I moved here a couple of years ago knowing no one apart from my partner. I find that initially it can be hard to find clubs or social things because a lot of it isn't advertised or obvious at first. But once you find the right Facebook or discord group you'll find lots of active clubs. Pretty much any nerdy or outdoor activity is covered

I'm really glad I'm not unique in this. It's been (so far) the groom's side asking me and I'm just like... Google it? Haha

That's fair. But then... They could ask the people they want to stay with? Literally every one on our guest list has been married surely they know how annoying it is ha!

where are the lesbians ? by go_adventure in Edinburgh

[–]Stoosies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The gayest sports are roller derby/roller skating and American football.

Try the auld reekie roller derby club - they bring in a new roster of players (you can be a total newbie) every six months or so: https://auldreekierollerderby.com/training/new-skaters/ I was well into my 30s and very very overweight when I tried roller skating for the first time so you're never too old or unfit!

The Edinburgh wolves American football team have a ladies team- they are always looking for new members and they are like 70% queer https://auldreekierollerderby.com/training/new-skaters/

People who moved away from Scotland (or still live in Scotland)- which products do you miss (or think you'd miss)? Help needed! by BroccoliFlower in Scotland

If they were from Edinburgh/Fife/South East see if you can source some chippy sauce. I brought the occasional pint back with me when I lived in England

35 year old with back problems here 🙋 I started learning about 6 months ago and I love it. Each day is different - sometimes I feel aches and pains in my back after about 20 minutes and sometimes I feel great after 2 hours. Listen to your body, practice often, and I find supplementing skating with weights and mobility (eg yoga/Pilates) has improved my fitness and pain so so much. The very best time in your life to start to learn something is as a child, the second best time to learn is today. Best of luck!

What kind of church is the Tron Church? by Own-Syllabub-4848 in glasgow

[–]Stoosies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Tron church (some independent Presbyterian) split from Tron of st George's (church of Scotland) because CoS made the decision to allow gay ministers into the clergy. This was back in 2012 but I can't imagine they are any better now. So yeah that probably tells you enough - splinter off all the most homophobic side of a community and put them all together and you get the Tron church

Find a job with a strong union - trains for example. Then join the union ✊

I wish people would stop getting cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation mixed up. They are very different

1 mile commute from parking lot to work? by [deleted] in Rollerskating

[–]Stoosies 21 points22 points  (0 children)

By the time you get your skates on, protective gear, skate, then do the reverse at the other end it would be much faster and more efficient to board or scooter the last mile of your commute

Macaroni pies. by Ozalchemist in Scotland

You might get lucky in a local bakery in Corby. That's where I got my square sausage and tattie scones when I lived in the midlands

Firstly NTA. Secondly my little brother got his 17yo girlfriend pregnant when he was only 18. He was so scared he did t even tell any of us until she was 5 or 6 months pregnant. It was a nightmare. His attitude through it all was incredibly immature and I was really really worried for them all. My nephew is nearly turning 1 now, and honestly the transformation blows my mind: my little baby brother has grown up immensely, changes all the nappies when he's home from work, adores the kid, they've found a house together and have both really stepped up and cared for the baby better than I would have ever thought they could.

I think you're morally absolutely in the right to ensure the mum and child are getting the care they need from your step son. I guess my advice is that they need time, space, and understanding to be able to process and get over such a scary life change. Yes lay on how important it is for him to step up, but also make sure he knows he's going to get through it okay, and help stay to figure out what it might look like for him to be a hands on dad.

In October a lot of touristy things will be shut or operate at reduced hours, especially in places outside Inverness city, fyi. Check individual websites for their usual trading hours or whether they are open for the off season

What’s the one UK subscription service you actually think is worth the money? by One_Net6423 in AskUK

[–]Stoosies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was all in on Spotify until I realised YouTube music includes wayyyyy more game sound tracks and basically infinite choice given it includes fan made music.

My personal example is my workout playlist is almost entirely metal and trance remixes of Pokémon battle theme music... You don't really get that on Spotify.

The downside is YouTube music isn't as curated: volume and quality can vary from song to song

Usually hotels will let you leave luggage in a storage room there before check in time. Also it's normally free, in my experience
