4 AnswersOther - Politics & Government8 years agoSomeone I know has stolen from me and I need to find him?
So it's only £100, but I'm desperate for it after I was made redundant and have no income.
I feel the police won't take it seriously due to the low amount of money, and a small claims court will probably cost me more than the £100.
The problem is, he's always been in trouble, been to prison etc. He moves around constantly and changes his number.
Basically, before I can do anything i need to find out where he is right now.
He's blocked me on everything and won't answer my calls. He says he's gone to sheffield but i don't believe him.

Recently I had a meal out. For desert there were three small portions of different deserts. When i put my fork into the chocolate one, it was so dense that I thought it was icecream, but when i ate it realised it was some kind of chocolate cake, or incredibly dense mousse? It kind of disappeared in my mouth. It was amazing and i can't figure out what it was!! Any ideas?

3 AnswersWords & Wordplay8 years agoTo all retail staff....?
I have always been a little stumped on what to wear for retail interviews. I usually go for smart trousers, black top and a blazer but have seen others get the same job as me after turning up to interviews in jeans and trainers.
If you work in retail, please tell me what type of retail it is (I.E newsagents, fashion, etc) and what you wore to your interview.
Also it would be very useful if any supervisors or mangers could tell me what they'd expect someone to wear for them to be hired.
Thanks so much!!
3 AnswersFashion & Accessories8 years agoCan you represent a chemical structure without indicating which chemicals make them up?
For example, would a scientist recognise the structure of dopamine without the HO, HO, NH2? Is the structure exclusive to the chemical? Or is it only known when other chemical names are placed beside it?

2 AnswersMagazines8 years agoI need help fixing my relationship following my 'indiscretion.' Mature answers would be very welcome?
My boyfriend and I met when we were 18, have been together for over three years and have lived together for around two.
I had a very messy childhood and was recovering from a breakdown.
He has always been an insecure boy, through various little events, though on the whole he has had a stable, happy life.
The first year was incredible. Perfect. He welcomed me into his family who I absolutely adore. We would go out and drink together at the weekends. He would buy me little things and we had so much fun together.
One morning, after we had moved in together, he came home from work early. His company had gone into liquidation and he had lost his job. He was in the middle of an apprenticeship and was very worried he might not be able to continue it with another company.
Fortunately, he found a new job, but found he was nowhere near as praised and respected as he had been in his old one. It is only after 2 years of hindsight and long talks that we have worked out this must have been where everything went wrong.
He just kind of evaportated. He would sit and play computer games, ignoring me when I spoke to him. He never went out other than to work. I felt he didn't love me and didn't want me or care about life.
Eventually, after quite a while, my efforts to make our relationship a happy one again became more and more futile. I felt totally alone, unloved and frustrated.
I guess realistically, we should have ended it here.
However, I met another man. He was firey, passionate, ambitious. We started to spend time together and I felt like I had fallen for him (though I now understand this all to be complete fantasy due to what I was lacking.)
My boyfriend and I begun a series of breakups. I had always been honest and very communicative over what was happening and what I was feeling. We'd break up, I'd go to this other guy, my boyfriend would then beg to have me back and promised he'd change, but he never did. He never even seemed to make an effort.
I never cheated on my boyfriend. I kissed this other guy during the breakups but that was it.
What ruined things in the end was my boyfriend reading emails I had sent to this other guy, reading the words that I had once said to him. It killed him.
I'd continue to try to fix our relationship on a regular basis. I'd shut this other guy off, be good to my boyfriend, not even going out, but his actions would frustrate me so much it was quite short lived. He'd go through my phone and emails, and if I ever was with friends, try to get me home even when there was no reason.
I realise now that this was a natural reaction to being betrayed. I should have had more patience, more understanding, but we were both so obsessed with being the ones in the right that we wouldn't back down.
I just felt like, not only did he not want to have fun with me, but he also wanted to ruin any fun I was having without him.
Now it's all come to a head. I've stopped talking to this other guy, as I know he's no good for me.
My boyfriend and I are spending to time apart. He doesn't see a way out of this. He says his anger takes over any love he feels for me. I have told him that in time, with work and patience, we will overcome that. I don't know if he believes me.
I am willing to do anything to fix this. We both still love eachother and want to be together. His familyis my family, both of us would have to move out of our house if we broke up and neither of us actually have anywhere we can go.
Now, with hindsight, I realise that waiting for HIM to make an effort and show me he loved me was pointless, as I had hurt him too much to make him want to. I need to get us back into a position where he might want to do that again. I so desperately want to mend his heart. He's the love of my life.
Yes, maybe we should call it a day, but the good things we have done for eachother and the memories and the love we feel even outweighs this bad stuff.
So I'm looking for ideas. I can't afford relationship counselling, unfortunately. I am happy to give him access to all of my accounts until he trusts me again.
Has anyone been through a similar experience and survived? Your comments would mean the world to me.
Thank you.

1 AnswerOther - Food & Drink8 years agoIs it ok to wear black skinny jeans with a blazer for an interview?
I will be attending an interview for a retail company. It is not fashion retail but a company known for its staff being unique, tattooed etc.
Skinny jeans and a blazer look great and look smart but I don't know if it's too risky?

1 AnswerClimbing9 years agoI am interested in raising some money for a mental health charity, ideas please?
I would like to get sponsors to do something for a mental health charity in the UK. Ideally, I would love to do something like the three peaks challenge as I feel walking mountains is very symbolic and relates to those who suffer mental illness. However, prices for this begin at £349 per person. Of course I will put money in myself but I am not the most popular person and don't think I could raise this kind of money easily. I will try my best, but i don't want to be dependant on raising hundreds of pounds. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I would be unable to do a bunjee jump or sky dive as I'm terrified of heights and drops :(
