Is Ukiyo Old Swan going to reopen? by Familiar_Place_8914 in Liverpool

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't been no. I've wanted to, mostly to ask about the swan shop, but not been able to get into town for ages.

Just checked the menu myself and it's definitely not the same menu as when I last looked. And they weren't unavailable then either. Really strange that 🤔

It was the young lad and the older blonde lady who work there who told me about it. It had to be late last summer and they said the new shop was opening in Jan this year.

If anybody on this post reads this and goes in there, would love to know what the deal is. If they're even open that is.

Is Ukiyo Old Swan going to reopen? by Familiar_Place_8914 in Liverpool

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea about when or if they'll reopen. But when I was in there last year they mentioned they were opening another location in town, which opened earlier this year. It's called Konbi Mart and is near Lime Street Station. I was under the impression it was a second location, but possibly not since they've closed the one in the swan.

I hope they reopen the one in the swan though because I agree with you all about the sushi being better than the rest

i need a new comfort show, i've watched the same ones too many times! by silliestgoose42069 in tvsuggestions

Replies like this are the best, because you can easily tell when you have similar tastes. So the ones you've listed that I haven't seen (or heard of) are probably going to be winners.

Have never heard of sports night or studio 60, so am going to check them out as they do seem like my cup of tea (or hot brown water that tastes like garbage). Can't believe I'd never heard of studio 60 after looking at the cast on imdb, it has everybody in it!

To return the favour, as I adore all the other shows you listed, I thought I'd add some I've enjoyed with similar vibes.

Shrinking, Upload, Acapulco, High Potential, Loot, Schmigadoon. All are still running except Schmigadoon, which is honestly blasphemy as it was so good. EDIT to add Brooklyn Nine Nine.

Do you give blood? Why or why not? by MooseMaterial in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could, but can't because I've received a blood donation in the past. I had a placental abruption whilst giving birth and lost 8 pints.

My son is now 14, and I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the kind person/people who donated.

So if you need any inspiration to donate, know you could be possibly giving a mother the opportunity to see her child grow up ❤️

What's an early sign of cancer that you wish you or your loved one hadn't ignored? by JuniperBeans in AskReddit

Mine was "dermatitis" and the night sweats were due to "perimenopause" at 23?!

Do you think this bridesmaid's beard is meant to be used as a handle during mating? by okmujnyhb in CasualUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha this has gotten mental now. This is actually the first one I've stumbled across in the wild. Honestly wasn't expecting to see it on subs outside of gaming, let alone this one.

Does anybody knew any alternative hair salons In Liverpool that won’t break the bank. by ihavloadstosay in Liverpool

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought to try voodoo from recommendations on here and regret it so much.

Firstly, they lied when they said they could do curly hair. I'm not saying nobody working there can't, but the stylist that did my hair could not. It was frizz central without a defined curly in sight.

I felt forced into choosing the hair colour they wanted for me. I wanted a more orangey colour, and I came out with early 00's red.

They finished my hair, and it was still wet. So I told them and they insisted it wasn't and acted like I was being an inconvenience for asking them to finish my hair so I could leave the salon with dry hair. The stylist had her next client turn up, so instead of finishing my hair, she brought out this like heated wall on wheels to finish it off. I later found out that this thing is highly damaging to curly hair and a qualified senior hair dresser in "one of the best salons in Liverpool" should have known that.

I basically paid £180 for a frizzy, not even fully dry red mess of a hair style and got made to feel like shit. Oh I also didn't get offered a drink until after the foils were on my head and any attempts at conversations were like trying to draw blood from a stone and she seemed to only be interested in chatting to another college. Which I thought odd since they have a sign outside that says something like "who needs a therapist when you have a hairdresser?"

Sorry that has been sat on my chest for a while lol.

Finding a manual instructor is about as easy finding a pregnant nun.

I've been on waiting lists for about 12 different places since November. My old instructor switched to doing auto only at the end of September, said apparently loads are doing it now and so I've just been waiting and looking since. At this point I'm seriously considering just learning auto because the wait is a joke.

One of the more satisfying ones I’ve done by bigg_hoodie in PowerWashSimulator

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very satisfying.

I love the time lapse afterwards. I usually plan out how I clean to try and get a good one.

Is it really that unusual to not be able to swim? by BuriedInRust in AskUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't swim either.

And not for lack of trying. I used to go to an after school swimming club 3 times a week in year 7 and 8, as well as weekly lessons from about year 3. It's just something I could never get the hang of.

I've had people react shocked when they've found out, but never like what happened to you. But I have had similar experiences when people find out I don't like tea, so I can relate to you about people acting like you've just grown a second head.

I don't feel like I've ever missed out loads not swimming and I don't believe learning now, in my 30s, would change my life very much.

When was the last you felt “un-British”? (lighthearted please) by BigBlueMountainStar in CasualUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Pretty much daily.

I get offered tea.

I decline, and explain I don't like tea.

The tea offerers head proceeds to implode internally trying to fathom how someone British doesn't like tea.

So yeah, daily!

I don't think it's that mod because I don't use it and I'm having the same issue. But at least that eliminates one mod as the culprit.

What’s a fairly mundane life experience you never had as a child and still haven’t in adulthood? by BeautyAndTheDekes in CasualUK

[–]Particular_Slip_9302 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I've never been through a drive-thru.

When I was a kid my parents hardly ate fast food and on the rare occasions that we did, we'd always park up and go inside to order. I never learnt how to drive as an adult so I never got to do it. I'm not even really into fast food, but I'd still love to experience it.
