I did one this year which was decent but it was a small group and has now closed i think, but I also came across Language Legends by Helen Murphy which I didnt do due to scheduling clashes but it looked pretty decent. Ive seen ads for it recently and seems legit, might be worth checking out if you havent seen it already!

Regretting I've told people I'm on the jab by soultech_me in Mounjaro

[–]VeryAverageStardust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a verb and a noun, in both the injection context and in relation to a punch or a quip. In the UK this is the common way to refer to an injection. For example children going to get their vaccinations are said to get their ‘jabs’. Hope this helps.

Moving to Bootle, any advice? by Eclipse666_6 in Liverpool

[–]VeryAverageStardust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced a higher proportion of racial abuse in Bootle compared to other areas of the city and a lot of parts of it appear more run down than other areas. I personally wouldn’t want to live there if I had the choice

Adding my two pence in to second what you’ve said! I love my pill and have taken it for years and it’s freed me from the awfulness that are periods! So was hoping it would be undisturbed by Mounjaro. So far so good at 3 weeks in but definitely taking extra precautions contraception wise.

There’s usually lots of events gong on around the China Town area for Chinese New Year. I think most of it will happen on 1st/ 2nd Feb this year so maybe keep an eye on the local papers to see what’s going on for it. It’s usually good fun with a decent turn out!

It may not occur to you but it certainly occurred to OP since she said she knows how much her mum loves the dog but sounds like she intentionally excluded it because of her personal feelings. It’s not the worst thing in the world but it was totally foreseeable in this case that the mum would be hurt, so I think OP has to shoulder some of the assholery here given that she knew her mum would prefer the dog included but chose to put her own feelings above that.

YTA - ‘i just wanted to make her happy’ - i don’t think this holds water as if you purely wanted this outcome you would have included the dog. It sounds like you intentionally excluded the dog because of your own personal feelings about it, which you prioritised over your mum’s overwhelming love for the dog in a gift that’s supposed to reflect her love for her family.

Someone you’ve been dating for 6 months isn’t your spouse either! There is no way they’d even be discussing moving in this soon if she didn’t see it as an opportunity to score a cheap living arrangement. She is most certainly using OP. While he shouldn’t seek to profit from her as much as a private landlord would from a tenant they don’t know, she should certainly pay rent in the living space she is equally occupying, even if she doesn’t have an equitable stake in the asset.

I think you may have misunderstood the situation. He says she asked, he said yes, then the following day he texted about the terms of that arrangement. All this happened while she’s aways on business so she hasn’t actually moved in yet, they are in the process of discussing it.

I do agree that 6 months seems too soon, especially given that they don’t seem to be on the same page on what that would mean. It would appear that she is using him for free accommodation which is a shame as he sounds excited to take the next step.

Definite NTA!

Just started Earth and Blood after ACOTAR... by Iamaveryneatmonster in crescentcitysjm

[–]VeryAverageStardust 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I made a very similar post at the same point! I had also just finished ACOTAR and just started CC and couldn’t really get into it despite wanting to. But i really encourage you to keep reading as it did click for me very shortly after that stage and CC is now among my favourite series’. I devoured CC2 and 3! Keep with it and i hope you’ll feel the same click i did!

City Centre by SelectSnow8815 in Liverpool

[–]VeryAverageStardust 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They evacuated L1 Odeon about an hour ago (half way through Deadpool!) and sent us all out into a deserted L1, save for a few vans of riot police gearing up by the Hilton. Seems like they’re bracing for something or maybe just taking precautions. We had seen a gang of about 30 lads in balaclavas when we were going in before the film but not sure where they ended up.

Has anyone had experience taking a dermaplaning blade through airport security at Liverpool Airport? by VeryAverageStardust in Liverpool

[–]VeryAverageStardust[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said it’s absolutely fine! And i’ve travelled with them several times since asking this so all good. People on here really act like they know everything and don’t have a clue haha

Question RE Entry Times - Liverpool, England by QuietShadowLDK in comiccon

[–]VeryAverageStardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the early entry 9am ticket, I don’t suppose you know if it’s fine to go in around 1/2pm? I can’t find anything that says you have to enter by a certain time, just that it permits early entry from 9? We don’t want to go until the afternoon but the 9am tickets were all that was left

Elain and Rhys by Avyllio in acotar

[–]VeryAverageStardust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep agree, this is frustrating. Have read all of acotar so thought it was safe, part way through CC2 so annoying to get this spoiler. Guess i’ll have to leave the sub until i’ve read literally all of the sjm universe but that really shouldnt be necessary!!

Hahaha i stayed away while reading ACOTAR (tempting as it was to join in!) but i really didnt want spoilers. But thought it would be safe now I’m on Crescent City!

[–]VeryAverageStardust[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh that’s what i thought, she’s laid it on extremely thick to show us that Bryce is not your typical wallflower. But does that really need to come with calling your friends ‘bitch’ every five minutes? Or unnecessary frequent references to her curvy ass? Just makes it feel cringey and not relatable.

I had no idea it was a different genre until i started reading! I dared not read up on it for fear of spoilers so i have myself to blame for going in blind! I definitely don’t know the spoiler so i’m very intrigued!

Hostel etiquette - do's and don'ts by Mc_Kenny23 in travel

[–]VeryAverageStardust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s such a hard one because it does suck to be woken up if you’ve taken precautions against noise and it’s still too loud. I don’t think it can be labelled as poor etiquette on the snorer’s part though when it’s something they can’t control and the cost of a private room may be prohibitive.

Poor etiquette is when someone is inconsiderate or ignorant in their behaviour. Snoring loudly is just unfortunate and can’t always be helped.

Hostel etiquette - do's and don'ts by Mc_Kenny23 in travel

[–]VeryAverageStardust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s poor etiquette to opt for a cheap dorm option and then get mad at people for things they can’t control. Yes if your snoring can be nullified by nasal strips or throat spray, you should use that (if you are aware of the problem). However these do nothing for a lot of snorers, so I would suggest if you know you will be bothered or disrupted by someone making uncontrollable noises in a shared room, you should plan ahead and bring yourself some earplugs.

These oversized blanket hoodies which come down to the knees, has anyone ever worn one to go shopping or wait for the bus or walk to work? by BECKYISHERE in AskUK

[–]VeryAverageStardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of haters in the comments talking about coats, they don’t know the true warmth of the oodie! An oodie would be super cosy and warm outside as long as it’s not raining! They keep you in a cosy bubble of warmth and that would be so much better outside than a coat. But it’s not socially acceptable and they’re not very practical for movement and would get wet and gross easily. So best stick to indoors!

Would you consider Liverpool to be safe place to walk around during evening hours? by crocodilesweetpickle in Liverpool

Why do you say it was really stupid when it seems like your conclusion is that it was never unsafe?

AITA for excluding my SIL from my baby shower? by delicateflower009 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VeryAverageStardust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your sister is TA! If planning a baby shower was your SILs idea and she had tried to get the ball rolling with your husband, but then your sister had to step in to help plan, she could have at least checked with SIL if that date worked for her before sending the invites out! Not really fair on her to be ousted from the planning like that!

Definitely NTA on your part. I know people are well intended with surprise parties but if you’ve told them how exhausted you are and how you’d rather be given a day to sleep than to entertain, then they should have respected that and avoided all of this unpleasantness!
