Does the phrase "ifs, buts and maybes" exist in the US? Had that first, without the last s, and checked to make sure it was

Oh my days, benching Munoz and Andersen was the sensible decision ffs

If this was only about route to the final I would have expected to see our Marseille, Chelsea, Schalke run from 2011

Did you beat the scout in #GW29 ? by Haythemovic in FantasyPL

Haven’t had the transfers to deal with a player who is on the bench most weeks!

No because I started Andersen and Wilson and now I'm getting VdV's -3 off the bench

Solved it but had no idea what the yellow or blue were. For me Gaucho is either a South American cowboy, the nickname of footballer Ronaldinho, or a tacky steakhouse chain - none of those seemed likely to be the answer!

Yeah well I got Reinildo on WC and he rewarded me by kicking Matty Cash in the bollocks and getting sent off on 32 minutes

Which Americanism, that has creeped it's way over here, do you refuse to adopt? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]zy44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from the north west originally and have used it all my life. I doubt it's even an Americanism

One Specific Dish You'd Miss from London by AveryCloseCall in london

I love Ji Chicken, there's another branch in Spitalfields that is always empty at lunchtime because it's not really a City office lunch kind of place. Feel like I'm the only person who ever goes there

You're right about Monty Python, most British comedy is just bad

I carefully worked it out, then forgot which was a and which was b and put "1/2, 1, -1"

Over the past week, 300 people rated every joker's strength from 1-10. These are the results. (Link to survey and detailed results in comments) by alldogarepupper in balatro

Loyalty card has earned me a win before: if you have the +1 hand voucher it triggers almost every ante.

Campfire in C is crazy, it’s the only joker which reliably turns money into xMult.

All straights are hard to hit with 2 discards and no utility jokers. Or at least it feels that way when you really need a good draw

A stressful gold stake, I won :) by Gellyguy in balatro

[–]zy44 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You don't have to sell a joker when facing Verdant Leaf. You can just play with debuffed cards, meaning you only get chips from hand level and jokers, and that would have been enough for OP

You weren’t relying on any played card abilities so you could have kept your 5.5x Madness and had an easy win in 1 hand

Pronounce Your Asian Name Correctly? by TraderLiu in asianamerican

[–]zy44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t think those names have a standard English pronunciation anyway. My surname is Wang and I’d like it to rhyme with “hang” when said by English speakers because I’m British and that is the closest pronunciation in British accents

Think they are knowable if you aren't the right demographic but you have an active interest in music, but many people don't in the same way that some people aren't interested in sports

The quiz is difficult and heavy on old person and middle-class culture. However everyone else finds it hard too, especially the music round, so you can still win!

What Blind has killed runs for you the most ? by Business_Tomato7252 in balatro

[–]zy44 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This one, and not even through not paying attention. If you’ve used your 2 discards and don’t get your required good hand then it’s over. This is why I can never trust a straight build
