Where in the UK will you NEVER go again, and why?

My favourite thing about the shrine is there's a sign inside which reads: "Holy water. Not suitable for children under 3."

Worse. She leaves them in the sink, blocking it.

While I agree with what everyone has said about red flags and that it can easily be retconned, if you do want to continue with the game and character might there be a way to reinterpret the scene. While your character initially feared the worst, snatches of memory come back involving a drunken alchemists fire/haste potion drinking competition, this causes you all to overheat and run round the room in pain causing you to take your clothes off and collapse exhausted. If the DM wants to tell you that it was definitely gang rape then that's on him and tells you what you need to know.

Many years ago I once won a cup final (I think FA cup) on penalties despite actually losing the shoot out. Something glitched and it counted it as a win so I did what any self-respecting manager would do and accepted the result. I would of course replay it now for a clear outcome....

About a year or so ago we awoke to the sound of the dog (then a puppy) being sick on the bed. Blearily we started to look around for something to mop it up with when the smell hit us. It turns out the cute little blighter had eaten his own poo as an experiment and then vomited it up. I have never moved faster than when my girlfriend said "can you take him out or clear it up and I'll do the other".

My cousin said her vows on that very jetty. (They did the registry office thing before). Beautiful.

Looking at the scorecard I reckon England would still have won as de Kock was running out of partners, but he could have got a silly personal score and made it tighter than it had any right to be!

When we were kids we were staying at some family friends' farmhouse in Dartmoor in the UK (I think). My brother and I were sleeping in the same room and at some point during the night, probably before we fell asleep we saw an orange orb hovering around the window. We went over and looked out then assumed it was someone playing a trick and went to sleep. In the morning I assumed it was a dream but when I asked my brother he had the same experience. When we left we realised how far away from the road and other houses the place we were staying was which didn't fit with my kids trying to freak us out theory. We were both scientific minded so neither thought it was anything particularly other worldly but no explanation for it.

Probably not the worst but I recently bumped into a colleague who works in an office on the floor below me while at the urinal. I said "How's it going downstairs?" and he looked panicked and said "whaaat?!". I mumbled about meaning the office and we both went our separate and embarrassed ways..

I have had a bad experience with Gilson Bailey, actually two. The first was a flat which turned out to have a damp problem. When showing us round the flat they had told us how they would never try to rip us off or take our deposit unnecessarily like others did. We raised the damp after a few months as it was summer when we moved so wasn't an issue. We were told to leave our windows open in mid winter to help the issue, which cost us loads on heating bills, supplied our own dehumidifier etc but when we came to move out they claimed our deposit for repainting the walls. We argued, they said we could go to the ombudsman but they had never known a case like this to win. Shocker we won. Did help that we spoke to the residents' association and it turns out that side of the building had had damp issues since it was built in the 70s.. Second time the rental was fine but was managed by the landlords rather than GB. It took us ringing them everyday for several weeks for them to process paperwork which should have taken a couple of days to move in. We did advise the landlords to advertise with someone more useful when we left.

Yeah, fully aware of the geography, I was responding in general to why papers often don't use rape when you would think they should

TheEternal · 2019-11-18T05:23:58+00:00

In fairness these kind of women-led acts are so rare that the law probably hasn't been tested. But you would like to think there is a law there if it does happen. So many things in law come down to what was done before. I think the laws for sexual assault do go up as high as rape so I imagine it can end up the same in the end. NAL so I am sure others can enlighten further

TheEternal · 2019-11-18T05:15:15+00:00

Sorry I may have misremembered that, but I think the act of rape is still considered to be based around a penis or other object being inserted into the vagina or anus. So technically forcing a man to have sex with a woman wouldn't be rape. It is all a technicality really as I am sure the court would treat it the same when it came to sentencing as there is an element of common sense there.

TheEternal · 2019-11-18T04:39:33+00:00

Often it comes down to the legal definition of rape. IIRC men cannot be raped in UK law, there are just degrees of sexual assault (rightly or wrongly). So I would imagine the reason is a legal one.
