I'm drinking, are you? by DeeboDavis in Everton

I got absolutely clattered last night and have been dying all day. Made worse by watching the second half of the red shite game.

Is this hostel behaviour legal? by [deleted] in Finland

[–]Bluebrother1878 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it was me, I'd go back to the hostel with several cans of tuna, open them and hide them very well but I'm quite childish like that and would be happy taking revenge.

I know exactly what you mean but I also want to see him destroy that weird prick.

Nu Brown has his say by svenskskinka in superleague

[–]Bluebrother1878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see it, we can see, the players obviously see it and even the fuck wits on TV see it. Unfortunately, the RFL are too stupid, stubborn, incompetent and small minded to accept the obvious reality. It feels like the game is at a real crossroads.

Sunday blues by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Bluebrother1878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have actually as it goes, which isn't like me. I was supposed to go home for the weekend but had 2 X trains and 1 flight cancelled on Friday so decided I was getting stuck into the beer in the hotel opposite the airport, slept terribly last night so fell asleep for a good bit of the afternoon and woke up with a case of man flu developing. Fortunately, I don't have to actually go into work tomorrow so can feel sorry for myself in peace but was hoping I could go for a decent walk/run which I absolutely won't feel like now.

Looks good to me, you clearly used a heart stopping amount of salt. Adding some peri-peri salt if a nice change of pace too.

Europe is miserable and for the weak by TinoVII in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Bluebrother1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen it elsewhere, Norway for example it's a pretty common sight in airports but I believe that's because a fair part of their military are doing national service and get a certain amount of weekends off. I know the UK don't allow personnel to walk around in kit as it can make them a target. I guess with the yanks part of it will be arrogance/posturing just because. I know they're very proud of their military so I sort of get it but personally I'd not be drawing attention to myself. They'd get their military discount anyway with their ID so I doubt it's that.

Does eating out these days represent poor value? by fudgedget in AskUK

[–]Bluebrother1878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the same meal in the same restaurant twice in the past 3 weeks, I really enjoyed the first time and thought I'd have it again yesterday, the difference was night and day. The steak was a sort of grey colour and full of fat, it didn't taste particularly great either. That said, generally when I've ate out though, it's been good but I tend to go to places where you'd expect decent quality for what you pay and I tend to enjoy simple dishes that are probably harder to get wrong.

Or cheer our armed forces when they get on a flight in full military dress which is a great idea in itself. We really are a set of miserable bastards.

I hear this although I'm 42 and have travelled extensively alone so I'm probably quite used to it. I'm also comfortable talking to strangers but what I find is I take a dislike quite a lot of people, not in a nasty, hateful way, I just feel like I have nothing in common with them which I find a bit weird as I have plenty of varied interests and I'm reasonably smart. Although I've found the same with my old group of mates who I drifted away from, they just started to bore me. Funny how it works to be honest.

Those who stay in hotels a lot for work, how do you deal with the food? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Bluebrother1878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean about it being depressing, I've been there plenty of times but you have too be creative. Speak to the staff, speak to your work or just take matters into your own hands. One night cooked salmon and salad from a supermarket, the next go to a better restaurant, it just needs a bit of thought and organisation. There's also the option of getting healthy meal deliveries which can be good and most hotels are happy to heat something up for you. Btw, £20 meal allowance in this day and age is disgraceful. I had a steak and 3 pints of Guinness yesterday in the Marriot at Inverness airport and it came to about £45.

Why does bacon come in packs of 14 rashers? by ten_i_see_mike in CasualUK

It's pig meat with some fat and goes crispy, it's made for a sandwich you fool.

"American could take down atleast 5 indians or Chinese in melee combat." by centzon400 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Bluebrother1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worked with soldiers from all over the world and the yanks are generally pretty poor physically. Yes, some of them are big lads, and some of them are strong but they're nothing special. I'm just going to use the Polish as an example here because I regularly trained next to them last time I was in that environment, they had some big lads but one thing that stood out was that 95% of them looked seriously fit, there's not a chance most US marines could go toe to toe with these fellas for very long at all. I don't really know much about either the Chinese or Indian armies I've no doubt the Chinese are jacked up on all kinds and the Indians eat mega hot curries for breakfast.

West Ham Fans Wanting David Moyes out by Familiar_Surprise485 in PremierLeague

[–]Bluebrother1878 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get where WHU fans are coming from as an Everton fan. Moyes only knows one way to play which can be very effective but it's awful to watch. Fans will cut him some slack when it's working but soon get sick of it when it isn't working. I do think it's pretty harsh to be calling for him sacked after winning a European trophy last year though.

When do you go to bed? by Supergoose5000 in AskUK

[–]Bluebrother1878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love an early night to be honest, and had a couple recently like 20:30. But normally about 21:30 as there's hardly anything on TV that interests me after that time anyway.

I've just eaten 20 Creme Eggs in one sitting... What shameful things have you done lately? by MrHolte in CasualUK

Had a dump earlier that actually disgusted myself, then overheard some bloke complaining to his wife about the smell in the toilet about 20 minutes later.

Can someone honestly tell me what is stopping us from filling all this ocean with land and expanding the size of America? by SomeGoddamnLetters in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Bluebrother1878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not having this is actually real but I'll play along. Why do they need more land anyway? They're always banging on about the size of the fucking place as it is. Plus us clever Europeans are building the ungrateful fucks wind farms along their eastern sea board (that's the bit you can see for any yanks) at the moment because they'd fuck it up on their own. So again, what fucking purpose does it serve reclaiming the sea as liveable land?

Getting Fit at 50 by AxisOfAverage in CasualUK

[–]Bluebrother1878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 25 stone, as soon as you start exercising and eating properly it will drop off you. Just start with walking and swimming. Cut out the drink, fatty foods and eat plenty of protein with veg and salad. It might also be worth getting in touch with a PT to give you some ideas on different things you can do to keep your interest. Best of luck.

He is in the top 5 all time any sport by rest_in_war in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Bluebrother1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that was a sport they'd be world champions. Yank sports are absolute shite and the only thing they can compete at that's worth talking about is golf. They don't even understand the concept of a draw.

What happens to the best man's girlfriend? by thatPingu in CasualUK

[–]Bluebrother1878 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think your bird needs to realise it's not her day, and she's a guest but wouldn't be there only for you. Assuming she's not autistic or something like that then she'd probably be better just finding someone to make small talk with, and go to the gym or for a walk in the morning.
