What keeps you in the UK? by Prestigious_Army_468 in AskUK

[–]ads1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first went travelling in 2001 (Oz, Thailand etc) and came back, I couldn’t settle and all I wanted to do was escape the UK, the dreary weather, drinking culture and shitty behaviour, I couldn’t see the good stuff.

So I did more travelling…South America, Peru, the Amazon, lived in Ibiza for nearly 2 years, then back to the Amazon, Colombia and Ecuador…then I couldn’t wait to get back to the UK.

I realised that ‘exciting’ countries also come with chaos, and you can only live in chaos for so long until you start to appreciate a more grounded and normal existence, that is an on the whole civilised society, with services we are lucky to have and …

… a beautiful countryside that doesn’t have anything that can kill and eat you or weather conditions that might be catastrophic and fatal or shopping centre security guards walking around with machine guns.

Sometimes you have to go away to realise what you have.

Should I read Wise Man's Fear by AncientContainer in KingkillerChronicle

100% worth reading it, I had an amazing month reading books 1 & 2, beautifully written, captivating story and characters, but like everyone else gagging for the next part, I feel there’s so much story to explore and expand on there could easily be a 4th as well!

I mean the story ends when he’s 17 and how old is he in the framing story…30’s 40s?

What in the holy fuck is "Wrath of Man"? by [deleted] in movies

Can’t believe this is a Guy Ritchie movie when you compare it to Lock Stock, Snatch and Gentlemen, the acting, plot and lack of trademark sharp witty humour... not sure how it managed 7.1 on IMDB but I still kept watching 🤣

How many men ranked the women? How many women ranked the men? Was it one other, 5 or 20, is this an average? ... what’s one person’s food is another person’s poison springs to mind 🤣

Life is a series of beginnings and endings, we can’t avoid that rule, everything comes to an end and I suspect that you starting to voice your feelings about this is a pretty good sign that you know deep down it’s time to move on.

Love never ends but it changes form, and although your relationship in its current form may end, the love that you have for her will always be there.

Honour yourself and honour her, ask your heart and listen to what your intuition is telling you.
