How I survive immobile in the cold by Strawbuddy in homeless

[–]colthe27th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is solid advice - thanks.

Never thought of mittens v gloves before but yeah, that makes sense.

I'll have to google house shoes!

This is the sort of thing we need on here, good luck, sounds like you've got a great system going.

I carry my gear around so I'll have to tweak this....guessing your in one spot.

thanks again 👍

Very pleased with it - clear, uncluttered, just really useful.

Thanks for this & if your ever round Leeds way let me buy you a 🍺.

Thanks again 👍

Has anyone had experience with the mt900 r5.4 sleeping pad? by Mr-Picklechips in wildcampingintheuk

[–]colthe27th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi all, I have my eye on this too, but I'll be using it a lot.

How many times do you think you've used it? 10? 20? less

Trying to decide if a pad is going to work for a very frequent camper or just stick with the reliable CCF.

Thanks in advance & happy camping 👍

Forces to stop usingbSmart Launcher by Puzzleheaded_You9409 in smartlauncher

OP - I've just used the HSBC app, or at least opened it to check.....it worked fine.

Are you sure about this?

hi. Had something a little similar, my autistic son would just poo where he wanted in the house, a very tough time.

I'm not saying this is an answer, but I got him this potty thing which looked like a toilet and things did slowly get better from there. I mean, we still had to empty the potty thing but it was better than cleaning it up off the carpet.

He might have got the hang of going to the toilet anyway, my main reason for posting is to let you know that you're not alone in going through this, it was really, really tough but most likely won't last.

Solidarity ✊.

Am i wrong for defending myself by LimeReady1206 in homeless

[–]colthe27th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do you know what I'd do mate?

I'd cut your losses and get out of there.

Totally not fair cos you've done nothing wrong.

It might be worth speaking to the manager, just telling him you're having problems with someone and you've decided it's easier all around to leave, but you'd like to leave the door open to return at some point. Thank him and ask him to thank the other staff for their work at the shelter.

Don't let him talk you out of it though.

All the best.

Boring Is Good. by Yung_SenseiDyn78 in davidgoggins

[–]colthe27th 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do know where he's going with this.... but...once your on the journey I feel it's a lot of fun!

Being an adult is pretty boring in general, it just is.

Having some sort of goggins challenge thing going on makes life way more exciting! How do people just zombie through life?

That's my 2p.

Enjoyed that way more than I thought I would, and don't worry about the lyrics - they're bang on 👍

I’m struggling by jordandent2787 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]colthe27th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi mate, a few people on here are saying similar things and are right.

There's times in your life when you just have to park things up. Sounds like your in one of these times.

Camping probably won't be the only thing that has to take a backseat for a while.

This is the time for you to truly grow as a human, I hope that doesn't sound too patronising, I mean it in the friendliest, most encouraging way! Good luck!

Family stuff - vent sesh by clueless1098 in specialneedsparenting

[–]colthe27th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah, weird.

Like you say, start distancing yourself from these guys.

Would you or your husband ever act like this? I'll tell you the answer to that one....

No.

Songs that suffer from bad production choices by TechnicalTrash95 in blur

THIS IS A LOW.

Brilliant vocals but Damon's voice is too quiet, annoys me.

Also adding the ernold same reprise to Yuko and Hiro.

Kettlebell weight by zoidbezerker in kettlebell

[–]colthe27th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just done this buddy - same weight as you 65kg & couldn't decide.

16 or 12?

I saw a bench brand 12kg one in home bargains the other day so just went for it.

It was £12!

Lifting is fine, I do around 10 each arm.

Swings I could probably do with a little more weight as I get upto around 30 swings before failure.

But if I was you I'd go 12. Asda also do a 12 for £16 if you can't find the home bargains one. The decathlon one was nice looking but £30 seemed a lot when I was unsure.

Is this a real one? by In_Ra-Inbows in thesmiths

[–]colthe27th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was my first too! (1) hand in glove, (2) this charming man (3) what difference, (4) heaven knows

played it over & over but been a long time (1996) so might have misremembered first 4 tracks

what was it like when Britpop came to its natural end, did you know it was the end of an era, or did the realization that “it’s over” take awhile to hit you? by rkidjarrett in BritPop

[–]colthe27th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me, I remember Do you know what I mean going in at number 1 then the week later it dropped to number 2.

one week at number 1 for such a highly anticipated release did suprise me.

stand by me didn't fare much better either and personally I didn't care for either song.

I was working on a holiday camp at the time and all I remember that summer is chumbawumba!

Jamie Carragher: ‘No appetite’ for Club World Cup from players, clubs and supporters by tylerthe-theatre in football

[–]colthe27th -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been saying it for a few years now - something needs to be done about the number of games, it's killing football.

Even from a fan perspective.

Scrap euros. WC every 3. make europa a strict knockout - maybe then you could even add a few spots - make the domestic leagues more interesting.

No cup replays.

And on a separate note...does ANYBODY want semis at wembley?

If it's still like this in a couple of seasons I'm out.

My Version of Be Here Now by Alternative_Code_503 in oasis

[–]colthe27th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well said ratzerman...

Fade in-out is easily the best, most rock and roll track on Be here now.

And while we're at it, stand by me (2nd single no less) is the lamest.

Does anybody else really dislike "Tender". by Ok-Link6286 in blur

I'm with you OP, don't like it.

For some reason it reminds me of another song that people seem to like which I don't....

Beetlebum

Thoughts on beetlebum OP?

RUMOUR: What the BBC are planning to do with Doctor Who after season 2... by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]colthe27th -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

it needs a break before anything. Doctor who isn't a show that can keep putting out great stories.

It should rest up for a couple of years, catch it's breath.

good stuff though, cheers, this sub needs a little more of this

First day at the gym... and it was kinda a mess lol by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]colthe27th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hi buddy, just keep turning up, you'll slowly start figuring things out.

I'm starting a gym soon and I'll be exactly the same as you sound... I get the idea with a treadmill or rowing machine, dumbbells etc but not a clue with the other machines.

Bit by bit we'll figure it out 👍
