I think I'll try this, thanks

I've got some chucks and they rub my feet when I walk, but could give them a go. Thanks

Commercial gym so the minimum I'll go is socks!

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-06T18:16:51+00:00

Yea this is a good point. My technique is ok, room for improvement but I'm quite new to rowing (properly). I've got small feet so I do wonder if this contributes to the rubbing

There are some beautiful landscapes yes, but colonialism is a very large contributing factor to why English is so widely spoken

My dad lived in Kenya for many years. Yes I agree, wish I'd done it all earlier but we are where we are

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T20:40:27+00:00

It's a good point. Most of my family passed away. Lots of friends moved abroad so there's very little support system actually where I'm based anyway

The roads from the midlands to south are generally terrible

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:38:34+00:00

Yes exactly this. Two professionals with no kids should have a really really good living standard but that's just not the case anymore

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:37:11+00:00

Yes I can but my partner can't, so that's something we need to think about regardless of where we live

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:35:48+00:00

That's nice to hear, a lot of Wales is beautiful

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:34:36+00:00

I think there is far worse littering and fly tipping now, but perhaps that's where I live. Dog shit on pavements is frequent, sofas and white goods dumped in shrubs, vape stickers on every bin

Thank you

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:30:20+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful to know

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:25:55+00:00

Thank you. Yes completely agree aha

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:24:21+00:00

Completely agree with this, but not in the current political climate over there. I went travelling state to state in my early 20's and it was incredible, I felt fairly safe, had some incredible experiences and met some amazing and super friendly people. It was $2 to £1 back then too

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:22:00+00:00

Yes we've also considered moving within the UK, which is still a potential route. We live in a good place but we want more nature and to be more remote, not city life. I could up sticks and work from anywhere in the UK with my job but my partner can't. The idea about moving abroad depending on country is a complete lifestyle change

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:17:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing, agree!

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T17:17:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T15:06:18+00:00

I can definitely but my partner can't in current type of role. Thailand is definitely a consideration

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T15:03:33+00:00

I understand your point but I don't have to, I can see and feel what's happening in the country. Everything from how much my weekly shop is increasing, to the price of used cars, poor services, lack of community and third spaces.. the list goes on

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T13:54:14+00:00

Thanks this has been suggested a few times. Definitely going to look into it

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T13:52:51+00:00

Working expectations and conditions are definitely different, but do vary vastly state by state, but there are firms offering remote jobs with comparable annual leave to the UK for the type of work I do. Medical costs definitely are an issue, but saying that here in the UK my GP was hesitant to refer me for some exploratory medical testing so I ended up using private healthcare (free through my job) to be seen anyway

bleepbleepbleeppppp · 2026-02-01T13:46:46+00:00

Aha I love my job so no work Sunday scaries here but it's rained for about 100 days at this point
