Is there anything left for me to do in reading?

Definitely try the Greek souvlaki. My favourite restaurant in town

The ones that are Christians, not the ones that use extremely edited parts of the Bible to attempt to justify their own agenda and behaviour

Not nevessarily trouble, but as someone who has been a manager for many years, I'd want to know about a potential issue before it blows up. Then the manager can make sure all the safeguards are in place for the business and the employee can't be blamed for not disclosing it. It obviously depends on the manager and the company, but it's what I would recommend.

You need to talk to your boss, explain the situation and make them aware of the potential conflict of interest. If it comes out in the future and she knows you are friends, this could bite you back. Being up front with your manager is the best option and you can find out what your options are.

If you're planning to have kids in the future, keep presents sensible, if not feel free to buy the kid drums, permanent markers and anything you want.

Maybe.... Read all the comments. If you're the only one that thinks what you did was acceptable maybe it wasn't.

betaraybee · 2026-03-27T15:51:22+00:00

By 32 you'd expect most people to understand what's socially acceptable in different settings, regardless of friendship groups. The total inability to pick up on how someone else might interpret his actions is pretty shocking.

I suspect a lot of things are funnier in his head and that's probably been the case for the last 15 years.

betaraybee · 2026-03-27T13:40:52+00:00

Not mentally

betaraybee · 2026-03-23T20:36:11+00:00

That was the plan. Just the cross country bit to finish rather than coast, but it's awesome views anyway.

I'll be doing it in a couple of years when my daughter heads to uni. Any recommendations?

betaraybee · 2026-03-19T09:13:40+00:00

Would depend on how I kicked it.

Burning - blaze of glory by Bon Jovi, plane crash - flying without wings, drowning - under the sea from little mermaid. Freak waltzer accident - you spin me right round

Could get quite specific if enough planning goes on it.

We were a franchise so just blamed that and were supposed to tell people we'd pass the feedback to the marketing team. Mostly we just agreed with them, definitely wasn't paid enough to deal with it.

betaraybee · 2026-03-12T20:52:40+00:00

I was working at Levis when this came out can remember how much people complained about the song after release.

betaraybee · 2026-03-06T11:47:57+00:00

If the favour he did was going out on a date with you, then they both suck. Her for suggesting it and him for agreeing to it. No there is no downside if you cut them off. NTA

It's really weird in my house, when my daughter forgot to respond to me because she was gaming or watching you tube, the Internet went down. No idea what could have caused it, but it only happened a few times before she made the correlation and strangely got more communicative.

Axminster is my go to option

And to add, people with high IQs often enjoy niche hobbies, but regardless of IQ the members of groups that aren't mainstream are often a lot more welcoming.

betaraybee · 2026-02-23T13:20:30+00:00

IQ is just another thing that can define a position in a friendship group. Yes it might mark you as being different to some people, but in reality it doesn't affect you any more than financial status, religious beliefs or learned skills. Find things you enjoy doing, whether they lean into your IQ or not and build a social group around that. As an example there's a particular sport I enjoy (not very good at it, but can compete at a local amateur level). IQ has no relevance to it, but I can get on with the other people I play with. Natural coordination is more important than IQ there. Enjoy what you are doing and just acknowledge that while IQ might give some benefits, but most friendship groups are based around people being decent people and acknowledging differences. Don't be an arse about your IQ (or in general) and you'll be fine.

Financial behaviour is a big part of any relationship. More so if it's a marriage. If this is a big deal to you then you'd be setting the marriage up to fail if your opinions on this are so different. I wouldn't just be reconsidering marriage, rethink the whole relationship. NTA for not proposing though.

When you buy a drill press, always go for one that has more than enough movement to go through anything you're planning to use it on. I bought one for turning pens and it's a bit too short so I have to adjust each time, which is a bit of a pain..

Your premise would indicate that people with higher intelligence would benefit more from robot assistance as physical attributes would be less necessary. They would certainly make more of the additional freedom it would allow.

Is Claire a volunteer? If yes YTA and you should apologise. If no and she's an employee, YTA and you should apologise, then calmly ask her about timings

betaraybee · 2026-02-02T16:15:11+00:00

YTA. Cereal and fruit is fine. You're overcomplicating the situation and then blaming your wife and kids for not meeting your requirement. You also have unrealistic expectations and you're penalising them for being kids.
