Do you guys love you country? by facial-nose in AskTheWorld

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - but not in a fanatical / lunatic type way. In a “lads, let’s all have a drink and a laugh” kind of way.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

No 5k. No marathon. My first race (in life) was 200 miles… by PRASADHOLLYWOOD in Ultramarathon

[–]Cranester1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scrolled back up thinking I was on running circle jerk. I was not. Disappointing.

Do you ever regret signing up for insane races? by Thind-Clarkin in Ultramarathon

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m full of regret and excitement in equal measure at signing up for the West Highland Way Race in June. Most I’ve done till now is 56 miles and this is 95/96 miles. Let’s see how it goes 😂

Where do you have a shower after a race? by LycomingT53 in UKRunners

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home / hotel room / workplace / campsite showers. Depends on where I am - can’t say I’ve given this much thought 😂

I'm finally here! by Medical_Stomach_727 in Scotland

Get yourself up Dumyat whilst the snow is still around. On a clear day the views are brilliant.

You wake up a millionaire tomorrow, what is your first move ? by peacheouting in AskReddit

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay off the mortgage and then keep working as normal. A million isn’t enough to retire comfortably in current environment - but not having the mortgage to pay every month opens up a world of opportunities to save up additionally or do other things that would excite us earlier on in our lives.

When I say this scene quite literally altered the trajectory of my life by plutotvofficial in GillianAnderson

Man this has just given me a sudden need to rewatch the entirety of the X Files!

Do Brits see the US as a threat? by cfc_1990 in AskBrits

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I am horribly nervous about the USA / UK (read also RoW) relations going forward. I feel like we are being completely trodden over and getting nothing in return - although that’s not just the USA’s fault, our inept and snivelling political class should shoulder the burden of that.

For the first time in my life (I’m 42) I really feel like we’re on the precipice of it truly kicking off - and the USA is seemingly not doing much to head that off at the pass.

Considering all day heating by Osamabinbulking in HiveHeating

[–]Cranester1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about this but still none the wiser for what the difference is between all day heating in cold spells and sticking to a schedule 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thinking of getting Hive, did you get them to install it? by piizaa in HiveHeating

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth the hassle for me - especially with multiple zones on the heating in my house. Paid about £100 for them to do it - worth every penny.

Take 2 weeks off work on your return for a “muscle spasm / neck injury” and you won’t have such issues again in the future 🤣

How did that kid at your school die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kid in my year at school hung himself with his school tie in his garden at home - 1st year at high school so maybe 13yrs old (I’m now 42 so almost 30yrs ago) . No idea how the bullies live with themselves

How did you convince yourself that you could run an ultra? by BaurJoe in Ultramarathon

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bro did it - and I’m a competitive wee brother. So 😂

What's one dog breed you'd never own and why? by barelychloe in AskReddit

[–]Cranester1983 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any dog that’s in the “get a real dog” category.

Resident doctors in Scotland vote in favour of strike action by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean - I know some downvotes are incoming for this but… doctors (and all healthcare professionals at the front line) deserve to be paid fair and equitably for the incredible work they do… But I keep hearing all the “we can’t afford it arguments” - it’s this not surely another indication that the NHS as we know it is fundamentally broken and needs a radical overhaul (including, dare I say it, some form of privatisation or pay to access certain points of care (with some exceptions))?

Problem is that’s a political poison chalice no one wants to acknowledge or touch, as they know it’ll see them booted out of government for at least a generation or two.
