You only close the windows for the hottest hours. Like 1pm - 5pm.

I used to do that. Only just learnt this technique and it makes sense.

Haha, a convo I see you have tried!

Chicanes is how I will be doing this from now on!

This is what I am learning now. Accelerate to required speed, then coast to the next roundabout, rather than driving and breaking at it, and try not to fully stop.

Thats what I thought, but apparently it's not actually true. In cities you are creeping around and slow speeds. Grid roads and a constant cycle of accelerating and breaking. It kills the MPG.

2 Litre Diesel x trail. But as I said, I was driving my mums 1.3 petrol Qashqai and getting similar.

The truth does hurt. We just have different perspectives on what the truth is.

Thats a very simplistic conclusion. The truth however, is far more complex.

It also isnt going away by focusing only on the surface level. The bigger problem is the driving force behind it. This is not a race problem, its a racism problem and it dates back decades. My point is that a 'changing demographic' does not automatically explain a rise in knife crime. More black people doesnt equal more knife crime. I bet most of the perpetrators in MK have been here a long time, not part of the 'changing demographic'. Its a socioeconomic issue, not a race issue, but it is a racism issue, because a certain demographic has been disproportionately sidelined into a lower socioeconomic status. Thats the reality.

Black people are disproportionately represented largely in London based knife crime, marginally outside of London. Black people are also disproportionately represented in socioeconomic status in London and throughout the UK. It is absolutely caused by systemic issues which affect the black community. It is not caused by black people in general, and a growing number of black people in MK is not the obvious cause of a knife crime increase, it is the most simple minded explanation. Perhaps inadequate public services, which were stripped to their bare basics during 14 years of a government who did not prioritise them, had led to a lack of welfare or resources in the growing community of MK, and this had led to the increase in knife crime. That would make much more sense than 'demographics have changed'.

Are black people disproportionately victims of knife crime _because_ they are black, or is it something else which just so happens to affect black people disproportionately? My point was that knife crime is a symptom of a different problem, rather than a growth in the black population. My Reform point is well placed because this type of comment/thinking is the fuel to the rise of reform.

This is more of an explanation than demographic changes. The issues that cause knife crime are socioeconomic, not ethnicity. The only way race factors into it is when we consider the systemic disparity which caused lots of black and brown people to be those lower socioeconomic classes.

It worked fine for me. https://permits.paysmarti.co.uk/login/miltonkeynes/?wtrealm=https%3A%2F%2Fpermits.paysmarti.co.uk%2Flogin%2Fmiltonkeynes%2F&wctx=WsFedOwinState%3DwZpNxZ1TGtDFhgANenkxV1AhrwZcGyHjyDtu4Nm_R4bmEAk-gh4l5Z73am8hQMZCOBbR_kSf3f_3mKEUr92VKmuP3ThsUtl9atPq4kP4btKirTctIlMw96h4IEwU6XW0q2FJDVObtMpp6T0NF9-7upEWgqiCJxJfXVh3JLrUKXE&wa=wsignin1.0&wreply=acct

This person is saying lots of black and brown people came and thats what caused knife crime to rise. Those black and brown people are still there and knife crime has gone down, so I don't know how this works exactly. And lots of the knife crime was committed by white British, but again, its the demographics definitely, mmhmm, and that's why we must all vote reform.

I had no idea.

How is this the milton keynes results? There arent that many councillors here.

The results arent in yet, that page shows nothing.

Ok ok..well, being nearly 50 just means you come from an era of pure unadulterated RnB. You are well seasoned lol My question is are you a RnB head? Is it in your soul?

Why do you say 'least likely'? I can write for most genre's.

I imagine its been landscaped, but I don't know if I would call it artifical.

Campbell Park

Have you ever played Fallout? Almost exactly the same!

Youths, some of which are from underprivileged neighbourhoods, or raised in unstable families, deeply insecure and sometimes disturbed, from carious ethnic backgrounds; are the 'who'. You also fit into a 'usual suspects' generalisation. I wonder if you can identify which one, with your power of deduction?

What are the usual suspects?

If we do not MAKE EXAMPLES of these kids, it will continue to happen. Police and law is too soft now. We sow our own seeds

Thanks everyone.

Their brain would activate the default mode network, which is an essential part of daily functioning, so they can be focused and productive people. It meant they were generally happier and more content. They used their time well and did a lot more in a day. You wanna know why your days fly by so fast? Read about the default mode network.

Norwich is a slower pace of life. It has opportunities but far less than being somewhere like MK simply because of the proximity to London and other cities. Norwich feels like living 10 years behind MK in terms of tech. For example when I left Norwich in 2019 and came to MK - MK had the little delivery robots, had EV charging bays everywhere, had digital pay machines for parking, whereas Norwich had none of the above. It was so outdated it was shocking. It has caught up a bit now, but its always lagging behind new tech and new initiatives. A lot people in Norwich are far simpler and less sharp to interact with - which can be good or bad depending on the situation. Being able to pop into London in 30 minutes is great from MK. Being able to get to the airport in 20 minutes is great too. Norwich is always a much longer journey to go anywhere. And the amount of parks, lakes, and greenspace in MK vastly outnumbers Norwich funnily enough. There is nothing like Willen Lake there. And traffic is a big thing. Everytime I visit Norwich it reminds me of how much time I save by not being stuck in traffic all the time. For me those things make a difference. I went to watch a candlelight concert in Westminster the other week. I am going to watch a theatre play on Broadway soon. I went to a movie premier in Leicester Square. Locally I go for walks or bike rides around Willen Lake, or through Ouse Valley. There are lots of little festivals in Campbell park in the summer. CMK is great for shopping and there are regular events happening in the big square in the shopping centre from fashion shows to lego festivals (although for more independent shops you have to go to Bletchley, Stoney, Newport Pagnell, or Wolverton). But then, even that is nice, we have these set areas with different vibes. Central is more like a USA style city, whereas the other areas are more classic British - Best of both worlds. I prefer it. We have Xacape with a fricking ski-slope in it. Its very cool. But, Night life here in terms of bars and clubs pales in comparison to Norwich. If I were still younger and single I would find it frustrating when I want to party. Yes, I can go to London, but last train back is midnight, and that ain't what you want when partying. Norwich was way better for that. Norwich felt significantly more safe. Its the nature of larger cities, but its noticeable. No where near as many of these little road men types, and that is nice and comfortable. Norwich is charming and the historic architecture is so nice to see. After living there for a while you forget to look around and take it all in, but when I visit now I really notice all the Tudor and Georgian buildings. It is very cute. People are friendly. It doesnt feel as 'dog eat dog' at all, which brings calm and pace, but also less innovation and drive. I think Norwich is great when you are ready to slow down. But if you still want to build and grow, being somewhere like MK wins. Bury St Edmunds you should leave it put. Its like a fraction of what Norwich has, but with prices more like MK. Its very dull and very boring. Northampton would only be suitable as a place to buy something and get more for your money but have access to places like MK. I personally prefer to pay the premium to live in MK, because you lose some of the benefits (like less traffic) by being outside of it. In my opinion your list comes down to Norwich vs MK. Forget the others. And that answer is really about what you want out of life. If you want pace, calm, but still things to do, and dont mind being out the way of everywhere else, then Norwich is great. If you want more action and activity and growth potential with nice parks and more varied locations to visit then MK is better. Night life Norwich wins. Day life, MK wins. Side note. I run a mortgage brokerage in town called Three Keys Mortgages. I also have clients in Norwich. Have you properly explored your buying potential? If not, get in touch, and I will help you get all the answers you need in terms of what you can borrow and what you can afford. If you have any follow up questions just ask. I know both cities like the back of my hand.

The downside of Norwich is the distance to everywhere else. I lived in Norwich for 14 years. I know whats great about it and I know its limitations. I wouldn't move back, but my friends wouldn't leave there. It all depends on your priorities. Funnily enough MK is far greener than Norwich. Traffic in Norwich on a weekend is hell on earth, which MK never has. I could write a whole list of pros and cons.

Its funny how you try to normalise xenophobia and racism lol. Xenophobia and racism are indeed a preference - but that still doesn't make it right.

I have lived in Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and MK. You can DM me if you want. I can answer any questions you might have.

I was very surprised

I'm not sure what you mean by everything is just missing something? I don't get that feeling at all. I live in the city centre and the positives far outweigh the negatives. Once you live here, you'll feel the same.

This isn't necessarily a porn addiction. A few things might have triggered this kink. He may have had a intense fear of being inadequate or being cheated on, and his body, as a defense mechanism, eroticised his fear, so he started to get please from it, rather than pain. And now he is wired this way. He could be gay and doesnt know, and this is his way of connecting with it. It could be 'sperm competition' which is an evolutionary occurrence where he becomes more virile if he is in competition with another man. It might simply be what is called 'compersion' which is the act of feeling joy by seeing someone you care about experiencing pleasure or joy. Its like when you cook food for someone and want to see them enjoying it. So there are a number of reasons he might be this way, and they are not all as simple as 'porn addiction' (although that is another possibility). None of them means he doesn't find you attractive, but you will have to decide if this is something you can live with, because he won't be losing it.

Do you think all people into more divergent sexual orientations have 'porn addictions', or just those into cuckolding? When I found out about it I read into it (I am interested in psychology) and from what I understand there are people who are into that lifestyle, are a part of it, and don't have porn addictions. I'm sure some people will be a result of porn addiction, but other people are just wired differently. It could be that all sexual kinks derive from some kind of self esteem or early trauma, but people seem to resolve and grow past the trauma but still continue to engage in the kink - bdsm, cuckold, foot fetishes etc. I wouldn't just label the guy as having a porn addiction. He might just have a preference for a divergent sexual kink, and that's fine, as long as he finds someone who genuinely enjoys it too. OP - the main thing here is how you feel. He finds you attractive, this kink has nothing to do with that. Its likely the way he is wired. He has a kink. If you can willingly enjoy it with him then great, but if you can't then you will have to break up, because it probably aint gonna change for him.

Ah! So the sister is a half sister in this! You can't leave out such vital pieces of information when the stakes are as high as this 🤦🏻‍♂️

So, your uncle?

Ok thanks for the info. Imma check out if its still good.

There is an R&B room at Pinks? I've never been to Pinks, I heard it was a Gay Club.

Yeah. And besides, we have traditional everywhere. Having one place which dares to be different is pretty cool I think.

Lol hey I needed to, to illustrate the variety of colours. On the regular image they just didn't stand out. It does the job though, but yeah, I would love if it was that vibrant in real life.

I think it's just a matter of perspective. I used to live in Norwich. We had a "heart", the town centre, you can walk through it, it has shops on either side, it's in the middle of the city, etc. Lots of people, lots of footfall, buskers etc. There are two shopping centres/malls connected to it. In MK I have this too, it's just that it's indoors and the shopping centre is a part of it. Other than the fact that it's indoors, there is zero difference. It's in the centre of the city, when I need to get from one side of town to the other I walk through it. Imagine a town centre that keeps you dry when you are going to work. We also have more traditional high streets in Wolverton, Bletchley, Stony, and Newport Pagnell.

Man I think they went wayy left field with that design!

Cromwell has 2 stages. The first is what you are referring to. The later stage, he wasn't so great.

Right.

Where are the existing ones for me to be saying I want to get rid of them?

Let them believe it, so we keep it all to ourselves.

Wing Stop. Five Guys.
