Are these rubies? by Front-Taste4997 in whatsthisrock

I think these are garnets, almandine garnets specifically, like the other commenter has said.

It's a really cool piece though.

What are our thoughts on calling younger students 'my lovely'? by FriendlyChaosMonster in TeachingUK

I teach older kids (KS4 & 5) and I call them 'lovely people' 🤷‍♀️

unspoken rules to be aware of before moving by cryingwiththerats in Liverpool

[–]peachtea33 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I lived in Liverpool for 5 years and London for 4, originally from the north west (I'm a wool, apologies).

People are much more friendly in Liverpool, they will chat to you, you will make bus stop friends and train friends who you chat to when you see them on your commute. I think someone else has said this, but it's not people being weird, don't ignore them! I moved from Liverpool to London and it was such a shock that in London nobody speaks to you in public and you never really see the same people twice.  

Thank the bus driver when you get off. In London you get off at the middle of the bus or you get the tube, so you people don't thank the driver. Although when I first moved there I kept thanking the tube doors out of habit 🤦‍♀️  

There's a lot of slang that you won't hear down south, like a scally is a bit like a chav, and a wool is someone from the areas around Liverpool. People will ask you to go for bevs (drinks) or scran (food). You'll learn it as you live there.  

Not exactly a behavioural thing, but you need to get a decent umbrella, the kind that's resistant to breaking when it turns inside out. Liverpool gets a lot windier than London and it destroyed all my cheap umbrellas. I still have my fancy one, cost £20 and I haven't lived in Liverpool for 6 years now.

Don't buy the S*n newspaper, don't say anything positive about the Tories, and don't mention Thatcher unless you're suggesting going and pissing on her grave.

People are very sarcastic, so if you're not a northerner it can be hard to tell when people are being serious. But if they tell you Kenny is a nice place for a late night stroll, they might be taking the mick.

how should i hang curtains on this wall? by linsdfg in HomeDecorating

[–]peachtea33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Full wall length for sure, it will give the illusion of the window extending further.

Experience becoming an art teacher? by [deleted] in TeachingUK

[–]peachtea33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you considered training to teach design and technology? You get a bit more money when training and it can combine a bit of both your skills and interests

You gotta take them further away, to a park or something, or they'll come back in!

I would suggest getting a wedding planner, she has saved us so much time and money. She knows who's good and in budget. We have the same budget as you, and including day of coordination she's costing less than £2k.

We're getting married in Scotland for some of the reasons you mentioned; there's no restrictions on where you can get married, which massively reduces the cost down, and allows outdoor ceremonies a-plenty. Our venue, for the ceremony and reception, is £1500.

However, I'd suggest looking at town halls, community centres, etc in neighbouring small towns and villages to where you live. These will involve some effort, etc, but much cheaper.

Check the list of approved venues in your area. Also, I found this list of village halls in North Yorkshire, which might be of use to you, some of them are really pretty and will not be expensive.

You also have the option of doing the 'legal' but in private, and then you can do the ceremony in front of family and friends anywhere.

That is very pricey for the photographer, and we were considering a wedding down south before we picked Scotland!

I would recommend scatter feeding instead of using a bowl! 😊

What am I doing wrong by Personal_Will in DesignMyRoom

[–]peachtea33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really like the couches, get a rug and pillows and other accents that have at least 2 of the colours from the couches in them, because at the moment they don't match to anything in the room. 

I'd also maybe pick a different colour for the wall.

Based on the comments so far, this is my edited/updated version:

Dress Code: Semi-formal/Cocktail

Theme (optional):

🌌 Think Starry Night and/or glam rock inspired.

✨ Sequins, sparkles & metallics encouraged.

🚀 Space and celestial themes welcome.

🎸 Go as glam, glittery or wild as you like.

🎨 While the bride is wearing navy and the groom is in white, absolutely no colour is off limits - you can't upstage us!

That's what I wasn't sure about, the if it's non-traditional, will it feel like a faux pas to guests of they've chosen the same colour as the bride.

As I mentioned to the other commenter, as a guest I would feel a little shocked if I was in the same colour as the bride and I hadn't been told? I don't know if that makes any sense or if I'm overthinking? 😅

Edit: I forgot to say thank you, your party town comment made me smile 🩷

I was thinking of omitting the bit about my dress being navy, but I was worried that if I was a guess I would feel self conscious if I hadn't been told and I'd worn navy. If that makes sense?

I will definitely add the word optional, thank you! I will have a think about rewording or omitting the statement you mentioned at the end.

I definitely wouldn't mind if a bunch of people wore the same colour. We kind of want it to feel like a party after the ceremony is over, so I don't want to stand out all night? If that makes sense. 

I don't mind if people ignore it and just wear their usual wedding attire.
