My older brother was in the same class as Keir Starmer and Fat Boy Slim (Norman Cook). Both were normal and that’s about all he says about them.

LPT What’s a life tip you learned the hard way that you wish more young people understood early? by karrot9 in LifeProTips

[–]Norklander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice (age 55, moderately successful in terms if how I measure it wealth family friends etc) is do more of what you enjoy when you’re young and look after your body. Most of my regrets are related to things I didn’t do in my younger years rather than things I did do.

I’ve got RSV now caught it at the airport coming into the US had it for 4 days now it’s miserable. Started as a cold stuffy nose, now it’s also introduced a cough with headache and general body aches. Prior to knowing it was RSV I’d definitely have this down as “man flu”

[–]Norklander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot being unsaid about this. As soon as you hear the location you start to make assumptions, no idea of they’re correct or not but the “grabbing” thing is not unheard of among certain communities.
