US is a pussycat in serial killers clothing... I’m a good judge of character... probably...

I imagine that most serial killers veer to the slightly more stylish but you’re right...... he IS a pussycat.

Although.... probably pretty annoyed that we outed him. So overall one of those bastard cats that comes and sits on your lap and then gouge holes in your arms for having the temerity to touch it.
 
Where are all the history loving tourists when you need them. Just been offered tickets for Ceremony of the Keys for tonight.

Hey just because I dress like the Unabomber and like reading and talking about serial killers does not mean I am one. Also, the new season of Mindhunter starts this weekend on Netflix.
 
Lucky. Maybe one of the more impressive ceremonies in world. Still never been canceled.

I think the Ceremony of the Keys was originally a 'knock, knock' joke that went wrong, the warders have been trying to get it right ever since.

Oooooh! Despite living in London all my life, I've never actually done a proper visit of the Tower of London! Would love to see the Ceremony of the Keys! :D

Seriously, the Tower of London is a great day out for the history buffs. Try to visit when the language school kids aren't in town, they have no respect for anyone's crown jewels. The yeoman warders are highly entertaining (Don't call them beefeaters!) And the Norman chapel of St.John is spiritual. Just have to remember it is a palace of infinite tragedy.
It's yonks since I was last there, I keep promising myself a week of Historic Royal Palaces but life keeps getting in the way.
 
I have plans tonight - but it’s raining and I’m tired... someone tell me I should still go...

Because it’s very tempting to get room service and watch Ru Paul’s drag race instead...
 
Two hour workshop on social anxiety and how to talk to strangers... followed by an hour of giggles...

It seemed like a good idea at the time... now the idea of two hours practising talking to strangers... with strangers... is filling me with anxiety :eek:

The universe has just given me my answer... the trains going to the social anxiety thing are ‘subject to delay’ ... I don’t actually believe in signs but I’ll take it....
 
Anything about social anxiety is going to feel overwhelming. I walked out of an anxiety management psych Ed group because it was too much, that and sitting next to a judgemental middle aged woman who wouldn’t shut the fuck up ...

Go easy on yourself. That’s the best advice.

It felt quite empowering when I booked it... I was unprepared for feeling a little sick about it this afternoon...

Sorry about your experiences, some people (myself included) get verbal diarrhoea when nervous... the woman may have temporarily lost she filter, :heart:
 
So now I’ve shown I’m a coward, my only question is what do I want for din dins?

Chloe is pretty good you know... fully vegan, they do a lovely fake fish n chips

Nando’s are doing a cataplana I’ve not yet tried...

Why hellllllloooooooo...... who are you???? (Ding dong! Doing my best Terry Thomas moves for you there)

Sorry for the delay in replying, have been very busy. I haven't been on lit for a while but stumbled upon this thread and noticed you. Very nice indeed ;-)
