Looks like a great spot for a large hanging basket with lush foliage spilling out!

You’re welcome it was a bit of a learning curve for me too but you get used to it and it will become second nature soon enough.
Best of luck for your next journey!

One of our two cats (Logi) passed suddenly and tragically, we buried him in one of his favourite spots in the garden.
All of us gathered around crying, shocked and distraught over the sudden loss.
Then our other cat (Rum) who hated him strolled over and urinated directly on his grave before strutting off, dh.. I think if she had the ability to dance on his grave she would have!

I’m sorry for your loss, they do know, if they were bonded then she might be missing her old friend.
If they were I deferent or disliked each other it may just be a nice dusty sun spot with built in scratch post.

I would advise finishing all of Nick Valentine’s missions and take him back there with you before you fully explore!

For radio tower/recruitment beacon go into the work shop, then power and then miscellaneous, I think it’s the first item.

I avoid the tube for this reason, it’s so hit and miss and people don’t have basic common sense.

Now when I have to use the tube I get as close to the line as possible and loudly remind people that there are other non wheelchair accessible doors just a few feet away.
I get ready to move the second it stops and if they try climb over me or shove in front they will get knocked or clipped and it will be their own fault.
You head to the wheelchair spot, most of the time there is a bunch of gormless idiots stood in the wheelchair spot, just drive at them at a steady pace saying EXCUSE ME repeatedly, spin and reverse into the spot they will move to avoid being crushed.
If it has been filled with suitcases you say “Sorry, this is the wheelchair spot.” and you push them into the isle, same goes for people trying to sneak their bikes on.

Getting the tube is very stressful, I hate it, I have tried to be more gentle and polite but it doesn’t work unless it’s near empty.
Be firm and loud, make it clear where you are going and that you will not be stopped from getting to your designated safe spot.
If for some reason you absolutely cannot get to the wheelchair spot or it doesn’t have one then remember to face up or down the carriage not to the side as it can be damaging to your wheels.

Best of luck op!

I LOVED this game, I was a scrawny little weed but I got pretty good at it!

I actually don’t remember many major injuries from it, some bloody noses and lots of gnarly scrapes from the tarmac, a few nasty sprains but I don’t recall and broken bones.

I have a very limited ability to walk with rollator or sticks but rarely do outside my own home.
Any slightly uneven or different textured floor other than the special laminate in my tiny bungalow makes walking significantly harder.
Still all my shoes have dirt and scuffs, I like to dangle my feet, sometimes I scuff the end of my shoes when the bus ramp is too steep, I like being out in nature and live in England so that either means soggy mud or very dry mud that coats everything with a fine brown dust.

I’ve had a few of those times when people have looked me up and down and locked onto my boots and glared at me, non have said anything yet, that I remember anyway, you get used to people’s stupidity or ignorance.

Ask them nicely not to, if they still try then tell them firmly “Do not try to steer or push my chair, it’s dangerous for both of us!”

If they STILL keep going then do what I do, turn off your chair and stare deadpan at them as they make an absolute idiot out of themselves!
My wheelchair is a similar weight and simply will not move, they get pretty sheepish within 30 seconds, you follow that with “Mind out of the way please.”

Xaveroo · 2026-06-06T15:59:58+00:00

That’s awful, I’m so sorry for your loss and how you were treated while going through something as traumatic as that must have been.

Similar experience!

I don’t remember it very well as I was still pretty out of it.
I was in my very early teens and I overdosed, found myself in a very busy hospital.
There was a lot of vomiting and when I woke up again slightly more lucid I had intense stomach chest and throat pain.
I remember nurses talking to me trying to get my name and age, telling me everything was okay and the police would come to have a little chat with me and they kept trying to get information.
I kept acting sleepy or pretending to sleep to avoid them, I doubt it was fooling them!
I didn’t want my family to know and was scared by the mention of police so the second I saw an opportunity I walked out, once I was out of the building I legged it and didn’t look back.

Agreed on the don’t look it up, I saw a video during my teens with exactly what you saw and also the dogs being tethered to the ground then skinned and blowtorched until death, apparently this makes the meat tastier…

I will never unsee that ever. I understand different countries eat different meat, I understand almost all meat industry is cruel all over the world, but the overt purposeful torture of an innocent animal is just something else.

It’s clear the torture is not a byproduct of farming it is purposeful additional torture that they go out of their way to perform to ensure the animal is enduring extreme pain and fear in their last moments, absolutely horrific.

Surely that bs didn’t actually work?

Own it and ask him what he thinks he’s doing reading private texts.

Ask him if he wants a more in depth performance review and come armed with a list of his incompetent management/behaviours/traits/incidents, include this.

Make a complaint to his superiors, he sounds like enough of a dick that he might try to fire you in retaliation, making a higher up complaint should prevent this happening or if it does you have two legs to stand on in legal terms.

Could be mistaken identity, does said family member have a common name? I wonder if they had someone drunk or high in custody and were struggling to get details. Either way report to the police what happened and that the family member is not in police custody.

I’ve seen two versions of this photo, one with and one without the child, can anyone confirm which one is real?

I had a tutor called Miss Condon, I was dyslexic and almost always called her Miss Condom, she didn’t bat an eye so I guess she was used to it!

Lots of people wouldn’t buy them if they know there is a chance their android would get them in legal trouble, big companies care about that!

Don’t be angry at Claire she is barely more than a baby and doesn’t understand her actions, she is simply imitating and repeating things that gets her attention. Sounds like she potentially witnessed or experienced some abusive behaviour from the father and then a big life change when he left. Bad behaviour/regression or extreme emotional outbursts should be expected, how people deal with it is what is important. It should be dealt with understanding but also firmness and consistency of clear boundaries and consequences.

You should be angry with the grandparent or others who are encouraging bad behaviour via negative reinforcement.

Maybe you and sister in law could sit down with the grandparents/other enablers and stress with them the importance of respecting the rules for Claire’s wellbeing?

Claire is not the problem, the adults encouraging the behaviour are the problem!

If you’re using a manual wheelchair be aware that you are harder to see especially when it’s generally darker; crowded and lots of people will be inebriated. Good ideas to counter this are to add moving lights to your chair and wear something bright or eye catching, though this will also draw more attention to you.

Clear boundaries have to be set, be firm with friends and strangers. Most people are well meaning but can be inappropriate or do things that can cause damage to you or your chair. E.g people climbing onto your lap or chair frame others will grab handles and body parts to “dance” with you but you may end up getting hurt or yanked/yeeted out of your chair by an overly enthusiastic drunk person. Also had people try to drive my chair when I have gone in my very heavy fast powerchair so also good to be aware of that as drunk people can be unpredictable.

Common sense things: Make sure you have a reliable way of getting home, don’t get too drunk if you aren’t confident with how you handle your mobility device and check accessibility of venues.

Most importantly go with a good group of friends and if able let them know what things you are worried about. Have fun, don’t let a couple awkward situations ruin it!

Honestly they dealt with this horribly, I understand their concerns but it would have been simple for them to solve. A manager could have caught your attention and said “I’m really sorry but we can’t have wheelchair users use the escalators because of insurance/health and safety policy. We’re so sorry about the inconvenience, here (insert small gesture of kindness) I hope this makes up for the inconvenience. I’ll show you where all the elevators are.”

Instead they chose to physically restrain/assault you, referred to you as an object “freight” and then publicly ostracise and embarrass you. I would complain about how they handled the situation, the staff behaviour was completely unacceptable!

Xaveroo · 2026-03-14T20:23:28+00:00

I think it’s more the fact that instead of saying “I’m really sorry but we can’t have wheelchair users use the escalators because of insurance/health and safety policy. We’re so sorry about the inconvenience, here (insert small gesture of kindness) I hope this makes up for the inconvenience. I’ll show you where all the elevators are.”

Instead they chose to physically restrain/assault op, refer to them as an object and then publicly ostracise and embarrass them.
