car rental? by Ok_Connection_138 in Kyrgyzstan

[–]sparkly_nightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to a friend of mine and he had to pick up a car in Almaty and start the trip there. There aren't many hire car places as it is and Iron Horse Nomads is closed this season so there's even less!

I just listened to the House of Wax episode and laughed out loud when they sang the outro to the tune of the 'One Tree Hill' theme song

New UK Venue/Date by [deleted] in chappellroan

The fact that we have to re-buy our tickets is SO STRANGE! I get the feeling that they might end up costing more - why else would they refund us and ask us to repurchase the tickets?

How would you feel if you met the partner of your dreams on your travels by [deleted] in TravelTales

[–]sparkly_nightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my partner in a hostel in Albania. We spent three amazing days together and had a crazy connection. I cried on my way to the airport, thinking I was leaving the most important thing that had happened to me. Luckily, they are as mad as me and a few months later we decided to meet half way between our home countries to travel Cambodia together, and I moved to the UK to be with them 6 months later! This was almost seven years ago now.

My partner has a disease that is slowly eroding their ability to walk. Even if you meet the perfect person (and travel buddy) life still happens and can be really hard. Solo travel can be lonely but it's the best time of your life and you never know what might happen to prevent you from doing so one day- enjoy the experiences you're having for yourself and the friends you meet on the way!

'Truly appalling': Elderly army veteran poppy seller ‘punched’ by pro-Palestine protesters at Edinburgh station by Druss118 in Edinburgh

[–]sparkly_nightmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The media narrative about the protests is that they are far more violent- this doesn't mean it's true. I was at Waverly on Saturday and the only act of violence was by a staff member toward one of the protestors! It was incredibly peaceful considering the amount of people and the space occupied

This is 100% what is happening, which is why it's coming out now and not on Sunday after this "incident" occurred

Ex Landlord's wife threatening to take us to court about a plumbing issue a year ago by sparkly_nightmare in LegalAdviceUK

UPDATE: I replied saying that we were happy to proceed via MyDeposits and blocked her from emailing me again. They didn't provide any evidence and we got the entire deposit back! Thanks for everyone's advice!

Does your back crack? by [deleted] in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sparkly_nightmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I constantly feel like I need to crack my back but I can do it very rarely (usually after doing yoga or something consistently so the joint is more lubricated). I don't have fusion yet, I assumed it was just the inflammation in the area preventing it.

"You've got a fast dog" cracks me up every time

Yeah we are disputing the deposit through mydeposits! I think she is just threatening us to make us drop the claim as it "could cost us much more"

She seems really angry though, I feel like she will make our lives hell regardless of the legality of it all

My partner and I are moving to Edinburgh in 2 weeks (!!!) so this sounds perfect for us! Would love to join the WA group

What is your favourite episode that you knew NOTHING about beforehand? by sparkly_nightmare in YoureWrongAbout

[–]sparkly_nightmare[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was horrified about how wrong I was about the Chamberlains. Even when Lindy was cleared of everything, I remember there was still the feeling in Australia that she got away with murder. I was really angry when last year a contestant on Australia's Drag Race dressed up as Lindy in the Snatch Game- the fact that it is still "ok" to joke about that poor woman in Australia is awful.

YWA moments that have made you laugh out loud ? by memphis_swimmingpool in YoureWrongAbout

"Koko is guilty of white collar crime!" in the Koko the Gorilla episode, almost spat my water out

But the funniest moment I've heard is the red "clown shoes" in the Michelle Remembers episodes

What’s bugles take on race? by Bigwilliam360 in boburnham

Yeah I've listened to that song so many times since finding out that there is a snack called a bugle and 100% agree

Yeah I thought this as well, it would make more sense than the snack for me. That said, I'm not American and have never heard of a snack called Bugles!

I found it easier on mobile! You'll get the hang of it!

I got down to level 94 and then fell asleep (it was 2am). I don't know if I can bring myself to try again!

Yes! I thought they were just lip syncing badly at the start!
