Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.
Welcome to the UK. And if anyone asks, you ain't seen me, right?

I just took a look at your post history to see the origin story to this, seems to me you ARE Lemmy?! Every other post I saw seems to be from you...

Ugh ... Transatlantic train?
it's a special underwater train especially made for Squids (including Flying ones) and their families 😋
P.S. : Joke aside the title means to say that this is the 12th hour of a 15-hour trip. So this picture is inside a period of 1 hour at the end of the trip.
Best wishes to you Flying Squid 😌
Congrats on getting out of here! Good luck on the future!
Isn't the UK Distopian in other bad ways? Like insane government surveillance and monitoring
We have our problems, but we haven’t just voted a literal fascist into power so we’ve got that going for us

You know what it doesn't have? People in power wanting to put queer people in conversion therapy or oppress them in other ways. Which is the main reason we moved.
My daughter isn't trans, she's a lesbian, but they won't stop with trans people. They want to erase queerness in America.

Welcome to the UK :)
I hope y'all can relax soon. I don't regret having left the US years ago; the only hard parts are not being able to see some family much (though Skype and the like help) and certain foods that just don't exist here (less of an issue in the UK than Japan), but copycat recipes can get things close.
I remember seeing the post about you looking for a job there. Congrats on making it out!
I wish you the best here across the pond. ;)
Someone once said that emigrating is trading one set of societal issues for another. If you’re happy with the trade, awesome.
Good luck in your new homeland.

I wish you all the best. Be sure to stock up on tea when you're settled.
Good luck!
Welcome! Hopefully once you're settled you'll be able to find a local pub that does a good sunday roast
The closest pub here is called, I kid you not, The Spread Eagle. I haven't been yet but how can I not?

You did it!! Good on ya.
Welcome to our side of the pond, friend!
The UK just gained several precious people. Good for them!
Lemmy will be okay if you don't keep posting as much as you've been. Do whatever you need to do to set your family up there.
Welcome to Europe! I moved to Germany almost 20 years ago, and holy batflaps am I happy about that choice.

Unmarried up and learned the same thing about the fancy tickets. Travel less often, and also don't hate it as much.
