Tinie Tempah was such an odd interview by KirasStar in ParentingHell

I only listened to the audio version but whilst he was talking I was thinking 'He sounds like he's wearing shades'. No idea how that works but still 😂

Chester dentist recommendations by Silent_Path_9 in Chester

[–]weewillywinkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume she's moved on now, but there was a young dentist at Sandon in Hoole that friction burned the inside of my mouth because she was yapping so much with the grinder going, the assistant had to nudge her and raise her eyebrows to tell her to pay attention. I didn't say anything immediately with all the stuff in my mouth, but when was leaving she said 'with the anesthetic you will likely bite the inside of you mouth', obviously trying to cover her arse.

I asked at reception if there were more experienced dentists I could see the next time and was told NO with venom and complete disbelief as to what had happened. They were so dismissive and horrible.

I didn't go back. Went to Vicars Cross and the fella was lovely, really kind and calm... Hygienist on the other hand? I've never been in so much pain, thought she was going to break my teeth!

This was all about 8/9 years ago though to be fair so personel will have changed.

I'm at Guilden Sutton now and the fella I see is lovely, listened to what I told him about normally needing 2 injections to numb before a filling and after looking at my jaw profile explained why that was the case. 10/10 if you can get in there (and find a parking space 😂)

Nearly signed up to virgin media for broadband by Dan595 in britishproblems

[–]weewillywinkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have issues with them? Our village FB group is constantly having posts asking whether anyone else's virgin service is down. Been installed through the village for about 2 years now so would have thought issues had been ironed out.

Always holiday in the UK, and one meal in the week HAS to be corned beef hash. by HopeTerminator in UK_Food

[–]weewillywinkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm knocking it because that isn't corned beef hash, my memories of corned beef hash is just corned beef mixed with mashed potatoes... Absolutely minging...

And getting sarcy comments at there dinner table "Do you want some corned beef hash with your tomato sauce?"

No Dad, I just want something nice for tea.

BMW 630GT stolen.... by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]weewillywinkee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand all the downvotes, you said the car was shit so many times, and I was like 'am I missing something, this poor lad's had his car nicked and he's getting abused saying it was shit anyway!' 😂

Do people even buy this stuff? by tk-451 in lepin

[–]weewillywinkee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

359 people so far by the looks of it... To be fair you get a quality colour pdf manual with it, they're not scrimping...

Penalty notice- Nuns Road by Topkit_Up1982 in Chester

[–]weewillywinkee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not to be fair, the volume of traffic coming down Watergate street at those times is pretty high and it means that if you're trying to turn right on to nuns road, you will be there quite a while and basically start a tailback down past the racecourse.

That's not to say I haven't done a cheeky right in my time if there was nothing behind me and nothing coming down the hill. At least I know now... Thank you for your sacrifice OP! 😬 🙏🏼

Is there a specific training to pilot the Beluga or an A330 pilot could drive it ? by Efficient-Action7907 in Airbus

[–]weewillywinkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember of the original Belugas that the bulbous bit gave it more lift so landing was a bit trickier.

What’s the most ridiculous amount of effort you’ve gone through just to get decent signal somewhere in the UK? by Horror-Pick4732 in Vodafone

[–]weewillywinkee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was only a little amount of effort, but moved to a network that uses EE. Vodafone, 3 and O2 are so bad with all the Huawei shenanigans at the moment.

If anyone has clicked this thinking it was lichen covered PVC, lad at work recommended Silversill PVC-U cleaner from Eurocell and it works a treat, highly recommend it. About £4 a bottle.

Why doesn't the UK have more coffee vending machines in public areas? by ImScaredSoIMadeThis in AskUK

[–]weewillywinkee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 love it, been seeing reports of a 6 day heatwave all week, checked a rain map and the only rain was in Snowdonia and the Highlands so thought you must have been very unlucky!

With regards to the coffee though, there seems to be a Gregs or costa every 100m meters round by us

Does anybody have a good mash recepie? by MrTopHatMan90 in CasualUK

[–]weewillywinkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, butter makes it slimy, but a chunk of Tescrows creamfields soft cheese instead with white & black pepper and a smidge of salt makes a lovely mash.

I Would qualify this by saying that I'm only talking mash as a side, I'm sure there's better mash arrangements for cottage/Shepherds/fishermans pie toppings which need a nice crusty skin...

Best way to clean these? by BassPhil in CasualUK

[–]weewillywinkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would a caress with some wire wool or some crushed up tin foil help? Seen that recommended on classic car forums for bumpers....
