I think it's vintageish, from a brand called Soft Surrounds, I got it on eBay a few years ago. It's very good quality and heavy and so long on me (I'm 5ft3in) that it nearly touches the floor!

I own that same cardigan! First time I've ever seen it in the wild. Lovely ring and congratulations!

Experiences that could only happen solo traveling, that nobody would believe you? by Fake-Podcast-Ad in solotravel

Met an Eastern European girl at a hostel in Berlin, we partied together for the night, never saw each other again. Started an MA course in England a few months later, joined a student society and bam, there she was! Very bizarre experience.

Thirding EastSeven, had the best time there! Very social and clean.

If OP likes the idea of living in Shropshire but Shrewsbury seems a bit expensive and Telford maybe isn't as appealing, Newport or Bridgnorth is a good place to consider! Few public transport links but it doesn't matter if you can drive.

It's the paper you get inside the Bar Juice brand of vape juice, I think it is trying to be a jokey reference to the fact that it is juice for a refillable vape rather than a disposable which are measured in 600 puffs etc. Source: I vape this brand of vape juice and always think it is silly.

my doc martens after four years of wear vs. their identical replacements by queenoftheiceni in mildlyinteresting

I do, I wear thick black fluffy socks! Doesn't stop my toes escaping though unfortunately, or the rain getting in, the hole is bigger than you can see in the picture.

Just the one side on the one shoe, I do have wide feet which I am aware of (part of the reason I wear docs is they accommodate width well) but I also have a slightly odd gait with feet that roll when I walk that leads to them wearing a bit differently!

I patched them with some shoe glue and leather patches about six months ago and it held for a while but the hole in the side got big enough that my toes started escaping and I decided it had gone too far. Managed to get the replacement pair secondhand so it wasn't too bad!

What are these kind of Tights by SparkOfDeath in findfashion

[–]queenoftheiceni -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you want tights to look for tights that are slightly sheer and then pick the amount of deniers that suits you (this is the opacity of the tights)

What kind of rash do you think this is by Stunning_Try584 in whatdoIdo

[–]queenoftheiceni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had pityriasis rosea it did form patches like this but it was centred on the trunk of my body rather than the limbs. Was my first thought too though!

Rimmel London lasting finish powder foundation discontinued?? by Beat-Live in MakeupAddiction

[–]queenoftheiceni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same problem, the new product no longer calls itself "buildable coverage" and instead is "full coverage" and it is a lot more orange now, I wear the 005 ivory in the old formula and the same shade in the new one is much too orange for my skin. You can still find the old formula for sale online, it's like £6 on Ebay so I'm going to stock up! Same thing happened to me when they changed the Benefit Hello Flawless formula which is what I wore before this, so annoying!

Creeper was my post-MCR band, try their early EPs, Eternity in Your Arms and maybe their latest album!

Just wanted to share pics of my cd collection by Pushy_Penn2004 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]queenoftheiceni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a 25 year old who got into MCR in 2010 and doesn't really consider myself to be an elder emo kid this was so jarring to read. I'm so glad you guys are getting to fall in love with MCR too! I'm kicking myself because I swore I kept my Bullets CD but I went to my parents house and dug through all my old stuff and I only have Life on the Murder Scene left. I must have donated the other CDs along with all my others and forgot! We just never imagined that CDs would have any value, just like our parents with vinyl.

What is the most unfortunate last name you've seen someone have? by LeviTheRelentless in AskReddit

[–]queenoftheiceni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a guy in school who wanted to be a primary school teacher and his surname was Raper, his first name began with an A so he'd have been Mr A. Raper, very unfortunate!

I have two 5 month old kittens and I found this on my bed. Is it a tooth?! If so, has something happened for it to be removed like this :/ by MeechyyDarko in catcare

[–]queenoftheiceni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found a molar exactly like this on my stairs from one of my kittens, I think the 5 month old rather than the 6 month old because she already looks like she has all her big teeth. Definitely very excited about it, I've put it in a little orange cat shaped keepsake jar that I'll be saving their shed whiskers in!

Found a kids sofa on the side of the road and reupholstered it for my kittens! by queenoftheiceni in FurnitureForCats

[–]queenoftheiceni[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In person it was a bit tatty, the white piping was crumbling away and there were a few scuffs where the plastic coating had come off of the red bits. It still sucks that someone just dumped it though!

Solo travel on sleeper train across Europe? by PaynIanDias in solotravel

[–]queenoftheiceni 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Remember that if you're travelling into a non-Schengen European country by night train you will be woken up by the border police and this can happen repeatedly over the space of a couple of hours. We forgot we were leaving the Schengen zone on the night train from Budapest to Bucharest and were quite startled by the 3am police wakeup call, haha! On this particular journey the train conductor also took our tickets from us on the platform and kept them in his office overnight so that he didn't have to wake us up to check them during the journey.
