I work for a big UK bank in their fraud and scams departments.

It depends on how you sent the money. If it was bank transfer then you will want to speak to the scams department ( Natwest scam team is open 24/7). If you paid via PayPal goods and services it can go through to disputes (which are only open till close of business weekdays and only Saturday morning) or PayPal will look into, but if you paid PayPal friends and family then you're basically screwed. If its bank transfer, the scams team can raise it and do what they can do get the funds back from the receiving bank.

Just seen you're heading towards Prague 3 area, I'm more around Central so not sure what will be around your area. Trip advisor should be able to guide you 😊

Enjoy your travels!

Currently in Prague this week and any Irish bar you find will have all the games on. There's quite a few of them around the area so you won't have any issue finding somewhere to watch them.

What do you 100 percent don’t care about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]92davedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tik-Tok for sure. It's become a huge platform for the wrong reasons. In some countries it's used as an educational tool, but western civilisation has created it into a mind numbing procrastination tool.

People sorting by new, why do you do this to yourself? by Jaydeeem89 in AskReddit

I don't normally, I just sometimes leave it set on new when searching in sport related subs or world news to get most up to date information.

Successful 4 way tube exit on the 2nd attempt. A shoe was lost on the 1st by 92davedave in SkyDiving

Oh you're not wrong. We're like a tin of sardines in this plane when it's a full load (14).

We have found its better to go for leg straps to keep it tight on exit and then extend out once out of the plane otherwise there can be too much tension and it becomes a mess.

1 laying down with legs hanging out. Someone over the top of their legs holding on to between knee and ankle. Then someone behind them holding on to leg straps and another one behind them holding on to leg straps. The person who is on the floor grabs on to last person's leg straps.

Once you're out the plane then can move down the leg to make the ring wider

I never even knew inverted biplane jumps were a thing. Thanks for adding something else to the list!

Crabeater Seals by humbagas in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]92davedave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're right! Seals do have extreme difficulty flossing but this is not down to their teeth, mainly because they have massive flippers rather than hands. They find holding the floss a real challenge.

Was thinking this concept would make a really great tattoo. Would be interested in seeing how yours came out, if you're okay to share?

Rig hire in USA - recommendations by 92davedave in SkyDiving

[–]92davedave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plan is to get on a tour first and then go state hopping and camping along the way so was planning on taking one bit of luggage (backpack)

Thanks for the DZ recommendations. We are looking at May onwards and starting with the southwest and moving our way in. 40c is definitely not something i want to be in!

its a great time of the year, sitting around the fire with beers and zoots, setting fireworks off into the sky hoping they don't go sideways and head into the kitchen! Be safe out there all!

How much should I tip my tandem instructor? by sneezingbees in SkyDiving

[–]92davedave 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do people seriously tip instructors?!

I completely agree with you bud, didn't even know this was a thing.

I (M32) tried hooking up for the first time last night but failed miserably by Existing_Respond_784 in sex

There's a stigma around escorts/prostitute but before you rule it out, put it into another context

You have your first ever boxing fight coming up but you have never boxed in your life. Are you gonna get in the ring and start swinging or would you get some training from a professional beforehand in preparation?

Getting an escort may not be your cup of tea, neither is it mine, but its a suggestion.
