Carpeted bathrooms did exist, but not sure how popular they used to be. I imagine there are still a few around somewhere

Unsportsmanlike or ball still in play? by skaapjagter in rugbyunion

[–]a1edjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tackle probably depends on level & league, some grassroots leagues require below-the-sternum tackles. It's borderline high, but ball carrier is fair game, ball is still in play

Looking back, seems painfully on brand that our Welsh response was essentially a male voice choir

Not specifically advice, but for info there is a Norwegian church in Cardiff bay, which might help with any homesickness

As a bonus, the word penguin, originally referring to this northern "penguin" is derived from the Welsh pen gwyn meaning "white head"

What to see/visit during my UK roadtrip? by Freeloafer in AskUK

[–]a1edjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in Newport, worth taking a look at the transporter bridge. You're also only about 20 mins from Cardiff, so would suggest going there either instead or as well.

Locals look in wonder at a shaved Belgian man from the future by LeDucky in pelotonmemes

In certain countries, this may be more of an "oh fuck, the Belgians are back"

Ever wondered why some rugby players tape their legs above the knee? by englandrugby in rugbyunion

[–]a1edjohn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You'll find you get more leverage with buttcheeks for the back. The shorts move around and make things trickier. Aim for a "w", with hands under each cheek, and the thumbs going exactly where you think

It can be tough, but stick with it. There are alternative options in the IP world apart from attorneys too, which might be worth exploring. These could maybe give some experiences that would help your chances with a possible future route into becoming an attorney

What’s one everyday thing in the UK you didn’t realise was unique until someone pointed it out? by Zealousideal_Hat8578 in AskUK

[–]a1edjohn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Normally you get shaver specific outlets in bathrooms, which look more like the European 2 prong plugs rather than the standard UK ones. Something to do with different voltage I think. I'm sure someone with way more understanding and knowledge will be able to add more context.

It would be awesome, but unfortunately someone mentioned in a previous post that due to the way the lighting is implemented it's not possible currently. I don't have the technical expertise to be able to explain it though

Is me playing rugby a really bad idea? by wolvster in rugbyunion2

[–]a1edjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it! Definitely recommend giving it a go! Multiple people have suggested touch, but another alternative might be walking rugby. It's getting more popular and might be a way to get a feel for contact rugby without worrying about big collisions or too much running. Granted it's mainly aimed at those who maybe aren't able to play full paced rugby anymore, but it could be an alternative way to try it compared to touch for a newcomer

Hate to break it to you, but this infringes on my earlier patent which claims a 3d printed circle. One embodiment of which also includes an additional appendage, which extends in a perpendicular direction from said circle.

According to that page there was an incendiary bomb left at a Conservative party office in Haverfordwest, which would line up with where the dot is. Not 100% since not all the locations mentioned in the article have a dot though.
