They have Bundaberg's ginger beer, peachee, lemon lime & bitters and all the other flavors too. The only thing I have a hard time sourcing in the US is real Milo. Fortunately my friend travels to Australia often enough that he picks it up for me whenever he goes

Yeah, this is fairly normal for the UK - they're just normal people on a Saturday night. I wouldn't read too much into it; it's just modern British fashion and life.

Pretty sure we've been over this ground before, though. British food is perfectly good if you go somewhere worth going to eat it.

Since I really quite enjoy fried foods and sausage and tend to be a bit suspicious of vegetables and green things I suspect I'd get along just fine in england. We do also like to make tea with saltwater over here.

Wrar posted:My wife got me a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990s for my Birthday and I have to say, the sound stage on these things is loving awesome. I'm using them at work because I need to be able to hear the techs on the floor around me. Love my DT-990s! Drive them with an HTR Headstreamer. Mine are the 250ohm and the Headstreamer is almost a little too weak for them (I have to turn the volume up to near 100% for them to be loud) but they sound amazing. I love loading up some of 19bozzy92 videos on youtube in high def and drooling from the auditory pleasure. Also, not that I have any time since having kids, but the DT-990 sound stage is so accurate that playing online fps games it feels like cheating being able to tell exactly where someone is from audio clues.

I have a pair of Sony HDR-7506s that I really like but the jack or wire is loose so it usually comes out only on one side now. It looks like it'd be really easy to fix if I had a soldering iron / knew how to solder.

Cadbury's is ok but it is not as good as german or belgian chocolate. Once I discovered chocolates that weren't Hershey's, it's been difficult to go back. Particularly after I learned of "dark" chocolate. Hershey's milk chocolate, and really, milk chocolate in general seem weak, and yeah, I can taste the butyric acid now, drat it.

Darchangel posted:How... What? Impact? Sanding disk? It looked like it had been left in a field for 30 years to oxidize the paint, then driven through a mile of thorne bushes. I didn't feel like saying how bad he hosed up in front of the lady who owned the vehicle, so I left it at saying I wouldn't know where to even start fixing that. That car needs a full respray now. This same guy has now warrantied 3 alternators, but refuses to fix the loving bare copper wires twisted together on the harness to the alternator, because he says its totally not causing the problem. Luckily, I came in after that part, because thats the last alternator he'd be getting under warranty and would be told to gently caress off when he demanded labor reimbursement for his time.

funny Star Wars parody posted:I get to sit in them every day as I play with the infotainment system making sure they work and Jesus fuckton christ I'm pretty sure I would kill a man to own one It kinda makes me crazy. Like: 1. I love Fords but their options pricing makes me loving murderous. Nav and climate control cost $2340 on a Shelby despite the fact that a 400 dollar ipad and 200 dollar Nest thermostat have 10x the functionality. 2. A base Raptor is a screaming loving deal at 50k but they won't exist for the next two years because every one they manufacture will have heated back seats and a heated steering wheel and a $1000 carbon fiber package and $1200 wheels so they'll MSRP at 62k+ and then get ADM'd to 72k+. 3. They want $495 for a tailgate applique 4. They want 2 grand for some vinyl stuck to the hood and bed. 5. They want 10 grand for the package that includes the limited slip front diff.
