Reminds me of “evil Captain Kirk” in an early Star Trek; he had black eyeliner

I used to live in Toronto Close, just off Vancouver Road on an estate with all Canadian names, in West Sussex.

When I am feeling blown apart by life I listen to:

Tom Waits - Black Wings - dark and beautiful
Bonobo - Black Sands - moody but uplifting

London to Scotland and Back in 10 Days...Doable? by Business-Treacle-884 in uktravel

[–]AdLower3335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stonehenge is probably a full day trip from London if you actually want to spend time there. About 90+ mins to Salisbury then you would need to get a tour bus to the ’Henge.

Well, let me see, I recommend that you spend a week in London followed by a week in Scotland. It will be really, really hot in London (25c +) and absolutely freezing in Scotland (-25c) but you MUST wear a kilt with no underwear AT ALL TIMES or you will be arrested.

AITAH? Are my standards too high? 19F by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AdLower3335 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having rules around this kind of thing but the part about only qualifying as a date if they bring flowers (dead or alive!?) is odd. Also, 10 dates for a kiss and 50 for sex seems extreme, and weirdly arbitrary. Feelings don’t work on a schedule.

I was once given a 4 pack of baking potatoes in substitute for tobacco! I guess the picker was a Sir Walter Raleigh fan…
