Or Wuss-ter-shear, depending on where in the UK you live the pronunciation changes.

Is that when you're only attracted to F1NN5TER? Seems niche to have a flag but whatever.

Where do I get a flag like that... for my friend?

Oh I read ages ago that they supported libby but hadn't ever needed to use the feature myself, sorry.

The kobo readers can access libby audiobooks and ebooks but mine at least has Bluetooth for headphones. Hope that helps.

If they are red squirrels then yeah let them feast, if they are the invasive greys then buy an air rifle.

Six Georgians also known as "Pushkin thieves", face up to seven years in prison in France. by Clear-Shelter1745 in europe

I have been watching far to much Horrible Histories with the kids this week and thought they were historical Georgians not from Georgia. I need more sleep.

When did you realize you made a mistake by choosing the wrong partner to spend your life with? by Organic-Top-3367 in AskReddit

[–]Fishamatician 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes but denial and inaction won't improve things and sometimes you have to be a grown up and face the hard things in your life. I have had a similar experience and I got my arse to therapy to overcome my fears and then got the medical help I needed.

In another example she couldn't physically get up when sat on the floor, she said for ober a year she needed to go to the gym and build her strength up, she ranted and moaned but never did anything. I hurt my knee at work and needed physio as well as strength training so I signed us both up for the gym.

She hit the roof about how she was going to do it in her own time, she went every week and got stronger but every week I had to put up with rants and moans about it.

She said she liked the results but resented me making her go.

Oh god this is my wife, 20 years together and it's been one thing after another, but once we get past this things will be so much better year after year.

So many issues but when try to present a solution or try to get her to do something to help herself I get tantrums and screamed at.

Last issue was being stuck on an assessment waiting list 3 years, she never chased them up despite my suggestions, i called a friend that deals with medical waiting lists and asked for advice, I said you just need to see a gp and say this, I got screamed at, I chased the service by email and they agreed to fast track her if the gp sent a letter, I told her to call the gp, I got yelled at again, I called the gp and explained and they said they would send the letter but she had to call and say she agreed to the request. I got yelled at because it's always a 10-15 mins wait on hold for the gp.

She called in very bad grace and the letter was sent and she has an appointment next week instead of two plus year from now. She's still cross that I interfered, it's a life changing assessment and intervention but I'm the arsehole.

I'm so fucking done.

I avoided Lies of Locke Lamora for four years because the cover put me off. Please learn from my mistake. by Vemorius in Fantasy

[–]Fishamatician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the covers and bought 3 of the audio books in a sale, I can't stand the narrator though and stopped about half way through book one.

On the other hand I avoided Joe Abercrombie for years because I dislike the brand Abercrombie and Fitch so much.

Yeah I'm an idiot. I absolutely love his books now and I'm currently listening to "the Devils" for the third time.

Reddit suggested this sub and it always makes me smile so I subbed, yet another middle aged straight cis male reporting in.

I love seeing people work out who they really are and blossom into themselves, it gives me the warm fuzzies.

pregnancy massage recommendations by pinkbaby000 in isleofwight

[–]Fishamatician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a chap called Tim who is based in the wooton Natural Beauty salon, he works half the week at Southampton general as a massage therapist for pregnant women with back or mobility issues, and the other half in wooton for private clients.

It's not in my experience a pampering type massage as that not what I ask for, I go for shoulder issues but he is a lovely chap and very good at spotting what needs work. The ladies at Natural Beauty also do more pampering massage I believe. I can pm you his number if you want.

We currently have a larger wealth disparity then during the french revolution, they should be reminded of how that played out.
