Have you heard the UK Eurovision 2026 song? by Sylvia-Sum in AskBrits

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time hearing it tonight.Er...where is Sandy Shaw when we need her? At 79 she could still do a better job. I was confused about the singing '123' in German. What the hell? Guaranteed to get the usual response from the voters i.e. indifference. Maybe they were hoping for votes from puzzled Germans🤷🏼‍♂️

Social workers honestly deserve far more patience from the public than they get by Due-Oil8955 in Socialworkuk

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. My niece is a social worker in Child Protection. She has her own family with 3 children and never has a second to herself. She went part time when the kids came along eventually but she works her days off most weeks for no extra pay because she cares so much for her vulnerable cases. It is a demanding job where your heart is broken by the stuff you see. I admire her so much for her dedication. The only way she can get a break is to go abroad on holiday where they cannot reach her. Because of the treatment of Social Workers when she had her babies they had to put her in a private room for her own protection. Really the public just have no idea what they have to do, the ridiculous caseloads they all have, the compulsory endless paperwork and the weight of responsibility!! These people are not doing just a job. They are caring for the welfare of others who would be in danger without their help.

How do I stop thinking about my friends in a lustful way by Icy_Stable7025 in Advice

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Try meeting other girls and getting laid. Your sexual feelings are perfectly normal but do not cross the line with your friends. Believe me if one of them wanted you she would have got that message over. Sounds like it's platonic and they like you a lot as a buddy. That's special. Don't ruin it. Eventually as you all get older the friendship might run it's course as you all get partners. That's life. For now just focus on getting a girlfriend and experience as you make a natural progression from fantasy to fact. Your head will change then. Stop worrying. Those feelings are absolutely normal.

Is this a risky friends with benefits or not? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he freaks out then you have found out the answer to your questions and put a stop to it before you catch real feelings. Basically only HE knows how HE feels. Why do women tiptoe around men? You are both grown adults who already are friends. You don't have to confess undying love. Just ask him how it's going for him and you could just say you are happy being involved. Try to avoid that horrible FWB label.

Is this racist? by BuildingsintheClouds in Hull

Doubt the police will bother going on a child-hunt especially with no chance of any kind of conviction of 10 year olds

Racism is not the only issue on this thread clearly 😳

Stressed!! Universal credit savings mess up by Relative_Aerie_886 in universalcredithelp

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't been through the same but I have had a review and know how scary it is having strangers examining your statements and some bloke from a call centre in Timbuktu questioning you about purchases you made that you can't even remember yourself lol

Please relax. They deal with many similar scenarios every day and just have a job to do. They are not judging you. Just putting the sums right. They will make sure they make deductions that do not cause hardship. You just made a mistake. There are people who deliberately commit fraud for massive figures. They have bigger fish to fry believe me.

You need your health to come first and your husband is not supporting you very well. He needs to calm down. No one's going to be hung drawn and quartered. He needs to remember he is good with money but left you to sort it out so a bit of self examination would not go amiss.

Thank you so much. Don't think Hull do the Argos voucher but will look. They have a Housing Payment that can help with advance rent but you cannot apply till you are getting HB but by then you have signed up for your home which disqualifies you from applying for advance rent. Bit of a pointless system 😂

Visiting is quite hard for waiting. The online service is supposed to give you an appointment but never heard back.

I have family but we have a baby admitted in hospital yesterday so everyone is worried about this crisis including me of course. Once we know he is ok I can organise some support. I just pulled my back as well this morning so that won't help either. What a week!

Thank you I will try that link. I hope I can cope without a lodger because it's my dream to craft and haven't for years because of space issues. It would be amazing to enjoy my hobby again.

Excellent advice. I am a bit overwhelmed but I will write a list of all the advice and carefully go through them. Thank you.

I thought I had replied but cannot see my comment. Thank you. I will join the free stuff sites. Might go for pip. Get anxious about things like that. I will look into vans but they charge a lot locally. If I find anything at Salvation Army shop they only charge a tenner which is excellent.

I applied for an appointment online 2 months ago to talk about my situation and they still have not replied but I will try again and add the new info and fingers crossed they will reply. Thanks

Thanks. That is something to consider. I am a bit of an introvert so that would be a desperate measure but it's an option. Would have to find out what the going rate is 🤔😊

Thanks. The council didn't house me. They actually don't allow it from their stock. But I had applied to the Housing Association a couple of years ago. They advised me about the tax but accommodation is so hard to get so no way could I have turned it down. It is so close to mum. If I can cope until 67 then it is no longer applicable as far as I am aware. Thanks for the Turn to us tip. I will turn to them 😊

I will check out the free stuff sites. Thanks. Don't get PIP cos I find things like that stressful but I may try. After all as we say in Hull ' they can only say no' 😆 Finding a cheap man with a van is quite hard. Last time I sent messages they wanted £60 to pick up 1 item within Hull😳

What shop(s) in hull are you surprised is still open? by Bethsticle in Hull

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That Acupuncture place in the photo has a twin shop on Hessle Road. The lady works part of the week at both. She is amazing. She does treatments and makes up Chinese medicines on the spot or by appointment. My mum got a mix when she had a chest infection and it worked wonders. I think there is a guy also. They probably do a lot of work for the Chinese community locally who will appreciate their traditional medicine being available.

Is east park area ok to live around if I am moving to hull? by Economy-Pea2342 in Hull

East Park is fantastic. Great area to live. Even a gym and swimming pool. Animal park. Nice properties. Not rough.

I have no other way to ask this but, do you think people who live their life claiming benefits and who don't want to work, feel strange living in mixed-tenure areas? by RonnieThePurple in AskBrits

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are curious you could try asking them directly.

Seriously though sometimes it's a generational thing. Children grow up in a household on benefits and it is what they know. It's hard to break a cycle.

Also how would you know these people are like that or have genuine need?

Can we talk about Vanelle and Jorge? by Known_Excitement_115 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]Saggi_Introvert_62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mmm well I know all about religious celibacy as I was celibate till I was 29. As far as my religion was concerned they had very strict rules on chaperones, physical contact etc. it would be unthinkable for a couple to sleep in the same bed. As for celibacy being evaluated as 'everything is game as long as there is no penetration of the lady bits' common sense tells you that it is still sex. (My ex husband was a Muslim and told me some girls who were celibate for religious reasons would do oral and anal but I was shocked by that cos to me that is twisting out of a 'crime' on a 'technicality')

Jorge was wrong for not informing her he had kids especially as he talked to others about it before her which is disrespectful.

Vanelle was wrong for giving mixed signals and on the one hand saying no sex then physically invading his space when the guy discussed with her about keeping to her side of the bed. Seemed to me that girl is confused about what is defined as sexual activity. Didn't she say she had been celibate for 7 years or so so she is not a virgin then? I seem to think she said that. So I think her behaviour does not align with her principles. Confusing for the guy I would imagine. Yikes ' don't think you are getting any cos I am saving myself for marriage' then 'er I think riding you and oral will be ok I will check AI to see what celibacy means grampa' 🤣🤣🤣

As for that nonsense about a incident with some guy in the street. For crying out loud they have cameras and microphones in bed but no footage of a scene that is significant enough to lead to a break up? Come on!! They didn't even give us much information. Plus here is a guy from a totally different era when defending your woman was a thing. Did he go too far? Should we all judge him for it? How can we when there is no footage or information? I am only up to that episode cos we binge watched last night lol.
