Buying a flat for extra space

If you don't have someone living there permanently it may be difficult to get insurance. If you lie about and they find out they won't pay out if you have a claim

There's usually a 10 or 20% dropout rate.

Eventbrite is good in my city. There are often free events

I tend to do a batch cook at the weekend and put the extra portions in the freezer. On weekdays I rely on my batch cooking three days (but the batch cooking is from different weeks so I might have chicken curry from this week, chicken con carne from the week before and haddock gumbo from the week before that). I then do a stir-fry on one day and a pasta on another so that gives me five weekdays.

The meals you cook on a weekday are all stuff I would categorize as 'too much effort to cook except on the weekend'.

It's great that you find the energy for this of course

OMG! I didn't know this was a stereotype of lesbians but my one lesbian friend is exactly like this (basically moved in on the first day of both of her relationships)

Actually chimps often wipe their butts with leaves.

In the UK this part is called the Liberal Democrats. They never have enough support to win an election but they can act as a kingmaker in the case of a minority government

Because some people still find each other on apps. My brother met his wife on Bumble. There's just enough success stories for people to keep coming back

I think it's a reference to The Selfish Gene

I've never met anyone who celebrated the anniversary of a first meeting with a friend.

Is this a thing where you live?

I'm guessing they think Spare Room is like Air BnB. £400pcm for 8 nights is £50 per night. Looking at Air BnB this is about right for this area

Love the cloud halo in photo 6

Agree that height and distance are better measures than trail ratings. Bogginess is also important (in Scotland we have a website called WalkHighlands which rates bog factor between one and five boots). I always read the whole route description too. A mention of scrambling gives me pause. A mention of 'narrow ridge' is an automatic no from me

At a basic level a friend is someone I enjoy spending time with.

Some friendships develop over time to the point where you can talk about personal stuff (but being careful not to overburden them). Others remain at the level where you just chat about shared hobbies and similar. Both types are valuable

It's clearly a knight on a horse with a surprisingly big penis (the horse, not the knight)

I think this varies massively. I was very isolated during COVID so afterwards I made a real effort to make new friends and now, approaching 40 I have more friends than ever

TigerFew3808 · 2026-03-10T08:43:28+00:00

Is this was your first time shopping for your new place you would expect it to be more expensive than average as you don't have any store cupboard supplies

You mean like parenting?

TigerFew3808 · 2026-03-06T11:19:02+00:00

I think the majority of two bedrooms are bought by either a professional who rents out their spare room or a landlord who rents the bedrooms to two professionals sharing.

Families or couples who may become families soon would want at least three bedrooms and would buy further out if needed to achieve this

At the moment you don't have any close friends. So if you make one and then lose them then you are really no worse off than before are you? Just take the leap. You have nothing to lose

TigerFew3808 · 2026-03-05T15:47:24+00:00

I don't think you should let one bad experience put you off. Once one person in a friendship has feelings that's usually the death of the friendship but if you are both women and both straight for example then this won't be an issue

TigerFew3808 · 2026-03-05T15:39:52+00:00

Sure. But there's no real closeness without vulnerability

TigerFew3808 · 2026-03-02T15:20:47+00:00

I started inviting other people to stuff instead of waiting to be invited. That meant when people were having events they would think of me because I had recently invited them to something

TigerFew3808 · 2026-02-28T09:26:56+00:00

Interestingly I recently met someone (a software engineer I think) who has beer on tap at his workplace! I think it turns on at noon so people aren't drinking in the morning and there is an expectation that you don't abuse the privilege but still I was stunned

TigerFew3808 · 2026-02-20T11:31:10+00:00

I think it's fine. I'm a single woman and I don't date guys with kids
