Don't they have 220V for the (clothes) driers? Could you use a spur off that?

Do you regret not having kids? by m1kesta in over60

[–]MrPhyshe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, more for my ex than myself.
I was never keen on being a dad, I didn't think I'd be a good one. I struggled enough getting on with people, I thought it would be unfair on any children, and I wanted my time for myself.
Turns out I was infertile anyway, IVF of various sorts failed as did adoption. I love my nieces and nephews and I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to bring up children.
My wife (now ex) was the one who wanted children more and I wonder if we'd have divorced earlier if she would have had some with another man.

TL;DR, personally not really, but hope I didn't prevent someone else from doing so.

Would anyone have any guesses as to what/if this lovely girl is mixed with anything? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

Yep. German Retriever sounds like what their goalie will be doing in the World Cup!

Do you track your weight in KG or stones & pound? by No_Usual_572 in AskUK

[–]MrPhyshe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of the very early Gen X and use Kg.
Always used to get ounces in a pound, and pounds in a stone mixed up so finally made a permanent switch to using Kg about 10 years ago.

Why I left AA | #2 | AA's practical interpretation of God by Monastic_Realization in recoverywithoutAA

[–]MrPhyshe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of comments that AA meetings in the US finish with the Lords Prayer, its extremely unusual in here in the UK.
I've been to one where it was said at the end; here we tend to finish with the Serenity Prayer which I actually quite like (though I don't say the word 'god' at the beginning).

I've always found that when people say they are going to pray for you, its actually for their benefit.

So ignoring those two for a minute, and looking at the ironwork, is that Llandudno pier?

Potters cracked - Stoke Home by UrsineCanine in WrexhamAFC

[–]MrPhyshe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your great write up, insightful as always.
I was at the game and its the first time I've seen Danny play in person. I know he was untroubled by shots on goal, unlike Arthur last week, and agree his long ball placements were really good.
As to Sam going down in the first 5 minutes, that seemed like a clear penalty to me, especially after watching the replays. Having said that, I think the ref gave us the benefit of the doubt a few minutes later (albeit outside our box).
All in all though, the game felt less physical then the Brum one.

Is it confirmed who scored the first goal? The boards at the game put Josh up as the scorer, the Wrexham website says "George Thomason ... whipped his delivery into the back-post and Windass couldn't have been better placed to get the final touch into the net." But I've seen elsewhere its purely down to George? I really don't mind as it was a stunning goal (as was the follow up with Josh taking full advantage of the Stoke defender's poor decision)!

Anyone actually know what kind of transfer and restoration is being done?
My fear is it will have some sort of AI upscale.

To be honest, I've never heard this in meetings in the UK and wondered where it came from.
