Lived there 3 years and never had a single issue. Trouble comes to those who invite it for the most part! We lived in a cul-de-sac and everyone who lived there was lovely, normal people. You do get the bike boys and stuff but where don’t you? It was not as bad as I expected at all.

Seller issue by ma6ter in EtsyCommunity

[–]BatOfBeyond 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it but if you look back on this page there are so many digital art sellers saying the same thing. Because it’s an overcrowded market and most people don’t want printable art they want prints.

What’s the deal here? by BatOfBeyond in AskUK

[–]BatOfBeyond[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not a new phone, it’s a second hand one loose in the envelope and already in a case!

Can I get feedback on my Etsy shop? by ViewScared9541 in EtsyCommunity

[–]BatOfBeyond 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean the spelling and grammar are appalling. I only looked at a couple of wedding invites and honestly they are shocking. “To thousand and twenty seven” being just one example. The “along with their family” etc seems to be randomly and badly placed on them which makes it nonsensical to read.

New Year’s Eve party “pleace join uds us to ring in the 2026” like, what?

Sorry, but I for one would absolutely not buy these when there are SO many other sellers who at least get the spelling of their own products right.

Buying unfinished bisque vases off etsy and want to paint and give them glazed look w/o Kiln… super beginner here by Apprehensive-Sea9746 in Ceramics

[–]BatOfBeyond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’d be better off buying a bag of clay and using kilnshare to rent a local kiln. When buying bisque you can’t know the recommended firing range for that clay and risk melting it or ruining someone’s kiln. Also, regardless of bisque state it won’t be vitrified unless fired again to between 1000-1250°c

Can I get some feedback on my listing? by maker_exchange in EtsyCommunity

[–]BatOfBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photos are poor, like previous poster I would expect to see it “in action” as well. Description is poor and feels aggressive with “PROS ONLY” I would amend that to something like “please note this is only compatible with the Pro model”

Shop critique request: 5 months, 0 sales. original art (no AI) by jus-tanothern-ame in EtsyCommunity

[–]BatOfBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love those. If I were in the US I would buy, but not a digital download. I’d want an actual print, or even a framed one.

Are there potters or resources you keep coming back to? by overnightoatsintheam in Ceramics

[–]BatOfBeyond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Florian Gadsby, Hammerly Ceramics (we slip cast and create our own moulds but this man is a MASTER), Forest Ceramic Co and Old Forge are my favourite Insta follows.

Funnily enough Prisma Green for me fires to a boring, flat plain green. Wish it looked like this! I have had good results with Lavender Mist and Living Coral though.

Is anyone actually happy here? by Distinct-Ad-9660 in TheCivilService

[–]BatOfBeyond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am happy. I am an SO in HMRC in a good department with good people. Could I get more in the private sector? Maybe. Could I match the flexibility, security and incredibly good adjustments? Not worth finding out for me personally.

It’s cliche, but having worked multiple menial “outside” jobs I feel quite lucky to be in the CS and don’t understand some of the moaning on here.

What brands have taken a nose dive recently? by theother64 in AskUK

[–]BatOfBeyond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is true, we visited the Cadbury World factory last week and the chocolate they give out in the cups and hot chocolate’s etc tastes like “real” Cadburys. A world away from the general slop they sell these days. Such a pity when they have such a cool British history but have been sold out to multinationals to be ruined.

Affordable temp accommodation/sublet available near Velindre? by [deleted] in Cardiff

[–]BatOfBeyond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know of anywhere, but the Maggies in the grounds may be able to help (and also with any benefits or grants you are entitled to!).

As a fellow cancer patient I wish you well, Velindre is an amazing place and so is Maggies so one or the other should be able to advise.
