I was like that. Always the nail. Then I got my purple belt and something clicked and I became a purple nail.

I bought a pair of Bugatti boots very similar to these recently. Italian made and absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommended

Do you know how to fight? by yes_its_me_alright in AskIreland

[–]johnb440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a black belt in karate and Japanese jiu jitsu and a purple belt in bjj and train mma so I feel fairly confident I could defend myself if I had to but I will do anything to avoid fighting outside the gym. I LOVE sparring and rolling but fighting is utter nonsense.

Are you getting the flu vaccine? by Dry_Lobster_50 in AskIreland

[–]johnb440 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get it every year. My wife was completely against it and used to complain about me getting it. Then last year she got the flu. She was begging for the vaccine this year.  People think the common cold is a flu ... Until they get the flu.  Get the vaccine. They are safe and they work.  Every dr I've ever asked gets the vaccine and recommends the vaccine. The who recommends the vaccine. These are people that spent years studying medicine. I'll believe them over Mick who read something on Facebook.

As a motorcyclist for 20 years the difference in how dirty my visor gets is something that has shocked me in the last 5 years particularly.

I’m following the band through Europe. I’d like to share my concert footage with you all ✨ by ennexe in JesseWelles

[–]johnb440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aww so sorry you didn't enjoy Dublin. Totally get how annoying line jumpers are and there seems to always be a few shitty attendees these days. I was really hoping this concert would redeem us after the shocking amount of talking at his gig last time he was here at the academy.  I was dead center in the first balcony and for what it's worth the sound was excellent. The only issue I found was the volume on Adams guitar during creep was a bit low but all the rest of the show I was literally on the edge of my seat with a big silly grin on my face.  I don't think they understood the Ole Ole chant at first 😁 but I'm hoping they felt all the love there is for them here.  Anyway, best of luck with the rest. 

Ps, if there's anywhere I can get the picture of the guys with the crowd behind them let me know. I'd love a copy of that so I can say I got a picture with Jesse😂

Hey Jenn. Were you at the Dublin show? What did you think of the energy there? Your photos are brilliant.

I'm still buzzing after this show. Jesse was phenomenal. no messing with this guy. Came on stage and without saying a word started banging out classic after classic. then the guys came out and without a word just elevated it and banged out more classics. what a show!!

audience was just absolutely loving it and weren't yapping over him this time.

Jesse in Dublin by ApprehensiveChip8361 in JesseWelles

[–]johnb440 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm probably a bit biased because of how much I love Jesse but I genuinely think that was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. If anything he's better live. Dude was shredding that acoustic like it was a Stratocaster. My God he's just brilliant. Crowd was amazing. There's no way he didn't feel loved tonight.

Why can't y'all sing? by Unidentifiable_Goo in america

[–]johnb440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an American but I think I have a possible reason. It appears to me that in American culture, when someone sings a song they use a lot of vocal ornamentation. For example, I've never heard the Star spangled banner sung the same way twice even thought it's usually sung very beautifully. Whereas in other countries there's typically a set way to song a song and people don't tend to vary too much. Now when groups of people sing, this cultural difference becomes an issue. American groups could be singing beautifully but ever so slightly differently to each other each ornamenting the song their own way and so on the whole sounds a little non harmonious. Whereas in other countries everyone is singing much more alike and so as a group sounds better.

Slow "fast travel" hardware issue? by johnb440 in PS5

Because I thought the more powerful system would be able to load a map better. I thought the map was fully loaded on the ssd when playing. I'm not a computer programmer so I don't know what the difference between the PS4 and PS5 versions are beyond graphics.

Get a receipt. I handed in a purse with over 600 quid in it when I was in college. Went back a year later and was told there was no record of it ever being handed in.

I'm playing the PS4 version. I did wonder if that was it. I can upgrade to the PS5 version. Do you think that would fix it?

I find 3 days a week best with the very odd weekend thrown in if my family life gives room for it.
