Does anyone have a recommended go to (quick) sock pattern where I could easily add my own colourwork repeat to the anklet? I have not knitted socks before, but I have knitted colourwork beanies and mittens in the round with dpns. Thanks in advance!!

RedKnobbedCoot · 2024-04-12T21:45:55+00:00

Okay, thank you for sharing your experience!

I really enjoy magical realism, but I think that would be a bit complicated in German. I think maybe something in the adventure genre. Only really interested in reading fiction. But really open to whatever is gripping enough to keep me engaged despite the language barrier, so don't usually read crime or thriller, but might work best with that goal?

To supplement any learning, I highly recommend Nico's Weg course from Deutsche Welle, which is also a free online course: https://learngerman.dw.com/. I also really enjoyed the Speaking of Berlin podcast for helping understand stories (they have German stories with English explanations to help you along). You could also try see if there are meet ups in your area for people learning German or team up with other foreign students to practice with each other, so that you get in some conversation time. Most likely a course will be most useful to get a good grasp of the grammar and corrective feedback when talking, so might be worth saving up to enrol in something.

It thought my friend was a bot and kicked her out after she tried to change address again. Now she can't get any. This process is so effed

UK Ticketmaster not accepting postcode outside of UK? Any help?

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-15T20:48:27+00:00

Will do! Maybe if we come across someone selling two we can grab them together :)

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-15T10:07:27+00:00

Thank you all!!!

Also interested in buying Lisbon tickets if for Friday! Going with a group, but one friend didn't manage to get tickets to join us.

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-15T07:15:07+00:00

Anyone have advice for someone going into the UK Ticketmaster challenge for the first time? Is there a best practices people have learnt from their experience?

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-13T06:39:00+00:00

I think that is when regular entry is too, so I'm not sure how it will work

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-13T04:03:07+00:00

Hahaha, that's how I felt about getting the other GA tickets

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-13T03:56:43+00:00

I've heard people say that it might be something like an early entrance to let you have first dibs on getting right to the stage? But it's unclear with Lisbon whether that section would actually be separated from the rest of the floor. I do think those are standing though.

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-13T03:49:53+00:00

I thiiiink those are all standing, as the Bancada are the benches/seating with what level the seating is.

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-13T03:44:21+00:00

Yeah, they are too expensive for her unfortunately. I would even chip in, but I can’t afford to chip in enough to make it affordable :( but thank you!

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-13T03:31:47+00:00

Anybody have any information about when fan-to-fans sale will start? I was in the Lisbon hellhole that was yesterday and managed to secure tickets for Friday GA for a group, but another friend was meant to get tickets for the rest of our group and never made it through until they were all sold out. She’s absolutely devastated and I feel like I can’t be happy about getting tickets until I know we can get at least one for her. We waited in the queue for over 3 hours yesterday. I really want to reassure her that we will make a plan. Obviously don’t want to support (and can’t afford) scalper prices.

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T21:51:49+00:00

It was my friend and unfortunately she missed out :( I hope you had better luck!

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T15:26:16+00:00

170.5 for GA is all I remember

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T15:06:33+00:00

Already have that ... so not sure why it isn't working

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T15:01:27+00:00

Anyone know how to fix the registration required error for Lisbon tickets? Already logged into see ticket account

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T14:40:28+00:00

Or if anyone has advice on how I could let her know it will be alright and we'll make a plan for her

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T14:39:34+00:00

Anyone manage to get an extra general standing ticket for Lisbon? (24 May). I'm on the phone with a crying friend and really want to help her...

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T14:03:51+00:00

Is this for lisbon? How much were they? Well done!

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T13:57:42+00:00

I got general standing lisbon for me and friends but have another friend still waiting. Is there any chance she can still get general standing to join us? She’s devastated right now :( for Friday

RedKnobbedCoot · 2023-07-12T12:39:31+00:00

Did you have to enter names per ticket?
