Hi,
To make a long story short, I graduated university 4 years ago with a title of Surveying Engineer.
Been in the Wales since december 2020. I have not managed to score even one job in my field.
At the last interview i went to, the guy that intervied me decided to be real with me and just broke it down to me. Within our field of work, they want people with experience, the more the better and frankly they don't care about my qualification. They would rather hire someone that has an apprentenship and gained experience rather than someone with a higher education and no experience. Its also more convinient since they would have to pay them less.
At that point I just sighed and asked how I'm supposed to gain experince if no one will take me in.
He understood, but its just how things are. The fact I've graduated for 4 years and haven't worked at all only makes me look worse. With so much time passing, I pretty much forgot all the stuff that I learnt, and no one would be thrilled that they will have to waste time teaching me.
I'm currently working as a hyigiene staff members at food package factory. Working side by side with people that barely know how read, write or speak english in general. Been trying to get to into the office section, but they won't even look at me. I've seen the last two people they choose over me and they're a total disaster. One is junkie that goes and get high in his car in the parking lot while the other keeps skipping work for all kinds of bs reasons.
In any case, i'm consindering trying to find a different work field where my qualification could help.
I'm aware its one of those nieche specialization.
I sure as hell noticed that HR or other office related jobs don't give a damn about my title.
So if there are other options I can try for in the UK, I could appreciated some suggestions.

my biggest mistake was putting didi bhaiyas over teachers just because some guy was iitian and got a rank associated by few numbers which they got probably by their hardwork and coincidences which i judged and fllowing their footpath fucked my jee i am not blaming them but its my responsibily and judgement that i fucked,want to elaborate a little was not knowing about jee till 11th last enrolledd in board coaching as i got my first personal space and device + a little bit of freedom to roam a little bit got s distracted that not even at end day was able to study with my full potential before my boards got 78% in 12 and if i tell you not to flex that i got 97% in 10th boards and won state level maths olmpiad in 9th say yes i was bright enough you could say i was in 1 percent of my class till 10th not involved with any fucking social media a perfect timer waking at 4 going for jogs playing football in morning and to tell i was selected for playoffs for state team untial comes the 2020 the year of my downfall involved i gaming and all and yess somewhere i feel my parents provided more than i deserve every thing i asked they got those things on my table the next day i was having a gaming pc in class 9 when things just started got my ipad in 11th and as i have a brother i got myself a gaming laptop for personal use whatever i haven't used it fully till date so there was plenty of resourses with me but i had only wrong ideas to use it till here life goes good to tell you my parents dont care about my grades till last year (yes i am a dropper aage suno) then thaught kar lega itna overachieverr hai they probably dindnt know much abot jee and all till last year vey much so last year i got 68 %percentile my father asked me to take a addmission anywhere and continue my studies now whre the real downfall starts my all friends were taking drop for jee that where your heros of youtube come in with all iitbombay edits i was so overjoyed by hypes of iits and thiers aluminies that i convinced my parents to take drop he asked me where you want to study yes another climax went to kota for drop year statring of months were good i was so into studies i tell you igot in good routine here gave my first test got a pretty decent marks to my hyping oof iits got more higher but now the teachers started changing and as it was everything new for me i saw students who were previsiosly in kota and then took a drop started to leave classes and doing it on youtube i also went there yes things saterted to worsen got best backlogs you could imagine so nothing futher chapter i was able to study now here comes entry of agent 247 he speaks notes faad do gaand faad do ye kardo woh kardo prepration apne haath me lo maa chudaye coaching wale and yes i did it now padh to leta tha ques bhi bana leta tha ekk test me 187 marks aaye the fir kyuki pure hafte padha tha part test me here comes october relible se koi banda suciide karliya to test were dismised the only motivation for me to study was gone jeendal ki sankalp ki kabhi ye stategy kabhi wo plus kota ka distraction december me test hota hai got 56 marks samjh nahi aa raha kya karu left studies as got preety much fucked by kota food got food poisning and jaundice for 2 weeks fir jee jan attempts me jo aata tha jitna padha tha attempt karke aaya and got 76 percentile machudgayi plus exam bhi pada to kab 27 ki first shift mai bola aage dekhte hai went to coaching for revision waha pe aur dimag kharab kar diye teacher advnace mains ye woh kya karu samjh nai aya wo bhi chud gaya na marks aaye na test accha jaye now next 1 month sankalp mahamanushya shristi ranchna ke pramukh ki guidence wali series leli use padha seriously fir bhi aaye kitne 87 percentile now i am fucked to doo anything kah adddmision ho nahi rah drp barbad ho raha ghar wale dhokebaaz bol rahe ki tum kuch kiye hi nahi

As the title states, I'm going 5 days early to London in august on a 12 day cruise. This cruise is hitting all of the major ports around France, Ireland, Scotland, and wales. I'd know, unlike the US, that flight around that area is normally pretty cheap, and only 1-2 hours away. Are there any other countries you guys would recommend? Norway, Iceland, Sweden, so on and so forth....Or should I rent a vehicle and just travel around the country side, hitting cities all over. Me and my wife like most things, night life, FOOD, drinking, castles, nature, etc....I'm thinking hard about it because we wont be able to experience a lot of "night life" events while on the cruise ship as the cruise ship will call us back from every port we visit around 6-8pm. I know we will want to see Stonehenge, as well as go to Warhammer world. We are also big fans of Harry Potter. We are both in our mid 30's. Thanks friends!

I work for a large fast food company , and my buddy at work was made to pay for pizzas he made incorrectly when the regional manager came over today.
He's 17, and has only been working there for a month and a bit, and is still in the 'trial mode' which lasts about 6 months, if that matters. He made a mistake as we all often do, and he's especially prone to making them, as he's the newest employee. He also had said that he feels pressure to get it right, leading him to mistakes, when the regional manager is there.
My question is, can the regional manager even force him to do that. It feels like he's taking advantage of a minor to boost store profits.
(England and Wales)

Title is self-explanatory, I think Wales needs a new wave of innovation when it comes to cuisine. Wales as a whole has never been one for cooking, I understand looking at the history and geography of the country but even still other countries have managed to innovate in poor, stressful situations so why not give it a try too. I can name on two hands the dishes Wales has, and if anyone’s seen the Tasty world cuisine ranking for 2023 you’ll know that our food isn’t perceived as great.
What Wales has is pretty decent I’d say, I always bake Welsh cakes for others and they never get a bad review but that’s really all I make. I know it’s easier said than done thinking of a new dish but some discussion about the topic could be interesting. Might even be a new avenue for tourism if we had better food, I mean people go to places like Italy or Greece for the foods (as well as the scenery and historic places yeah but whenever I hear discussions food is always either the first thing mentioned or at least up there).
But aye, that’s my thoughts at least. Could be an interesting convo to strike up, Wales have some good already and is a pretty damn organic country when it comes to how much locally grown/raised foods are here, from Lamb to cheeses and beers to laver to root veggies it’s a good start. We now have easy access to spices and herbs too so they can actually be included in the dishes now, so idk if anyone else feels this way but I’d love to be able to show off some Welsh culture in the form of some new dishes. Cheers for reading my waffle, have a tidy one 👍🏻

Literally on what bases has ICC even charged it on? Apart from refusing to provide any evidence, 'Israel' has repeatedly rejected UN's calls for investigation in this claim by calling them antisemitic. Literally based on what did they charge them this with? And the UN has literally confirmed 'Israel' committing rapes, sexual violence, child trafficking against Palestinians now. how are they not charged for actually committing it?
'Israel' blatantly commits genocide and rape and gets away with it but gets to make this nonsense a thing due to western backing. If this doesn't gets you charged with genocide then literally what will?
They just see it as a PR attack on themselves. This is such public discourse appeasement PR oriented nonsense, but in the matter of genocide. International humanitarian law is all such a PR fraud.
This baseless piece of atrocity propaganda against Palestine has long been shredded and debunked—not that these were ever even substantiated—along with the Zionists' other endless lies that have been shredded in real time, again without even being substantiated. This nonsense, where 'Israel' refuses to provide any evidence, puts out fabricated 'testimonies', and repeatedly rejects independent calls for investigation for its claims while not allowing its doctors to speak to the UN — this nonsense would be thrown in the bin anywhere else and not even be considered for a second, especially considering that they're now in ICJ court for the crimes of committing genocide on the backs of these unproven claims. This is only forced to even be a thing because of the genocidal regressive Western media apparatus has decided to support rape by 'Israel', by suppressing these actual cases of violent rape and categorically refusing to report on them, and instead push 'Israel's nonsensical mass rape lies along with its other mad ramblings, embarrassing themselves. They aren't journalists; they're medieval-era village slanderers, but with an apparatus dragging everyone back to the dark ages with their fascism that should've been done away with the demise of Hitler.
This is the old-school fascist mirror politics of accusing your opponent of what you yourself are doing. Palestinians have zero history of ever committing sexual violence against 'Israelis', and it's 'Israel' that has a massive history of committing rape and sexual violence against Palestinians since their "independence day," i.e the Nakba, Deir Yassin Massacre, and has committed it ever since. Zionist terrorist group Irgun committed rampant rapes of many Palestinian schoolgirls and molested old women so much so that even the British police in Palestine testified to it. Their old veterans still talk about it on zionist media laughing while talking about committing rapes. What were the consequences they faced for it? A former member of Irgun, Menachem Begin, was elected as the prime minister of 'Israel', he'd win the Nobel peace prize and is now remembered as a transformer of 'Israel'. 'Israel' is quite literally built upon the rape of the native Palestinians.
Palestinians have no history of ever committing it or even approaching anything like this. What this is the West and zionists trying to distort, while snatching and trying to appropriate the upright and noble character, ideology, endeavours of the resistance and putting on them the blame of the nature, ideology, history of the usurping occupiers. This such fascist upside-down mirror worldview has been constructed by the western powers who laud the rapists as enlightened, valorizing them, promoting them, making heroes out of them and giving them "enlightenment awards" while blaming the victims and accusing them of what their oppressors are doing. They're the continuation of Nazi Fascism dragging everyone back to the dark ages.
It's in Israel where Stalag pornography about raping, torturing, and murdering their female Nazi guards was popular, breaking records for its era, and went away only after being banned. Its they who have such a long and well-documented history of raping Palestinians in their captivity—women, men, and children—way before October 7—in prisons, after barging into their homes with dogs, after arbitrarily arresting little boys and subjecting them to sexual abuse—all YEARS before October 7th, the documentation is endless. It's they who do it so proudly. It's 'Israel' where men lure in displaced Ukrainian women, traffic them, and rape them with the support of the 'Israeli' state authorities, who show no interest in stopping it as they consider it a "waste" of public sources for a foreign non-Jewish woman.. This isn't shocking in the least because 'Israel' does it to their own women with state support. 'Israel' consistently ranks the highest in West Asia for documented cases of rape and SA. 1 in 5 Israeli women was raped during her lifetime, and 92% of civil rape investigations are closed without charges**. It's 'Israel' that's an international safe haven for pedophiles, sex offenders, and rapists, especially for Jewish pedophiles who use the 'right of return' to flee prosecution in their own country. It's 'Israel' where tens of thousands of pedophiles operate in Israel with no restrictions, with ~100,000 victims annually, with the support of the state. The courts show disproportionate bias towards the criminals, throwing out tons of evidence and saying that it'll hurt his career.. It's the 'Israeli' army, IDF's, Chief Rabbis that support raping non-Jewish women to "boost the morale" of the 'Israeli' soldiers.. It's 'Israel' and Mossad that had deep connections with Jeffery Epstein, with their former PM Ehud Barak visiting him personally over 30 times, way after he was caught. They also rape the women in their army at an astonishingly high rate, with one in three women being sexually harassed in their army in just 2021 alone, with the support of the army, who often don't even bother when sexual violence is reported.
These are just since October 7th:
It's credibly reported that 'Israeli' soldiers raped two Palestinian women, committed sexual violence upon others, kept women in cages in degrading conditions while bragging posting it online. They also trafficked a Palestinian female infant into Israel with the help of the army, and there are many cases of 'Israel' separating Palestinian children from their parents whose whereabouts remain unknown. This is especially concerning considering the rampant organized pedophilia in 'Israel'. And this is reported by someone as biased as the UN.
So many Palestinians have come forward just since the last few months:
“I was explicitly threatened with rape” — Freed Palestinian prisoner
https://x.com/QudsNen/status/1759234293388202476?t=gSR7x9x_H9Z0rUu75yYQrg&s=09
A Palestinian who was just released from Israeli prisons told how the Zionists are subjecting Palestinian political prisoners to brutal treatment, including sexual assault and rape.
A freed Palestinian prisoner says, 'Israel' made us sleep on the floor, no mattresses, barely any food, and sometimes they wouldn’t even bring it; no toilets; women were beaten naked; searched naked; no medical assistance; we would be eight sleeping in tiny cells."
Canadian doctor volunteering in Gaza told how the Israeli army raped and humiliated Palestinian women in front of their families, one woman was raped for 2 days until she wasn't able to speak
Israeli women themselves directly participate in such sexual violence, where dozens of Palestinian women reported them severely hitting them, slapping, spitting, recording them being tortured, and making remarks at them while being forced stripped, at times in public in front of male 'Israeli' soldiers. This is among rape threats for not obeying them: being robbed by them, being strip-searched by 'Israeli' men after they handcuffed and blindfolded a woman, being taken to a military base in a jeep by them, including 'Israeli' women, who then put her on a sidewalk and mocked her in Hebrew, being put in animal cages in freezing conditions, being denied food and water, medicine, basic sanitary care, and a lot more
A husband in Al Shifa reports that the army stripped his wife, who begged them to not beat her as she was 5 months pregnant. After hours they took out all the women except the pregnant woman and raped her in front of her relatives, and told them to not close their eyes or else they'll kill them.
These cases are so blood-boiling. And the genocidal regressive Western media apparatus has deliberately decided to support rape by 'Israel', suppress these actual cases of violent rape and not categorically report on them, and instead push 'Israel''s nonsensical mass rape lies along with its other mad ramblings, parroting the same debunked nonsense and embarrassing themselves.

This baseless piece of atrocity propaganda against Palestine has long been shredded and debunked—not that these were ever even substantiated—along with the Zionists' other endless lies that have been shredded in real time, again without even being substantiated. This nonsense, where 'Israel' refuses to provide any evidence, puts out fabricated 'testimonies', and repeatedly rejects independent calls for investigation for its claims while not allowing its doctors to speak to the UN — this nonsense would be thrown in the bin anywhere else and not even be considered for a second, especially considering that they're now in ICJ court for the crimes of committing genocide on the backs of these unproven claims. This is only forced to even be a thing because of the genocidal regressive Western media apparatus has decided to support rape by 'Israel', by suppressing these actual cases of violent rape and categorically refusing to report on them, and instead push 'Israel's nonsensical mass rape lies along with its other mad ramblings, embarrassing themselves. They aren't journalists; they're medieval-era village slanderers, but with an apparatus dragging everyone back to the dark ages with their fascism that should've been done away with the demise of Hitler.
This is the old-school fascist mirror politics of accusing your opponent of what you yourself are doing. Palestinians have zero history of ever committing sexual violence against 'Israelis', and it's 'Israel' that has a massive history of committing rape and sexual violence against Palestinians since their "independence day," i.e the Nakba, Deir Yassin Massacre, and has committed it ever since. Zionist terrorist group Irgun committed rampant rapes of many Palestinian schoolgirls and molested old women so much so that even the British police in Palestine testified to it. Their old veterans still talk about it on zionist media laughing while talking about committing rapes. What were the consequences they faced for it? A former member of Irgun, Menachem Begin, was elected as the prime minister of 'Israel', he'd win the Nobel peace prize and is now remembered as a transformer of 'Israel'. 'Israel' is quite literally built upon the rape of the native Palestinians.
Palestinians have no history of ever committing it or even approaching anything like this. What this is the West and zionists trying to distort, while snatching and trying to appropriate the upright and noble character, ideology, endeavours of the resistance and putting on them the blame of the nature, ideology, history of the usurping occupiers. This such fascist upside-down mirror worldview has been constructed by the western powers who laud the rapists as enlightened, valorizing them, promoting them, making heroes out of them and giving them "enlightenment awards" while blaming the victims and accusing them of what their oppressors are doing. They're the continuation of Nazi Fascism dragging everyone back to the dark ages.
It's in Israel where Stalag pornography about raping, torturing, and murdering their female Nazi guards was popular, breaking records for its era, and went away only after being banned. Its they who have such a long and well-documented history of raping Palestinians in their captivity—women, men, and children—way before October 7—in prisons, after barging into their homes with dogs, after arbitrarily arresting little boys and subjecting them to sexual abuse—all YEARS before October 7th, the documentation is endless. It's they who do it so proudly. It's 'Israel' where men lure in displaced Ukrainian women, traffic them, and rape them with the support of the 'Israeli' state authorities, who show no interest in stopping it as they consider it a "waste" of public sources for a foreign non-Jewish woman.. This isn't shocking in the least because 'Israel' does it to their own women with state support. 'Israel' consistently ranks the highest in West Asia for documented cases of rape and SA. 1 in 5 Israeli women was raped during her lifetime, and 92% of civil rape investigations are closed without charges**. It's 'Israel' that's an international safe haven for pedophiles, sex offenders, and rapists, especially for Jewish pedophiles who use the 'right of return' to flee prosecution in their own country. It's 'Israel' where tens of thousands of pedophiles operate in Israel with no restrictions, with ~100,000 victims annually, with the support of the state. The courts show disproportionate bias towards the criminals, throwing out tons of evidence and saying that it'll hurt his career.. It's the 'Israeli' army, IDF's, Chief Rabbis that support raping non-Jewish women to "boost the morale" of the 'Israeli' soldiers.. It's 'Israel' and Mossad that had deep connections with Jeffery Epstein, with their former PM Ehud Barak visiting him personally over 30 times, way after he was caught. They also rape the women in their army at an astonishingly high rate, with one in three women being sexually harassed in their army in just 2021 alone, with the support of the army, who often don't even bother when sexual violence is reported.
These are just since October 7th:
It's credibly reported that 'Israeli' soldiers raped two Palestinian women, committed sexual violence upon others, kept women in cages in degrading conditions while bragging posting it online. They also trafficked a Palestinian female infant into Israel with the help of the army, and there are many cases of 'Israel' separating Palestinian children from their parents whose whereabouts remain unknown. This is especially concerning considering the rampant organized pedophilia in 'Israel'. And this is reported by someone as biased as the UN.
So many Palestinians have come forward just since the last few months:
“I was explicitly threatened with rape” — Freed Palestinian prisoner
https://x.com/QudsNen/status/1759234293388202476?t=gSR7x9x_H9Z0rUu75yYQrg&s=09
A Palestinian who was just released from Israeli prisons told how the Zionists are subjecting Palestinian political prisoners to brutal treatment, including sexual assault and rape.
A freed Palestinian prisoner says, 'Israel' made us sleep on the floor, no mattresses, barely any food, and sometimes they wouldn’t even bring it; no toilets; women were beaten naked; searched naked; no medical assistance; we would be eight sleeping in tiny cells."
Canadian doctor volunteering in Gaza told how the Israeli army raped and humiliated Palestinian women in front of their families, one woman was raped for 2 days until she wasn't able to speak
Israeli women themselves directly participate in such sexual violence, where dozens of Palestinian women reported them severely hitting them, slapping, spitting, recording them being tortured, and making remarks at them while being forced stripped, at times in public in front of male 'Israeli' soldiers. This is among rape threats for not obeying them: being robbed by them, being strip-searched by 'Israeli' men after they handcuffed and blindfolded a woman, being taken to a military base in a jeep by them, including 'Israeli' women, who then put her on a sidewalk and mocked her in Hebrew, being put in animal cages in freezing conditions, being denied food and water, medicine, basic sanitary care, and a lot more
A husband in Al Shifa reports that the army stripped his wife, who begged them to not beat her as she was 5 months pregnant. After hours they took out all the women except the pregnant woman and raped her in front of her relatives, and told them to not close their eyes or else they'll kill them.
These cases are so blood-boiling. And the genocidal regressive Western media apparatus has deliberately decided to support rape by 'Israel', suppress these actual cases of violent rape and not categorically report on them, and instead push 'Israel''s nonsensical mass rape lies along with its other mad ramblings, parroting the same debunked nonsense and embarrassing themselves. They aren't journalists; they're medieval-era village slanderers, but with an apparatus dragging everyone back to the dark ages with their fascism that should've been done away with the demise of Hitler.

Literally on what bases has ICC even charged it on? Apart from refusing to provide any evidence, 'Israel' has repeatedly rejected UN's calls for investigation in this claim by calling them antisemitic. Literally based on what did they charge them this with? And the UN has literally confirmed 'Israel' committing rapes, sexual violence, child trafficking against Palestinians now. how are they not charged for actually committing it?

'Israel' blatantly commits genocide and rape and gets away with it but gets to make this nonsense a thing due to western backing. It's an absolute disgrace that the ICC's warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant don't include charges of genocide. They literally couldn't have done anything more to get charged for it. Since day one they yelled out their intentions and carried it out right in front of everyone

I met Luna on a train two years ago. I’d just escaped from a toxic relationship, so romance was the last thing on my mind, but then she sat across from me in the carriage and asked about the book I was reading. She had a copy in her bag and wanted to know if it was any good.
I'd never felt such an instant, effortless connection with anybody before. I took a chance and asked her to dinner, and by the time the waiters cleared away our desserts, I already felt comfortable being vulnerable around her. So we went on a second date. And a third. And next thing I knew, we were planning our second anniversary.
Now in all that time, she never once gave off any 'creeper' vibes. But then a few months back, I stayed the night over at her place. When she got up to use the bathroom, I grabbed her laptop off the side desk so I could catch up on some work e-mails, and the incognito tab was just sitting there. My first thought was: either she's having an affair or she's got a secret fetish.
What I found instead was a Google account with a photo album called ‘Michael’s EX’. In it, there were 427 photos of my former girlfriend turned psycho stalker, Sadie. This included shots of ‘Sadie the stalker’ with her family, screenshots of her passport—the works. On Facebook, Sadie's latest post said Moving to the Philippines, and since then she’d become a social media church mouse, so how did Luna keep her under surveillance? And how did you even get PERSONAL ID from a person halfway across the globe?
Down the hall, I heard the bathroom door swing open. Quickly I closed the laptop and pretended to be asleep until Luna planted a kiss on my lips. “Wakey wakey Bugs.”
I faked a stretch. “Morning Lola."
(At school, the other kids christened me ‘Bugs’ because of my cartoonishly large front teeth; I called Luna ‘Lola’ because of her blonde bangs and heart-shaped face.)
“How about we grab a fry for breakfast?” Her smile didn’t seem genuine, more like she was wearing a mask.
“Crap. I forgot I’m doing overtime today, I’ve gotta get to work.” With that, I shot out of there faster than a bullet train to Tokyo.
Because I didn’t wanna believe the worst about someone I cared so deeply about, I didn’t contact the police (not that anybody could’ve guessed what Luna was up to) and made excuses whenever she asked to meet, delaying the decision whether to end our relationship.
At night, I couldn’t sleep. Every time a hedge rustled outside, I’d run to the window and pull back the curtain only to discover a black cat skulking around the garden. I put this down to my previous relationship leaving me with a mountain of unresolved PTSD.
Sadie the stalker also seemed normal until we moved in together. After that she started picking fights if she caught me talking to another woman, even just distant relatives or childhood friends. The screaming matches went from weekly to nightly, only ever ending when I conceded to her every wish and gave her full access to my phone and social media accounts. I literally needed to grab my clothes into a bag and run away one night, and then I started hearing noises outside my new apartment. And although I never found any evidence, I was pretty sure she’d broken in at one point because the books on my side table were suddenly out of order one day. What hurt the most was Luna knew all this and still acted the way she did.
Right as I reached my lowest point, my close friend Gertrude called and said, “The universe is telling me you could use a sympathetic ear.”
I told her the universe didn’t know the half of it.
I’d met Gertrude—aka my surrogate mother—on a flight to London. Passing over Wales the aircraft hit heavy turbulence, and the grey-haired hippie in the seat next to mine squeezed my hand so tight that my fingers turned blue. After we levelled off, she apologized and said, “So what’s calling you to London?”
“A job.”
A few glasses of wine from the service trolley later, she blurted out, “You know your aura is strikingly similar to my husbands.”
“Uhh, thanks. Where is he now?”
“Oh, he burned to death in a house fire.”
Gertrude’s eyes started welling up. To take her mind off the subject, I said, “I lied earlier. I’m going to London because I fell in love with a Londoner.” I pulled up pictures of Sadie (back in her pre-stalker days) on my phone. “We met in Italy. She looked flustered trying to read a map book so I offered to help. Next thing I knew, we were planning a trip to this place called Orvieto.”
“Michael, I need to know how this story ends. Gimme your number.”
Since then, we’d met two or three times a year.
I laid the whole mess out over pizza. It was the first time since finding the Google account I didn’t feel hidden eyes crawling all over me.
Just as I wrapped up the story, over in the corner booth, a family burst into a chorus of happy birthday. A waiter appeared carrying a chocolate cake, capped by a giant candle that looked more like a flare. Gertrude tensed up.
“So what do you think about all this?” I asked.
She looked back at me and said, “It’s possible your reaction has been a touch on the dramatic side.”
“DRAMATIC??”
“Well consider things from Luna’s point of view. Your last relationship lasted for, what, three years? Maybe she felt threatened.”
“I don’t believe this.” I grabbed a cigarette from my pocket, but Gertrude snatched it away.
“You know how I feel about you poisoning your lungs, Michael.”
“Don’t you start. I got enough of that crap from Luna.”
Gertrude always encouraged me to work through my romantic problems. Ultimately, I decided her love of fairytale romances clouded her judgement and ghosted Luna instead. But I couldn’t escape her shadow. She always felt close. In fact, it got so bad that at a friend’s costume party several weeks later, my eyes kept compulsively scanning the crowd as if she was there in disguise, ready to pounce.
I stood off to the corner until, over the sea of heads, I spotted a beautiful stranger dressed as Jarlath the Goblin King. I took a shot of liquid courage and made a B-line towards her.
Halfway across the crowded room, beer splashed across the front of my Ziggy Stardust outfit.
“I am so sorry,” a female pirate said, patting me dry.
“Don’t worry about it.” Every time I tried circling her, she moved to cut me off.
“I am such a klutz. Why don’t you come into the kitchen so I can clean up this mess?”
I put my hands on her shoulders and steered her out of the way. “It’s fine. Trust me.”
Approaching Jarlath from behind, heart slamming against my chest, I said, “Well this is awkward. One of us is gonna have to change.”
Jennie had bright blue eyes and dimples impossible to miss. Ten minutes into our debate about David Bowie’s greatest album, I said, “You know Absolute Bowie are playing the Half Moon next week. I could take you?”
“Sorry. I’m going with my boyfriend,” she said with a sympathetic smile. From beside the buffet table, the pirate stared daggers in our direction.
“No worries,” I replied, despite the fact I was brimming with jealousy.
The next day, as I jogged off my hangover, a brown-haired lady cut across my path and we both went spinning to the ground.
“Flip, sorry.” I rushed to pull her up by the hands. “I’m like a bloody zombie lately.”
She did a doubletake. “Ziggy, right?”
There was no mistaking those eyes. “Jarlath?”
“Well, Jarlath or Jennie. Eithers fine.”
“Right. Well, sorry again. Enjoy Absolute Bowie.”
Before I could jog away, she said, “Hey, so that guy I was seeing? Turns out he’s a total prick.”
Jennie and I went for coffee. Coffee morphed into drinks. Drinks morphed into a steamy make-out session on my sofa.
But as she covered my neck in soft kisses, my stomach turned. It felt like cheating. So, I put the brakes on things and said, “I can’t do this. I’m really sorry. You’re amazing, but I just got out of a serious relationship…and…it’s just…”
“Hey, don’t worry about it.”
We agreed we’d let our connection blossom in its own time.
Jennie had a playful mystique to her. Within a handful of dates, we’d developed inside jokes and could tell what the other was thinking. But Luna’s imprint was hard to shake, to the extent I almost mixed up the two ladies’ names multiple times.
To detox, I suggested Jennie and I spend a romantic weekend in the Lake District, because after two days of hiking and kayaking my ex would no doubt be a spec in the rearview mirror.
Hours before we set off, however, Luna’s mom called. She wanted to meet and wouldn’t accept any excuses.
“Look, it’s obvious why I’m here,” she said, sitting across from me in Starbucks. “Ever since you and Luna broke up, she’s been acting…different.”
“Different? Different how?”
“I call but she hardly answers. I go over to her place but she’s never there. Now she’s telling me she needs to find herself. Says she’s moving to Australia.”
Her fingers tightened around her cup. “I need to know what happened between you two. And I don’t care if that paints anybody in a bad light. I’m just worried about my daughter is all.”
I told her about the Google account.
“Did you confront her about it?”
“Hell no. I ghosted that crazy bitc—” I cleared my throat. “I mean, I just…stopped seeing her.”
She started crying so loudly customers at nearby tables paused their conversations. I touched her forearm, promised I’d call if I remembered anything else, then set off for my romantic weekend.
But while Jennie and I enjoyed all that fresh air and pub food, a thought nagged at me. Luna adored London, so why move to Australia? It seemed so out of character. Back at our rented cottage, I was so fixated on the thought I needed a smoke, badly.
“What the hell is that?” Jennie demanded, as she stepped onto the front deck.
I glanced at my hands. “Uhh, a cigarette.”
“Michael! Don’t be sarcastic. You know how I feel about those things.”
“…Do I?”
“Uhh, well it’s the same as anybody else. Quit poisoning your lungs and put that thing out.”
“Alright alright, geeze. Sorry Luna.”
“That’s okay.”
A knot formed in my stomach as she went back inside. I’d called Jennie Luna by mistake. And she hadn’t noticed. In fact, her reaction to me smoking was identical to Luna’s—even the snappy way she said the ‘poison your lungs’ line.
I followed Jennie into the lounge, where she’d curled up on an armchair with a Colleen Hoover novel. She was hiding something. What else did she know about Luna? Maybe I could trick her into revealing some details…
From behind, I started massaging her shoulders. “Sorry for being rude before. I know what you said came from a place of love.”
“That’s okay.”
I waited until her eyes drooped shut, then said, “It really is perfect here, huh? Maybe we should stay forever.”
“Wouldn’t that be amazing?”
Her little groans of pleasure, the rhythm of her breathing, it all felt so familiar. I waited until the tension in her neck dissolved, then I pushed my lips against her ear and whispered, “So how about we take this into the bedroom…Lola.”
“Hmm. Sure thing Bugs.”
My hands froze. Jennie jumped up. “Uhh, that felt so good, why’d you stop?”
“What did you just say?”
“What did you just say?”
“I called you Lola,” I replied, my arms frozen in midair. “And you called me bugs.”
“Like the cartoon, right? I thought it’d be a cute nickname. Anyway, I’m tuckered out.” She forced a yawn. “Why don’t we get some sleep?”
As her hand laced with mine, an image of me waking up drugged and gagged and tied to the bedposts flashed before my eyes.
I said, “Sure. I just…need to use the bathroom first.”
The second the door shut behind me, I flew out of the house, climbed in my car, and sped away.
Within seconds my phone started blowing up with calls, followed by texts. Where are you going? Is everything okay?
No, I wanted to reply. I’m onto your sick little game. Whatever it is, I’m onto it.
Luna stalked my stalker, now Jennie somehow knew Luna and I’s nicknames. How? Did all women take turns drawing straws and whoever picked the short one needed to become my girlfriend?
I couldn’t go home. For all I knew, my exes would’ve been there burning effigies of me. I needed a safe place. Somewhere I could lie low until I got all this straightened out.
“Of course you can stay,” Gertrude said over the phone. “I’m out with some friends, but I’ll meet you later. If you hop the side gate there’s a spare key under the kissing gnomes out back.”
Gertrude lived in a detached house in Wembley. It took a bit of foraging to find the gnomes hidden beneath the weeds in the brown, patchy garden.
I needed to shoulder the door open. Inside, a mountain of letters and flyers had piled up on the welcome mat.
Down the hall, a huge archway connected the landing with a lounge, where a bar sat against the far wall, surrounded by upholstered sofas, a low table, and tie dye sheets strung over the filthy carpet. Everything had a real elegant vibe, despite the musty air.
I’d drained two glasses of whiskey before Gertrude arrived.
“Looks like you’ve had a rough evening.”
I said we could talk in the morning.
“Not a chance. You can’t take negative energy to bed. Come on, confession is good for the soul.”
She sat on the sofa and patted the empty seat next to her. So, with a weary sigh, I shared a tale of deranged exes.
“Crazy,” she said.
“I sure can pick ‘em, huh?”
“No, I mean you’re crazy.”
“What?”
“Think about it. What’s more likely: that your ex’s are secretly in collusion, or you’re being paranoid? Look how bloodshot your eyes are. When’s the last time you got a good night’s rest?”
She made a great point; teenagers on the street occasionally shouted ‘Bugs’ or ‘Thumper’ at me. Jennie might’ve come up with the nickname herself. I pinched the bridge of my nose, groaning.
“Look, sleep here tonight. Tomorrow we’ll brainstorm ways you can make it up to Jennie.”
I fumbled through my pockets for a cigarette.
“Really?” Gertrude said. “If you insist on poisoning your lungs, can you at least do it away from my home?”
“Well if I can’t smoke, I’m gonna need a refill.” I shook my empty glass.
On my way toward the bar, a wave of wooziness hit me. My first instinct was to blame it on the alcohol, but there was something else.
It was her reaction to the cigarette. My finger ran through the thick layer of dust along the bar’s countertop. Why was it like the place had been abandoned? Why did Gertrude always pressure me to stay with my psycho girlfriends? And how come she always reached out, as if on cue, whenever my relationships hit problems? It couldn’t be coincidence…
I poured two glasses of whiskey and carried them to the sofa. “So, you’re really against the whole smoking thing, huh?”
“Of course. It’s a filthy habit.”
“Yeah. Plus, there was that mess with your husband. House fire, right?”
“I’d rather not discuss it.”
“Sure, sure.” I ignited the lighter with a roll across my trouser leg.
Gertrude grabbed a cushion and hugged it. “What are you doing?”
“Alright, cut the crap. What the hell’s going on? Have you been sending your friends to date me?”
“What are you talking about?”
I wrestled the cushion from her and held the lighter beneath it. “I want an explanation right now or I’m torching this place.”
This was an empty threat. I wasn’t some pyromaniac—I just wanted answers. Inch by inch, I raised the flame. “Last chance. Why are the women in my life acting weird?”
Gertrude grabbed for the lighter. As I swatted her wrists away, we both got scorched, and for a moment her skin went wild with spasms, a sensation I can only compare to reaching inside a bucket of wet, writhing maggots. My gaze whipped between her face and her hands, which vibrated like plucked guitar strings.
Before I could scream, she yanked me up, clamped a cold, wrinkled palm across my mouth, and forced me against the wall. I thrashed around, unable to move. For a lady old enough to collect a pension, she was crazy strong.
She waited until I ran out of breath, then said, “Michael, please. I’m not going to hurt you. Open your heart and listen.”
What else could I do?
“You were right before. I have been keeping a secret from you. The truth is, I’ve been in love with you since we met. I’d never flown before. And you were so so sweet. You started talking about this other woman, but I knew our energies were perfect for each other. And it’s like I always say, love makes us do crazy things. You can’t begrudge me that can you?”
She looked as if she expected me to respond, so I shook my head.
“But I think we’ve reached a point where our connection is so deep we can be completely transparent with one another.” She took a slow, steady breath. “Michael, all your ex’s, Luna, Sadie, Jennie. They’ve all been…well, me.”
I stared at her, confused.
She sighed. “It’ll be easier if I just show you.”
Out of nowhere her hand wriggled again, then her face tightened, as though the skin was being stretched over the bone. Wrinkles smoothed out and colour bled into her grey hair, turning it brown, and within seconds I found myself face-to-face with Jennie. Even her vintage clothes morphed into a green blouse and white slacks.
“See?” she said in Jennie’s voice, her now blue eyes locked on mine.
I screamed into the soft flesh of her palm.
“Sssh, it’s okay. I’m not gonna hurt you. Watch.”
Her entire body jerked and twitched, the muscles spasming as she shifted from Jennie to Luna. “See? Think of these as costumes”—from Luna to Sadie—"the important thing is what’s underneath. And you’ve fallen in love with what’s underneath three times. Now I’m going to let go, but I need you to promise you won’t overreact. Understand?”
On the verge of a panic attack, I nodded furiously.
The second she pulled away I made a break for the exit. The thing posing as Sadie grabbed me and hurled me backwards against the wall.
Like a disappointed teacher, she put her hands on her hips. “I’ve been so patient with you, Michael. So very, very patient.”
She blocked off any hope of escape. I sidestepped around the outer edge of the room, towards the bar.
“All those years moulding you. Trying to grow you into the man I know you can be. I really thought we had it this time. For the record, I wanted to do this the easy way. But drastic times...”
I was so scared I slammed right into the cabinet and yelped. Glass bottles chattered together, and then something wet ran down the back of my shirt. It was whiskey, leaking from the overturned bottle onto the carpeted floor.
Speaking more to herself now, Gertrude said, “I’ll just have to keep you here until you love me as much as I love you. Of course, that means posing as you so nobody gets suspicious, but that’s no trouble. I’ll tell your dad you’re moving to Italy. You always loved Italy.”
Pose as me? She'd been killing my ex's and taking their place, I was just the latest in a long line. She’d keep me as a personal sugar baby if I didn’t escape, but how? She was impossibly strong, and the only thing that seemed to scare her was…
Snatching the bottle, I doused the remaining whiskey all over the carpet and furniture. As I flicked the lighter open, Sadie’s hands shot up.
“Bugs…darling…what are you doing?”
I took three slow, steady breaths. “Breaking up with you, you crazy bitch.”
I tossed the lighter forward. Within seconds flames sprung up all around us, spreading as far as the sofa. Sadie’s shoe caught fire, and as she stamped around, unintentionally fanning the blaze, her body writhed again, starting with the ankles. Fat boils climbed up every inch of exposed skin, milky white and with the consistency of frog spawn, like she’d had a killer allergic reaction to poison ivy.
She dropped to her knees, wailing like a wounded animal. This was my chance.
I made a break for the exit, giving the creature as wide a berth as possible. But as I got one foot planted in the hall something clamped tight around my ankles. My chin hit the floor, then I started sliding backwards.
I twisted onto my back. Where Sadie’s left arm should’ve been, a tentacle-like appendage stretched across the length of the room, a distance of over twenty feet. It reeled me toward her like a fish on a line. Whatever that thing was no longer looked human. It melted like an ice statue, with no bones or connective tissue inside, its lips nose and mouth becoming hideously elongated before dripping off in huge globs like melted candlewax. A fire alarm started wailing as the tentacle dragged me through the flames, scorching my arms and legs.
The loose mass of skin reached out and encased me like a mother bird sheltering its eggs.
“WHY WON’T YOU LOVE ME?” all my ex’s voices screamed at once. Whichever direction I looked, silhouettes of faces rose and fell, as if trying to burst through. Parts of them dripped inside my mouth, disgustingly warm with a bitter taste worse than Vaseline.
I put everything into clawing my way out if there. What was left of the beast had the consistency of wet clay and came apart just as easily. I tore away chunks until there was a hole large enough to squeeze through. Then, I crawled along surrounded by black smoke.
At the far side of the room I risked a glance back and saw a bumpy, uneven hand reaching out of a puddle of ooze. Soon I was crawling over the bristly welcome mat, then fumbling for the door. All I remember after that are paramedics wrestling me into an ambulance…
A specialist officer came to see me at the hospital the next morning. They’d been unable to contact the homeowner, Gertrude Huyton, and through his line of questioning I could tell they hadn’t found her ‘remains’ inside the charred house. Like the wicked witch of the West, my stalker had melted. I told the officer she said I could stay the night, and that I probably started the fire by dropping a cigarette.
“In that case, we’ll keep trying to reach her.” He walked to the curtain surronding my bed and paused. “Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, her cat is missing.”
“Her...cat?”
“Yeah. The little black one. One of the firemen pulled it out of the wreckage. The poor thing had burns over its legs but it ran off before anybody could take it to the vet.”
I swallowed a gulp and thanked him for telling me.
And now I’m still sitting here listening while nurses rush back and forth, terrified any one of them might be Gertrude…

Hi all! My Dad and I are flying into London for 10 days in July and having a hard time creating an itinerary because there is just so much we want to do!
Our big ticket list items are Edinburgh and York (my dad has a friend he wants to meet in York on the weekend) and otherwise we are pretty open to ideas.
We definitely want to spend only a couple of days in London because my Dad has been several times before - we are more interested in the nature and smaller cities but I want to see the Tower, walk through Trafalgar, and maybe see Buckingham, but we plan to only spend a day or two doing this.
I am thinking that we travel up the east side of England towards Edinburgh and thinking about stopping in Cambridge and Newcastle - do you recommend stopping here and would a day be adequate to get a feel for those cities?
As far as the nature side of things, my dad is interested in Wales but I am more looking at the Highlands (Skye, Pitlochry, etc)…. which would be more doable in a short amount of time (if either are able to be appreciated in two days)? We will be renting a car in either Edinburgh or London and do not mind driving long distances.
We are looking forward to castles, getting a feel for the smaller towns and cities, and seeing some amazing architecture and nature scenes. We do not care so much about museums and shops but we both really appreciate good food if you guys have any recommendations for authentic Scottish food in Edinburgh.
Thanks in advance!

Got this from an article in the times. It might be behind a paywall. Anyway the author Tiffany Murray grew up at Rockfield Studios in Wales. Many acts recorded there including Sabbath, Hawkwind, Queen etc. Her mother was a Cordon Bleu chef who would prepare food for the artists. I thought the sub might like this recipe they made for Lem:
Lemmy's Jack Daniel's Syllabub
Ingredients
• 1 pint double cream
• Cup caster sugar (if not more? I'm using Jack Daniel's, after all)
• Zest of 4 lemons
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 10 tbsp JD (or more; I didn't measure for Lemmy, but you don't want to end up with Irish coffee consistency)
• 60g of amaretto biscuit, crushed, plus extra to serve
Method
Throw all but JD and sugar into the Kenwood bowl with whisk. Now sugar, JD last. I made Lemmy come in and taste it. He'd almost ruin it by pouring more Jack Daniel's in. It was a rather unpleasant brown colour but at least I got him to eat some food.
