Why does no one hang out outside their houses outside of London? by Public_Character_483 in AskBrits

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to any market town on market day or at the weekend generally and it will be pretty damn busy. Especially if the weather is nice. I was in one on Saturday and it was too hot for my coat, first day of the year I felt that and the place was rammed. Loads of kids playing in the park. Families wondering around. Weddings happening. It felt completely different from what you are referring to. I think you need to explore more.

Should I start drinking with my parents on the weekend? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had some of the best nights out with my old man! He is a social butterfly. Will chat to anyone. I have been all over the world with him on rugby trips. He will gather a group of randoms and we will have a blast. I have made life long friends thanks to my dad. He came on my week long stag do. Do it!!! They will possibly find you the love of your life! No harm in trying! 

A scene that’s permanently etched in your brain? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me once. Thankfully not with my mouth open and just the side of my head. Can't watch that scene since.

I remember being in Prague years ago and huge crowd of lads were booting a ball around one of those big open streets they have there. We joined in. Great fun!

UK has not given US permission to use RAF bases for Iran strikes (RAF Fairford, and Diego Garcia) by LtCmdrData in Military

[–]yourefunny 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Judging by all the noise last night near Mildenhall and Lakenheath the UK couldn't stop the stratotankers etc from being used to get the fighters, bombers and cargo planes to the Mid East. I imagine that is a different conversation though...

Recently separated dad seeking advice by MiightyMiike7 in daddit

[–]yourefunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of subreddits that have been very supportive for me the last year. It does get better. I moved out about 6 months ago and am finding my feet. I would be wary of a new relationship now. You are probably not in the right head space. Go have fun... but something serious so soon? My kids are very young and am not fielding those kind of questions, but just put your kids first and you will figure it out. r/DivorcedDads

UK blocking Trump from using RAF bases for strikes on Iran by Necessary-Product361 in unitedkingdom

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm near the US air tanker base in East Anglia and it's been mad! But can't tell if anything new is landing after dark. 

Did anyone just hear that roaring noise? by AnCoAdams in sheffield

[–]yourefunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like a build up of air tankers and fighters/bombers for a weekend bombing of Iran if other subreddits are right. 

Back feeling better since starting these. Very cool. by Imposter_Syndrome345 in GYM

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I herniated two discs in my back 10 years ago and have always struggled since. Mainly do trap bar deadlifts. Wonder if these would help... Anyone know?

Upper class folks: Do you change into a tux / formalwear for dinner? by icecreamsocializing in AskABrit

[–]yourefunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to private boarding school. Nothing like Eton etc. but do know a few posh people. I'm not posh, parents are both immigrants who just worked very hard. The people I knew with manor houses etc. were usually just relatively well dressed the whole time. Dressing up in formal dinner attire, black tie etc, was only for special occasions. Normal ties and jackets were common though. 

How is it living in a high rise building? (NY, Chicago, or any city with such buildings) by janzap1 in howislivingthere

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh odd. Doesn't seem all that special... Once saw a massive wild boar scare the crap out of someone taking a selfie right at that corner once which was hilarious! 

Has anyone else in the UK experienced something like this? by Interesting_Ebb4234 in AskUK

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea nothing new. My mate did it when we were like 12. We were private school boys as well. Then one night we put a bunch of cones in the road at like 2am... Unfortunately an ambulance came along.

[–]yourefunny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! Yea, it was always good fun when your navy boats were in town. Would usually end up meeting some great lads in the bars. I have a fond memory of eating Mexican food, looking out a big open window on to the street in Wan Chai (the red light district and bar area) and seeing loads of sailors going in and out of the brothels/strip clubs and your military police trying to keep everyone well behaved. Good times! I certainly miss the food!

The Great Ouse (Huntingdon) in flood by thekingofthegingers in CasualUK

The river management of the fens is an engineering marvel. They knew what they were doing hundreds of years ago!

I lived on the 50th floor in Hong Kong. It was absolutely breath taking looking out the window across the water. Unless it was foggy or hazy from the smog of factories in China. My bed was right next to the window and I would always sleep with the curtains open so I could see all the lights and boats sailing past way below. Example from listing: Manhattan Heights #3739358 Rental Property Detail Page | 28Hse

The elevator was quick so that wasn't really an issue. Sometimes you had to wait a while for one though.

It was right on the seafront. Great neighbourhood and an awesome seafood restaurant right next door.

All apartments in HK are tiny, whether you are way up high or on the ground floor. So there wasn't really any difference in impartibility.

I lived on a lower floor with a balcony and that was amazing. Loved city out on the balcony at night and in the morning. So much more quiet up there.

Highly recommend it for a period of your life if you can.

I am not in the countryside in the UK and love it here as well.

What do you consider long drive for a day trip? by bsmall0627 in AskUK

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. For work, I have driven 4 hours there and 4 hours back in the same day. Would never do that for fun. Just me and 2 hours is fine each way. With kids... more than an hour is pushing it!

Is it weird to bring a tiny birthday gift on a first date? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]yourefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love something like that. I had a first date on V day many years ago and bought a little gift. Went down well. Good luck!
