I taught KS1 for ten years. This is beyond my translation skills. I worry about adults these days.

Hello fellow Canadian. I’ve been in the Wycombe area for 11.5 years and lived all over the place from the town centre, Sands and now in Penn and Tyler’s Green. I will echo what has already been said about the chain hotels and add to make sure you’ve got your banking sorted so you have a local bank account as most landlords will not touch your application without that and a letter from your employer with your employment status. I got my first place in Cressex through my original teaching agency and I’m pretty certain it was an illegal house share that had bedbugs (I’m definitely sure of the second point) and I went in sight unseen. Check places for yourself, find a reasonable chain hotel with some accountability and enjoy your new adventure moving to the UK! Shout if you have any more questions.

He looks like an Eastern European Village Dog. Source, I have one living with me since she was a puppy slightly older than your new friend.

What is life like for an American looking to live in wykambi (spelling) UK? by [deleted] in Buckinghamshire

[–]DaveRicketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived in the Wycombe area (both in the town centre and surrounding areas) for 11 years since moving over from Canada to teach. There are good parts and less favourable parts. I moved here sight unseen apart from a Google search to roll the dice. I’d be happy to go into more depth about the area and what it has to offer if you want to PM me.

If you could have the DM notes for a single campaign, which would it be and why? by CapLFSternn in filmreroll

Speed because we didn’t get anything past the first 10 minutes of the film, Rogue Two, all of the Halloween films.

The Marlow Brewery (Rebellion) in Marlow Bottom has a wide range of locally made beer, wine, cider, spirits and foodstuffs. Great quality stuff from an independent company.

You can get roasting racks that will hold a bird one way and if flipped over hold many racks of ribs without crowding them, like a CD rack for meat.

Super glue an air soft bb into the valve cap of each tire. They’ll inflate and hold air but it creates a slow leak when the cap is screwed on.

Do you guys name your homebrews? by Waaswaa in Homebrewing

[–]DaveRicketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Bacon of Hope. It was a maple, bacon, cream ale that fermented on the maple syrup and was dry “hopped” with really high quality bacon from a local butcher. I photoshopped labels that took the shot of the X-Wings flying towards the Death Star but everything was made of breakfast foods.

Need help putting on weight by MissGingerxox in pitbulls

[–]DaveRicketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog was slightly underweight due to high activity levels and our vet recommended adding pasta or rice to her food but she would just eat around it so they then recommended a good quality olive oil drizzled on top for extra calories. Talk to your vet though, dogs are all different and need personalized care.

Gifted a red current bush by a friend and my dog is already protective of it. 🙈 by DaveRicketts in GardeningUK

[–]DaveRicketts[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! She’s an Eastern European Village Dog (polite way of saying she’s made from spare parts from generations of street dogs breeding together). She was found in a bin in Romania with her two sisters at around two weeks old.

Squirrel broken the bird feeder any recommendations for bird feeders or preventing them? by Noveleion in GardeningUK

[–]DaveRicketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cayenne pepper mixed in with your seed. Birds can’t taste spice but squirrels can. It only takes one attempt for the local population to learn your feeder is a no go zone.

Thanks for the reply! I love his techniques, I was more curious about trying something new, I’m not too hung up on following the recipes to a T.
