We started the brand @xx_xyathletics 10 months ago. We've done a series of ads/films that have captured people's attention, hearts and minds.
Here they are in one place.
Our launch film called Stand Up got us banned from @tiktok_us for hate speech.
I detest smoking. It's an awful habit, terrible for your health and I urge anyone to quit.
But. At some stage, we have to trust people to make their own decisions.
If we banned any harmful habit, we'd be living very boring lives.
Where do we draw the line? Alcohol? Unhealthy food? Driving? Contact sport? Why even bother leaving the house at all?
The line of 'protecting' the NHS just doesn't wash. You're in a pub garden. If someone is having a cigarette a few tables away, you are not in any danger. At all.
'Protect' the NHS is the most dangerous slogan in my lifetime. I certainly don't want to see that toxic principle applied to all other areas of society.
Educate people, tell them the facts, and let them make their own decisions. We're all big enough and ugly enough to do that.
Outsourcing responsibility to Government has to stop.
It didn't work during lockdown, and it won't work now.
The woman you’re judging for being overweight has already lost over 50lbs and is working as hard as she can to keep going…
The guy you’re judging for not lifting as heavy as you is recovering from cancer treatment and just getting to the gym is a huge win for him.
The woman you’re judging for eating a donut is in eating disorder recovery and the fact that she’s able to eat the donut without having a panic attack is a massive personal victory.
The guy you’re judging for walking instead of doing sprints is recovering after a stroke, and excited to be exercising and alive.
You have absolutely no clue what the person next to you has been through or is going through.
Stop judging.
Be supportive.
You only got 27 chances to take a photo, seven of them were of your finger, nine looked like they’d been taken in a heavy radiation zone, most were blurry, your eyes looked red like the devil, someone *always* had to say “you haven’t wound it on!” as you struggled to click the button, you had to get them developed at Boots if you could be bothered and the last two were just photos of ‘outside Boots’ because you had to use them up… but the disposable camera was simply the best photographic device of all time.
@nsandihelp I disagree - asking for proof of a newborn child is fine, but putting a time limit,that cannot be extended for no real reason,on it when you ask to see a birth certificate or passport, as if those documents can just be purchased in a shop, is totally insane.!
@nsandihelp hi - I have a question about using a specific document to provide proof for my sons new account, can I send you the document I have to see if it’s fine?
Thanks
@nsandihelp I know this is what you have asked for,hence why I’m asking does this letter I’ve suggested work for the NHS medical card as I don’t know what that is? How do I extend the deadline for supplying the document?As I won’t have the birth certificate until after the date on the letter
@nsandihelp The document is a registration confirmation letter containing his NHS number.. does that qualify for the NHS medical card? If not what actually is a NHS medical card please? I have none of the other documents yet and won’t have by the date I have to provide this proof…
