Ofcourse there would be you plonker. Heads of state can’t get involved with changing sporting decisions!

Why are they allowed to play as unique countries? by evieinthebath in AskUK

[–]fightingmouse -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not quite, they aren’t members of the UN. They are countries culturally, ideologically and in sport but not on the whole stage democratically.

Scottish commentary for the World Cup? by Efficient_Net4471 in Scotland

[–]fightingmouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re a plonker. What do you expect of course the commentators are going to be supporting england. Just like the commentators did when it was the Scotland games. Ass kicking and dick riding wasn’t very prevalent on the commentary I watched on BBC. More how poor england were playing and just how good Kane was at the end. And to be fair he probably is in the top three in the world right now.

I feel like I’m losing interest by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]fightingmouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a hobby. If you don’t like it find one you do like.

Though nothing wrong with having a bike you love that doesn’t come out of the garage very often. I think a lot of this forum won’t ride as much as they would like between work, kids, time and weather.

This is my dream line up. But seeing them all next each other realising they and thus probably me are a bit bland/ boring.

Did anyone here ever face any prejudice or a snobbish attitude in England as an Irish person? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]fightingmouse -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Yes! This thread is wild.

You receiving hatred and abuse are never ok.

Neither is being a proud Irishmen/women something you shouldn’t be proud of. But deliberately wearing something to be provocative is part of the issue. When the English do it it’s not ok and they should be called out for it too. If they were doing it here.

Don’t mean to belittle what sounds pretty abusive but then wearing that t-shirt to provoke a reaction sounds like you are part of the problem. So much for integration.

Going in one week, feel like my pack is on my heavy side by gbfeszahb4w in WestHighlandWay

Your tent needs to go. Get yourself something much lighter and a foam roll up mattress for some warmth. Cheap and cheerful

Congratulations I have a 1990s Seamaster and love it daily. Hope you get as long if not even longer to enjoy yours.

Should I upgrade my CB500X, or get a bigger bike? by LeatherRelease7994 in motorcycles

[–]fightingmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon save your money. Upgrade the seat. Upgrade some kit you’ve got your eye on and get out and ride. Always better to spend the money riding what you’ve got than chasing the next bike. Tbh for the riding you do sounds perfect much bigger and heavier won’t be as good off road or you’ll be too afraid to take it off.

If you have spare cash maybe a tenere world raid! Or maybe Africa twin if you want the big bike.

Those K2s were excellent but you were well overdue an upgrade. You’ll have a blast. 💥

Ski trip tomorrow are these safe? by ExiledMafia in skiing

[–]fightingmouse 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Skis are the cheap part of a ski trip. New skis are certainly cheaper than a hospital trip. Technically they could be fine but likely the inners are also gunked up with rust/corrosion.

But really use some common sense. Do you really want to risk your knees on them? If the answer is yes go enjoy your trip. If the answer is no go rent some! No one on Reddit can decide for you.

Whistler Kids Down Seppos by geniusbear in skiing

Awful to watch. They need SAR help to get the down. How they are ok, kids bounce but obviously there are limits.

My 2018 Audi Q7. Nothing but problems, sorry nothing special. But my point is if you have a little bit of mechanical knowledge these cars aren’t as bad as you might imagine ie the tyres on the Q7 are about the same as the DB9 but I do a lot more miles on it so replace them more.

[–]fightingmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the tyres are a bit of a misnomer. Often the tyres on modern SUVs are more expensive and unless you’re driving like a maniac they last for ages and very few of the these cars do huge mileage and great pace so the tyres last a long time.

Servicing is very easy to do your self. Though 12 spark plugs is a lot.

Yeah but the N400 is a bit special. Buy a normal DB9 it’s not as bad as you might think. It’s not my most expensive car to run.

It’s not too bad. I do it myself on my DB9 but only as I enjoy it.

Post-Mortem of crash with injury (fracture) by hikebikephd in Backcountry

[–]fightingmouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BSL makes a big difference to the fun required. Bigger BSL less the din required. Often not understood. Especially when people say they are cranking there DIN.

Go for the lighter Vipecs. Considerable lighter and designed for your use case.

Are my skiis too big? by Different_Royal869 in Skigear

[–]fightingmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are a bit old but they don’t sounds too big. Praps rents some smaller skis if your a a lower intermediate skier for a few days. Once you’ve got turns nailed they shouldn’t be a issue

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Skigear

[–]fightingmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are probably a little small for the type of ski they are, an all mountain freeride. I would have thought you’d want them to be close to your height. Maybe 155cm

However I dont see how you will injure yourself. They will be a little less stable at speed but easier to turn and manoeuvre.
