    UK is Fucked

    I’ve been in London for a week and haven’t been stabbed, heard any Islamic call to prayers, have yet to be abducted by grooming gangs or yelled at in Arabic can anyone make some recommendations?

    It’s all very white with a touch of multiculturalism, people are polite.
    very disappointed.

    • Go to East Hamdee-dubs
    • The best person to speak to would be NBQ. He’s well versed on grooming gangs, ethnic and religious matters and negative cultural issues - especially in the UK.Ianbolton
    • I’m back from Sicily tomorrow. Happy to come stab you if that’s what you visited for buddy ;-) Enjoy your stayIanbolton

    ♥Things we do for Love♥

    I was in the city (Manhattan) yesterday for a shoot and I surprised my boys (and wife) with their favorite Chicken Shwarma from Omar's. I think I got a hug from my 12 year old.

    I told Omar I was bringing it home to Jersey and he was impressed.

    • Shwarma is Life.

      I want to try Omar's Shwarma.

    The Guitar Thread

    Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher semi-hollow body
    My low E and A strings have a splat/pop sound - almost like funk slap. I'm not experienced with tweaking truss rods or other adjustments. Is there something I should be looking at - raising the bridge screws? Change the strings maybe? Any help is appreciated!

    • Sounds like it needs a set up for the type of strings you are using. Find a good tech in your area and have your guitar setup how you prefer it. I would avoid..futurefood
    • I would avoid making truss adjustments or intonation bridge tweaks.futurefood
    • either your action is too low or you need a refret.ok_not_ok
    • Thanks both - I think the action is too low, but only on those strings. Is that a truss rod adjustment in your opinions?stoplying
    • It can be a combination of things. Just use caution, because if you adjust one thing sometimes it affects something else.futurefood
    • I'm afraid the problem is the "Noel Gallagher" partrzu-rzu

    Figma

    Chuffed with all the updates but just looking at the generated markup from some of the Figma sites templates and it's far from semantic. Everything is a div.

    • class="css-654654 css-2352467 css-3463
      css-346345 css-8424" empty divs are the best

    I keep seeing that fancy new chocolate from Dubai that is cropping up in garages and supermarkets now but at £12 a bar (!!!?!!) I'm too tight to buy and try it, have you?

    • yeah it's the new thing, it's everywhere. vapid influencers unwrap it on tik tok, world loses its mind.

    Dating after a certain age

    I'm slightly over 50, I've been separated for over 3 years, I just signed the divorce papers yesterday.
    I've been serial dating since my wife moved out. I've dated all sorts of women... Short, Tall, Skinny, Curvy, Older, Younger, Anti-Vaxxers, Trumpers, Radical Feminists, Sound Healers, Buddists, Country Music listeners... I've really enjoyed meeting new and interesting people but never found any deep connection with any of them.
    I met a woman 2 months ago and we have so much in common, so many life experiences in common. She's beautiful, smart, funny. She's about my age with 2 sons like me. Finalizing her long marriage soon like me. We've talked on the phone everyday, texted countless times during the day.
    I haven't felt like this about anyone in decades.
    We've spent 4 weekends together already and can't wait to spend more time with her.
    The only catch is she lives 2 hours away and The Dave Mathews Band is her favorite artist. I've broken up with women for less, I think I can handle the distance and will have to tolerate her music taste.

    • Also she was a designer/AD but is getting another degree to become an art therapist. I never dated another designer, we're a peculiar group.fooler
    • Go with her, TDMB is a decent band, you can't imagine what I've endured in 25 years of marriage ;)
      Good luck, life is short!
      OBBTKN
    • you won’t always live 2hrs away. maybe someday you’ll find a band you both like. Those are little things. If your values align, you like her and she likes you.monNom
    • That’s what really matters. You can flex on the other stuff.monNom
    • this is nicested
    • I've made her playlists and slowly introducing her to safe alt bands like The National, Spoon, Elliot Smith, Band of Horses...fooler

    ♥Things we do for Love♥

    I try and make as many opportunities to surprise or delight my wife and kids as often as possible.

    When my son was feeling the grind at school and getting the ground hog day feeling, I randomly pulled him out of school on a Friday afternoon and took him go-karting. He still talks about it.

    My daughter has been attending raves (doofs) and has shown an interest in DJing so I have ordered her a Pioneer FX4 DJ controller for her school laptop. (I also have put $100 a fortnight into each kids hidden bank account in case she needs to go Tomorrowland when she's 18).

    I have made my wife a coffee every morning for the last 24 years. She doesn't like surprises but I manage sometimes.

    There is nothing I could buy myself that would bring me more joy than I get from facilitating their passions.

    • * $100 a fortnight each since they were bornslappy
    • Does she like coffee? :)

      You da man. Inspiring post!

    I get up every morning, before I am ready, to make a decent breakfast for my kid and then I wake her gently, despite her very much not returning the favour when it's her turn.

    • Why do you even bother? Haha!Ianbolton
    • You have to wake HER up?monospaced
    • Weekdays, yes, and she doesn't like it. Come the weekend though and BAM, that little fucker's up at dawn.Nairn
    • I'm impressed. I haven't had to set any alarm for years because my kids are up at dawn year round.monospaced

    Dating after a certain age

    I loved reading your post Fooler. So much to relate to.

    I'm 55.
    My ex and I seperated very amicably, getting on for six years ago now.

    We're lucky. We just recognised it had reached the end and we made a change that worked for all of us, and we're good friends. Great friends even.

    I've dated all sorts since, then I had a 3 year relationship that revived a brief thing from way back when I was 27.

    That ended and I dated a few more women, exploring dating apps for the first time.

    It became alarming to me how many really strange people there are on dating apps.

    I have 3 really alarming (but also quite entertaining) anecdotes about 3 different people I went all the way to date#6 or so with.

    And then just as I was about to delete the apps and write it off as a dud avenue with genuinely dangerous risks, I matched with a really amazing woman, and we've been a thing ever since.

    But...

    She loves Maroon5

    Maroon fucking 5

    • "she willllllllll be looooooved~~~"
