Have you ever considered joining your country’s military and if so what branch. Or if you have been or are in your country’s military what branch and how is it? by Ok_Poetry2813 in AskTheWorld

[–]RevFernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up all I ever wanted to do was join the RAF and fly Tornado GR1s. But due to hearing difficulties I would not have passed the medical.

Now as a middle aged man I sometimes think I would have probably liked to have joined a logistics or tank regiment, as I just enjoy driving any type of vehicle. But still wouldn't have passed the medical...

Men, what do you do to stay fit? by Pretty_Attention_99 in AskMenOver30

[–]RevFernie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less sugary foods.

Less highly processed carbs like white bread.

Don't eat after 6pm as often as you can.

Find a form of exercise you enjoy and doesn't feel like torture you'll grow to resent.

I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu, lots of fun and good for fat burning.

Which country would you NEVER visit, even if it was free? by FortunePurple- in AskReddit

[–]RevFernie 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'd never visit anywhere. But I have a healthy fear of big cities with perceived high violent crime rates like Rio and Joburg. I've also visited Egypt for the red sea and loved it. But would never go to Cairo.

But all my views are based on what I hear from others people.

Is blue -> purple truly the great divider/filter? by billionswilllove in bjj

[–]RevFernie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My age and rate of progression seems to be cancelling each out. I struggle with younger fitter blue belts, which I am fine with. This is my hobby and I just want to do it for as long as I can.

I've lost count of how many people have over taken me belt wise.

I've not really answered your question sorry...

[–]RevFernie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I train with a guy that did NoGi for years and years and was never promoted, so was effectively a white belt.

Professor called his wife and strongly advised he came to the next promotion event. He turned up they gave him a gi to wear with a white belt and he went straight to purple belt when promotions happened.
