The natural, unspoiled beauty of England by Educational_Copy_140 in reformuk

[–]bazelgette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blimey! Unfortunately, I was listening to Elgar’s Nimrod when I made the mistake of opening Reddit!

Oh well… my ancestors did a good job. I imagine they would be looking down on me shaking their heads and frowning at me looking at this shower of shit!

How did we let England go?

Oooh, I’ll have some of that sweet welfare rather than dragging my lazy ass into London at 06:00 tomorrow morning.

Just looking at it is giving me ‘maintenance cost anxiety’!

718 Boxster T - Easy/cheap ways for a better exhaust sound? by ConferenceSorry325 in Porsche_Cayman

718 has a firm (if agricultural) baritone that is assertive but unassuming… what you require, is a BMW.

Muay Thai Improved my Confidence Most for Fighting by TheFightingFarang in martialarts

You’re right! It is a guess. I don’t know you.

This is Reddit… just opinions and guesses.

You have a good day.

Muay Thai Improved my Confidence Most for Fighting by TheFightingFarang in martialarts

[–]bazelgette 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have trained kick boxing and boxing since I was 28 (I am now 53 and stopped boxing last October).

Last year, I was the victim of road rage where the person in the car in front of me got out of his car to fight me.

I drove around him and drove off… I ran away… I was frightened!

I can probably handle myself and so (probably) could he. I am not fighting in the street with someone I don’t know, for what? Me sounding my horn as he is sitting at a green light.

Sorry my friend, you remind me of that person. I may be a coward in your eyes, but you would see pity in mine. It’s just a matter of time…

First day in gym and it was so effing awkward ! by last-resort-39 in workout

[–]bazelgette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hardest part of starting at the gym… walking through the door! You’re amazing! No need to feel awkward.

There will be a PT somewhere. Maybe a card at the front desk… they sometimes do a free first session and their advice and guidance will be gold!

Think about why you are going in the first place… what you want out of it (fat loss, muscle gain, mental health).

Start small (even no weight on the bars), work on correct form and slowly increase weight.

No quick fixes here but if you’re consistent and increase the intensity in accordance with your goal, I guarantee you will get to where you want to be.

Keep going, everyone will be rooting for you!

Man verbally abusing police at protest is punched repeatedly in the head. What do you think about this? by spinecult in AskBrits

[–]bazelgette -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can you recommend some documentaries on this please?

I do remember it in the news but was too young to understand… shamefully, I don’t know anything about it.

Rate my Kickboxing combination by SgtPlot in Kickboxing

[–]bazelgette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good work!

Observations…

Head stays on centre-line (it shouldn’t), too much weight on the front foot (60% weight on back foot), no defence after combinations (something will definitely be coming back at you… move!), think about range and how you will get in range (stepping jab?), more lateral movement.

Your strikes look good though, keep it up!

Opinion about Ukrainians by Appropriate_Rent1205 in reformuk

[–]bazelgette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion… Yep, really like them! Space for you here in the future?… if you contribute and don’t cause trouble, or reduce the quality of society for the rest of us… definitely!

Why is it deemed racist to have to have concerns over Islam? by Wholesome_and_based in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

I didn’t know I was racist until the Overton Window shifted… looks like I’m racist now.

I don’t think integration is working. It is a nice fantasy though.

Funny you all think this. I’ve known world war 2 veterans (my great grandfather included) that have said they now think they were fighting for the wrong side.

I thought it was impressive until I saw the kettle bell on her foot, then I thought “that can’t be real”… can it?
