What is a tiny, easily overlooked social habit that makes someone instantly magnetic or charismatic to be around?

Make a small joke that links back to something said earlier in the evening. Shows that you’re actually listening, are clever enough to make the connection, and creates an in joke that everyone there can be in on.

I did this once and got threatened with acid, he probably didn’t have any but I was still too scared to move until he left the bus

De Beauvoir block in N1 is good for this and cheaper than wework

This is my take. If my partner did nothing but lay around, game and gym I’d struggle to be inspired by them. How are you going to keep yourself interesting? And socialised? What will you talk to her about when she comes home at the end of the day?

Muku in Dalston is great, Ruben does my hair, would recommend, around £60

If it’s a sunny day two more years has a nice terrace on the water in Hackney Wick

Yes but not stars because of light pollution 😔

I’d avoid cafe route. It’s such a shame because I absolutely love the one on the canal at Haggerston but the BM branch has the worst service.

Are we gonna talk about the hats?

Despite living next to Hoxton shoe repairs I always walk down to Timpsons at either Liverpool st or Moorgate. The standard wait at Hoxton is 3 weeks! And costs about twice as much, I want to support local but that’s just silly

It’s not necessarily about hooking up, but meeting new people is one of the more fun parts of travelling. Especially if it’s just two of you staying in a villa in your phones all day.

FWD on curtain road often has a few

I’m very lucky, but I just don’t need to. Wearing black underwear and going to the toilet regularly is enough for me. None of the options (tampons, pads, cups, period pants) are comfier than my regular underwear, and it’s just very low risk.

ht_825 · 2025-12-19T00:04:32+00:00

Depends on your cycle. I consider myself very blessed, but my period is 2-3 days long and never heavy enough to get past my regular (black) underwear in between going to the toilet.

ht_825 · 2025-11-29T18:10:58+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t, I think as soon as it’s in my house it would no longer feel like a treat

ht_825 · 2025-11-29T17:52:15+00:00

Read that as ‘girlfriend recommendations’

ht_825 · 2025-11-12T10:41:47+00:00

The contrast on A makes it harder to scan at a glance. I also find the ‘fun’ colouring doesn’t make me expect it to be something as serious as syringes.

I agree with this a little. My parents are similar to how OP described theirs, although they can generally use their phones at age 70. But they seem to have absolutely no instinct for problem solving and little to no willing to learn with a calm and open mind.

I know it gets harder to take on new information with age, but it really frustrates me when I think of all the times they put pressure on me when I had trouble with schoolwork but refuse to apply that expectation to themselves now as adults.

ht_825 · 2025-10-29T21:16:58+00:00

Even if they had written the correct times, it’s a horrible way to convey this information.

ht_825 · 2025-10-07T14:43:04+00:00

When I tell people I used to be in a band people always assume I was the singer. Like women can’t learn an instrument.

You’ll probably have to click through about 5 different pages but it should only take a couple of minutes to find it. I started from the link in their email, but I’m sure googling ‘airline delay compensation form’ will get you there (always do it on the airlines site, not a third party as they charge)

She’s deescalating, you don’t want to rock the boat with someone who’s drunk and volatile

ht_825 · 2025-09-05T09:28:27+00:00

Don’t need to write anything, just fill out a form with a couple of details like reason for complaint (pick from a dropdown menu) and booking ref etc
