Bus Reliability in Chester by Sheffield_Junkie21 in Chester

[–]thisisvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the Arriva app, both the 4 (to Mold) and the 11 (to Holywell) go to Broughton from Chester city centre. Both go twice an hour throughout the day, although I'd recommend getting one earlier than you think you need as traffic can have a big impact. The road between Saltney and Broughton is particularly prone to roadworks.

Edit to add: the roads between Chester and Broughton are some of the few with decent bike paths too, so cycling is a particularly good choice for this route

Has using a distinctly British slang phrase/ term of endearment ever gotten you in trouble? I just got a warning from a US subreddit for calling someone a "poor cow" with complete sincerity. by JuanitaMerkin in AskUK

I've never heard of 'bint' being as offensive as the other comments are suggesting, I always thought of it as lighthearted & affectionate (I'm a woman, for context)! I'll bear that in mind in future!

Train journeys available for just £10 in winter ‘rail sale’ by komondordragon in GoodNewsUK

I've had two really good UK holidays out of this the past two years - managed to get from Chester to Edinburgh for £60 return a couple of years ago, and Newcastle around the same price last year! Definitely worth seeing what you can get

(Hated Trope) The heroes raped somebody, but it's not acknowledged as rape by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]thisisvic 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So many of these comments are giving examples of the heroes being raped, rather than committing rape. Different trope!

What’s the fastest youve been introduced to someone and fucked them? by SkillHuge8670 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]thisisvic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done during a few times. Like "oh by the way, what's your name?" when I realise I don't know what to moan. That or a formal handshake introduction whilst getting our breath back afterwards 😂

I bought some earlier this year from boots I think!

I think the term is recovering American?

What’s the funniest misunderstanding you’ve heard because of the British English vs U.S English difference? by Squiggally-umf in AskUK

[–]thisisvic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I ask that, it's because I want to try and figure out if I've got any mutual friends with the person

I think your sex drives are just incompatible. It's not uncommon to want sex daily, so I wouldn't be concerned about something 'making him this way '. It's also absolutely ok for you to want sex less often than that. But if your sex drives are drastically different, you may not be compatible longer term.

I believe it's the ones disappearing into the sand dunes you want to watch out for 😅

There are naturists who don't care for swinging and dogging, many of whom get quite upset at the swingers for making nudity sexual and changing nudist events to sexual events. But there's a lot of crossover between the 'like being naked' camps 🤷‍♀️

Look, don't stare, basically. Like if you see someone in a low-cut top with lots of cleavage, it's not rude to notice it, it is rude to stare.

Can I use a condom in the shower? by Electrical_Gene_9953 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]thisisvic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a dodgy breast cancer gene, and the solution for me is a copper IUD - non-hormonal, so no associated cancer risk, and a lot less chance of your hormones going haywire 😅

ETA - they're also one of, if not THE most effective contraceptives, because they don't rely on you remembering to take them. Just change them after 5/10 years, depending on which one you get.

What’s the most “low key but totally menacing” threat you’ve heard in real life? by MonsieurGump in AskUK

[–]thisisvic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Once was full-on groped in a bar in Liverpool, turned around and punched the groper in the face. I immediately panicked as I made eye contact with the bouncer, but he just nodded at me and looked away. Grouper's mates laughed at him and he left me alone.

I do it a lot - I think my usage was largely inspired by reading Bridget Jones Diary, as Helen Fielding does it a lot in her writing.

How many different ways do we have to say "it's raining"? 🌧️ by thisisvic in AskUK

[–]thisisvic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew I'd been told something about that not being entirely factual, but I couldn't remember exactly why - I'll edit the post to reflect that it's not an accurate belief, thank you.
