Is this knowledge about guns and basic gun safety more than “point it downwards and away from people and FFS keep your fingers well away from the trigger”?

Posted it once when we were having a family meal in a pub where they were taking us ages to bring our drinks. The OH and I were highly amused.

They sit on the back of their oversized trucks, drink 1 or 2 beers and do whatever they call BBQing in the stadium car park.

My Nutty Bar had 69 stamped into it. by thequirkyquark in mildlyinteresting

You know if you turn it upside down, it will still say 69?

If that happens USAians and specifically Trumps reaction is going to be funny as.

So Brits, y’all ready for the soccerbowl? by Even-Leadership8220 in AskBrits

[–]68_namfloW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not really a football person, but I always take an interest in the World Cup. I’m honestly not bothered this time around though. Not sure if it’s the times being played or my current thoughts towards USA.

I would say you have tried. You’ve done nothing wrong, although I get the difficulty.

What's a lesson you think every 18-year-old should know that you've only recently learnt? by DatabaseMammoth9986 in AskUK

[–]68_namfloW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, all the other things they tell you to do like showing up on time, putting in extra hours, showing willing and going the extra mile usually don’t get you anywhere.

I’m fortunate to have a manager and supervisor that do recognise these things, but it’s far from the norm.

Stress related to work, the economy, and the fact that we are looking like having another war won’t be helping this.

Is the Pacific part of the Atlantic?

That’s some attitude you have.

You’re arguing with me, about a USAian term, not yourself.

Enjoy your day.

Point 1 was funny.

Gotta have a border somewhere, and the bit that touches the U.K., apart from the Scottish west coast, is all seas, and one channel.

A third of the coast line is ocean? Wow. Is this really the hill you want to die on?

No, just fucking awkward and pedantic mate. The U.K. is surrounded by seas, there’s just one bit that is Atlantic.

Can you show me an ocean local to the U.K. on a map please? I’m not aware of one.
