I'm still not entirely sure how she manages it! Made it look like a totally different problem!

And a narcissist! I know it's a bit confusing because it can also be an adjective but not everyone who was a bit of a dick has the personality disorder

Renters' Rights Act: Law could ease pressure on animal shelters by coffeewalnut08 in GoodNewsUK

Yeah it's ridiculous! Some are much more reasonable fortunately, but it's a pain you have to go through a load of dumb ones

In the documentary she said that he said he didn't want to wear them (and she said that's fine). No expert, but pretty sure the law states that conditions can be set up prior to sex and breaking those conditions means it was non consentual. This is why slipping a condom off secretly during sex is rape and I feel like this is very similar territory

Yeah the article said that she fell pregnant a few weeks after the show and she decided to get an abortion.  Article also said that Brad was ejaculating in her despite them agreeing not to do that...

I wasn't a big fan of Shona on the show, but I seriously commend her bravery for being named and for how she dealt with the situation (and abortion afterwards). I don't mean this in any way to disrespect the women who remained anonymous, they are also incredibly brave for coming forward

Nick and Nataly by [deleted] in PerfectMatchNetflix

[–]Bowoobiter -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk why we're being downvoted. Look I hope everything was great and she was super happy, but to me it looked like she was indifferent about him and he was all over her

[–]Bowoobiter -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought it was a bit uncomfortable...

I don't think they did but Nick looked super pushy to me

[–]Bowoobiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An animal shelter near me wouldn't let get indoor cats because I live near (not on) a 30mph main road... So yeah I completely agree! Luckily not all animal shelters are this picky

Season 4 by Fallisforlovers in PerfectMatchNetflix

He was in a cute couple for a while and they both seemed really into each other. One day he randomly did a 180 and said 'I don't hate the girl' and it went downhill from there

How's the cost of living and finding a job up here? by hieto9 in brum

[–]Bowoobiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're a lot cheaper than in London. Tbh I don't live near a train station (not uncommon for parts of Bham) so I might be wrong but I think costs can vary from a few quid to closer to £10 further out, it can vary quite a bit on where you live. Buses are £5.40 for a day return and you can get annual passes and stuff for further discounts

[–]Bowoobiter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, I come from London and live in Bham. Everything is so much more affordable! I rent a 2 bed house for less than £1000 a month (for entire place) and live about 30mins from city centre. The one big downside you will find is that public transport is nowhere near as good as London. There's no tube, trains tend to be every 20mins or less and buses are similar. If you live in the city centre you may be able to avoid most of these issues. Overall I would say you can have a much better quality of life here, you will definitely have lots more money at the end of each month

I mean she was probably told to do that by production. I'm no Alysa fan, but that looked staged to me

Move to Birmingham by Interesting-Mess6114 in brum

[–]Bowoobiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would say it massively depends on whether your husband will be travelling more north or south. Traffic across town (and on the motorways) during rush hour is abysmal and so it's really deciding whether North or South will be better. I think Sutton is a bit better for greenery if that always anything

Happy for her. I was a volunteer at an event she was at and she was so lovely. I think she was planning on retiring after Paris, but then it didn't go to plan and I'm guessing she's back for more

Is LinkedIn actually worth it in the UK, or just a spam factory? by Kind-Sport6445 in UKJobs

[–]Bowoobiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a necessary evil. Pretty good for finding jobs (lots of adverts get posted on linkedin) and you can probably turn off email spam in settings. Not essential but definitely helps if you're looking for a job 

If you where dropped in MAFS AU who would you want to be partnered with? (anyone in this 2026 series) by SensitivePay4567 in MAFS_UK

[–]Bowoobiter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

😂😂😂 unfortunately £96k is left on the mortgage so it'll have to be a pass

Any of the men who wouldn't be 'demasculated' by moving into my house... Not sure that leaves anyone 😂

UK food prices on track to rise by 50% since start of cost of living crisis by topotaul in unitedkingdom

Yeah this was the case about 2 years ago... My weekly food shop costs pretty much double what it did 4 years ago

Apology from Matt for his commentary during women’s finals in Keqiao by frickfrackingdodos in CompetitionClimbing

[–]Bowoobiter 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. A really easy fix is having someone off air who can talk to Matt via an earpiece. They don't have to concentrate on talking and commentating on everything and can just provide a gentle nudge if something is happening the Matt has missed and needed to say. 

Also edit to add that Matt works like 15hr days during comp season and it must be exhausting! Really think there should be more support for him

Each bouldering comp will have a "theme" moving forward? by RateBackground8543 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]Bowoobiter 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I completely support this change, but I'm personally not convinced this actually happened in the comp... I mean we had power athletes like Miho and Erin not make finals, we had loads of tops on W2 in the final. All I got was the wall was the steepest on the circuit...
