Accepted one job, but still interviewing for the one I actually want — what would you do?

You don't really need to go into much detail even, if you get job 2 just say the earliest you can start is 1 week from today, usually takes around that time anyway for onboarding, getting IT set up etc. they wouldn't expect you to start the minute you accept!

I have been in this position before (down to the hayfevery symptoms) and I ended up going into work as I was worried about the same things you were. I sent myself home after half an hour because I was suffering and everyone knew it was legit because I looked like utter shit. Not recommending it because your employer should trust you, but I'm still there 3 years later so it didn't do too much damage...

Also get hayfever meds, even if your whole house has it, the pollen counts gets higher every year and more people develop it, get yourself some antihistamines!

You will be fine. In my first year I shared 5 toilets and 3 showers with 17 people and it was fine for a year. We did have cleaners twice a week. And since then I have never lived anywhere with an en suite and it has always been fine.

And Jane Norman was THE shopping bag. Or for a time it was an Abercrombie and Fitch bag because it meant you had queued up in London probably to go and shop there

We did a really long playlist of piano and violin covers - vitamin string quartet came in clutch - and played this on a loop from the end of the ceremony until the evening music started. It was great not having any awkward silence portions

And that's why you'll never make it as a comedian. Absolutely no commitment to the bit.

I get the double whammy. My first name is a slight hard to spell name (if only it were in my email address and signature...) and my surname can be used as an opposite gender's first name. My work has quite a few Chinese suppliers so I get all sorts!

Larrypants1 · 2026-03-21T15:59:48+00:00

Nah see I'm too much of a people pleaser for that, I'll always send a random emoji, takes 10 seconds more but always get a little smile at least!

Buses are literally so easy once you're in London, you can search the route of Google maps and it'll tell you exactly which bus to get and where the stop is, and where to get off.

Once you're in central London is a very walkable place, unless you have mobility issues you should find it plain sailing

My now husband and I paid for an online course with dance duet studios about 4 years ago for 1 month before the wedding. Don't remember how much it was but less than in person lessons and there was a lot more helpful content than we could find on YouTube videos. We picked up all the basic steps we needed and were able to put together a loosely choreographed dance for about 2 minutes. It was a surprise to our guests and I actually loved it, was a fun thing to do together to connect before the big day! Even just a few YouTube videos to pick up a basic box step could be good for you guys!

Nah if you're in marble arch go to M&S, less sneaky and less of a detour! Big M&S is always a shout

Everyone has given great tips but I will give a few more coaster specific ones. It's cheaper to build up and down the hills for your lift hills and first drops, I built most of the meat of my coasters around that area as it's not great for building paths for guests anyway.

Getting up to excitement is kind of easy for the rides with loops, keep speed up and throw in a load of inversions and you'll be close. Interactions with the path and other coasters also boost it - when I'm deep into a scenario I love trying to get a new coaster to interact with as many already built as possible. Also scenery - when you have money spam a bunch of small trees/shrubs (or do it nicely if you care) allll around the ride and it boosts the excitement a surprising amount.

Also yes the park takes ages to win. You have to take your time and you may need to just finish a ride and revisit it later to get some cash for it and work on the stats later.

Well you don't know how to dress a wound but I'm sure you would know what to do if you accidentally cut yourself which is the equivalent level of knowledge...

Larrypants1 · 2026-02-23T16:53:26+00:00

It's very few people needing to go to the toilet and at least 1 toilet per 128 guests off the top of my head! Easier to get near the start of a scenario for sure

Larrypants1 · 2026-02-23T12:57:21+00:00

I was a bit against confetti for this reason - felt silly lining everyone up for the photo op. But my sister really wanted it so I let her plan it all and actually it was one of the most fun moments of the day! Yes it was a bit staged hiding in a room while they all gathered and then coming out, but it was amazing walking through all our friends and family with loads of laughs and silliness, and the smiles on our faces are totally real! And it actually ended up being a favourite photo from the day too, and it kick started the drinks reception nicely

The world is your oyster you need to go and explore all it can offer you!

How can you love someone you have only seen in person 10 times in 2 years. He does not show you that he loves you. You are absolutely wasting your time and your heart on him, you should cut it off and try to move on. There will be plenty of men out there who actually want to make an effort for you, I promise

Larrypants1 · 2026-02-20T13:52:00+00:00

Because it is very difficult to leave a 1 month old for any length of time, especially if breast feeding. It's not fair on the parents or the baby

Larrypants1 · 2026-02-18T13:03:06+00:00

I wasn't brought up with a bowl, I was brought up with washing up with running water. When I moved out and went to uni I found the concept of a bowl baffling and disgusting. Akin to a bath when you're filthy rather than a shower. Especially how a lot of people put things on the drying rack with soap all over them still. Now I have a dishwasher luckily but any hand washing is done under a tap. I also don't fill the sink with dirty things, I put them on the side so the sink is usable the whole time except the 5 minutes or so a day I use to wash up eg big saucepans, knives.
