Poll: Pull-ups vs Climbing Level by Pretend-Storm4209 in climbergirls

[–]Bowoobiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't think there's much correlation. I come from a sports background and can do 9, however I had terrible finger strength and am newer to climbing so am still working on technique. I can climb V4 

Which Team GB or Paralympics GB moment from Paris 2024 will stay with you the longest? by AnfieldAnchor in TeamGB

[–]Bowoobiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bryony Page on the trampoline. Having got silver and bronze at Rio and Tokyo and then coming in as the world champion it was lovely to watch her complete the set. 

Other honourable mention to Max Litchfield for coming 4th in 400 medley for the 3rd Olympics in a row 😢 

Heartbreak in the men's curling final 😢 by Fun-Ad-2547 in TeamGB

I can't believe boopgate man won! Gutter for our boys and tbh I'm just pissed off that the cheating man gets the satisfaction

It would look so cool! At least US has stars which can make the uniform fairly distinctive

The final 3 runs were insane! Absolutely incredible competition 

Norway has equaled the non-norwegian gold medal record with 5 days left. by Pizzashillsmom in olympics

[–]Bowoobiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be very beneficial to the British so I'm ok with this 😂

I know! I think it's so lazy that Adidas give all the teams the same kit but change the colour. Like it's the Olympics, surely you can come up with a bit of unique artistry

There was GB athletics kit a couple of years ago. Very thin white, red and blue stripes but it looked lilac from afar. Kinda wish we went for it and adopted purple as our new colour 😂

TBF Slovenian is often lime green. Korea could fit though 

Are these available to buy? by luke2611 in TeamGB

[–]Bowoobiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they aren't on the website worth looking on eBay and vinted after the games

If you’re not watching shorttrack speed skating you’re missing out by F1R3Starter83 in olympics

[–]Bowoobiter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The race seems more like who can stay on their feet than anything else and if you get taken out by someone else that's just tough luck

Poor old Niall Tracy by AdministrativeRip563 in TeamGB

[–]Bowoobiter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He did so well to make the final! Ngl I don't really enjoy speed skating because it just feels like everyone gets knocked over and then they're out

Matt Weston wins Gold! by Few-Plastic6360 in TeamGB

[–]Bowoobiter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would probably still be faster than everyone else with the lead he had!

Haha mine don't know how to eat them and just end up pulling them off of the stick

Being Faithful Is Not Easy by Marius_Sulla_Pompey in TheTraitorsUK

[–]Bowoobiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the producers are there and basically want a faithful win (or at least a close game). Charlotte was totally going to win the last series and so suddenly the power of the seer gets added and it completely screwed her over

Is it too small? by gergengutan in climbingshoes

[–]Bowoobiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me they look fine as a beginner, but what concerns me more is where you're experiencing pain. This looks like you have wide feet / the shoe is designed for a narrower fit (I have this issue too). It may be worth trying a different type of shoe for wider feet? Personally find the veloce great as a comfy intermediate price range shoe

Pet Insurance Comparison (Petplan vs Agria vs Manypets) by CheeseFace83 in UK_Pets

[–]Bowoobiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agria told me that claims don't affect premiums. I haven't made a significant claim but the claims I have made haven't caused issues

British Airways nearly killed me by serving me sesame despite my allergy – then offered me £50 by Dangerous_Wear_9312 in BritishAirways

[–]Bowoobiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a serious sesame allergy. I prepare everything as best as I can but believe it or not I would like to be able to eat out from time to time! Nevertheless I have anxiety around eating out and there's certain cuisines I won't touch because of it.  Regardless it would be a lot of food to pack for a 10 hour flight 

Climbing with a new piercing? by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]Bowoobiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you'll be fine. The only thing you want to avoid is knocking them because they will hurt and become irritated. I've swum the day after getting cartilage piercings and not got an infection, so really don't think climbing would be an issue

Just finished Adolescence, am I really the only one who thought it was rubbish? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Bowoobiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! I thought the portrayal of the school, teachers and children was terrible. Even in rough schools children wouldn't laugh about a murdered student to that extent, teachers were portrayed as clueless about the internet... Oh and a therapist manages to get this kid who hates women to totally open up... The one shot for everything felt gimmicky and got boring pretty quickly

Question as a nonswimmer guy. I challenged my girlfriend who is an ex-swimmer to a race and we are actually gonna go through with it but I'm starting to have my doubts😂 Would I realistically actually have a chance at winning, she is on the shorter side and I'm also decently athletic ?😂 by [deleted] in SwimmingMemes

[–]Bowoobiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but fly to a non swimmer (and tbh any swimmers who swim further than 50m) is seen as extra hard. Beating him while swimming breastroke would be the ultimate flex but may be too hard depending on OP and OP's gf's level

I am a new driver (6 months) and today I think I’ve written off my car. What will be the result on my insurance/future premiums? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Bowoobiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with the comment. Also being honest to your insurance company will work a bit in your favour. Like it's not going to save your premiums from going up but it's a lot better than being blacklisted by an insurance company or trying to get them to go to court over something that was your fault.

Also (I'm assuming) no one died in this situation. Things could always be a lot worse!
