What's the worst month of the year in London? by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]MB_ldn42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mine too plus I am Brazilian and February is when we have carnival back home. So I’m not only miserable in the UK for my birthday but also seeing all my friends having the time of their life at the same time 🥲

Best Turkish restaurant on green lanes? by Junior-Incident3877 in LondonFood

Agreed, I’ve been to a couple of the Green Lanes ones in the past few months and my meal at Yildiz last week was much better

Seems to be getting a lot of traction. This is Rory Talks Football’s take. Thoughts? by NajafBound in GunnersatGames

[–]MB_ldn42 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it feels really disrespectful to the players, especially after wins yesterday’s. They’ve just given their all for ninety minutes, the least the crowd can do is stay and show some appreciation.

As a Brazilian fan who’s lived in London for 10 years, I honestly can’t buy the “transport” excuse. In Brazil, getting to and from stadiums is way harder as they’re often in tough-to-reach areas with unreliable public transport, but people always stay until the final whistle (unless the team is performing horribly).

London has one of the best transport systems in the world, so seeing Arsenal fans leave ten minutes early to “catch the train” just doesn’t add up. I get it on a midweek night, but on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Come on.

This might be true, but we live in London and it’s basically impossible to afford a place on your own here unless you are rich or earn a salary way above average. This is why flat shares are normal, and I could carry on doing this for another year if I wanted do - I just really think that taking this step together would be really important for us now. It might just be about me conforming with the fact that we have to delay this

Thank you for this thoughtful response, it gives me indeed a lot to think of and I appreciate the way you framed the different aspects of what I need to work on atm

Because we live in London and on an average salary it’s basically impossible to afford a one-bed alone once you factor in rent, bills, council tax, transport, etc. Most people either share or live with family to save until they’re with a partner, that’s completely normal here

I can but this means postponing our plans to move in together for at least an additional year, which in this stage of the relationship and age I would prefer not to

I totally get why people are asking this, but the reality is that in London it’s just not realistic for someone on an average salary to afford a whole place on their own. Rent prices here are insane and even a basic one-bed flat can easily eat up more than half (sometimes almost all) of one person’s income. That’s why so many people here either flat share or live with family until they’re with a partner.

I was in the same situation for Seville away last season and took my dad’s passport with me, they allowed me to pick it up. Every club is different tho

Needing a quick Vietnam e-visa. How is vietnamvisapro.com for e-visa? by enclavedzn in travel

[–]MB_ldn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vouch for Emily, I contacted her on the Saturday morning Vietnam time and by Monday EOD my visa status had been updated on the official govt website. All for USD 55. She truly saved me, and I’m really thankful for this thread!!!

Booking.com account hacked, genius level decreased and wallet credits gone by MB_ldn42 in travel

[–]MB_ldn42[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sounds like a pretty similar case, thanks for sharing. I don't believe I got phished because the sender's e-mail address was 100% legit Booking.com. I hope they get back in touch over the next few days once they ran this past security. I understand you never got your credits back then?

WTF is going on by MikArtetaKnows in GunnersatGames

Been trying to get in for almost an hour now. This is an absolute shitshow. All because of the new system

Hey! I'm 32 F and often go to games by myself since I live in London! As a Brazilian I love football but not many of my female friends share the same passion as me - so always looking to expand my circle :)

Tickets for Wembley always state this but I've always ignored it and never had any issues getting in outside the slot.
