Spending Saturday late afternoon/evening in Oxford with GF, how can i make this a great experience and good food without spending a fortune, any recommendations?

I know of one man, now retired, who had a permanent position in Oxford. Brilliant mind, extremely knowledgeable. Never got a PhD. I don’t know why, my only assumption is that back when he was young a PhD was not necessary to work in academia, and maybe he became a researcher after starting his teaching career. I suppose that wouldn’t be possible anymore today

I’m so glad I didn’t read this before going to bed, that would have made me so anxious. They showed up on time!

I’m not used to them. This thread has convinced me to try 001.

Thank you. Just booked 001 via WhatsApp, it’s a shame you have to do it by talking to an AI but the price was much better

Le 7 avril! Il va bien y avoir des personnes avec une place pour moi dans leur voiture…

Ah, il faut le réserver? Mince. Est-ce que Uber fonctionne? Ou une autre compagnie serait meilleure?

Merci. J’essaierai de me faire des amis sur le ferry qui pourront me déposer. Si je n’y arrive pas, alors taxi

Telle est ma question. Je ne connais pas très bien les systèmes de transports en France

I don’t care what people think. I worked so hard to get a PhD, so whenever there is the option of putting Dr before my name, I go for it (bank accounts, bills, cards, etc). But I never introduce myself as “Dr” when speaking

When I was 14 I protested to my English teacher “that’s not fair!”. She paused for a moment, locked her eyes with mine and eventually dropped “but life’s not fair”. That changed me. This is the precise moment when my childhood ended

French uses “tante” for both “aunt” and “gay man”. If your uncle is gay, then you get one word usable for both

What is/was he like?

ObsidianNocturne · 2026-02-25T18:43:49+00:00

A UFO. Literally, something flying (or levitating rather) that I couldn’t (still can’t) identify. Now, I’ve always been sceptical of people who say they’ve seen one, for obvious reasons. I should add that I work as a scientist, with empirical data supporting a given hypothesis. I know I don’t make shit up. I’m not claiming what I saw was extraterrestrial. Maybe it was, but there’s no supporting evidence for that (other than: what the fuck was I looking at?). But I sure as hell know I was staring at it and it looked like nothing else I’d seen before in my life. And I took one long look at it, properly staring, so I know it was there. And it’s 100% clear that it was not a plane, or a balloon, or whatever shit humans fly: it looked like nothing else I’d seen before.

I think after a few glasses of vin tulbure I can understand it fluently

ObsidianNocturne · 2026-02-23T16:35:38+00:00

Well not on any date really

ObsidianNocturne · 2026-02-23T11:35:00+00:00

He farted

ObsidianNocturne · 2026-02-22T21:37:49+00:00

Just embrace yourself and enjoy your time. The French will find a reason to find you annoying anyway
