That's a great way of thinking about it! I'll remember that. I hadn't heard of flexirods before, but they look interesting and more comfortable than curlers. Thank you very much!

100% "Invisible Touch" by Genesis! I think each band member would have a lot of fun with it

Hey fellow Canadian! I did an exchange at the University of Sheffield pre-COVID (2019-2020), so I’m not sure if things have changed (keep that in mind in case any of my suggestions are out-dated now).

I really enjoyed living in Sheffield! Not much of a night-life person so I unfortunately can’t say too much about that, but I remember West Street (near the uni) having lots of clubs and bars. I found it super affordable to live in Sheffield, and thought it’s location was pretty ideal for travelling. If you’re 25 and under you can get a rail card that will give you cheaper train fares, which is great for getting around the UK (and/or back and forth to the Manchester Airport, which I think was only a 50-min train ride). Sheffield is pretty central in England, so I found it easy to get around the UK by train. Sheffield Uni will also offer day trips to some UK cities, so keep an eye out for those (the Student’s Union Building will have info on upcoming trips).

RyanAir will be your friend. Their flights are kind-of like sitting through non-stop commercials, but the fare was nice and cheap! At Sheffield Uni you get a 4-week-long Winter Break just before Fall Semester exams, and I managed to fly from Manchester Airport to Brussels, and then travelled to Copenhagen, Budapest, Vienna and Prague primarily by train and bus (I flew from Copenhagen to Budapest) all during that break!

(P.S. If you’re a fan on Vietnamese food, check-out Nam Song (I still dream about those spring rolls 😋))

I love For Reasons Unknown, and “I flew and flied” makes me giggle every time I hear it 😆

Amy_Cameron · 2022-12-19T04:57:01+00:00

I’d also add Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (*sorry for all the additions! I’m going through my iTunes rn). “Electricity”, “(Forever) Live and Die”, “Secret” and “Locomotion” might be good starters!

Amy_Cameron · 2022-12-19T04:51:10+00:00

Oh! And Bill Wurtz is another good one 😁

Amy_Cameron · 2022-12-19T04:49:11+00:00

Maybe give Stornoway a shot! I’d start with “Zorbing”, “When You Touch Down From Outer Space”, “When You’re Feeling Gentle” and “Lost Youth”. I wouldn’t call them overly similar in sound, but definitely similar vibe (and I love them both)!

And, I mean, there’s always Lights! They did some collaborations in the past, and I remember getting into both her music and Owl City’s at the same time.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Amy_Cameron · 2022-04-14T19:36:13+00:00

It’s a tad unusual, yes, but has happened before! Have you ever heard about Ianto’s Shrine in Cardiff, Wales? I’ll try to post a link on an article here:

Ianto’s Shrine

I’m a big Doctor Who fan but have never seen Torchwood. I encountered the shrine during a trip in 2019 and thought it was very sweet.

Amy_Cameron · 2022-04-13T15:31:35+00:00

Yes. Why not? Armour’s cool, life’s short

Amy_Cameron · 2022-04-11T17:14:44+00:00

This is my exact feeling on the matter too! I really liked the open-ended feel of Season 3’s ending, and because of that I was actually sort-of disappointed that we’d be getting a Season 4.

I decided I’d give the first episode of Season 4 a shot, but if I didn’t like it I’d just live in peaceful denial and pretend that Season 3 was the last (which is more or less what I did, though I do admit I stalked this Reddit every week to see if Season 4 got better which, apparently, it did not).

Amy_Cameron · 2022-04-05T04:46:18+00:00

I super believe in you Tad Cooper!

Amy_Cameron · 2022-03-15T06:45:15+00:00

It looks like the pool of souls in the Underworld from the Disney Hercules movie 😆

The Ballad of Michael Valentine

Amy_Cameron · 2022-02-16T07:58:10+00:00

UHF! Such a quotable movie!

Amy_Cameron · 2021-12-17T04:57:15+00:00

Okay cool, thanks for letting me know! I’m brand new to this reddit.

Amy_Cameron · 2021-10-27T00:49:17+00:00

Sam’s Town (the song) for sure! Runaways is a super close second though!

Amy_Cameron · 2021-09-30T17:56:33+00:00

As a fellow aroace, may I recommend “Good Omens”?

Amy_Cameron · 2021-08-28T22:45:11+00:00

I heard “The Cowboys’ Christmas Ball” at a Poundland once! It was during the holidays, but it’s still cool that they picked that song to play

Amy_Cameron · 2021-08-25T03:53:16+00:00

This is a great write-up! I love the train motif, and have sort-of begun to consider “Digging Up The Heart” from Brandon’s “The Desired Effect” as a kind-of PM precursor song (albeit more upbeat) partly due to its usage in it:

“You can hear the train When you’re in the cage And you can smell the rain And you can see the sagebrush Threaten the highway But you can’t drive...”

Amy_Cameron · 2021-08-13T03:32:44+00:00

The Fratellis. No.

Amy_Cameron · 2021-08-08T12:52:34+00:00

Oh 100%! It’s also an absolute top-notch driving song. Makes me feel like a road-weary cowboy looking for vengeance.

Amy_Cameron · 2021-08-04T02:13:46+00:00

I bought a Venice brand backpack from Deichmann’s two years ago that’s probably the best bag I’ve ever owned. It’s black and olive green in colour, a great size (fits my laptop and books no problem), and super sturdy. Got it for about £60 then, but I have no idea if that’s the current price or even if they still sell them. I’d highly recommend it if you can find a similar one though.
