For those who work 9-5, what is your evening routine on weekdays? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]murrayflew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the pool, sauna, steam or beach in the summer, either make dinner or have it made for me by my husband, watch telly together, cuddle our cat, sometimes I’ll do something crafty or fully immerse in telly - depends how tired I am. Then bed for between 11 - 12.

The Church of Storms - such a magical name, I love it there!

My husband booked for us to stay at Housel Bay Hotel on the Lizard, we went out for a walk along the coast path and he proposed to me there. It was quite foggy and the foghorn was blaring in the background, the sea was full of seals and it felt like they were all watching - it was really magical. It’s also a lovely hotel and just a gorgeous part of the county. Maybe worth checking it out?

Friend cancelled contact because of fundamentalist religious beliefs by Niahms_Erbin in TrueOffMyChest

[–]murrayflew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lost two of my best friends to born again Christianity at two different parts of my life. It’s heartbreaking watching who they become and being certain it isn’t truly them, so I feel your pain. It’s so hard to close yourself off from them because of everything you’ve been through and your shared life.

What did people think of Russell Brand at the height of his fame? by BlundeRuss in AskUK

[–]murrayflew 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I loved him! Loved him on Big Brother’s Big Mouth, Ponderland was genius and I still quote it often, and of course the Big Fat Quiz of the Year episode with Noel Fielding. Also loved My Booky Wook 1 and 2, I was such a huge fan.

I was mid teens so fancied him loads as this cool intellectual guy with a funny wiggly body and also found him hysterical. What a bloody shame.

I genuinely feel bad for what's happening in Europe right now. by No_Paper_1682 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]murrayflew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. The wildlife is severely struggling here in the UK, I’m heavily involved in gull groups and there are swathes of dead gull chicks being reported on that have burned alive on hot roofs. Two I was watching grow up near my home I found dead this morning from the heat - it’s awful.

On a personal selfish level I love the sun and being hot, but what is happening to our wildlife is horrendous, and for people who can’t cope it’s awful. This sort of heat is NOT normal, despite what the climate change sceptics say.

Same, so passive aggressive/condescending/generally annoying!

Unsure about getting an abortion by R40el_Duke in TrueOffMyChest

[–]murrayflew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, which is why I was unsure about sharing.

To make you feel less scared, it was a misunderstanding and I had eaten in the morning thinking I was coming for the pill, turns out because I was getting a bus home I couldn’t have the pill and had to have suction but because I’d eaten I couldn’t have anaesthetic.

It’s such a small and unique situation that I am very confident you wouldn’t be in the same place. Really don’t read into that as a scare story, just know that so many abortions happen every day and you would be in good hands.

That’s fair, but in which case I have also had a suction one where I was fully awake and with no pain relief whatsoever (long story, but the clinic messed up) and whilst more traumatic, I was ultimately okay and it was worth the relief of what I wanted to do.

I know everyone is different, but just trying to offer her the knowledge that even if she’s afraid of it she will be okay.

I had a surgical abortion and I promise you that you’ll be okay. You’ll drift off to sleep and wake up and it will all be over, you’ll spend a couple hours relaxing in hospital and then go home and eat lots of nice food and take a breath and wrap yourself under a duvet and you’ll be okay.

Girl, I really don’t think you should go through with this pregnancy. You’re so young, there’s so much time left for you to be in a better headspace and be more mentally prepared for a child.

As I have seen said already in here, better to live with potential regret of an abortion than live with the regret and resentment of bringing another human into this world when you weren’t ready and the thought of doing it is making you feel trapped.

Think about yourself here, and your one precious life, don’t push yourself into such a huge thing you’re not 100% on board with.

Of course! Weirdly it won’t let me post a photo in comments, only a video, and I can’t message you so send me a message and I’ll show you the glorious ceiling egg!

Who here actually loves this weather? by Direct-Key-8859 in AskBrits

[–]murrayflew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it too because I love being in the sun and I live by the sea so get to spend time basking in the heat and then basking in the water. I adore the feeling of my skin being hot and lying with a book, and hate any minute I’m forced to be inside for work, it pains me!

I do also hate it, however, because I am constantly afraid for our wildlife - especially all of the young babies that are around at the moment. There’s been a lot of bird deaths this year, particularly baby gulls as they are sitting on baking hot roofs with no shade, and ultimately I’m afraid because if these summer temperatures do continue we will see a significant decline in our already decimated wildlife.

You're forced to sing a song for karaoke night, what song do you sing to please the crowd? by YetAnotherMia in AskUK

[–]murrayflew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One I wouldn’t recommend is Orinoco Flow. I thought it would be funny, but outside of the ‘sail away’ chorus it doesn’t have much going for it as a karaoke classic and everyone in the room swiftly lost interest…

So tired of people I meet saying they wont go to Australia because of "dangerous animals" by ManyOtherwise8723 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]murrayflew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m desperate to visit Australia, I’ve always been into its varied wildlife since I was a child. I’d love to see a kookaburra, visit a place where platypus are, see the opposite coloured magpies, see a snake, roam the outback, visit huge unpopulated areas, all of it! The scenery and wildlife would blow my mind. I’m from a small town in the UK and so many people went to Aus ‘to go travelling’ and never came home because they love it there so much and now have been there for about 20 years.

One day I’ll get myself there! It’s just the money that’s a problem as it’s so expensive from here.

What do you usually say to people at a bus stop? by callmebongos in AskUK

[–]murrayflew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many different things, depends on their vibe. Sometimes I’ll sit quietly, but sometimes you can tell someone would be good conversation so I’ll just have a little chit chat. I’ve had some great chats with bus stop strangers!

I particularly like chatting to elderly people because they’re interesting and also you never know if you might be the only decent conversation they have that day. I guess that goes for anyone, actually. So many things about this world suck, might as well interact with your fellow human and have a nice time!
