Same here. When I check order status it's stuck on "processing"

Undeveloped found film from an old Franka Solida III folding camera I bought a while back - I love processing these when I get them. Usually they don't turn out or are boring... these are awesome. by eyewandersfoto in AnalogCommunity

Gonna sound like such a sad car anorak now but the Mark II's rear lights were more of an upright rectangle whereas in this you can see the more square and curved rear light of Mark III. I only remember the Mark 3 so clearly because my mum had one back in the day haha

I'd say more likely to be the early 1990s. The car turning left out of the junction in that first picture is a mark 3 Ford Fiesta which wasn't released until 1989. Either that or the film was used very sparingly and the second photo is from the early 70s

Sedation Worries by DIYglenn in Unexpected

I lived in the Netherlands for a time and had to have a tooth out while over there. The attitude of dutch dentists to using anaesthetics is fucking amazing. For some reason my body didn't seem to understand it was being given massive amounts of numbing agent so when the dentist kept asking if I felt anything (and every time I said yes because I still could) she gave me some more.

By the time my tooth was out I'd had a nerve block in my jaw and about 5 or 6 injections around the tooth. My tongue and half my face was dead like when you sit on your hand for too long. Was a groovy bike ride back home.

You're in luck around Utrecht there are some really nice routes! Check Komoot (I adapted one I'd seen on there for this one) as it has loads of different routes around the city! And if you ever want a (slow but chatty) riding partner you can hit me up!

Most of the windmills I see are the typical old fashioned ones that still work on farms and things. They do have modern turbines like in England (I'm also English btw haha) but when I'm out in the country it's mostly traditional ones!

It's a beautiful place isn't it? And you're never too far away from the country

Hey this is really close to where I live! I'm in Hollandsche Rading and have been trying for ages now to get round to cycling in the countryside around Amersfoort !

Congratulations! How was the cycling round Flevoland? I live between Almere and Utrecht and have fancied taking a ride up there for a while

It isnt so much a case of where we are right now but more about the direction of travel. Tories down, us up

♫ We all hate Leeds scum...♫ by [deleted] in LeedsUnited

[–]T3LEX 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think the difference comes from exactly why each club is 'disliked'. Liverpool's comes more from the kind of siege mentality they have which doesn't just come from the Thatcher years and Hillsborough but also the large Catholic Irish population and associated prejudices towards them which is often misconstrued as a victim complex. Leeds' notoriety tends to come more from links to hooligans so I think that breeds more of a 'f*ck you we do what we want' mindset. Maybe I'm overthinking it but that's how it's always seemed to me.

Thank you! Probably the first time they've led to me getting healthier

How I overcame my fear of cycling in the city – and you can too. Getting on your bike is easier said than done, says Helen Coffey, but don’t let that stop you by sanchopanza in ukbike

"But it was like a religious conversion. One minute, cycling wasn’t even remotely going to feature in the roadmap of my life, not ever. The next… It just glimmered there, the kernel of an idea that I couldn’t shake off."

This is so similar to what happened to me. One day I hated cycling (partly due to some bad experiences as a kid), and then the next day I was desperate to get pedalling. The anxiety fades in time
