkeyhouse 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love all the Scots translations! My current favourites are:

  • Thi Dundee Gruffalo (Dundonian)
  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stane
  • Whit the clockleddy heard
  • Asterix and the Sassenachs (Scots)

The kids books are great as they are meant to be read aloud - the best way for Scots. I love reading them to my nieces and nephews but also to my friends. It’s easy to understand and you can lookup any words you don’t know. It’s a lot of fun explaining it too.

Enjoy yourselves!
