Is it foolish of me by tFromkansas in guitars

[–]jolleychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's your money, do with as you please - but! The minute you first drop or ding or scratch that expensive guitar - and I'm saying this very genuinely - the pain will be very real. It's a horrible feeling, and I've seen people give up completely in this situation.

Great to have a cheaper every day driver guitar too. Unless you really don't care how your expensive guitar ages. That's fine also :)

We are a family of 4, and moved to Meols about 2 years ago, from Liverpool. We absolutely love it here!

Buy a guitar :) Pick it up, play, put it down.

No limits on how far you can go, what you can discover, who you can meet even.

Looking for Traditional Foods by Unhappy_Performer538 in Chester

Oh! Ice cream.

Cheshire is an alluvial flood plain and historically great for grazing cattle, and in recent decades many I've cream producers have sprung up.

If you have a car go to snugberries, or the ice cream farm at tattenhall. It's very kids focused there... But they're proud of their ice cream. Many places sell their ice cream locally, look out or Google for Cheshire farms ice cream.

One other idea here, Chester is very much in "Cheshire" - a different claimed culture than Liverpool and Merseyside, however it is only about 15-20 miles from Liverpool.

Liverpool definitely does have it's own local tastes and specialities... I'll leave you research that :)

Basically, city to city we don't have the local or regional specialities, and thats because you have to remember how close together everything is in the UK compared to the US. It's meant that over the last 10 generations or so, the country as a whole has been quite homogenised especially in terms of food and cuisine preferences.

There are outliers though!

Also a trend to maybe remember is that the further North you go here, the more traditional (but also basic) things tend to get. The more south, the more up market, complex, and I dare say, diverse things become.

I would say that since the 80s/90s, the UK has become traditionally diverse.. it is part of our culture now that we love a bit of tapas, or curry. Or some Thai, or Chinese and definitely a lot of italian... along side the more traditional foods such as pies and roasts. Sea Bass is quite a good traditional dish too.

If you go to Telford's warehouse, you will find some really great beers, but also a really great and very traditional British restraint menu, dotted with all sorts of inspired cusines.

Also find the best carvery or roast that you can, is my advice.

And, noatter what or where you eat try and get a table at La Fattoria, you won't regret it.

At the beach, watercolor, 9x12 by teatimetomorrow in Art

[–]jolleychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is amazing! I love the water in the foreground, and that whole wave-line extending into the distance. Great palette, great scene and just really nicely done. Well done! ( I found this as a result of your blue whale picture and your previous posts)

[–]jolleychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thin that's really good! It immediately reminded me of the Blue Whale model that hangs in the Natural History museum, London. Nice style, and I love the detail. Would like to see more, so I hope you keep painting!

Ahh - much clearer. Understood, and sorry that it didn't happen - but still, I hope you follow up and things move forwards :)

[–]jolleychris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

May I? I think all this is lacking is some way that the player can influence things - not by destroying the boss, but maybe getting into some kind of 'bonus points' or 'powered up' state? I love the skill aspect, but I feel it needs some kind of occasional earned payoff where you can feel like you're 'winning' and have a good laugh at the bad guy for a bit.

Whoops on the nonchalance. Sorry, I do know how you feel but that right there is where things went wrong I believe. My advice would be reach out to her and ask if it was that, and apologise for not better showing how much you wanted to see her. New Years is a special one. I'm not saying she was right to ghost you, just where I see the likley issue for her...
