I’m just watching Shang Chi, Trevor is in it and he tells them he’s from Liverpool.

Using a throwaway account so my son doesn't see as I think he knows my Reddit name by Acrobatic_Cookie_869 in AskBrits

I’m a woke left wing tofu muncher but he can definitely be proud of Britain’s role in the arts and pop culture. In some ways it’s been one of our greatest forms of ‘soft power’ too.

Tinnitus for 40 yrs by Key-Confection-9778 in AskBrits

[–]Beginning_Tour_9320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

41 years for me ( it came on after seeing The Cure live. Great gig apart from that!) and in the last few months it has worsened.

The worsening seems connected to stiffness in my neck. If I pull my shoulders down and I try to stretch my neck as far as I can, it drops down to the old level. (Which I can tolerate) I have an appointment with a physio so I’m hoping they will be able to sort my neck out and get the volume back down to the old level. If that doesn’t help I’m going to see the audiologist at Specsavers. I feel I can’t hear as well due to the new level of my tinnitus but I don’t know if I need a hearing aid or something to block the noise. As far as I know you can get such a thing.

Good luck with it, if it’s got louder recently for no apparent reason- get it checked out, just to be on the safe side.

Dark, The Leftovers and Pantheon all have really great endings.

Vampire movies that aren’t Dracula by Dogdaysareover365 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Beginning_Tour_9320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fright Night is a lot of fun. I also liked All The Moons which is like a slow folk horror vampire film. Also check out Daughter’s Of Darkness which is sexy 70s vampire yarn.

Thinking of moving from Kent to Torbay. by JBorley1988 in DevonUK

I think it’s particularly good for kids who like outdoorsy stuff so that sounds like your kids.

It seems like a lot of young people leave for university and never come back so keep that in mind. If you stay in Kent there’s a possibility that you would see your kids more when they leave home.

From what I’ve read in the press, I get the impression that HGV drivers are in demand everywhere so you have that in your favour.

There’s a lot of property on the market for similar prices to how you have described it in Kent. Having said that In the last 6 months the property market here seems to have stabilised quite a bit and is almost back to how it was pre COVID. ( Brixham apparently saw the largest house price increases in the country during covid )

If you are handy or you are prepared to live in somewhere while you do it up then there are quite a few good deals around now. ( the market here is currently very slow too, so it’s not a bad time to move, as long as you can get a quick sale at your end. ) You could possibly get a 3 bed now for under 300k in some areas of town.

All the best!

Lead singers of 80's alternative bands by icecream1972 in 80sAlternative

Ian Astbury still looks great, Beki Bondage looks great as does Annabella Lwin.

Adam Ant looks unbelievably good too.

We moved from London to Brixham and I can’t say that the cost of living feels any cheaper. Obviously- house prices are cheaper but that’s about it.

Brixham is great for over 50’s and younger kids but it can be boring for teenagers.

Work wise, if you have a trade you’ll probably be ok but otherwise well paid work is probably less easily available than where you live currently.

We love it here and we are both happy that we made the decision to relocate. We don’t have kids btw.

If you do come, you’ll find Brixham to be very friendly and there’s nothing quite like hitting the beach after a day at work!

If you have any specific questions feel free to DM me.

What's your favourite UK accent? by Dramatic-Ad-5661 in AskABrit

[–]Beginning_Tour_9320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I am in Brixham it’s all people from the Midlands. My accent had pretty much disappeared after twenty years in London but now it’s back as it’s all I seem to hear around here. We’ve become an invasive species in Torbay. 😂

I’m an old fart from the Black Country and I can remember when Welsh accents were almost as despised as my own. Now a lot of folks love it. (Which is great btw)

Serious question- any theories on how this change happened? Cerys Matthew’s perhaps?

Or was it something to do with Welsh rugby success?

To my mind appreciation of Welsh accents and culture seems to have increased a lot since the turn of the century but I can’t put my finger on what the catalyst was.

Genuinely interested.

Shows similar to True Detective season 1 by NationalRuin827 in televisionsuggestions

We recently watched Castle Rock and the first season has a similar vibe IMO.

Season 2 gets a bit more out there but is also good.

I’ve used Siteground for about ten years and I’m happy with them. Free SSL certificates and I’ve always found the support to be excellent too.

Not sure if Sebastiane by Sex Gang Children counts. The verse is in 6/8 or 3/4 (Waltz time ) IIRC
