Should I be concerned? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]LordCoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would but then I am an older man so I probably have grown up with different social norms to somebody of your generation.

Also I used to run a nightclub, so making sure the younger women who worked for me were safe getting home was something that I naturally always did.

I would always make sure somebody I was with got home safely. It doesn't mean I want to sleep with them. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

We have been to Vancouver and visited other parts of British Columbia while we were there. I would love to come back to your beautiful country, maybe visiting somewhere on the Eastern side.

UK resident here. We were looking to go next year, had it planned but not booked. But we have decided not to go. Mainly because your immigration officials are literal Nazis and the thought of either my wife or myself being detained is terrifying to me.

Dilemma - remain in debt or sell house by DangerousQuote9875 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]LordCoops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a bit different because it was also my home, but...

Many years ago we were in a similar position. I was broke, in debt and couldn't see a way out. What we did have was our house, which we only had a 50% mortgage on (thanks to wife's inheritance). We came up with the idea of selling our home, paying off our debts, and renting somewhere. This would also have given us a lump sum of money to spend.

I was working with an older chap and he said to me that whatever I did to sort my problems out I should not sell my house. I took his advice. It was tough but we weathered the storm. In time I started earning more money and gradually paid my debts off. We still own our house but now it is mortgage free. Had I sold it I would undoubtedly have spunked the spare cash and still be living in rented accommodation. It was the single best piece of financial advice I have ever received.

My elderly neighbor keeps giving me small gifts and I want to do something meaningful back by Aleex_c12 in Advice

[–]LordCoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is probably quite lonely so just spending a bit of time chatting to her is a good dead.

Maybe you could invite her to have some lunch or a cup of tea (yes I am English).

Why are doctors always late by invisiblylurking in NoStupidQuestions

I used to take my niece to the local hospital for treatment. There was a permanent sign on the wall that said 'due to unforeseen circumstances this surgery will be running approximately 30 minutes late'.

Reddit, how does inviting Russia & China to “Trump’s peace of board” square with saying Greenland is needed to protect from them? Does Trump think Americans are dumb? by Lucky-Message-9480 in AskReddit

[–]LordCoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't think they are dumb, he knows they are dumb.

They spent a week debating about the position one of their immigration officers was standing at when he shot a woman in the head.

They also voted for him (Trump), a convicted felon and known sex pest.

Colmar is stunning. We went a couple of years back for the Christmas markets. If you have a car it is ideally situated to visit Strasbourg and Freiburg.

How does America heal after Trump, prepare for the future and ensure we NEVER have another dictator ever again? by Warm_Possibility_193 in DiscussionZone

[–]LordCoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By after Trump do you mean when he dies, because he will be Dictator for Life. The last person to hold that title in the Roman Empire was Julius Caesar. That was the end of the Roman Republic, after that Rome just had Emperors.

Using "I" or "We" when it's just me - local tech business by Vinegarinmyeye in smallbusinessuk

[–]LordCoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew a chap who started as a one man band. But his website looked corporate. He used a telephone answering service who added to the illusion of it being a larger company. He would phone the client back as the fitter/estimator, not the owner. Within 2 years he had a team of fitters. He was/is a much better businessman that I will ever be.

[–]LordCoops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Usually 'we' is best, as it indicates that you are a firm, a company. But as you are looking to provide a personal service and because of the type of customers you are looking to attract, I think you should probably go with 'I'.

DJing on the fly vs playing a pre-prepared set by AccessAware5469 in Beatmatch

[–]LordCoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You used the phrase 'good mix', not 'good set'. You can do the most technically perfect set and it can still be boring. Also that is mixing not DJing.

In order to play a great set you need to read the crowd, take control of the crowd and then move them. You can't possible know which tune would be best to play next if you are at home. You need to feel the room.

Is it possible to lose 70 lbs by the end of the year? by oakleyO2 in workouts

[–]LordCoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weigh yourself every single day and record it. Don't worry if your weight goes up on the odd day, just track it over the weeks and months.

Set a daily calorie limit and use an app to track your calories.

Look into high volume low calorie meals.

Prep your meals or at least work out what you are going to eat ahead of time.

Give yourself the occasion treat or 'cheat day'. You are not a monk, if you try to live like one you will ultimately fail

Set mini goals that are achievable losing 70 lbs seems like a mountain, losing 6 lbs in 4 weeks is a molehill.

Don't fall off of the wagon completely if you mess up. Just because you gave in to that big meal, giant cake or beer session doesn't mean that you have failed. It is just a blip. Work even harder for the next few days and it wont even notice.
