@shotwithspirit@MegHunterKilmer Setting up the pun opportunity and then taking it away! We are indeed in Bangkok now (after a couple of years in NYC) - at a wonderful (and busy - 10 Masses each weekend!) parish, run by the Redemptorists
@shotwithspirit@MegHunterKilmer Oh wow - I saw that photo and thought ‘that reminds me of Cardiff Celebrate’ - was extremely surprised to see it was! Thank you @MegHunterKilmer for the great talks in the adult & kids streams!
So happy to discover this thread! I feel there was some point where the media suddenly switched from using staycation correctly to instead mean a holiday in the UK - it annoys me a lot…
My annual commitment to die on this hill:
A holiday in the UK is a holiday.
A staycation is staying in your home and doing nice day trips etc.
Always feels like a weird form of snobbery to say it's only a real holiday if it's abroad.
@HaleyCarrots When we lived in NYC, my oldest daughter’s high school basically did this and it was wonderful! ‘This is our only fund raiser, pay now and never receive another fundraising email all year’ - by contrast for the other two the emails never stopped
@youngvulgarian I still remember the trauma I felt seeing the price of my first weekly shop in NYC. Assume you already know, but at least among the supermarket chains in Manhattan, Trader Joes is by far the best value (in that their prices are only a bit more than M&S)
This is a REALLY good tool, that busts the myth that the biggest problem facing deprived areas is that there talented young people leave. Let's take the case of Hartlepool... 🧵

@HBOMaxHelp Hi - I'd like to cancel my subscription as I no longer live in the US, but I can't login to cancel it as I'm not in the US! Can you help? thanks
@AntoniaBonello@DollyDeighton I did successfully manage to open a Chase account without an SSN - but seemingly required just about everyone in the branch to get involved. Think many of their staff don’t realise it’s possible. Apparently branches near UN are better -more used to dealing with folk with no SSN

@dlknowles @TradingJeremy Had my first Amtrak journey the other day (NYC - DC) - operated to time & all seemed good… BUT… train was so shaky was near impossible to work - is that normal for Amtrak or was I unlucky with an old train? (Not Acela)
@dlknowles@ldsandford Took me a long time to get used to it. Like you, wanted to avoid reinforcing any stereotypes, but US friends have taught me when it’s appropriate to press that ‘No tip’ button
