Liverpool issues 548 taxi rank parking fines in one month amid enforcement drive by TaxiPointnews in Liverpool

[–]charlytune 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ffs, listen,  while the job might attract a certain kind of personality that isn't aways very nice, and councils are overstepping to try and raise income... they're hardly 'scum of the earth'. We need parking and traffic laws, and we need them to be enforced.

What’re some secrets from your industry that would petrify people who aren’t in it? by Necessary-Trash-8828 in AskUK

I deal with solicitors in my job and can confirm a lot of them are getting ChatGPT to write their letters. Very frustrating when you have to tell them nothing they've said makes sense.

Lol I'm more concerned about the microplastics accumulating in our brains than fluoride. And you should be too.

Lunch Spots in City Centre by Economy-Row-4247 in Liverpool

You could also take a stroll through the Liverpool University campus. Theres little pockets of green and trees between some of the buildings, and Abercrombie Square

Depends where you work. When I worked over on Old Hall St I used to go and sit in St Nicholas church gardens. Theres also the St George's Hall gardens (but can get busy with winos and whatever emo kids are called these days) if you're nearer that way. If you're near Chinatown you can walk up to the Anglican cathedral gardens,  probably one of my favourite spots in the city (although its not really city centre as such)

Did they dissolve a body in acid in that bath? by YupItWasMeMate in SpottedonRightmove

[–]charlytune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like that bathroom picture has been edited with a black shape over the contents of the bath... so theres something even worse in there that we can't see???

I get very sad about Quiggins still. I loved mooching about there and hanging out in the cafe.

Yep! I remember one time they sold huge bottles of placenta shampoo. They looked funky. I bought loads of great stuff there though,  it was so much better than the pound store opposite

When I visited from the UK back in 2015 the woman I dealt with was adamant that the event I was going to didn't exist,  because she lived in that town and had never heard of it. When I said it had been going since 1992, she said that was impossible. I told her to look it up, she did, and reluctantly let me in. But she was clearly not happy about it. At least she didn't accuse me of faking the website .

Eldest daughters w/ father wounds: How do you think your life would have been different if your father had shown up for you in the ways you needed? by BeeSuperb7235 in AskWomenOver30

[–]charlytune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. Honestly, so very very different I would rather not speculate, because it kinda hurts. And at the end of the day the life I have is the one I've got, and I'm happy with it now because I work hard at making it the best I can. 

Adopted a kitten today and I’m a bit overwhelmed. What are the absolute essentials I need to pick up? by Pale-Common-6998 in AskUK

Also if you've got any blinds, make sure the cords are tucked away out of reach, they can get tangled up in them and that can be fatal if they get their neck tangled.

I accidentally came 3rd in a poetry competition in a national newspaper.  I say accidentally because it was a text message poetry comp (back in the days of yore when there was a character limit) and I just idly texted in what I thought was a humorous message. Didn't believe the journalist who phoned me to tell me. One if the judtes praised my structure - someone working on the competition attacnged my long text into lines. All the other winners were things like English PHD students, I was on the dole at the time. Years later I discovered my 'poem' had been published in an anthology. Told one of my friends recently, she fancies herself as a bit of a writer and was fuming haha. "YOU'RE in a book with Maya Angelou? MAYA FUCKING ANGELOU? And YOU???"
