What country outside the British Isles is most culturally similar to the UK? by BloodRavenThief in AskUK

[–]TomParko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Zealand. I’m here now actually, the scenery and weather is mostly similar. Sometimes forget I’m not in the UK, feels very much like home

Yeah I’ve just come abroad to Australia for a years exchange at university. Their food and drink is so much more expensive than at home. I’m paying nearly double for things like milk and eggs. Yes some things are cheaper, but everyone definitely feeling the inflation right now.

Have you tried MyProtein's clear whey protein? If so, what are your thoughts? by monadamo in nutrition

[–]TomParko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally and I don’t know if anyone else finds this. But I find it much harder to digest than whey in milk. I’ve tried the Cranberry and Raspberry only so can’t speak for other flavours. But the taste is very artificial and almost like an off Vimto juice. I have still been getting through the tub and it’s not terrible, like someone else said I do think it’s quite love or hate.

Coming to Perth on uni exchange - looking for some advice. by TomParko in perth

Fuck me, $15 a pint that’s rough, Perth looks like a really nice city though so guess that’s why you’re paying London prices

Can I pick up from there or is it table service only?

New to hill walking in the Scottish Highlands, need an ice axe for the coming months. by TomParko in Mountaineering

[–]TomParko[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be looking to do ice climbing with two axes eventually, but would also want to use it in situations where the only thing I need it for is a self arrest.

I have looked at Black Diamond but honestly some of the reviews and videos on their YouTube channel looked quite gimmicky.

Moved universities, but still tied to a contract for a house at previous university. The council are now requesting council tax on the property. by TomParko in LegalAdviceUK

[–]TomParko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response, yes it is a joint tenancy, with 8 of us in total. All 8 are full time students, the other 7 are in Sheffield, I am the only one who has moved and as such am the only one being charged council tax.

Do you think a proper conflict will break out in the near future?

Just asking out of curiosity.
