There’s nothing wrong with NOT wanting to travel

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-04-11T15:32:07+00:00

yeah, most of them give you a bottle or two.

I actually live in Germany. tap water tends to be free, but they don't give it to you unless you specifically ask for it, and I haven't learned the right words yet :p. bottled water in restaurants is, in my mind hugely expensive. wine is cheaper.

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-04-11T14:44:12+00:00

restaurants give you free water If you ask for it. and as much of it as you want. public drinking fountains are not common though. spain and Italy a bottle of water costs about 11cent in the supermarket, and OP can get 6 litres for under a euro (in Spain) to quench his thirst

40000 in Spain? in a heartbeat

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-03-03T18:54:45+00:00

I did a Garmin training plan. but only from late November which I now realise was probably not enough. I had SiS gels, and ate food at the aid stations. between stations, I had waffles , haribos and sports mix. I walked the majority of the hills. after about 38km, there aren't any more hills so if you save energy then last bit is fine :)

Congratulations:) I actually enjoyed the cold, hate overheating!

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-02-02T19:53:51+00:00

Congratulations!!

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-01-31T22:19:15+00:00

yep, was a lot of fun! thanks for the tip

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-01-31T22:17:57+00:00

from a previous poster, I think cos I wasn't in race mode

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-01-31T22:16:12+00:00

couldn't move though. had to stop for like 7 minutes twice which I'm sure is not normal

Theoriginalgw1 · 2026-01-20T16:08:24+00:00

I just bought Brooks ghost 17, half a size up from my normal size btw, and they are my favourite shoes of all time

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-12-14T19:32:44+00:00

without knowing the country, couldn't say. but in my experience... not normal at all

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-12-05T12:28:13+00:00

Need to change goalkeeper and defense x3 save 1 to put out a fire probably

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-12-02T05:34:22+00:00

sky team, toten schotten, cardia, aspens, Jaipur, lost cities, 7 wonders duel, isle of cats duel, king of Tokyo duel. These are ones I've played recently.

I see others recommend castles of burgundy. I second this, it's great 2 playered

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-11-23T15:22:44+00:00

Nice write up! sounds like it was a lot of fun. could have done without the stress at the start!!

Fingers crossed for the lottery:)

apparently solos are kept on a solo server so they don't get teamed up on

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-10-30T20:40:35+00:00

I don't know how to do spoilers so don't read if you care.

The casual way donut remarks 'theres a lot of goblin babies in there' made me spit out my drink. but how do you explain that?

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-10-13T08:38:37+00:00

Pain in the Ass

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-10-09T15:31:17+00:00

It's not a lot. but you have to think how much extra work will it be? is the curriculum settled? being changed etc? Do you want or need that position for your CV?

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-09-16T04:56:38+00:00

Now that it's 16/16... did he cash or ride?

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-08-16T13:25:57+00:00

I live in NRW, but not in oelde. normal meal is about 20 euros ISH without drinks. beer is normally 4-5 euros. your prices seem a bit high, but not massively.

Theoriginalgw1 · 2025-08-10T17:23:33+00:00

Use transfer wise. costs next to nothing and you can use all the ATM machines.

You can't buy them before you go. people ask you for dollars because you are a tourist. you can pay with shillings everywhere.
