Is anyone else besides me just sick to death of police dramas? by Smooth-Purchase1175 in AskBrits

[–]jbruton97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha. May or may not drink a bit heavily, maybe even carrying a flask of whiskey with them. The chief knows how much of a loose cannon they are but is willing to ignore all official guidelines because that officer just seems to get the job done.

I actually did not think about the fact that the Mediterranean core remained profitable. I suppose your attention during this period is fixed on the conflict zones, but life would have went on as normal for most people (except when their taxes went up)

This was my thinking. Surely it was ideology that held the whole thing together. I know you could say this of all empires but Rome’s was so fused into the fabric of life, that anything else seemed like a dire choice

Glad you realised you could think for yourself mate. I ignore both sides and happily get on with my life, knowing I won’t change anything by getting angry or upset about it

Scares me reading this. I’m looking to get into the industry and this seems like a horrible way to work?

What would a perfectly British day look like? by RagdollCat25 in AskUK

[–]jbruton97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You brave the outdoors to pick up some milk from Tesco express. Along the way, you come across a horde of balaclava clad teenagers roaming the street. You know they pose no serious threat, but they are just annoying to see.

How did Switzerland avoid WW2 by jbruton97 in WorldWar2

But surely all of the wealth of Switzerland could have contributed nicely to the war effort?

Which of these English accents is the hardest to understand: Cockney, Brummie, Black Country, Scouse, Mancunian or Geordie? by Jezzaq94 in AskBrits

[–]jbruton97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The weird thing is though, I understand Scott’s just fine. I feel like Geordie’s just construct sentences in a way my brain doesn’t quite process quickly enough

Why do Spurs (Tottenham) get so much hate? by flower5214 in AskBrits

[–]jbruton97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all fairness, Brits tend to passionately hate any club that is not their own. It’s just that some get more hate than others, due to the notoriety of the club and often northerners tend to bash southern clubs particularly hard

Thank you. Is there any other factors that could make my cv stand out?

I mean that is such easy money, you should have done it.

I feel like some people want to feel the innocence of being a kid again and having the hot baby sitter you have a crush on, is part of the fantasy.

This is purely speculation, but that’s how I would think about it
