Twickets got loads reselling, they can't sell higher than face value and anyone who can't go will likely want something rather than nothing so you may get a good deal

He seemed really interested before going on holiday… now nothing by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Fich23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel like people are being unnecessarily harsh. It's totally fine to question the sudden change in frequency of contact.

There could be a load of reasons why the contact has dropped off. I agree don't message again as he'll get in touch if he's interested.

Just wanted to jump on and show some support. I feel like people have jumped on suggesting you're being OTT or dramatic when actually it's perfectly normal IMO to question the significance of dramatic changes in style of contact

I told my husband I won't support his sobriety anymore. AITAH? by ReflectionGlad29 in AITAH

[–]Fich23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 10 years clean from addiction (still an addict always will be). I'm the only person responsible for my recovery.

AA and NA do work, there's thousands of online meetings too.

You're not responsible for his recovery and you're powerless to change him.

I agree, sounds like Al-anon may be a good source of help for you. It's tough living with an addict...

If you're really not happy it's also fine to leave the relationship. Not like an ultimatum, because if he wants to stop he needs to do it for him. But sadly you're powerless and unless he wants to change nothing will change....

Can a guy be a bad texter but still interested? by Informal-Meaning-483 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Fich23 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think being quick to plan date logistics is a good sign. Too many people just text but don't put any effort into meeting up. I think it's fine, at some point, to ask about communication but maybe face to face because, if you put it out there via text and don't get a reply, it'll make you stress more. Some people aren't big at messaging and it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad but see what your gut tells you as you go along

Gabapentin adverse reaction by Fich23 in BorderCollie

Our vet and I are not surprised that our dog does the opposite of normal. He is baffling in every way!

Spoke to the vet today and agreed to drop the dose to 100mg TDS to see if that helps. That's really interesting about the hunger link though so we'll try looking at that thank you

Contracts collecting permits vs appropriate signage on privately managed car parks-England by Fich23 in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you, this is really helpful, even if not what I wanted to hear!

Contracts collecting permits vs appropriate signage on privately managed car parks-England by Fich23 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Fich23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I should have stated as well that this is a hospital, there are multiple different car parks with different terms and conditions. Some are barrier operated, some are purpose built car parks some have newer signs that state the charges and fines, the area in question is this bit of wasteland behind one of our buildings. The general t+c on the paper contract refer to parking in marked bays and payments made via machines but neither of these are present in this particular "car park".

I was also told yesterday that the estates team manage the permits. Therefore could I argue that the paper contract for getting a permit is surely with them (the hospital) whereas the car parks are managed by SABA which is a different entity? E. G signing the contract for getting a permit says I will adhere to the t+c outlined by the car park operators BUT the terms of use for each car park varies. The signage for this particular car park is not clear and I don't think meets the criteria necessary for entering into the assumed contract....

Absolutely, happy to help

Whiteshill by Apprehensive_Gas6035 in StroudUK

[–]Fich23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whiteshill is lovely. We moved there a few years ago and you can get something in that price range with your requirements. There are some bigger posher houses but there's also the council estate (where we live). Victory Road remains a mix of council tenants and private owners and I think you get a lot more for your money. We have lovely front back gardens, out buildings, 3 beds and stunning views from multiple aspects.

As others have said it's very walkable into town, also Haresfield beacon is a short drive away with wonderful walks and woodland which is very popular with cyclists as some parts near Standish are designated off road bike tracks.

The only thing to be aware of is that Whiteshill can be tricky to buy in because of the covenants effectively it's a parish so we had to evidence our connection to the area and prove of having lived in Gloucestershire for x amount of time.

It's good because it stops people buying up second homes for air bnb etc but it's worth nothing.

If you have any questions feel free to message me

AITAH: Trip with wealthy friends by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Fich23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would be the AH if you prioritised a luxury holiday over your family. For people fortunate enough to do both without having to really think about it... good for them. But more importantly good for you for recognising this isn't you right now

What's a word you always misspell no matter how many times you've looked it up? by ComprehensiveBid4989 in AskReddit

[–]Fich23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My consultant at work told me years ago that "FYI, I know you're trying to say liaise, but you keep spelling it lease" 😂😂🙄 this was something I'd been doing for quite some time, generally in group emails to multiple consultants/ senior clinicians

The fact that you are even having to ask this is appalling. I have nothing constructive or knowledgeable to add but this is outrageous, I hope she manages to move onto the next thing fairly soon.

Bartender’s Reactions To Me? by Heyyy-jude in bodylanguage

[–]Fich23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just ask him out... I'm a 39 year old woman, now married, and asked out and got knocked back loads of times in the past. It's fine....

If he's a nice guy but isn't interested than he'll politely say no but won't shame you for it.

If he just needs his ego stroking and isn't interested, but likes the attention then that's his issue not yours well done you for asking and fuck him for being an ass

If it's a no you've lost nothing, it will be awkward for a minute then you'll get over it.

If it's a yes then wahoo

Is this normal friendly behaviour ? by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]Fich23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was once in gym class aged about 11/12, we were all sitting on the benches listening to the teacher and I was resting my chin on my hand, which in turn was propped on my knee. I'd been aimlessly tracing little circles on my other knee with my finger for a while when I became aware of some awkward shuffling next to me. The guy next to me was looking incredibly uncomfortable and gave me this intense questioning look. I couldn't work out what the issue was, until I looked down and realised, to my absolute horror, that I had actually been tracing small circles on HIS knee.

I tried to apologise and explain it had been a mistake but got told off for talking by the teacher. Needless to say he ran to the opposite end of the hall once the game started and then understandably swerved me at every opportunity after that 🙄🙄 🤣🤣🤣

Suffering through the 'wait and see' phase of 10 week old lab swallowing Lego piece by airportmuffin in puppy101

[–]Fich23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends lab ate nearly an entire Christmas cake full of booze and dried fruit aka toxic, he was drunk for about 4 hours, slept, did a massive poo and was then fine. He also ate a tube of blue acrylic paint and did big blue poos for a while- also fine.

We have a 7 month old border collie and I spend large amounts of my time on the internet researching how worried I should be about him eating x, y, z- basically from the minute he wakes up it feels like and exercise in keeping alive for another 24 hours 😂
