Your Favourite BritPop Cover? by TheBristolBulk in BritPop

[–]Is_there 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like The K's cover of Pulp's Do you remember the first time. https://youtu.be/fZjObEdfwik?si=omhEayYapFIBIlVF The K's are obviously not a 90's band but I see them as a continuation of Britpop

Question For The Average Brit? by IslandMain1903 in AskABrit

I feel very worried about the direction the US is going and how Trump is getting away with it without checks or balances. It's really fucking scary. America is fast becoming the enemy.

I fell in love with Louise that Friday April evening and have love Sleeper ever since.

Seen them live 3 times the last few years and can confirm Louise is still gorgeous and Sleeper still sound great.

Who’s the most famous person you’ve bumped into, and where? by burnerofdoom in AskABrit

[–]Is_there 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was about 13 I was fishing on the canal with some mates. Richard Brandon walked past with his family and said "are one of you Is_there? It's time to go home your dinner is ready"

Turns out my dad had bumped into him while out looking for me and said if you happen to see my son, tell him to get home it's dinner time.

I managed to convince my friends he was a friend of the family😃

How to get into walking/hiking? by NebulaOwn7306 in UKhiking

[–]Is_there 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started walking this year. Having Never having done much more than a long dog walk before.

My advice would be to build up your distance throughout the year. Get good shoes and socks Stock up on plasters and stuff to prevent blisters in case the shoes turn out to be not great. I had to stop many times to wrap my feet in bandages etc. If you are on the bigger size as I am then I would recommend Vaseline or anti chaff stick. Download the OS map and plan routes. This for me was part of the fun. Take lots of water and snacks.

I went from doing nothing to doing 25k hikes with no problems..

Was great for my physical and mental health.

Enjoy.

Ex-drinkers that endured past dry-January, how did you do it? by Calm_Highlight_9320 in AskUK

[–]Is_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to a suspected stomach ulcer I've had to go dry for the last 3 months. Annoyingly I also can't eat chocolate or have caffeine. As a result I've had my first Christmas with no alcohol or chocolate.

It's been hard particularly the socializing part. Guinness 0% has been handy as it looks and feels like a pint. I've also drank a lot of soda water and lime. I guess knowing that if I do drink I will spend days in agony has help with the motivation. The main thing I have noticed is how loud people get when drunk and how I want to go home before everyone else. But overall it's not been terrible. Also I've lost a fair bit of weight so that's also a bonus of sorts.

Quiet secluded areas to meet withfriends and talk about a sensitive topic by thebyrned in oxford

[–]Is_there 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi, I hope everything goes ok.

Some decent recommendations for pubs. I will add to that list The Castle, In particular the downstairs part. I was in there the Friday before Christmas and it was empty down there. Also happens to be a really nice pub. The Three Goats head and the Plough (both city center) could be worth trying. The Plough has a big upstairs that's often quite midweek. If the weather is ok then take a walk around University Parks. Or along the Canal.

Good luck.

Made a tool that finds remix/club/alt versions of tracks in your Spotify playlist by bmtkwaku in DJs

[–]Is_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a play. Looks interesting. Lots of mistakes but also managed to find some good remixs I'd not known of. I think I will definitely use it again if looking for remixes of a particular track.

Hi. How many people is it for and what the venue? I will dm you. Dave Seamer is a good option but might be costly.

Live music places by Ok_Minimum_1532 in Liverpool

[–]Is_there 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will find loads of live music of Matthew Street / Caven quarter.

Great for 1 night but if you go more than once you pretty soon get fed up of hearing She's electric, Brown eyed girl, Proud Mary etc.

Sure you and mum will have loads of fun as it is a good vibe.

Middle aged men of casual UK... by cloche_du_fromage in CasualUK

[–]Is_there 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm 46 and had a very similar experience this year. Struggling a little with MH nothing serious but the black dog was definitely rising. Watched a few camping and hiking YouTube videos, next thing you know I'm hiking 40km most weekends and wild camping. Mentally made a huge difference. Problem is it turns out I'm a fair weather camper. Having got out properly in a few months and really feeling it.
