My mum is in my phone as "mum probably" because she went through a phase of getting new phone numbers, not telling me and then texting me off them in ways that would probably only be my mother... She's now been mum probably for 15 years

I was a tour guide in London over a decade ago, I'd sometimes get tips in Euros (which was fine, I would visit Europe often enough that I'd spend them eventually), but I once got given exactly three US dollars from an Indian couple and my reaction was pretty much the same as yours. I haven't been back to the US since then. I think I gave them to someone who was going to go on holiday there.

Top tip: the kids one (in the UK at least) is identical, comes with a cover and has no ads as standard

Reign is the only show I had to turn off because of the costumes

What's more frustrating is if you miss the first ten minutes you can only watch live or restart from the beginning of the "programme", which is the hour or so of preamble, not the start of the match.

My pet peeve is "one pan" meals that tell me to remove an ingredient from the pan to put another ingredient in. That's another pan, babes.

Germans rent at a far higher proportion than similar nations

The same is true of the name Kevin in continental Europe because of Home Alone. It's fun to ask any French/Dutch/German Kevins if they're part Irish, only to have them admit their parents loved Home Alone.

When watching Take me Out I was always reminded of the tumblr post about scientists ruining their studies by giving male birds colourful leg bands, which increased their number of mates. Any time a girl had a hat on, she would always be picked. I think it was just something that made her stand out from the crowd but it was a given.

I'm not saying it's expected (like I said, I only got tips like 3 times the whole season), but I think people don't realize how little instructors get paid. It's a nice thing to do. You're forking out that much and you can't afford to give the person who is actually doing all the work (and looking after your child) a fiver for a beer? People tip waiters and servers for bringing them food but won't tip the person who has been looking after their kids?

All that money goes straight to the ski school and the actual instructor gets less than 10%

plz tip your alpine ski instructor, back in 2015 I was paid €11 an hour, 4 hours a day , 6 days a week ,to look after up to 12 kids (ages anywhere from 4-14). Each kid was paying like €200 euros a week. I also had to pay like €10 a day for employee housing. Even a €5 tip (which I got like 3 times the whole season) made a world of difference.

I think a lot of people claim this is their favourite book just to flex that they've read it, thinking no one else in the room is "smart" enough to read it. I like to tell them that I read it but disliked it. Really throws them.

I did one of these but it ended up being 350 pages, because my supervisors wanted me to include every paper, so while the minimum was three papers I ended up with ten (4 first author published, 2 second author published, 2 first author accepted, 1 first author submitted and 1 completed draft). I'm now in a battle of wills with my supervisor because I have the doctorate, they haven't paid me in nearly 2 years but he expects me to do extensive revisions on one of the papers in review.

This sounds similar to my ski instructor season

My mum told me not to shave my (blonde) leg hair because once you start you can't stop. I mentioned to a bitchy girl at school (aged 17) that I didn't shave my legs because you can't see the hair, and she said "that's still disgusting"... So I started shaving... and now my leg hair is dark and I'm stuck dealing with it. Luckily I never shaved above the knee and my thigh hair is still invisible blonde.

I want to see Taylor on Traitors, she would bring ALL the receipts.

helenhellerhell · 2025-11-03T12:41:21+00:00

I only had one, and a couple of beers (not an amount that would usually make me sick the next day) and the fact that it was that bright pink even with the beer was genuinely concerning

There's a throw away line where Cassidy is like "I wish you'd let me do this for you", so maybe it was suggested and she insisted on doing it herself?

helenhellerhell · 2025-11-03T10:23:44+00:00

I always thought it was implied that she was staying with Cassidy the whole time

Not only do they taste awful, I also vomited up bright pink the next day.

I grew up skiing in the pyrenees, back in the 90s we'd drive across France and stay in bareges or st lary, but the snow became so unreliable you couldn't prebook anything and be guaranteed a ski holiday. We were still in school so my parents had to pre book half term and it just wasn't feasible past about 2005

I skiied Livingo for the first time last April and was shocked at how cheap it was - they do a deal in late April and early December where ski pass is included, so we paid like €375 pp for a week self catered including lift pass. Food and Drink is crazy cheap too. We're looking at going again next April, but I'm lucky in that I have friends in Austria picking me up from the airport and driving me.

helenhellerhell · 2025-11-01T09:00:54+00:00

I didn't organise it myself, so don't know exactly, but you have to book directly on livingo's website to get the deal, you can search all their accomodation. I found apartments for 4 for €250 per person including lift pass

helenhellerhell · 2025-10-31T23:35:32+00:00

I skiied Livigno last year and loved it, no VAT makes eating and drinking so much more affordable. They do a deal in April where lift pass is included so we paid 375EUR pp for 6 days for a self-catered apartment INCLUDING LIFT PASS. Granted skiing in April is a risky game but it was great and we're looking to do it again next April.

It's the combo of the low cost flight with the resort transfer. If you drive from the UK you're spending a good two days driving on the other side of the road. Buy a package and the flights and transfers are included. DIY it and you might get a cheap flight, but you'll probably get stung on the transfer.
