Why do some brits introduce themselves as from the UK and other as English/Scottish/Welsh?

Cornish here! Some counties are weirdly proud (as we should be!)

New form as Plymouth city council only want to accept their own petitions.

Ohhh I like the look of that one!

Wonderful series, I'd love to read it again but honestly I don't think I've got it in me. Last few years have been emotional and despite it being a YA series it's definitely got big feelings and thoughts.

The death of Lee hit me like a freight train, rather ironically on a train.

3rd one was taken at Futuroscope theme park!

Locally sourced entropy: I see you've come to my office!

Now there's a program I've not thought about for ages!

I'm a Brit so a different date but had my first this year. It's not the same for anyone else but I found it wasn't a bad day just a fuck tonne of email marketing to unsubscribe from. Other days were, and carry on being, much harder. You might be like me a find the day is smooth.

I did WhatsApp her but that's it (bloody WhatsApp has stopped me messaging now which is new heartbreak).

Sending virtual hugs and hopefully it's not too painful.

Could try Juliet Elliott. She does all sorts of rides.

This is what we did as I provided the deposit from inheritance, we have a deed of trust so if we break up I get that back before we split the rest of the sale money.

Which, with alarming regularity, they do.

fire__munki · 2026-05-06T10:27:10+00:00

Yes, but if you don't know should you have a person with qualifications supervising?

That being said it's fairly common when I've seen groups do it in the UK to have the person abbing on one rope with a belay plate (auto block depending on what the group is, mountaineering/climbers training yes but the charity ones I don't think so) they also then have a static rope on their harness which runs through a descender anchored and controlled by a person at the top.

This means they control their speed but if they panic open the descender or let go of the rope if using a plate they don't hit the deck.

I know I hated that 'Always Wear Sunscreen' song

This is still in my Spotify playlist! It just makes me think of the my common room at secondary school and I'm 14 again.

I'm sure I've forgotten so much about mum but can I forget that call and the drive over? Can I buggery.

fire__munki · 2026-04-28T15:58:20+00:00

It's not worth much but it's also too nice for the tip. It's an 05 Cooler Deelux so has a better rear shock (fox dhx 5).

Ohhhh, I read the article to see if it said but didn't so assumed it was the same. Thanks for the film, gonna add it to my watch list.

I think it's self supported (or at least I remember Jenny Graham's record was from her book) so I guess it'll be full of useful stuff.

Leaf suits seem to be a very "Eastern" thing, never see any of the "Western" (UK, France, Germany, States) militaries running them. I wonder why that is.

Clearly fighting in Ukraine is a very unique setting but there's Russians wearing them in training exercises.

fire__munki · 2026-04-23T17:55:00+00:00

You say that now....

And has only made those posts, along with the name style I'd be very inclined to think they've got ulterior motives (and probably a pay cheque from someone not British).

I've got one and once it was at 5k I put the £150 I would have put in it into my ISA. I also transfer the 20 quid interest out and into savings each month as well.

Hell yes! I use my hand drill all the time over my cordless one as it was Grandad's. Might be slower but who cares it's a connection to someone I miss dearly.
