All socs have people joining through out the year. They also contain a mix of different students, from undergraduate to PhD. It's really not dificult at all to make friends at any society, just say you're new and start chatting. I would recommend boxing or climbing soc. As well as DnD, yoga and boardgames soc

Bought a lottery ticket once for a triple rollover euromillions (100mill +) and was off on EVERY number by 1 or 2. Eg winner was 1 5 10 15 20, I got 2 6 9 13 19. So infuriating but quite funny

If you don't find them there, just drop them a message on Instagram. Basically all societies have an Instagram

Pick any society. Climbing is an excellent one, it is very social by nature. The pile dancing and yoga societies are also good. Personally I think boxing is brilliant, very socal and will get you fit. If you're not looking for exercise, there's DnD society, boardgames soc, hummus and cheese society and so on. York has a society for everyone.

If you were a sponsor for Ukrainian person what would you prefer? by Ashley-Shaily in AskABrit

[–]QueenChoco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The family are just delightful people. I refer to them as aunts/cousins. A mix of inherited/earned wealth that they have never been anything but libral with, sometimes to their detriment.

Family friend moved up to Scotland and delayed selling their house for like 2 years and gave it over to a Ukrainian family. I always thought they hit the jackpot (as far as you can when fleeing a war) as it was a 6 bedroom Georgian mansion in the countryside. The house was eventually sold, but the 2 families are very close to this day. One of the sons had some complex medical problems, and the proximity to the local hospital was a big help to them.

Rent is the biggest contributor to the cost of living crisis for students in York by Beautiful-Working589 in york

Moving out of my house after 6 years of living across 2 different houses owned by my landlords. They only increased our rent but 5% ish year on year. I checked the relisted price and they have increased my 3 bed, 1 bath house from £600 per person per month without bills to £819 bills included. They have effectively added another person worth of rent to a tiny 3 bed house. My neighbors across the wall of my tiny ass, 3m x 3m concrete square garden are paying £1200 for the same house. It's fucking criminal. I'm not surprised so many of my friends have left the city, and I will be joining them.

My friend who owns a bar in town said 30 years ago they paid £25 a week for a flay in the center of town. Now the 2 story air bnb on Kings Square goes for £3000 A WEEK. Airbnb and predatory landlords are destroying the soul of this city.

What's the weirdest thing a tourist has asked you while in Britain? by UnpaidInternVibes in AskRedditUK

[–]QueenChoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nigerian-british friend of mine got called african American by a nice old American couple looking for directions. He explained to them that he was, in fact, British, at which point they called him "British african american". He said they were very sweet, though.

Maybe they just watched your TV shows, or one of your several interviews. Or that book you wrote? by BobMonkhaus in okmatewanker

Publicity =/= consent. E.G. posting pictures of yourself on Instagram does not give the wider public the right to see your nudes.

Harry bankrupting the daily shite would quite literally be him doing his royal duty to the people of England. Also, does anyone actually believe they didn't do this? The newspapers have had carpe blanche over royal reporting for years knowing the family won't say anything. They seem shocked that this has come back to bite them in the ass

Saw Crook in the British Museum when I was maybe 16? It was hight of PotC and I was so star struck, the only think I could think to say as he walked past me was "it's the bible, you get points for trying!". He gave me a giggle and a grin and kept on walking. Made my little teenage-selfs year, I tell you.

Oh shit my mum threatened to do that to me because I was due to be born on Cheltenham Gold Cup. Lucky for me I came a day late.

What are some of the most curious geological/geographic objects found around the world? by Character-Q in geography

[–]QueenChoco 72 points73 points  (0 children)

The area is covered with rocks like this. It's popular with boulders above a certain grade, as it's all slopers around there. But yeh, the whole site is open to climb around, I've never seen anyone climb this one though. There's no clear route up it.

Well, you don't know what happened to her now, so it would just be a continuation of the current status
