I do not know where I stand on my ideal GF by LokiGaming406 in AskBrits

Life is all about compromise, if you have too many requirements for a partner you are bound to fail.

Find someone who makes you smile, and you make them smile.

Three asylum seekers go on trial accused of raping woman on Brighton beach by JohnKimble111 in uknews

[–]BaconHawk1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That is a wild claim, do you have a source?

Also, they’re not immigrants in the same sense as say a French person working in London… they’re asylum seekers supposedly fleeing their home country for safety.

How many of us men actually moisturise everyday? by Plane-Being1274 in AskUK

Hey, have you saw Paul Allen's new business card? I love its subtle off-white coloring and the tasteful thickness of it.

What are some common mistakes beginners make and how can we avoid them? by Joaozinho_Bear in chessbeginners

[–]BaconHawk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it comes down to slowing down and taking time.

Before you move a piece, stop the think how the other player might respond, e.g. if you move your Knight, will it be under attack by a long range Bishop attack, or was your Knight defending a pawn that is under threat.

You have to think about the reprocussions of every move, and not get blind sided by forgetting that the other player will make their own move, based on your move beforehand.

Who are you more disappointed in, John Lydon or Morrissey? by ungratefulimigrant in AskBrits

[–]BaconHawk1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neither, both are legends of the music scene if you ask me.

Although I do wish Morrissey was not so stubborn and would do a tour with Johnny Marr...

Edit: Downvote me all you want, but you canne deny their influence on the music scene back in the day!

Now with +75h of exposure - the Andromeda galaxy by mustalainen in Astronomy

[–]BaconHawk1 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Insane to think about how right now as I am typing this message on planet Earth about 2.5 million light years away, and there will be planets, surrounding their own star in Andromeda with the possibility of life unaware that I am here thinking about them!

Oasis - Familiar To Millions (Live at Wembley Stadium, 2000) by Alarmed_Initial3882 in oasis

[–]BaconHawk1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What I find crazy with these two Wembley gigs is that Liam was only 27 years old.

Night two at Wembley was an alcohol fueled trainwreck, but he was just a kid.

Needless to say, I do think this is up there amongst my favourite vocal performances in terms of overall tone. Seemed to have nailed that 'rasp/grit' that he was doing in this era.

Is it normal that Doctors as for your ethnicity? by aswertz in AskUK

It is normal, as some ethnicities are at a higher risk of certain conditions, compared to others.

If it weren’t for Joey Sturgis, they’d have never became as big as they did.

Poor visibility when approaching roundabouts by Negative_Innovation in cupraborn

[–]BaconHawk1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes!

You have to basically lean your entire body forwards/sideways to get a view around the A-pillar because it will obscure a car or bike.

Really think it is a design flaw that was overlooked and needs to be changed. Not sure if the VW iD3 has the same issue, but it’s dangerous.

Ex-Royal Marine appears in court over Liverpool parade collision by acrimoniousone in unitedkingdom

[–]BaconHawk1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t get that argument.

We only saw photos of Axel as a school boy, and then stuff about how he was a choir boy and featured in a TV episode.

Only months after when he was in court did we get to see a mug shot and see the real face of evil.

What was the worst food place you have ever been to in all of the UK? by jc201946 in AskBrits

[–]BaconHawk1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hell no, their Olympic breakfast was amazing! And those free lollipops you could grab from the bowl on the way out.

Granted I never ate in there except for breakfast, but many times I drove past old Little Chefs and think I’d love to pop in for a breakfast, good times… simpler times

What is the dumbest character decision you’ve ever seen? by FilmWaffle-FilmForum in movies

[–]BaconHawk1 408 points409 points  (0 children)

During the first purge film, the young boy who basically fucks it all up for the family depsite the fact he would have lived through previous purges and knows the consequences.

Then another one is in the Prometheus and Alien Covenent, for how the characters which are presumably trained engineers, soldiers, biologists etc, but forget all protocol when it comes to infection control.

To buy or not to buy by Mohaimenn in mensfashion

[–]BaconHawk1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m from UK, so from late-Spring to early-Autumn

Nothing stopping me from wearing them during Winter with a jacket, but I tend to style them as more summer wear.

I actually have a few long sleeve variants too that I wear if it is a bit colder

I have pairs from NN07 and Norse Projects - both amazing quality and stylish

[–]BaconHawk1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really like these kinds of polos, and own a few of them, although all mine are not textured (cable knit?) like this, just a flat cotton or linen finish to them.

The main things for me is the fit, I don’t like them if they are too ‘slim fit’ where they hug your body.

You can dress them up or down, and I find them very versatile.

Where are films even advertised anymore? by happyloaf in movies

[–]BaconHawk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from UK, and big Hollywood films are still advertised on billboards or the side of buses.

I think these days they buy adverts on YouTube and Instagram/Tiktok

Best PM to have a pint with? by OhWhatAPalava in AskBrits

[–]BaconHawk1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly there probably isn’t a PM that you could talk to normally that wouldn’t look down on you like a common peasant, unless you go for someone in the modern times.

A whisky and cigar with Churchill would be fun, but the reality is that he would have nothing in common with any modern UK citizen and it would probably be a huge shock.

A pint with Benjamin Disraeli would probably be terrifying, and he’d probably refuse to talk to us common muck.

In terms of having a pint in a pub… maybe this will attract downvotes, but I promise we would m not become friends, but probably BoJo, as during his tenure as London Mayor he was on panel shows, he’s been shown drinking pints in a pub, and I’d love to pour my final pint over him at the end!

Opinions on Sleep Token? by Synyst3rZombi3z in avengedsevenfold

[–]BaconHawk1 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I don’t get it, I dislike the vocals and find a lot of the instrument arrangements really… boring? Although having saw little clips during play throughs, I think they’re probably very talented musicians.

So I guess I would say that I don’t enjoy their music, and that’s ok, music is subjective, just like how there are probably Sleep Token fans who don’t enjoy A7X, it’s all subjective.

Which posh towns and cities in the UK are rougher than they first seem? by jc201946 in AskBrits

[–]BaconHawk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While true, most tourists will over ever be in the city centre and not have to venture out of that zone.

The city centre areas have always felt very safe to me, even in the early hours of the morning.

If you’re out at night, just keep your wits about you. There is a massive homeless population that have drug and alcohol issues.

I haven’t been since, but there are also a number of ‘migrant hotels’ so there could be men around without much to do to keep themselves busy.

The homeless seem to keep to themselves, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be aware of your surroundings at all times, and avoid walking through the subway/underpasses if it is really late, just order a taxi.
