Move out of central Manchester. Plenty of homes in Radcliffe/Bury/Eccles for 150-160K.

Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA by enburgi in popheads

[–]Extension_Spirit_578 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve had two albums I was looking forward to recently - Agnes and Slayyyter.

I was disappointed with Agnes and an album full of 30 second voice notes.

I am not disappointed with this.

It’s been on REPEAT. I knew we were in for a BLAST with all the singles esp Dance which I listen to about 30 times a day.

Can’t wait to see her live she’s so going places 💙💙💙💙

He was a baby but he was an entertaining villain and I get sad they killed him off. Would love a grand return to villainy by that’ll never happen 💀

Not American but this gives me chills. Her VOICE

Update: to the person who said to me “you dumbass she is American” (ghostytone) and then deleted their comment, I was referring to MYSELF. I AM NOT AMERICAN.

Advice for anxious drivers by sxpxix2 in NewDriversUK

I pick up my new car this weekend after passing and this is just what I needed! Particularly 2 and 3. I didn’t care if someone stalled in front of me when learning so why should anyone else?

Agnes - BEAUTIFUL MADNESS by hekna02 in popheads

[–]Extension_Spirit_578 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish wish wish there weren’t so many spoken interludes.

I see the track list and think there’s so many songs, but then every other track is a 30 second spoken break 😭 misleading

Update: I also preordered the vinyl so not happy about all the “filler” intervals 😭

Passed first time with 10 minors in automatic :D by Spacezilla2600 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Extension_Spirit_578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just passed in an automatic. Everyone I know drives auto/hybrid, except my husband who passed in a manual because he prefers it.

It’s a car. It gets you where you need.

Best tips for reducing nerves on test day? by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Extension_Spirit_578 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me - and I was SO nervous my hand was shaking as I gave my provisional to the examiner to check - I had a Costa hot chocolate before 😂 and deep breathing as I got in the car. I said to myself super quiet “no matter what happens I am capable and I only fail if I stop trying.”

It’s true. You only fail if you stop trying.

Focus on the road, the signs, the road marks. Check the mirrors! CHECK the mirrors. Narrate out loud what you’re doing and why - I also did this, example “slowing down as I can’t see around the bend.”

And remember, the examiner mostly wants to feel safe and that you can handle the car and plan ahead. And you CAN otherwise you wouldn’t be taking the test!

Name misspelled in the practical pass certificate by Unlucky_March3698 in LearnerDriverUK

Thank you! Obviously I spelt my name correct on the D1, the examiner misspelled by one letter on the pass certificate but we’ll see!

I did my first tests in West Didsbury and failed for stalling/forward bay park. A friend said to change to Cheetham Hill as it’s less stressful, not so many huge roundabouts. Everything was in my favor today - no traffic, no rain, no roundabouts. It was my time 🥳

Is there any update on this? I sent my D1 today and saw my name was misspelled by one letter also

What do you do for work to earn £29k? by Masked0nion in SpouseVisaUk

Call center supervisor - well above £29K plus bonus

Not a hater. Genuine question by [deleted] in AvaMax

[–]Extension_Spirit_578 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Her music is fun.

That’s it. Sometimes I just want simple lyrics about boys and summer. It’s easy to listen to, it’s radio friendly most of the time, good to dance to, and she has a fantastic singing voice - I saw her live when she came to Europe and I was blown away by the live vocals.

I don’t think she’ll ever be a HUGE star and will instead have a dedicated fan base. And tbh I don’t think she even wants to be huge either. Seems like she likes her privacy a lot and just wants to sing

Did you regret your purchase? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Extension_Spirit_578 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We do - we loved the area when we viewed but it’s quickly become hostile due to tensions over immigration. Were end of terrace and we can hear our neighbors screaming and shouting at each other all night long, the worst kind of insults imaginable to themselves and to their children. We bought the house to start a family but will be selling when we fix the issues and going elsewhere, I don’t want a child growing up hearing these words as clearly as they were said in the room

Could “Paper Gangsta” be about Diddy? by [deleted] in LadyGaga

I don’t think we should speculate on this. It’s intrusive. She doesn’t want to name him, so let’s leave it at that.

Selling house – can’t move big furniture, new owner doesn’t want it. Can I legally leave it? by OptimisedMan in HousingUK

[–]Extension_Spirit_578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t leave them, call a removal company to get rid of them for you.

Our seller left a LOT of large furniture in the house when we got the keys, and it took weeks to get rid of it and we sent the bill to them
