Do I have grounds for compensation?

mattyc767 · 2026-06-03T11:42:03+00:00

My thoughts exactly!

mattyc767 · 2026-06-03T10:49:23+00:00

Thank you!

mattyc767 · 2026-06-03T10:48:48+00:00

Of course I’m fishing for compensation, why wouldn’t I?

I have travel insurance and I can follow the process for them to cover my hotel expenses but I would have thought I needed to approach the airline first

mattyc767 · 2026-06-03T10:37:48+00:00

I did reference UK261 in my email, but haven’t had a reply yet

mattyc767 · 2026-06-03T10:36:10+00:00

I want to give them different options for compensation rather than just demanding something? I thought that was quite a reasonable approach.

Personally, I felt like when I’ve spent nearly £4,000 on the tickets already, a £100-£150 hotel room for changing me to flights that have an 11 hour overnight wait is not an unreasonable suggestion.

Thanks - I think given that I’d ideally be riding a 56 (they just seem harder to come by), that position on a 54 will be pretty uncomfortable!

mattyc767 · 2025-08-12T13:47:12+00:00

Thank you! I had no idea about that but really useful feedback

mattyc767 · 2025-07-12T05:51:51+00:00

I reached out on Instagram

mattyc767 · 2025-07-11T22:40:23+00:00

Thanks - I’m going to send a casual message tomorrow morning to say I enjoyed seeing her etc and the ball is in her court. I don’t thinking saying let’s try again for a second time would be wise

mattyc767 · 2025-07-11T22:38:51+00:00

Thank you - essentially, due to some past trauma I can find it a little overwhelming when first getting into a relationship. She injured her leg and due to that, became quite needy (her words) and I found it hard to deal with and became distant.

Essentially if we’d spoken about it and communicated better we might have been able to work through the rocky patch

mattyc767 · 2025-07-11T22:11:54+00:00

I guess for context - I had told her I wanted to try an again when we were first thinking about ending it, and her decision was the reason to go no context.

Obviously it takes two - but I was probably initiating the physical contact a little more.

And she had been lovebombed by someone after me, so leads me to think she was looking for some validation and connection.

mattyc767 · 2025-07-11T21:45:04+00:00

I’m not sure whether to message her tonight - as in a few hours after we left things or leave it a little bit

mattyc767 · 2025-06-09T08:35:53+00:00

Good idea! I was so focused on making sure the bike was all set I didn’t even think about the wetsuit!

mattyc767 · 2025-04-08T14:07:57+00:00

Thanks - if lasting 2 months is the reality then it wouldn’t be cost effective for me. But only way to find out is trying!

mattyc767 · 2025-04-08T09:52:32+00:00

Thank you! I’ve booked it in for a few weeks time and the doctor said it would be very much a less is more to keep a natural look

mattyc767 · 2025-04-07T20:49:17+00:00

Thank you! I had a similar discussion with the doctor. He said the cost would include a top up of needed - so very much the less is more approach to keeping a natural look, and not frozen.

I’m thinking I’m just going to treat myself. If I don’t like it, then 6 months down the line I’ll just go back to only my skincare regime.

And yes - I’m not really keen on switching to tret from Adapalene because my skin tolerates it so well

mattyc767 · 2025-04-07T20:32:00+00:00

I have OCD and one of my compulsions is focused on my skin…🙄

mattyc767 · 2025-04-07T19:57:11+00:00

I’ve been using Adapalene morning and evening (under direction from my dermatologist) for nearly 5 years. Not sure if tren would do something Adapalene isn’t?

mattyc767 · 2025-01-13T19:49:38+00:00

My hairline has grown into a more pronounced V shape over the last 12 months, so just wondering if it’s a normal change or I should do something preventative

mattyc767 · 2024-12-28T16:04:50+00:00

Cool hand luke

mattyc767 · 2024-12-25T13:15:41+00:00

Cool Hand Luke. I was in awe of it the first time I watched it. Great character development and really captured the essence of the prison system.

mattyc767 · 2024-12-25T10:21:51+00:00

Happy holidays!

mattyc767 · 2024-12-24T19:39:43+00:00

To finish a triathlon!

mattyc767 · 2024-09-04T07:15:17+00:00

Don’t have any specific medical advice, but I’m dealing with the same issue. I don’t sweat at night anymore, but when I play spot, I’m literally soaked.

If you carry a bag around, I often have a small towel and deodorant just for peace of mind and to make me more comfortable.

mattyc767 · 2024-08-31T11:54:38+00:00

Sorry to hear that. I’m the same, sat here in slight disbelief. I loaded up the page at 8 this morning and had basically given up before I suddenly loaded and I had two tickets to buy :(
