Worst one I watched was a guy dressed as an Arab throwing fake bombs at people. It was a response to the post of someone saying they all had stauners. Sometimes not. on a scale, size of the prank is directly proportionately to the perpetrators diminishing personality. FACT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Nosejob Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Reversing a door so it opens to the left instead of the right, or vice versa, is a lot more complicated than you’d imagine. It also fucks up your light switch position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Going out every weekend, spending money from an overdraft or credit card is a massive waste of money and you'll have to pay it back eventually. Sorry for the cliche but there is no substitute for simple, hard work whether it's for studying or working. Learn to cook properly, not just throw stuff in the microwave or oven. Eat and enjoy healthier foods and exercise properly and regularly. Appreciate the time you have with those you love because when they're gone, anything you have on your mind will only stay in your mind. Don't get heavily involved with anyone until you're genuinely ready for it. Especially when you've not even figured yourself out fully. Learning another language is incredibly beneficial for all kinds of reasons. Don't go shagging someone you simply don't find attractive, even for the ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon subconsciously it woulda been cos I had no where to take them which ties into Stellaboz's first point. Wasting money rather than saving up and getting out of home earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a healthy young man during the AIDS crisis there were no open goals. You had to beat an entire team, then hope the opposition didn't kill you when you scored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Wish I'd known that data science and statistics were going to be major growth industries when I was in school. I ended up getting a trade instead, which was fine because you meet a lot of good people doing that, but statistics is just more interesting to me than engineering. And since I've now got a wife and mortgage, it's too late for a career change. School career advice was fucking abysmal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a letter in Viz from a middle aged man in a career rut, thinking of retraining as a professional footballer, and was considering Newcastle United as he had heard the money was quite good. I often feel like that. Maybe Hamilton Accies is a more realistic option for me in my 50s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Statisticians can be somewhat over-confident in their work and can be a massive ball-ache in your line of work. Therefore, I wish I had known to avoid stats like the plague and just told them "cool story bro" much earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used them once and after they had taken my money they said it would be 2+ hrs until delivery. Never again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see what's wrong with it if they pay drivers to deliver when the restaurants don't do it themselves. It's a bit like waiters taking it to your table.

Derry Alli Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Most takeaways will send their own menu with the food and usually have their own app to order through next time. It's the same as Groupon etc, the percentages they take are a bit shit for places too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye my local 4 in 1 place of choice have launched their own app. Advertised prices are same but they apply a 10% discount at checkout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
