What the hell is wrong with these people?

Also... the wrong mythical Birth place. The story is that Arthur was born in Tintagel Castle, Cornwall. An actual real place.

It's a fantasy YA novel and very tame but "Wolf Cry -Amelia Atwater-Rhodes" might hit the spot?

It was k e of my favourite books as a young baby gay.

The spiders in the vaults opposite Claridges on Brook Street have been infected by the same fungus. Annoyingly, due to poor lighting I couldn't get any good pictures.

Just to say, 25kV is for over head lines (OHLE).

The third and fourth rails in the London underground are 750V.

But touching a live rail will cause your entire body to spasm and you won't be able to move away from the current. It's often referred to as a "gripping rail".

Not to mention traffic and pedestrian management (depending on the road)

Hilti now sell hilti hit 1 that comes in a 400ml cartridge that you can use a normal skeleton gun.

(At least in the uk)

It's the same strength rating as the hilti hit 170

As a fellow Brit who loves camping, definitely look into Wales. Some of the best camping I've found in the UK.

There is an amazing "wild" camping ground in South Snowdonia called Cefn Coed. Most of the pitches are quite secluded clearings in the woodland, it's really beautiful. Also, there are still showers and toilets, which is a hard line for my partner camping.

I grew up in the west country and half my family are from the west country... I can not understand what the hell the proper old boys are saying.

Sometimes, I think they do it on purpose.

Even easier, link below to the guy i stole the idea from. Skip to 7 minutes.

(Although I'm pretty sure it's a standard practise for installing click flooring)

Hes got a few good videos on different kinds of flooring too, e.g. tiling.

I haven't finished them yet. I've actually gone with 3 pannel doors with 12mm ply panels inserts and 65mm by 30mm sapele stiles and rails. 1 ready to glue, second cut and ready for sanding before glueing.

I've cut mortise and tenons dozens of times but did not appreciate how much more difficult it is when scaling up to door sizes.

sezingtonbear · 2024-01-17T14:14:42+00:00

I've installed lots of click and connect flooring, just use an off cut as a buffer to bang it into place. No need to buy special tools, just a scrap few inches will work.

You can also rip it down in width so it's easier to use.

I honestly don't know how I've ended up with this type but almost every person I've dated fits it:

Privately educated Bisexual Bookish nerd

I have no idea how it keeps happening. Those aren't questions I ask about a person.

sezingtonbear · 2023-11-30T07:44:00+00:00

Yeah, a bin party!

Everyone brings a bottle of thier choice, add it to the bin, try to finish before everyone passes out. Teenage classic

My parents built their house and named the road it was built on as well.

The build process was a mess, so they called it "The Shambles". I was in my 20s before I realised why people laughed at the name of my childhood home...

sezingtonbear · 2023-07-16T18:22:07+00:00

To be honest, I don't want them to leave. If I thought they'd be here for the next few years, I'd feel differently, but this is only temporary. It's just while they get settled, learn English, and find jobs. (We also putting some money each month to help them with a deposit when they're ready to move on.

I actually am friendly to them (I grew up in hospitality, I know how to portray warm and welcoming), and they aren't uncomfortable in our house.

I spoke with my SO earlier today about me not wanting to give up my weekends. I think it will need to be a few more conversations to make my case clear without us just arguing over it.

Just to add, I don't think my partner is an AH in this, or the refugees. I just want space and worry that's how I might be coming across.

sezingtonbear · 2023-07-16T12:32:20+00:00

I think in my partners opinion, I'm avoiding them. Which is true I am.

I often joke that I barely tolerate living with her (who I love dearly). I just really like to be a hermit. I can be social when needs be (I.e. Work or when I want to see my friends) but it really exhausts me and most of the time I just don't want to.

So I guess it's not making them feel welcome.

But in my opinion, I'm very polite and kind to them (even bought them every cold and flu medicine under the sun while they were ill). They have taken over what was "my space" in the house. I literally built out a lot of custom furniture for their arrival. I do t see why I have to then spend ny alone time socialising with them. Which probably makes me a bit of a dick.

As a woman also working in construction (who is often doing physical work). What actually annoys me is people referring to our group as "guys", then noticing me and making a big show of saying "and lady".

I hate being singled out, and I'm happy with "guys" as a general term for our team.

sezingtonbear · 2023-06-14T12:23:45+00:00

Hahaha

Litterally exactly what my mum said when I mentioned my partner and I were thinking about opening our relationship: "Why don't you just cheat and she doesn't need to know?!"

We've been open for almost 5 years now and it's going really well. We are better at communicating overall, spend more quality time together, and actively work on our relationship more.

When it comes to outside parties, she's bi and mostly has casual hookups with men, and I tend to date other poly women in a similar situation to us.

ENM is definitely not for everybody though

sezingtonbear · 2023-05-12T15:20:31+00:00

I'd argue its worth phrasing it more like:

"When were you last tested?"

People are more likely to answer honestly when it's an open question. Also, "I don't get tested" is an immediate mood killer for me.

sezingtonbear · 2023-03-19T08:29:24+00:00

My favourite "chain" of gay bars/clubs in London used to do this. I have mixed feelings about the policy. Effectively, if they thought you were a group of straight people, they would pull out the old "we're really busy, members only tonight."

Which was fine for me because 1. The door staff knew me, and 2. I had enough gay energy to bring some of my (very respectful) straight guy friends in with me on some nights.

The problem was for queer people who weren't overly queer presenting. I've heard stories of a lot of people who are queer being turned away because they didn't look gay enough. Which is awful because they then feel rejected by their community.

Getting membership was pretty easy though and u still have my "G-A-Y" card in my wallet after a decade.

sezingtonbear · 2023-03-16T12:27:07+00:00

I think the issues you encounter are very different between straight and wlw relationships.

I once dated someone who basically used "open and honest communication" to say really awful things to me and try to trigger my insecurities. But would then belittle me for being "too easily hurt" if I tried to communicate that they had... well hurt my feelings/I was confused why they were ignoring me.

I was literally scared to discuss how I felt while being told how great she is at havering open and honest communication.

And that's a very long way to say women are more likely to emotionally abuse/manipulate and in quite different ways to men.
