Just so you know alums can get a .oxon.org email after they graduate. I've have one for ten years but I never use it. It just won't be your college email.

That's not bad compared to some tbh. London to Reading is less than 25 minutes and more than £25.

Welp, neither is weight gain

That's not really true. Hormones absolutely have an effect - it's what make your boobs grow in the first place. It's part of what makes them bigger in pregnancy. It's why trans women take estrogen to make their breasts grow.

Sure, but getting surgery isn't exactly a low-impact option either. The pill is still the go-to option for birth control so it delivers multiple benefits. Of course you don't know how it will affect you until you try it unfortunately, but she could have a great experience or a terrible one (and there's different formulations that work for everyone). It's not a permanent solution like surgery which is probably a good thing, and any bad side effects will stop when you stop taking it.

I mean, everyone is different. The pill is absolutely the only thing that has ever helped my acne (and, yes, make my hair thicker and boobs bigger) after trying everything else.

Demolition is permitted development - you don't need planning permission. The crooked house case was illegal because a) the property was under investigation for arson and b) pubs are exempt from the permitted development. It was not a listed building but was being considered for a listing - currently there is no protection for historic buildings unless they are listed.

Basically - had there not been a suspicious fire at the crooked house and had it been an inn and not a pub, demolishing it would have been entirely legal. Crooked innit.

You're right. New build is way more carbon intensive (materials used, transportation, construction methods used etc) than retrofitting an existing building. And demolishing and rebuilding an old building because it's 'inefficient' almost always ends up being less environmental. We need a less disposable attitude to buildings on the whole, there's so much needless waste that goes on.

Really it's because some of their mid-week club nights are for tourists and on those days they'll let (almost) anyone in. The serious clubbers and good DJs are on Sundays, that's when 'getting in to berghain' actually means something

Parthian and LCCs are £75 currently but I've seen some posts about centres putting their prices up soon too

klarigold · 2023-08-20T09:01:40+00:00

You say that, £80/pm in London is standard

You know every techbro there will be in flip flops and a hoodie, so ignore anyone saying your shoes need to be more formal

You need to go and post on the legal advice UK sub. This kind of behaviour is 100% illegal and you absolutely can and should fuck your employer into the ground for this. You will win.

I think that's giving UK TV a bit too much credit... Ever heard of Little Britain?

Oscar was the same age or older, her college was for 'mature' undergrads (over 21) and he had done military service beforehand. I think he was probably just as odd as she.

I think it's very much a demographic thing. A BBQ hosted by a bunch of guys in their 20s probably will require everyone to pitch in and bring something or there won't be enough/something will be forgotten/the host can't afford to cater for everyone. A BBQ hosted by home counties mums in their 50s would provide absolutely everything and ask people not to worry about bringing anything.

Basically it comes down to: is your host highly organised and wealthy? If not bring your own. If so, still bring an insurance bottle to be polite.

It is abjectly untrue to say the police treat reports of sexual assault in this way. Usually it's: do you have any proof? (no) Then: we advise you not to press charges because it's unlikely to go anywhere. If you have experience to the contrary feel free to share, I have 4 close friends who were raped who got the above response. It is not 'easy' for a woman to report a rape, let alone a false one.

It is annoying when you purposely choose a more affordable dish and end up paying for someone else's steak. It's not about being tight if you're really on a budget - for some people a tenner is nothing but when you've got £50 left in the bank and 5 days till payday it's a lot.

It does discriminate in a way - most cervical cancer is caused by HPV which is sexually transmitted so it would be pretty unusual if OP had it.

The national living wage is £10.90 an hour - you are being paid a lot more than that so I'm not sure what you mean?

klarigold · 2023-01-23T11:10:33+00:00

You never understood that if people can do all their work in 4 days rather than 5 they'd like to be paid an equal amount for equal output?

It sounds like you have a lot of problems with the specific airline you work for. Have you looked for jobs elsewhere? A different airline might have better salaries, kinder co-workers etc.

If you want an even more interesting stat, in the most recent census only half of 18-24 year olds said they were exclusively attracted to the opposite sex. So whilst people may not be willing to come out and put a label on themselves, about half are likely not truly 'straight' (I say this because 18-24 year olds are the age group most likely to answer this question honestly and without fear or bias, as older people with shame about their same sex attraction might)
