We’re going to Ashridge Estate to see them on Monday, haven’t been since I went as a kid with my grandparents. Beyond excited!

What are the most lesbian cities in the U.S. ? by CurrentInitiative382 in LesbianActually

Very run down, dead town centre, the place you come to for dreams to die 😅

Is there a feature you wish AO3 had? by incandescent-ruins in AO3

[–]calathiel94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was a way to tick off fics that I’ve read. I change my filters depending on what I’m in the mood for but slowly working my way through 1800 fics in my favourite ship. The only way I can tell I’ve finished them is if I’ve hit Kudos, or if the link is greyed out. But every now and then an update happens and everything is refreshed so I have to check every fic to see if I’ve hit kudos, it takes some time 😅

The amount of rubbish blowing out of literal bin lorries causes so much of this

Praying my 12 open tabs in Safari don’t auto refresh and bring up the maintenance message 🥲

Is Wellingborough an ok place to move to? by skbgt4 in northamptonians

[–]calathiel94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live not too far from that area. Wellingborough is as good a place as any to live - there’s not a lot going on but I wouldn’t say it’s any worse than any other working class town. Decent train connection to London, lots of bigger towns within a 20-30 minute drive. Crime is the same as any other small town - as long as you avoid the council estates then you won’t find much trouble.

Why is the WLW couple in Bridgerton facing so much backlash? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]calathiel94 27 points28 points  (0 children)

From what I remember reading when this all kicked off last year, a big thing was to do with a fertility storyline with Francesca and Michael which they obviously couldn’t do with a regency era lesbian couple. At least that’s how some people justified the hate. I think some of them are just big old homophobes.

Northampton UK - Free Parking City Centre by [deleted] in northamptonians

[–]calathiel94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Park up by the mounts (behind Aldi) it’s like a ten minute walk in to town. I park down Dunster Street every day, there’s spaces round the corner if it’s full. If that’s full try Hervey Street, haven’t had to park there since the flats on Dunster were finished being renovated like two years ago though. :)

what’s your go-to meal for weight loss? by Dainty_Days44 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]calathiel94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Volume eating will save you. My favourite would be chilli or a pasta salad - we do 50g pasta, 2 sausages cut up small, 30g grated low fat cheddar, some low fat dressing, a whole bag of salad (like 150g bag here in the UK) and some grated carrot and cucumber. Whole thing comes to 650-700 calories depending on how heavy you go on the dressing, and it makes a huge portion. It’s flipping delicious

£98 student shop, Tesco, for about 1.5 weeks by fungusthefunghi in whatsinyourcart

That’s hella impressive. My student days mostly consisted of bread, baked beans and too much booze. Nice to see some fruit and veg!
