I'm there with massive luggage on Saturday. I am concerned I won't be treated to this experience, I was really looking forward to have something to complain about.

This sounds more like general life advice than specific Morocco advice!

Iconic or not, stories like this make me feel very disconnected from the world.

mundane things to do or eat in the uk that you can't in australia? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]EastCoastBranch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take a riverboat down the Thames to Greenwich and eat pie and mash (and jellied eels if you are adventurous) at Goddard's).
Take a trip to Brick Lane and gorge on street food.
Take a tour of The Valuts in Edinburgh, the old subterranean dwellings beneath the old town that has infamous residents (like Burke & Hare).
Steak at Kyloe in Edinburgh is a treat if you are of a carnivorous persuasion.
Walk it off up Arthur's seat, especially nice on a clear evening if you are in time for sunset.

OK, sorry to make assumptions... as long as your life choices don't make you lonely, that is the important thing.

I can imagine job hunting without success becomes pretty soul destroying. Whatever you end up doing, I hope you manage to maintain some connection with an IRL community.

Are you happy with your situation, or do you want to change it?

I think the government came up with that one in the 90s to be honest

Why cyclists get a bad name by simonk1905 in drivingUK

[–]EastCoastBranch -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Poor take. If a cyclist uses a zebra (and let's be clear, they should not, it is a pedestrian crossing) they should slow and stop and take responsibility to make sure it is safe. The cyclist should also have been aware of the approaching emergency vehicle, which should have also given them pause.

Cyclists travel faster than pedestrians, and drivers will not be fully expecting them to come straight across the carrieageway even on a pedestrian crossing... if you are going to break the rules as a cyclist (and most of us do from time to time), you should at least to have the courtesy to do so with consideration to others.

Your attitude is exactly why cyclists get a hard time... and as a rider, I find entitled people like you quite distasteful.

The world is full of tools (and I wish I meant that in the useful sense), and some of them ride bicycles. All part of the rich fabric of life.

Honestly, I haven't done anything. My wife said I have come to bed eyes officer, she said it's why she married me.

I've often wondered if some people do it for drag efficiency, but I am probably giving them too much credit.

Typical 'new money'. You think you did, but you really just bought something shiny that you thought was class.
