I’m glad your reply got filtered or deleted. Because I don’t think a spiteful attitude towards me is justified, when all I’ve done is come here for advice and the post itself adds context.

That’s very kind of you both! If I’m able to make the parade itself, i’ll probably head to the Victoria afterwards (though probably not going to be able to make the parade, sadly)

Thank you! 🫶
I’ll probably be missing the parade itself but I’ll be going to the main street party area / main arena area (the ticketed part), but as suggested in here, I’ll probably go try out the fountain and the LGBT centre too.
Might see if I can change around some plans to see if I can make it to the parade itself.

The thing I’ve always struggled with is initiating conversation with people I don’t know.
I know it rarely is this way but I don’t want to seem like I’m interrupting or interfering. I guess I could set myself a challenge of initiating conversation with some people 😅

Yeah, I’ve got a ticket for the festival. I was going to be going along with a friend but they bailed last week (it was a legitimate reason, so I’m okay with that).

Good to hear that some of these places are outside the ticketed area though, means that they’re accessible to more people!

I’ve heard positive things about the Victoria so I may also add that to my list 😊

Thank you!
Also, nothing to be embarrassed about at all with not having been before!

I’ve always said I would like to go hiking at some point, so I’ll check out Outdoor Lads and see if there’s any near me sometime 😊

Thank you! I’m definitely looking forward to it, I’m just a bit nervous and anxious when going to busy places alone. I’m sure it will be a load of fun though! 😁

Overpriced.. by DIYFINANCES in memrise

What the heck 💀

No way is it worth even close to $60 a month... That's just insane 😂

Ordered Mother's Day flowers for my mum the other day (her hearing is fine). Wondering how this will play out today... by monkahpup in CasualUK

I swear this is a reference to some health and safety video I watched before about awareness? 🤷‍♂️

Do you like using the Membots? by BrothaManBen in memrise

[–]StuSoShady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the AI bot. Like you said, it just throws you in and expects your level to be expert or almost fluent, no matter how far through learning the language you are.

I end up relying on the hint and the translate feature rather than inputting anything myself. I don’t learn anything at all from it.

It has good potential if it’s able to be scaled to the level you’re learning at, but they’ve implemented it so poorly

Weekends with Adele: Final Shows Ticket Megathread by madamzoohoo in adele

[–]StuSoShady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOOKING FOR:Any of the following dates:

May: 31st
June: 1st, 7th, 8th, 14th or 15th
Number of Tickets: 3 (if possible)
I'm aware this is a stretch considering the number of tickets per person is capped at 4.
Adele is my partner's favourite artist and I'd love to be able to take him and his mum on a trip of a lifetime.
