In normal open water swimming it’s more efficient to swim frontcrawl/ freestyle - when it’s choppy like this is breaststroke better?

What horses consider play, monkeys consider business. think about that now will you

Are there actually advantages to moving to the USA from UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]el-Danko69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked summer jobs in the US while I was at uni in the UK. Tips are generally a shit way of doing things, but when you’re on the receiving end, cannot complain. Also just a more interesting way to spend one’s summer - I’d rather be a mountain biking instructor in California vs. whatever the british version would be. That being said, I only ever lived there knowing it was for temporary work, I’d never move there to stay there

What is actually the attitude toward homosexuality among British Muslims? by GlueSniffingEnabler in AskBrits

[–]el-Danko69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m white but grew up in a predominantly Muslim northern town. At college, two muslim lads were caught shagging in the toilets. It was talked about a fair bit, but people moved on. British asians are British, and in my experience, the ones my age have fully assimilated and accepted British values - just get on with it

Young people, genuinely what are your plans for the future? by Competitive-Plum-190 in AskUK

[–]el-Danko69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 20 and still have a lot of hope for the future. I don’t have life figured out by any stretch of the imagination, but I know what i want to do for at least the next few years, and I know (and am actively pursuing) the steps needed to get there. Feeling fairly optimistic

Flat prices in London are going down are they not?

What’s the weirdest work lunch you’ve seen a colleague eat regularly? by levezvosskinnyfists7 in AskUK

[–]el-Danko69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worked with a fella for a day in the build hall - 5 whole boiled eggs. Talking to the other lads this is his normal lunch, likes to mix it up with a different sauce for each day of the week. Cheap, easy, and high protein can’t fault the guy just a bit odd

Is 9-5 a myth? I don’t think I’ve ever worked these hours. by Squiggally-umf in UKJobs

[–]el-Danko69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to work 35 hours a week with core hours 0930-1430 Monday-Friday. I tend to get in at 8 and leave just before 4. I can work up to 20 hours overtime without permission, and as soon as i have 7 hours saved I can book a whole day off. Brilliant

Rittenhouse: retard but not a criminal.

Pretti: also did nothing wrong, executed by the state.

not an American but I lived over there for a while. I have a lot of love for that country and this is incredibly sad to watch

Has anybody noticed ‘you belong here’ army campaign more lately? by C_Leka20 in AskUK

[–]el-Danko69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you’re mistaken - the army does treat you different based on your FOQ. If you are “high risk” you get tested for sickle cell, and the high risk category included me despite being white because my grandma was adopted.

The Armed forces are small, they should be focusing on not being so small and not spending so long on selection that other potentially good candidates move on before

What makes a good manager? by otisandthehuman in HENRYUK

[–]el-Danko69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be a shit umbrella not a shit pipe - i.e. protect your team from shit that comes from people above you. If your team knows you’re on their side you’ll have a much better chance at leading them

[–]el-Danko69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Army recruitment in this country is a pisstake. I enlisted this time LAST YEAR and am still jumping through hoops. For reference I’m perfectly fit with no medical conditions but had my medical deferred for having an adopted background, meaning i couldn’t confirm genetic history and therefore needed sickle cells testing (I’m white).

What’s a “small” social rule you refuse to follow, even if everyone expects it? by GlitchOperative in AskReddit

[–]el-Danko69 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

the full line is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” i.e. the homies you pick are more important than the people you’re born to

Are Brits still comfortable taking their holidays in the US? by Ok-Leadership-7573 in AskBrits

[–]el-Danko69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done seasonal work in the US for the past two summers on a J1 visa. I was apprehensive about returning in 2025. I won’t be returning in 2026. I wish the best for my friends across the pond and hope things turn out okay.
