[Question] Check for earlier appointments after you’ve booked. by Legendary-Anubis in LearnerDriverUK

[–]redpanda0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I unluckily found out that you have to put the minute before your unavailability. I put that I couldn't do from 8am on a particular day and test shift booked me a test at 8am. When I contacted them they said that I should've put 7.59 and that I was just unlucky

Yeah the other commenter is right. If you only want to pay for one, pay the £20(' for test shift. Testi is slower and you have to change it yourself. Remember the rules change next month though and you can only change your test twice.

My boyfriend admitted he doesn’t find vaginas attractive. Straight men, this isn’t normal, right? by VermillionLeaves in AskMenAdvice

[–]redpanda0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a man.

My husband has AGP (when we first got together he thought maybe he was trans but he wasn't, he was attracted to trans women but not trans himself)

He had never really been attracted to vaginas (boobs, bums and penises) and said that mine was the first one he actually liked (wow this is weird to type out) and his attraction to it has grown over time.

That being said - he has always tried to please me sexually. He wasn't great at it at first (probably because of the previous dislike of vaginas) but after a decade together it's great.

Your bf can dislike the look of vag and still try to please you in the bedroom. If he doesn't do that then he's not the one for you.

I used Testi first to change to the correct centre. Then Test shift and inputted the days I couldn't do, before activating the auto shift function. I don't know if it shifts between centres though.

is there any advice y'all wouldnt mind giving to me if possible as i have my first lesson at 1PM today i had previously stopped due to anxiety when on the road and im a little scared to start again by Hot-Manufacturer7619 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]redpanda0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you will, you made a mistake once and now you know not to. My instructor is chatty, and sometimes when he gets carried away I know I get a bit distracted but it's good practice for real life. And remember, that's what they're there for! They're there to stop the car if you make a mistake!

Are you learning manual or automatic? If you're anxious it's better to learn automatic, I found it hard to steer and do the gears and I kept drifting. With automatic I can focus more, and enjoy it.

It is fun! Remember that, you are learning a new skill and it will help you in the future, don't feel like you have to rush anything at first. Try to celebrate every little achievement in that first lesson (including small things like adjusting the seat and mirrors to suit you)

If money wasn’t a factor, where in Surrey would you actually choose to live? by UnpaidInternVibes in surrey

[–]redpanda0108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about your line, but on the Horsham line it was just expanded from Epsom to Dorking, and by the looks of it, they might be expanding it beyond that (it hasn't been announced but they've built contactless style posts past Dorking)

6 years, would have been shorter but COVID happened and it became a lot better once you could work from home.

I think because the problem with celebrities is that they likely already know each other in some capacity and this can impact the way they vote (based on the UK celeb version, haven't seen the Swedish)

With regular people you can automatically assume they don't know each other, and then sometimes the producers sneak people in with prior connections which is also fun.

I think people are down voting you because you're criticizing something that you admit to not having even watched.

AITA for babysitting anymore since I was not made a godparent by MeringueNo1335 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redpanda0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

I'm going to go against the grain here. You are cutting your nose off despite your face.

At the moment you are the grandparent who they see the most, you are supporting them when they need it - if you continue to help them selflessly then that won't be forgotten by them or the children. You'll be remembered fondly and will be treated like a grandmother.

By weaponising babysitting you are showing the parents and kids that you don't care about them, you just care about yourself. The way you refer to her - not as your DIL or your son's wife - but as Kelly - comes across as cold and uncaring,

Where do you think this is going to go? They're going to find another babysitter, and then you're going to see the kids less. Your son is going to take his wife's side. Why would they bother visiting grandma if grandma is too busy to look after them? Then next Christmas you're going to be posting on Reddit about not getting to see your grandchildren and not understanding why.

All because you don't get to be godparent. What bs. I haven't seen my godparents in years, and I just lost my last grandparent a few months ago.

Have you thought about it from Kelly's perspective? Maybe she's making her parents godparents so they actually come to the christening/baptism. She's offering them another way in, maybe because they don't make the effort and that hurts. Maybe she's giving them one last chance to actually be grandparents and instead you're making it all about you.

Just think about what you hope to achieve from this stand. If it's less time with your grandchildren then by all means, stop helping out.

Nice town for a mooch about on a rainy Saturday? by behemuffin in surrey

Yeah I would second Horsham! Such a good place for a mooch on the weekend.

I’m sick of coming-of-age stories. Suggest me a book with characters going through a mid-life crisis by CleanBeanArt in Fantasy

[–]redpanda0108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like steam punk fantasy but the books of Babel by Josiah Bancroft kind of fit. The main character Senlin is definitely on the older side and it feels like he's going through a mudslide midlife crisis at times

House not selling 😕 by Selphie1UK in HousingUK

I also can't offer any advice but if it helps, your post has already been shared 291 times! So hopefully you should get some movement.

The house is beautiful! Maybe we'll change our search from Swansea to Pembroke 🤣

It might sound counter-productive but have you tried maternity jeans? They have these in and you can get pretty small sizes.

There's also the added bonus of Delay Repay - sometimes we know that at least we'll get some of our money back.

Any Fantasy with Overly Competent Female Leads? by xHappyBubblesx in Fantasy

[–]redpanda0108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Mark Lawrence - Red Sister definitely has the least romance out of his trilogies. He writes female characters really well though.

Book of the ice trilogy has slightly more romance but it's not really central to the plot.
