Went to the dentist and the only concern was that I brush my top teeth a little hard Apparently I'm at risk of "tall teeth by the time I'm 50" I smiled as I didn't know if that was good or bad She quickly followed up with "and you don't want that" So turns out I'll never have anything tall ๐Ÿฅฒ

I think we might need to invest a million pounds into the TLDR set Because something about the lighting here has made this one of the best photos of me ever taken

Potentially controversial take. When I'm at a history museum, I'm not really fussed until we get to at least 1800. I've seen enough broken pots, weird fragments of tile and pieces of old armour now.

Okay, so we just had dinner at a KBBQ restaurant For context, this is a Michelin Bib Gourmand spot. So not Michelin starred, but it's a reputable establishment. Anyway, when we were seated I thought the woman was a little abrupt and rude with us. Wasn't loving the vibe.

She told us she had a lot of gay friends. So I asked where gay people hang out in Seoul. She asked why I wanted to know if I was engaged. I said it was just nice to meet people and she said "okaaay. Well that's a red flag downgraded to a yellow, but you (Ross) keep an eye on him".

She then told us that some of her gay friends were very loyal and others liked to gossip. She immediately guessed that I was the one who liked gossip and Ross was the loyal one. She then proceeded to roll her eyes and say she needed to go home. We didn't see her again.

The rest of our conversation included such highlights as: She asked what we did for work. I said YouTube. She asked me to repeat myself. When I did she said "I'm sorry I must have misheard I thought you did a proper job"

She asked us if we were going to get married or have kids. We said we were engaged, but it was too expensive. She proceeded to demand our monthly salaries, and wanted it converted to SK Won... and to the penny. She then said we owed her a good tip.

She came back to begin bbqing and genuinely the first words out of her mouth were "so are you gay together". At that point I realised I'd fundamentally misread the situation. She wasn't rude, she was a diva. The moment perhaps?

She then asked what drinks we wanted. I said a beer and asked what the difference was between the various options (listed in Korean) she responded "it doesn't matter they all taste like shit"

I found the pool and it didn't seem to be haunted

TLDR Jack@tldrjack.bsky.social

I was just googling if the hotel had a pool and learned that it's one of the "worlds most famously haunted hotels" Does have a pool though So swings and roundabout

The last vestiges of the British empire remain Nothing makes me prouder than the first thing I see in a foreign country being this beacon of retail Keir Starmer might try to kill our British patriotism, but they'll never stop the spirit of 2 soft drinks for ยฃ5.99 ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
