United Kingdom chat thread V4: lamb rogan josh, £3 meal deals, and brexit - General

all i ever get shouted at me out of cars is "YO DO U SMOKE WEED M8??"

only awkward car experience i've ever had is when i was properly jamming out in my car to music at a stop light, and some twat in a flashy range rover pulled up alongside me and cracked a joke and his gf pointed and laughed at me :( also, curry powder is a godsend. you can just chuck that shit into everything and make a delicious meal. literally just fried some onions and garlic, put some ground beef in, tin of tomatoes, courgettes, potatoes and peas and had a keema done in like 15 mins.

Sign up to vote a month ago, get a letter today saying I am not signed up to vote. Well done, local Council, well done. Now I have to send a vaguely apologetic email using phrases like "to my knowledge, I signed up to vote last month" in a way that lets them know "oi, git, I signed up, fix it."

If not, they can wait.

Ontopic of passing cars I was once getting a bus back from my ex girlfriends house at about 9 at night, it was fucking bitter freezing so I just sat in the bus stop shivering like mad bear in mind that this road im on is one of them long ass main roads that leads into a town centre. all of a sudden a fucking corsa bombs down, and as he flies past some dickhead in the car launches a tin of heinz fucking beinz at the bus stop literally missing me by a few inches, smashes right through that plastic-y window and speeds off. It all happened so quickly, but the bang it made scared the shit out of me. I'd imagine it would of hurt with the speed he was going, and the throw turned the can of harmless beans into a fucking baseball going 90mph

I wish you managed to grab his license plate. cause that, coupled with the heinz can smashed into the bus stop would be evidence enough to get him fucked up by the police. if nothing else, I'd have told the police about it to at least have them maybe shaft him in the future when he does dumb shit.

As if it broke the bus shelter plastic, that could have killed you. Death by a baked beans can launched out a Corsa window

if i end up dying cause a can of beans was lobbed at my head, i don't want a funeral held. i just want whoever witnesses my death to just drag me into a garbage dump and not tell anyone about it. would rather be thought of as missing than the kid who died via can of baked beans to the head.

Reminds me of when someone through a D battery at my head from like 50 metres away. Have a 3 inch scar on the top of my head and its been about 16 years since it happened.

[QUOTE=Chains!;52880676]Reminds me of when someone through a D battery at my head from like 50 metres away. Have a 3 inch scar on the top of my head and its been about 16 years since it happened.[/QUOTE] Was it a live battery or dead? I heard live ones actually hurt more.

[QUOTE=Clive;52882292]Was it a live battery or dead? I heard live ones actually hurt more.[/QUOTE] [URL="https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/34421/does-the-mass-of-a-battery-change-when-charged-discharged"]They weigh more if they're live/fully charged compared to dead ones - so it'd definitely hurt more[/URL]. Live batteries also don't bounce when dropped, but dead/dying ones do. It's really weird.

Sky is such a joke. I'm trying to use the sky go stuff to watch the F1. To use it on PC you have to install Microsoft silverlight which I'm pretty sure hasn't been developed for 4 years, and then you have to use internet explorer. It's 2017 geez, I'm having to use ancient browser. The fuck they doing with all their money. A subscription costs a fortune, the channels are full of ads, watching stuff on catch makes you sit through adverts as well And people moan about TV licence [editline]12th November 2017[/editline] And the quality is shocking, constantly dropping and coming back

The other TV providers don't charge for the service though and they work with whatever browser you like. It wouldn't complain if it was free I was just hacked off that I missed the beginning of the race

[QUOTE=Zenamez;52882565]Live batteries also don't bounce when dropped, but dead/dying ones do. It's really weird.[/QUOTE] This is actually a really neat trick, gonna have to try and remember it.

When I am king range rover drivers will be first against the wall

[QUOTE=RobL;52885157]When I am king range rover drivers will be first against the wall[/QUOTE] why do you hate success?

I'd ban raisins in food (especially coronation chicken) first if I was king. immediate priority first thing you may think I'm joking, but I'm not

I'd just buy a load of cannons and set of them off into a field, then resign and give someone else the job.

I'd ban that thick plastic packaging that requires scissors to open, hate that shit.

[QUOTE=Sonic Fan;52885475]I'd ban that thick plastic packaging that requires scissors to open, hate that shit.[/QUOTE] You're supposed to use a knife and cut around the bottom of the plastic where it starts to rise, that way it all comes off. Easy.

[QUOTE=Sonic Fan;52885475]I'd ban that thick plastic packaging that requires scissors to open, hate that shit.[/QUOTE] Especially when it's scissors in the packaging Last time I flew I bought some headphones at the airport and rushed to the plane, only to discover they were in a blister pack. They didn't have any scissors on the plane
