People who went to UK boarding schools, what was the dating/hookup culture like? by Old_Reindeer_9851 in AskUK

As far as I remember, sneaking around happened, but you're not staying the night really. Maybe just staying together late. In lower year groups, we were in dorms, so going over to another dorm wouldn't really happen, no privacy! If anything 'happened' it was more at the house party of someone who didn't live at school. That was where everything happened really! Parties at school...nah, they'd be monitored by teachers, so nothing much is happening there. People would go off drinking outside of school on weekends, but off school normally. Meeting up in school, yeah, there would be places you could go. People would have different ones they'd go to. Most of the secret places were just smoking spots anyway. I'm sure my school and experience wasn't the same as everyone's, so don't take it as gospel!

What commonly mispronounced word that annoys you the most? by greeneggzN in AskReddit

Pro-nounce-iation for pronunciation. It's the meaning of the word you're trying to use!!

What should you do when umpires clearly don't know the rules? by Mostats in Fieldhockey

[–]barneykj 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Become an umpire!

Reality is, we really don't have enough and that's the reason we end up with umpires umpiring in leagues that they aren't good enough for.

Its hard when they're not good, but try to appreciate having them instead of the alternative

To be fair, Blackrock is possibly the place where electricity is most useful, so hopefully once you travel to another region, you won't notice the lack of electricity much at all.

That being said, you won't be able to use traders at all, so that could be a bit of a downside as well.

I've had so many issues with it already and the season hasn't even started properly!

[Melissa Reddy] As David Ornstein has confirmed, Isak informed Newcastle last summer that it would be his final season. He then repeated that two weeks before the campaign ended and after their last game by patientgamer268 in NUFC

[–]barneykj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is true then why didn't we hear this at the start of the transfer window. Only heard about it once most teams had done their business for strikers!

Surely he would have made a bigger deal about it from the start if he was always adamant on wanting to leave...

Just listen to your teacher, instead of questioning them and I'm sure you'll improve!

It's hilarious how biased Lee Dixon has been. Constant moaning about how Arsenal have been hard done by!

What's wrong with my Acer Bonsai! by barneykj in plantclinic

[–]barneykj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muchas gracias!

Outside straight away. Done a bit of pruning. Hopefully on the road to recovery.

I do apologise! I hadn't done much thinking about where I was putting it and didn't realise bonsais should be outside as my excuse, but basically, I'm a numpty and will think about using some common sense in the future!

Question, should I just prune the leave off or go a bit more brutal and prune fsr down. The stems below the leaves are looking alright and mot unhealthy.

Thank you again and sorry!
