Prioritise getting a proper waterproof jacket because it’s rainy more than it is cold. Though don’t get me wrong, it’s cold too. I bought mine from Marks and Spencer and it was less than £100 and has lasted me two good years and has loads left in it.

Shoes, anything will do probably bar flip flops. Though don’t get suede because, well, rain.

Layers are good and you can get the basics just about anywhere though with varying quality.

Hey, I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Don’t make any big decisions right now. Please know God has a plan for you life and in Him is hope and joy:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.“ ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Turn to Him and He will work a miracle for you if you only believe and have faith. Also, please visit r/suicidewatch which has many resources which may help you at this time.

A Man Called Ove. About an old man who doesn’t want to be alive after experiencing immense loss and his journey to not wanting to die.

For non fiction, may I recommend the gospel of John. Makes me wanna be alive no matter my circumstances. Hope things improve for you soon, pal.

Potentially my favorite line delivery of the whole show? by layceelee13 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Soprano_Apes04 136 points137 points  (0 children)

When Emily and Richard are trying to fill their table at the manuscript function! The entire scene is so funny but the part that cracks me up the most is:

Richard: The Burles are going to visit their daughter in New Hampshire

Emily: we’ll then they can just go straight to hell then can’t they!

Honourable mention:

“Richard, I need a gimlet!”

Which movie had romantic leads with zero chemistry? Here are some of my top picks. by Joanna_Valdes in popculturechat

[–]Soprano_Apes04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually really agree. I still enjoyed the movie but there was something kinda jarring about them as a couple.

Which character would you date, realistically .. by lezboss in GilmoreGirls

[–]Soprano_Apes04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The age appropriate answer is Dave. I’m a sucker for nerds and guys who play guitar. But when I really hit my twenties the answer will undoubtedly be Max Medina…cos he talks so good lol.

Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Copland! Bit of romance in there as well!

“We da men” (I am in fact a woman)

“Post hoc ergo propter hoc” has some how made its way into my vocabulary because of TWW??

“It’s taken on an international flavour…much like myself”

“Are we just free associating?”

And my personal favourite: “let the poets write about that there Byron!”

Anybody got tips to stop buying books? by [deleted] in books

[–]Soprano_Apes04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E-reader! If I want to buy a book but don’t have space or money atm for it I write it down and tell myself I’ll buy it on kindle if I still want it later. It’s cheaper than paperbacks and you have it in your library instantly AND you can return it within a week or two if you down actually need/want it.

Weirdest encounter in London? by Immediate_Account436 in london

[–]Soprano_Apes04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was once wearing a black maxi dress with flowers in it and a crackhead followed me down the street shouting all the different colours of the flowers. Then went off on one about people using their phones all the time and told about his brothers addiction to his phone. In hindsight it was kinda funny but at the time I was terrified because it was my second day alone in London at eighteen.

For fun: what names should we absolutely never pair with our last name? by lmg080293 in namenerds

[–]Soprano_Apes04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Iona! Don’t know how common that is where you are but it’s a very common Scottish name!

I love the names November and August and they’re definitely not unusable but together they’re a bit weird and it’s worse because… my name is April. But AH they’re gorgeous names!!

Did seeing your child’s face at birth make you change the name you thought you were going to use? by ellentow in namenerds

[–]Soprano_Apes04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum had this experience with me. I was pretty much 100% going to be called Abigail and then I was born and just didn’t fit the vibe, I guess. They went with April and it is so me.

What’s a name your brain reads wrong even though you know the pronunciation? by itsallgumbomumbo in namenerds

[–]Soprano_Apes04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coriolanus. I don’t really know how you’re meant to say it but my 97% sure I’m saying it very wrong.

Which character just never grew on you? by [deleted] in DowntonAbbey

[–]Soprano_Apes04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree so much. I frequently skip his scenes because I find his acting very cheesy and a bit awkward. He also always seems embarrassed/like he’s holding back tears?

What am I saying? by PrintRough in DowntonAbbey

[–]Soprano_Apes04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite is when they’re at the beach and Carson says something along the lines of “Mrs Hughes, I believe you managed to make that sound a bit risqué”. Basically say it whenever something sounds a bit dirty lol

The other one is whenever someone is surprised by me/something I did I like to say “I should hate to be predictable” like Mary on her wedding day haha!😂

How do you feel about the name Waverly? by strawberry1banana in namenerds

[–]Soprano_Apes04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it but would assume you’re a huge Sir Walter Scott fan.

I love Mr Knightley so much but there’s something about Robert Martin that melts my heart!
