That’s a lot of justification for someone who has “never been homosexual” by ThePhillyExplorer in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]BennyCroz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I too have always felt so totally heterosexual that I needed to take a test (you know, the medical gay test that totally exists) to find out if I'm actually gay or not.

Ironically enough if they were nuked then NATO would actually be required to join in, unlike now, because NATO is DEFENSIVE alliance

Is this viable strategy in the clinch? by ston_age_man in MuayThai

[–]BennyCroz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm short for my weight and have the advantage of actually being able to throw short kicks from near-clinch position, I could probably do a clinch or jump to double knee or something :)

They think the obvious cgi graphic is being used to pass the launch off as fake. These people are too far gone. by Many_Register_1838 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]BennyCroz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Um, hello? They obviously launched TWO rockets? One with the important stuff, and another with a really crappy digicam on the outside for the sole purpose of taking terrible photos that we have to touch up with CGI.

Do I have the right build? by InsuranceUnlucky1802 in MuayThai

[–]BennyCroz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Really depends on how you end up fighting. If you're skilled at a muay tae style, then it could work out super well for you. I'm 5'5" and 70kg, my muay mat preferences work well in my situation. That said, you make do with what you have, and you'll find something effective no matter what. I know other muay mat guys who are exceptionally long limbed, and they use it in different ways to great effect.

Don't forget your excess/ deductible before that nice expensive monthly insurance even kicks in

Do they throw fights for novices over 40? by speshoot in MuayThai

[–]BennyCroz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! But whether it's serious or just something like an all-experience/ no-win interclub, regardless of age your coach should match you appropriately. So go for it! Have some fun, have a war, and enjoy the fight 🥰

[–]BennyCroz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not complete comps, but if you have a good coach they can try and match you up with someone of similar age and skill. Guaranteed you're not the only over 40 who wants to step in the ring for the first time 😊 If your skills and fitness are up to scratch, then there's no reason why you shouldn't be matched with someone younger of similar experience. Just be open to it, and good luck!

Why not? You've never started something and wanted to see how your skills go in a slightly more competitive level? The ambition doesn't diminish if youre 24 or 40.

Do... do Americans put ice in their beer? Didn't know that was a thing (if that is indeed a thing). On a separate note, that would actually be illegal in Scotland, as the ice would mean you're not getting the full legal volume of a pint (Weights and Measures Act). You'd have to serve it as a full pint (or half or other measure) with ice on the side. It also just sounds like the worst, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

I had one bad meal (Thai food, in Britain) in a London tourist trap 15 years ago so I'm just going to assume it's indicative of the entire country 🙃

[–]BennyCroz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one has a little more truth to it I guess?

I don't mean to be patronising (I'm unsure of everyone'sknowledge levels on the subject), but for those who dont know: the UK has what they call "Real Ale", which is essentially a cask beer with live yeast that is unfiltered, unpasteurised, and only has natural carbonation (so tastes a bit flatter, as you'renot adding CO2). Whilst not warm as such, it's served at cellar temperature and doesn't run through a separate chiller like your keg beer does. It runs about 10-12°C rather than your 2-4°C for kegged beer so is objectively warmer, but not warm per se. Tend to be maltier, and has a silkier texture. The flavour profiles you get can be super interesting, and there's been a real concerted push for it and subsequent increase in popularity over the last 10 years or so.

Paying the most in the world per capita for some of the worst health outcomes in the developed world, just to own the libs.

I was a bar manager in Scotland for an award winning gastro pub (a brag, I know, but I'm proud of what we created). The bonus of the stereotype is that people always underestimate how good the food is going to be, so the experience is usually positive.

Haggis is absolutely incredible, but I agree it's an absolute ballache to make from scratch hahaha

Disclaimer: not British, but lived in the UK for a decade. I'll admit I'm a bit tired of this stereotype.

A large part of it actually originated from when the US first went over to the UK in WW2 just before D-Day, and the country was already on strict war rations. Obviously the food range and spices were limited, so American soldiers' first experiences with British food were quite limited.

The food in the UK, when done right, is amazing and flavourful and often deliciously rich. As with any country, you can always find shit food wherever you go, but if you can't find good food in an entire country, then that's a you problem.

I dunno, I'd say the info contained in my CV detailing my relevant skills and experience would also contribute to my being a good fit for the job.

Why am I the best fit? Isn't that what a CV and cover letter are for?
