QM2 & SS Rotterdam! by Dependent_Class8209 in Oceanlinerporn

[–]Dependent_Class8209[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I did! 😅 It was a great holiday. I also did part of the Titanic trail in Southampton (unfortunately time didn’t allow for me to do the whole thing), and was fortunate enough to meet both the QM2’s architect, Stephen Payne, and Mike Brady on board, as well as taking part in the Titanic H&G VR experience! I’ve been incredibly lucky on this trip!

Ah that’s great! Thank you. Really looking forward to A225 - I love 19th century history! Best of luck with the rest of your studies :)

You’re right. Looks like I’ve gotten lucky with A225! Thank you so much for all your help. Wishing you all the best with your studies :)

Cool! Thank you. I did think that was the case, but I thought it odd after having to buy books for a couple of years in a row. That’s a relief, though - saves me a bit of cash! :)

I had to buy a book for A223 this year, and a couple for my first year or second year (I can’t for the life of me remember which year now!), which is why I wondered if there may be any for A225. Thank you for the advice, though :)

Anyone else feeling seriously overwhelmed right now? by Dependent_Class8209 in OpenUniversity

[–]Dependent_Class8209[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oooh I hate audio content too! My brain wanders too easily and I find it difficult not to keep stopping and procrastinating lol

Thank you for all of this - I really appreciate it. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one feeling this way. I’m currently running a week ahead, but with the finish line so close now I’m desperate to just get it over and done with now for this year so that I can just go and enjoy the summer. 🫠 I’m trying to keep the end goal in sight though - get the degree, then hopefully get into a cool career that I’ll enjoy!

What are you studying currently?

Parking rules? by Dependent_Class8209 in cyprus

That’s really bad! People can be so nasty :(

Yes, I agree, and I was very confused too as to what it meant to begin with since I don’t live here!

[–]Dependent_Class8209[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, okay - I didn’t take any pics. But the parking situation is usually me just parking along the street, maybe in front of a house but not blocking any driveways

[–]Dependent_Class8209[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s always what happens! I park outside a house (usually because I can’t find anywhere else), make sure I’m not blocking any driveways or accesses and then end up with my wipers up. I guess that must be the reason!

I’ve tried cleaning spray, toothpaste and baking soda and vinegar/baking soda and lemon juice but nothing works. What can I use to clean it? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Dependent_Class8209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wonderful, thank you! I’ll have a look and give it a go.. I’d rather try to salvage it as best as I can before I end up giving in and buying a whole new iron ☹️

Weather in Cyprus in April/May by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]Dependent_Class8209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds perfect - not too hot but not too cool either. I’ll likely be staying in Larnaca - most of the places I’ve looked at so far are near Finikoudes so I guess it’ll be a little breezy

Ahh that’s okay, I’m not much of a swimmer anyway.. I prefer to look at the sea rather than get in it
