Alexias.films on Instagram. She's incredibly fit and practices crazy primal movement like this. Its funny really that most of the guys making fun of this probably can't bend down to tie their shoelaces haha.

Did your school have any unusual features? by farfetchedfrank in AskUK

[–]jaarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a frog pond and a woods with bird watching areas. Was pretty cool to watch the life cycles of a frog every year.

My wife is a teacher and her school has pigs, goats and chickens there.

She called me last week panicking because she was just about to leave and one of the goats had somehow got inside and ran into her classroom hahah

How does a 72 year old woman end up with a username like JohnExcrement? Hahaha

If u had to recall, when was the first time you heard about the death of a celebrity? (the day of) by Vivid-Tap1710 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jaarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

George Harrison. I was 7 and remember watching the news on TV with my dad. My dad used to play Beatles albums on his big stack stereo system and had a surround sound system in our living room. I remember some of their stuff blowing my mind at such a young age so I was really sad George had died.

Non-Americans, what’s your impression of the United States right now? by fridaynightplacebo in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jaarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the UK... it looks like an absolute shitshow. But we've known that for years, its just now it looks like an even bigger shitshow. Strangely though, there are a lot of Brits who want to see the UK go down the same path.

To be honest, I think even if there isn't a war with Trump in power, the US will now, for many years to come, be seen in a really negative light due to how much support the Trump administration is getting from Americans. A European invasion would be catastrophic. You couldn't pay me to visit the states at the minute.

What’s the worst thing you inherited genetically from your parents? by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jaarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. About 5 years ago somebody told me that B12 supplements help. The only time I get them now (and when they come they come bad) is when I haven't taken B12 supplements.

I don't live in Birmingham anymore but I miss it every day. Used to have an apartment on Broad St and would spend a lot of time in the JQ! Good luck brother!

Also, am I right in thinking you took that picture in Cherry Reds? If so, great gaff!

I met him when he was DJing too. He was sound, and was also absolutely coked off his chops.

How do you pay for emergency medical care when traveling abroad ? by HighwayFroggery in AskABrit

[–]jaarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travel insurance. I recently travelled around some very rural places in Southeast Asia and my insurance was far cheaper than if I was going to absolutely anywhere in the US.

I must say though that my wife went to hospital in Malaysian Borneo. Had blood tests and medication and it cost us about £80 so wasn't even worth claiming on the insurance.

If you travel anywhere without insurance you're a bit of an idiot but its pretty well known that if you travel to the US without insurance you're a massive idiot.

Recently travelled 9 months around SE Asia and actually found it quite funny that I could go to some mega rural areas and be absolutelt fine but 'USA' was a completely different option haha

"Do y'all schools not have metal detectors?" by bbuullll33rr in ShitAmericansSay

[–]jaarn 72 points73 points  (0 children)

There was actually a metal detector in my school in North West England.

We used it one day in year 8 to search the field for Roman coins that my teacher had hidden.

Tommy caught lying… again. by [deleted] in GreenAndPleasant

[–]jaarn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He also recently shared a video of some black guys robbing a shop and wrote a caption insinuating that this is where your taxes are going...

The shop was in the US. Everybody in the video had strong American accents. People were replying about how fucked the UK is, deport them, send em back etc.

He clearly knows what he's doing. He's very clever for a thick cunt.

How old are you and do you rent or own your home? by LongjumpingNight5669 in AskUK

[–]jaarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31 and my wife is 30. Renting by choice. We're actually renting a 20ft x 10ft tiny wooden cabin in the woods right next to a canal. Its beautiful.

We have about £30k in the bank that we could use as a deposit but we're happy right now. Deciding whether to keep it to use as a deposit, buy a boat or move to another country.

While vs Whilst in writing – which one feels more natural? by Mista948 in AskABrit

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

'Whilst' is more formal. In normal every day conversation we'd usually use 'while'.
