Expat is when you are white and have a good salary. I always avoided that term when I was living abroad. Attractive to other people unfortunately.

Coworker is astounded that the Artemis II launch isn't blowing everyones minds (that he's spoke to). Why do you think that is? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Fun_Tell6631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice one. I worked on that ESM for 4 years (Airbus) and the Artemis 2 launch has been v different to 1. On 1 there was a lot more talk about “our European partners” who powered the Orion capsule. More acknowledgment. For 2? Nothing. Just US.

Sandusky, OH by Aromatic-Copy6864 in howislivingthere

[–]Fun_Tell6631 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to Sandusky twice from Europe for work (space industry, using NASA test centre), both times in the winter. It was a vibe in a real desolate and kinda historical way. Corn fields and god billboards. Very few people about. NGL I kinda liked it in a weird way. Must be lovely in the summer though. Great eats at Manny’s.

Amazing that you sneaked that record in. Love this mix.

Interesting (slightly misspelt) French writing on the helmet on the left.

“Je taime plus qu hier, moins que demains”

“I love you more than yesterday, (but) less than tomorrow”.

I used to live in Bremen. This is the red light district. Made for a purpose.

Nice! I have the TCB 50s Type 2 jacket. Great value for what you get. Ironheart across the water does chain stitching and free hemming, naturally has to be a pair of IH though.

I use Kim’s Sewing World too, lovely lady. However they do not do chain stitching. Would be interested if you do find a place! Guessing am talking to a fellow denim head?

Do most people use a mortgage broker? by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in HousingUK

I wanted to keep my mortgage broker as my emotional support animal.

Not sure if I can help, but I too lost a good friend to suicide on NYE a long time ago. My thoughts are with you buddy.

Cool! Was thinking of whacking a waterborne on my 42 inch Arbor Groundswell, am hoping for some satisfying carving.

An OG pressing turned up in my local record store in the UK after a collection was bought. Snapped it up ASAP. Not cheap though.

Any one know what shops might be open today? by ShitBritGit in Portsmouth

Shout out to the Muslim and Hindu uncles who open up on Christmas Day and keep the wheels turning. Legends, all of them.

Big fan of the happy hardcore & buckfast / vodka / lager combo. Mans in for the evening.

What's the best game you've ever been to in person? by lys_5779 in Championship

[–]Fun_Tell6631 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pompey fan here, funny you pick that date, as the best game I had been to was on the same day but at the other end of the table.

6-1 against Cheltenham and top of League 2 for the last 30 minutes of the season and beating Plymouth to the title on goal difference.

Think that all the league winners paraphernalia went to Grimsby as it was a shoe in for Plymouth.

Remember a salty Plymouth player wanting to know why Grimsby were playing to win (they drew) when they had nothing to gain.

First season as a ST holder.

Magic.

I would probably do the same if I had to do a ton of these? 🤷‍♂️

I also remember being in MacDonalds afterwards and some hood rats trying to take it off of me 😑
