This is alarming for the rest of the world, those asymptomatic ones are the stealthiest! At least they've started banning the consumption of cats and dogs as well as the trade of wild animals.

Since the situation with Covid19 is compelling many to cut their hair at home, I'm back to using my buzzer. I'm thinking about barbers that might be struggling with their business now )-= @SilentAndShy I think the most efficient way to explain to the barber what kind of hairstyle you'd want is...

You have my condolences, Remus. Stay safe. It's also been changing during these 2 weeks of being-confined-at-home, I'm starting to feel the need to go out but can't really do so without a valid reason, the government is restricting leisure walks to 1 hour and within 1 Km (0.62 miles) of one's...

I hope you are all doing well, I see that some are finding the situation advantageous as far as SA is concerned. The situation in France is an ongoing mess — first, a decree restricting people's movement to important matters only, now it's evolving to parks and forests' access being restricted...

Hello everyone, It's been exactly one month since FriendlyShadow – a fellow SPW member that's been active fairly often until recently – didn't log in to the forum. Her inactivity just a few days after posting this thread (Im gonna die soon.) worries me greatly, given the scary content of the...

Hello FriendlyShadow, Your situation is saddening to read about; I don't know how well I could relate to this since my relationship with my parents isn't the same as with yours, but I do relate to having felt trapped with something and having felt powerless to solve it, because I had felt...

1. 'tell you what. (When trying to negotiate with someone, hearing the expression makes it sound like a concession is about to be made to your own advantage, but this isn't always the case) 2. With all due respect. (Just like @F0AM 's "Not trying to be rude but") Hearing this expression usually...

After reading some articles about this condition being accentuated by a lack of reading, I was wondering if any of you people could relate to it. I think it has a lot of truth in it, I don't really read books that often (apart from technical ones and linguistic ones) and that's what makes me...

Hello FriendlyShadow, First of all, I'd like to express my admiration for what you did by posting this video; I didn't think this condition would be as common as it apparently is, I didn't even know the name for it. DeadmanWalking summed the thing up pretty well — there is a world of...

Thankfully, and when I was a kid, the barber would always be busy chatting with his colleagues as to not engage in any conversation since it had always been the same barber knowing what sort of haircut I fancied. I'd hardly be spoken to about anything other than my haircut or some skin condition...

Ever since I joined SPW, I've been experiencing a gradual shrinkage of its active population; people disappearing so abruptly to then never be heard about again. The trend kept going down, as I remember refreshing the then "Who's online" tab, which used to show more than 15 pages of visitors &...

Hello fellow SPWers, I've been away for quite sometime, major changes in my life have taken place during that period ; therefore, the purpose of this post is to attempt to summarize what has been going on during that time. For the lazy ones I've included a tl;dr part at the very bottom of this...

I was listening to the ТНМК playlist while at work on Spotify, then this track comes up in between. https://www.deezer.com/en/track/85083808 I was wondering, is this guy speaking in English a Finn? It's hard to tell because there is no sound B that would be pronounced as P by your average...

I was in the library yesterday revising analog electronics, and I noticed that the window of my room could be seen by many students from the residence. So that's what I've done. Consider this my humble contribution to bring more peeps to these forums.

I would like to get in contact with someone located in the Parisian region, preferably a woman, to hang out with, I see this as a way of maintaining my spoken English as well as an opportunity to walk outside during the weekend. Let's not mistake ourselves I am not looking for a date, this is...

Something has been happening a lot to me in public transportation lately , one person staring at me for no apparent reason, women especially, I'd say one fifth of the time. It's just one person each time, if it was a group of people it would obviously suggest there would be something wrong with...

Everything is coming out of nowhere. Lately my mind has been playing tricks on me, I can't even look people in the eyes anymore when I am in public transportation or walking on the street, out of fear and discomfort, it comes and goes very randomly. Generally when I am in public transportation...

Hello people, I am making this thread as a personal curiosity regarding how other countries are in every aspect one could think of, I am also sure that all of us here will learn a lot from this. Your inputs are more than welcome! Let me start : Algeria : Social/Cultural aspect ...

Hello, Lately, I have met a woman at a language Meetup, which since, I see at least once a week. I've proposed to meet her outside of the Meetup context 3 times, she agreed every time, we then would go outside just for walking and talking about whatever that would cross our minds, but we would...
