Stereotypes How many real life "hard man" archetypes have you known ?

36 Upvotes

A Ray Winstone type.

Like the typical working poor lad who had a military dad and rough uncles. That played a rough sport (rugby, football) at a high level and decided to go into an occupation that monetized this trait (cop, bodyguard, soldier, bouncer/doorman, labourer, combat athlete, personal trainer, emergency responder or eventually actor lol).

How accurate is ‘Blue Lights’?

7 Upvotes

I’m an American watching Blue Lights. I have tried googling some of my questions but can’t really figure out the nuance. Are cops really this hated in Northern Ireland? Cops check their car for bombs every morning and sell their homes because of a random threat? I’m not fully understanding the marching band in S2? I have questions about religion and politics too and how it all intersects but that’s for another time lol.

Education What was your school's PE kit policy?

1 Upvotes

From talking to friends, seems like such a mixed bag. Some its just show up in something sporty, some have stupid strict rules and some had a different kit for every sport practically. Also I haven't been to school in 7 yrs so has it changed since then?

Food/Drink Where do you buy your protein powder and shakes?

Upvotes

I’ve recently started paying more attention to my workouts and nutrition, and I’m looking for a high-quality shake or protein powder to help increase my daily protein intake.

I’m mainly looking for a product suitable for use around workouts, something easy to prepare and with good nutritional value.

Which brands do you recommend for shakes or protein powders?

Are there any that taste good, mix well, and are worth the price?

I’d appreciate any suggestions from those who train regularly.

Is Ella Langley popular in your country right now?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I know this is a bit off-topic, but I was wondering if Ella Langley is popular in your country. She's the singer of "Choosin Texas," and it seems like she's been getting a lot more international attention lately, especially after Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham were associated with her music.

If you've heard of her, how well-known is she where you live? Is she getting radio play or showing up on streaming charts, or is she still mostly unknown?

Also, if you're familiar with her music, which songs are your favorites? Besides "Choosin Texas," I'd love to know which tracks you think are worth listening to. I'm curious to see how popular she is around the world and what songs fans from different countries enjoy the most.
