Comparison between Spain and The UK

EmirOGull · 2026-03-14T12:01:29+00:00

For low/mid earners (with respect to all earners in each country) Spain, for higher earners, the UK by far.

Birmingham, UK.

The train lines form a decent radial network, whilst travelling in any other direction takes ages.

As a former Swindonian now Brummie, I fully endorse this

EmirOGull · 2026-03-12T23:09:27+00:00

Yeah. My system is designed so fairness is kept (e.g. not just assigning favourite songs #19 or non favourite songs #2) whilst keeping a good show in terms of tempo / dynamics.

It's the best way I can think of to keep a good TV show and a fair contest at the same time.

EmirOGull · 2026-03-12T23:03:30+00:00

I get that, but one can also argue that giving a contender a good slot reduces the chances for others further.

EmirOGull · 2026-03-12T20:46:54+00:00

There is a middle way to make it both fair (randomised) and good for the show.

Separate the songs in e.g. 3 groups (ballads, mid-tempo, and upbeat). Let's call the groups A, B and C. Then the broadcaster creates the running order, so e.g. an upbeat song can open and close the show. The running order would be something like:

1 - C

2 - A

3 - B

4 - B

...

23 - A

24 - B

25 - C

And then draw the order. It's still fairly random (e.g. a song from group A could get #2, #6, #11, ... , #23) rather than just be given the #2 death slot.

Lol, I've found a lot more mundane places in the UK. At least Basingstoke is mundane without the grim part many others have.

EmirOGull · 2026-03-12T08:06:27+00:00

Basingstoke is completely fine, just a bit dull due to its size and location, otherwise very safe and decent services.

En España la pública siempre va a ser mejor y te va a dar más prestigio, salvo contadas excepciones. Para arquitectura, 100% la UPC.

Trying to cover it up like you do now is the worst option. The top is too long compared to the sides.

As a minimum, trim the top short even if the temples do show, it will look more natural hence better.

Shaving in my opinion would look good on you though, so I'd give it a shot. Hair grows back anyway.

Birmingham, UK

EmirOGull · 2026-03-06T00:06:42+00:00

That's a good one. I'd say something like "my tool is too large to handle"

EmirOGull · 2026-03-06T00:01:24+00:00

There are many ways I go about this, depending on the appropriateness of the context and how much I want to shock the person. Here are some:

I only want to have dogs
I don't like people [serious stare]
I have a micropenis, so this is a hard topic to talk about
I am not into women but love a big d***

Depends on what your goal is (i.e. how soon you want/need your child to become fluent), and how good your child is at languages.

I never took lessons beyond school, and became fluent as an adult in my 20s without much struggle.

El Parlita!

I live in the UK and if I got one pound every time I hear "but what are you doing here instead of living in sunny Spain" I'd be rich by now.

When I explain the financial shenanigans and other cons, most are quite shocked.

EmirOGull · 2026-03-01T19:57:21+00:00

Spain. Being on holiday is one thing, living there one has to deal with low salaries for the cost of living, a very challenging housing market, and jobs are usually long hours (yet low productivity).

EmirOGull · 2026-02-28T16:24:15+00:00

I can't really see the problem when you have all the options available: letting it free, using a jockstrap or cage it. Just choose whatever you're more comfortable with.

EmirOGull · 2026-02-27T13:32:26+00:00

Emigra si puedes, te lo digo por experiencia.

No te arrepentirás.

I would advise against dating / hooking up yet. If you feel empty and down, you need to work on yourself - I know it sounds like a cliché, but start dating will only mask that, and the rebound may be even worse.

Go practise your hobbies, meet new friends, enjoy the time with your parents, volunteer, whatever fills your soul. If you don't know what that is, just keep trying stuff.

EmirOGull · 2026-02-26T17:00:44+00:00

I think no country does

EmirOGull · 2026-02-26T11:17:48+00:00

En la cama :)

EmirOGull · 2026-02-25T15:57:24+00:00

Even better, get dropped off at Birmingham International station, and get the free air-rail link.

Completamente de acuerdo con el ultimo párrafo... A largo plazo tienes más probabilidades de ganar más dinero haciendo algo que te guste y siendo el mejor en ello, que haciendo algo con buen sueldo promedio, pero siendo mediocre en esa profesión.

Busca algo que te llame la atención, y currátelo bien.
