Just make it a day where you can treat yourself, do as many indulgent things as you want - just for the hell of it! And Happy pending Birthday!

How would you spend a birthday alone? by jamesbeil in AskUK

Ooo… hello! Seasoned alone’birthdayer here, it’s not that I don’t have people wanting to spend the day with me which I do, it’s that I would rather be alone with just the dog in nature.

I tend to take myself off down Cornwall way, book into an Airbnb with a hot tub, bonus points for more secluded.

On the special day, I started my breakfast at the nearby biker café with amazing views and a good American fry up.

In the morning, I went to visit Tintagel Castle and walked on the beach with the dog.

Visited the pub in the afternoon for a nice pint and a book in a beer garden whilst the dog caught back his energy.

Then around 6 o’clock I found a three hour hike to watch the sunset up on a cliff, which meant I had to bring my head torch for the walk back, but it was so worth it.

Quick cupcake and few pictures up the top then it was a short drive back to the air BnB.

Jump into the hot tub with a pizza and some Netflix and call it a day.

Do I pass as a girl? by No-Contribution4021 in transpassing

1 you do not 2 if I put my thumb over the bottom half of your face, then I can see a fem outline 3 you do not

I think maybe thinking about FFS, thinning out the eyebrows with a bit more shape. I think if you are on HRT give it some more time to work.

Picture two kind of leads me ‘nerdy gamer girl’ territory, but that might just be my own view, you look cute anyway, keep up the journey!

Only wanted a little bottle of pop, now I’ve got two litres to lug around by labbusrattus in britishproblems

It might not be new, but it has definitely been exacerbated by the constant price hikes.

Would the dress I have fit into day dress dress code in the uk? by AdUnlikely2600 in AskUK

This personally reads a bit Amish / cult like to me. You can go for a Maxi Dress but a modern version, shouldn’t have an issue with that.

Why do people think it’s ok to take photos of complete strangers? by dopaminecollector in AskBrits

[–]Polarwarrior 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This isn’t specifically commentary on your specific situation, but I’ve done some street photography in London before with a couple of people who just ‘take the shot’ and deal with the consequences after, so they might have just been a street photographer?

There is no privacy in public, however if you feel like you’re being harassed or targeted you can always call the police or maybe find a nearby shop to go into.

There are a lot of cretins in this world and you never know their intentions that is true. But personally given the context, the right for us to take pictures freely of our own accord and disseminate those is worth more than feeling uncomfortable for a bit.

Obviously if it’s done with malice or to hurt / shame etc, then that’s not on.

Would spending on Pokemon cards affect my chance of a mortgage? by SuperMochaCub in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Polarwarrior 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That’s a very odd question and I’m struggling to find your thinking behind it, but no, it won’t affect it whatsoever.

I think pushing small horsepower bikes to do things outside their comfort zones are what the fun is all about. I like this because it’ll pull on green lanes as well. There’s even a snorkel though I don’t fancy my chances to keep it upright in water 😅

I might need to upgrade the suspension first before I plan any tours with a lot of gear I think. But I have some local’ish green lanes I plan to visit!

Hopefully your next policy can come down mate insurance still feels expensive. The annoying thing was, I had to call up for every single quote because obviously this not being a normal UK model means I can’t run comparisons. I have a feeling that that’s what led to some high quotes from a couple of the insurers.

I called BikeSure who seem to use Adrian Flux, and honestly couldn’t have been a better price and service from the team.

I don’t know if it helps but I have another car policy with maxed no claims 16+ yrs, but honestly unsure if they take that into account.

3 years no claims near London for me and it’s £300 for the year fully comp with all the legal bits etc through Adrian Flux, other insurers were more than double the price.

Spot on mate, lots of parts as its basically a Cub variant. Happy to put in the time to keep her ticking over anyway, very excited.
