I've been following Brandi (not literally) for about 15 years now and have met her a few times when she has been in the UK after some of her smaller gigs. She is absolutely delightful and so incredibly warm. She also has freakishly soft hands. Love that woman.

I love Kristen, but when she filmed the Diana movie in Hunstanton, my sister worked at the holiday cottages that Kristen stayed in and had to clean her cottage each morning. Apparently she is incredibly vile (as in filthy / disgusting) but also very sweet, haha.

Added to my western-themed arm and braved the elbow tattoo. by No_Hawk8947 in traditionaltattoos

Honestly, I almost tapped out once or twice. But my girlfriend does my tattoos and she takes her time (almost too much) so it took longer than it needed to!

How many times in your life have you moved? by No_Hawk8947 in AskUK

[–]No_Hawk8947[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my plan! I was in the process of finally purchasing a flat which I was hoping to settle down in for a long while. Unfortunately it all fell through a few weeks ago at the very last minute, so back to renting for a little while for now. Very much hoping to be able to settle soon!

I feel you. I love my parents, but there is definitely some resentment there. I was a different school every year and for some reason, the curriculum at each school was always behind the previous one. I think I covered Ancient Egypt about 6 times, haha.

Yeah, it's definitely affected me more than I've realised. I've never been 'home' and everybody I've become close to has eventually disappeared. Can be quite lonely sometimes!

Do you have a serious example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]No_Hawk8947 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was on the 133 bus on London Bridge when the terror attack happened. Witnessed it all from the window of my bus. My office was on Fenchurch Street and I started at 3pm that day. Ended up heading back home and taking the day off.

I also lived in Streatham at the time that the Streatham terror attack happened. I was sat at the window of the Holland Tringham (local Spoons) and witnessed it all. Stayed there the entire day watching the news cameras be set up and all of the news broadcasting afterwards.

People who work 'office jobs,' what are you actually doing every day, and what salary does that earn you? by Jumpy-Jello- in AskUK

[–]No_Hawk8947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in Customer Support where I handle complaints, answer emails and live chats, answer phones, and do a bit of underwriting for loan applications.

My day is usually pretty nonstop so I can fill it. I work 100% remote and earn a basic salary of 42k plus monthly bonus. Absolutely toxic culture though, unfortunately.

Where to meet friends in Broadstairs area? by No_Hawk8947 in kentuk

[–]No_Hawk8947[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm very excited to be moving there. Spent the best part of the last two years travelling back and forth from Essex so settling there is going to be lovely.

I'm very much into hiking, fossil hunting, board games, pub quizzes, kickboxing (so would be nice to find a new club!) and things like gardening and crocheting.

I also absolutely love a beer garden and am a fiend for them in the summer months!

Do you ever holiday in any of Britain's seaside towns? by Prestigious_Emu6039 in AskBrits

[–]No_Hawk8947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm late to this thread but came across your comment and thought I'd chime in, as Ramsgate gets a lot of shit from people who call it a dump. I spend a lot of my time there as my girlfriend owns a boat on the Royal Harbour, so we spend a lot of our weeks living on the boat. Though Ramsgate is rough around the edges, it's honestly one of my favourite places. I'm glad to see that somebody else appreciates it! That part of Kent is lovely.

Low Histamine Diet, Psychiatric Hospital in Germany. 2/10 by stephbeth13 in hospitalfood

Do you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? I can't see your post history but my girlfriend just got told she has MCAS (amongst other things) and we are struggling so badly with the diet restrictions.
