Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: I came out of lurking for this one. Anyway, last year, my English teacher organized a trip to London. He was a fantastic guy, great teacher, and fun to be around. The trip was only open to kids in our class. Most of the class had had him as a teacher for t ....


Comment preview: I had a trip from London bridge station to Commercial road (a few miles) and the driver used his tom-tom on one phone rather than the uber app on another. I stopped him when he was about 2 miles passed the place I needed to go.. Each time he passed a junct ....


Comment preview: >indulge in a variety of frequent, small pleasures double lattes, uptown pedicures, and high thread-count socks I agree that small indulgences like that can make you happy *when it's not your norm*. I have friends who get daily lattes and weekly pedic ....


Comment preview: This will be unpopular, but: What's to say he hasn't spent the past 10 years setting money aside to buy a beach house? Or that his wife has contributed massively, and maybe has her own job that brings in a significant amount of cash? Or that he cashed in b ....


Comment preview: Haha it was though I have to say. Naa I still kept eating normally. Basically, I went on a college trip to London for 4 days and I just didn't need a shit. And I ate out at restaurants each day, I just genuinely didn't need one. Then I went straight from L ....


Comment preview: Hi! I'm new here and you may have noticed me commenting around in various places, so I wanted to say hi so you aren't like "who is this random cello person". I'm a designer/project manager in my mid-20s living in the Pacific Northwest. I also play the cell ....


Comment preview: The right picture was taken a couple of days ago on a trip to London, I also managed to find and buy the Naked 2 palette that I'd been lusting after for too long! That was my first try playing around with it and omgsosogood! I used to think of makeup as a ....


Comment preview: So, I'm about 50 years old, so when I tell you my dad was a Greaser, I mean he was a real Greaser - putting dual exhausts on his first Chevy Bel Air, bylcream in his hair, and a doo-wop on his lips. Flash forward to the early 90s, and I'm on a business tri ....


Comment preview: Hah. Started watching the EPL 8-9 years ago on business trips to London. Had to pick a team to root for. ManU, too easy. Chelsea, too neuveau riche. Arsenal, too French. Liverpool felt like I had to be from there to support them. Fulham was a contend ....


Comment preview: To be honest, when this picture was taken I hadn't seen a single episode of Doctor Who. It wasn't until I showed my younger brothers (and fellow redditors) the picture of this "BBC character actor" I met on my trip to London. They freaked out and told me T ....


Comment preview: Now I feel like season 5 was the worst piece of filler I've ever seen in any TV show. Like, if you think about it, nothing happened! Sure, it was revealed that Bethany Young was the one in Alison's grave, but we didn't learn practically anything about her ....


Comment preview: I think the closest I've ever come to this was during a family trip to London many years ago. We were at Buckingham palace watching the changing of the guard, when a crowd started forming near the gate. A royal car, presumably carrying Prince Charles and D ....


Comment preview: >partially to make me feel better about myself. Let me tell you a story. It goes like this. In high school, I went on a field trip to London with my history and English teachers. There were like 18 of us high school freshmen and basically 3 adults: two ....


Comment preview: Well. The weird kid was.. pretty weird. He startet at my high school later than the other kids, because he was bullied at his previous one. He knew no social boundries, at all. He went around grouping and hugging all the girls, including the female teacher ....


Comment preview: It sounds like you're very much on the right track and getting your stuff together to manage a move. You may want to consider moving locally, which is probably cheaper than London, and continue saving for the bigger move to the city. If you decide you ca ....


Comment preview: Every Wembley game so far has been a near sell out. That's a bigger crowd for a regular season game than generally attends the Super Bowl. Edit: I am a British person and lifelong Dolphins and NFL fan (since I became aware of it in the mid-80s anyway). Mor ....


Comment preview: Forgive me if you're one of the two people that read this last time I submitted. Our year group had a school trip to London at the end of our GCSE year, where we stayed in a hotel over night. My room mate, let's call him "L", kicked me out of the room so h ....


Comment preview: My girlfriend doesn't care about fashion, loves her 10 year old H&M pieces and is pretty content with how she dresses (she does have a weakness for buying shoes that never get worn though). She unfortunately feels bad if I dress "up" (including but not ....


Comment preview: Ok, you were best friends, closer than sisters, texting multiple times an hour. Many people have that sort of relationship with a closer friend when they're teenagers and even into their early 20s. They outgrow it though, particularly as their relationship ....


Comment preview: **Some pre-game stats and facts for you all** * Chelsea have won only two of their last 13 Premier League matches with Liverpool (W2, D4, L7). * five of Chelsea's last seven league wins against Liverpool have come under Jose Mourinho. * Luis Suarez scored ....


Comment preview: I love telling this story. Our college musical society made a fuckton of a profit one year, enough to take everyone in the society on a free trip to to London's West End and buy them tickets to a show. Afterward, a bunch of us went out on the town, and hal ....


Comment preview: I was about 17 and on a solo trip to London. Late one night, I was meeting a friend at the Finsbury Park tube station when some kids started harassing me. I walked out of the tube and made a right onto Seven Sisters Road then another right, hoping to go ar ....


Comment preview: I actually visited the stadiums of the top 6 finishers from last season just last week. (I have photos if anyone's interested). Here's what I think: **Chelsea**: Their stadium is a small one in a very expensive area of London. There's a little bit of are ....


Comment preview: The receptionist at one of my old jobs. She was pregnant, and she was convinced that the father was going to marry her, despite the fact that he had so far refused to even tell her his last name, or where he lived. I tried to gently suggest to her that thi ....
