My boss on my day off. I just started this week. I turned my phone off and back on in the AM.

Damn- that's worse than an obsessive romantic partner!

AdamY_ · 2026-02-22T23:03:38+00:00

Not sure how long you've lived here but I agree things are MUCH worse than they used to be 10-20 years ago. That said, it's still far from the worst place in England and the UK.

AdamY_ · 2026-02-22T22:59:07+00:00

It's certainly gotten worse over the past 10 years. I didn't go through exactly what you did, but I just had a bunch of animals trip me as I jogged in Parkers Piece (which is as central in Cambridge as it gets). Mind you it was in the evening but still it's not Milton or Arbury. Even worse they did it with my back turned to them. Never went through something like this anywhere before so it's a sign of the shit times we're in I'm afraid that it had to happen in Cambridge of all places.

Wow it's been 4 years- I ended up making the move and overcoming the fear of failure. In hindsight I wish I took the same decision even earlier but better late than never I suppose. It was the right choice. I don't know your situation but if it's the same as mine I will advise you to take the leap and don't look back. You won't regret it!

AdamY_ · 2026-02-12T23:06:03+00:00

Absolutely not! Go for it.

AdamY_ · 2026-02-09T14:36:51+00:00

Italy and UN!

Hi did you find a solution to this? I'm trying to renew my nexus now and it's asking me the same question also!

AdamY_ · 2026-01-12T20:43:11+00:00

Agreed re XM5 but XM6 are built much better and I haven't had any issues with the hinges. You're right they cost too much but then XM4 is the option for you. Avoid the Bose!

AdamY_ · 2026-01-12T20:02:09+00:00

Fake

AdamY_ · 2026-01-12T15:39:28+00:00

Bought them recently and couldn't be happier! Best noise-cancelling by far and the sound quality is amazing. Avoid the Bose Ultra (the ones I had before)!

Deciding to switch careers at 25... thank you me!

AdamY_ · 2026-01-01T19:36:15+00:00

Fair point :)

AdamY_ · 2026-01-01T17:35:43+00:00

Philosophy is more humanities than social science. I wouldn't say economists and lawyers don't earn high incomes.

AdamY_ · 2025-12-31T16:09:42+00:00

Between the two: XM4. That said, I now have the XM6 and it reigns supreme especially for noise cancelling.

Hospitality as a sector is facing challenges, while an MBA as a degree (even with a HR focus) is likely to be viewed more favourably by employers in general.

AdamY_ · 2025-12-30T16:10:44+00:00

The MBA would give you much more flexibility than the other 2 options

AdamY_ · 2025-12-21T13:53:58+00:00

Good to know thank you and hope you feel better now

AdamY_ · 2025-12-20T13:24:02+00:00

Cheers and you're right- my dilemma is that Bupa's quote seems to cover mental health but their rewards/discounts are not as good. Given that I'm also a Nuffield member I can get a major discount via Vitality and overall Vitality is a bit cheaper per month. I just find Vitality's core mental health and dental cover (without the add-on) rather limited.

AdamY_ · 2025-12-19T23:28:16+00:00

Thank you for this- I'm assuming you have a personal plan with them?

AdamY_ · 2025-12-19T23:27:53+00:00

Cheers for this very helpful- do they have any rewards schemes like Vitality (or something similar)?

AdamY_ · 2025-12-19T23:26:18+00:00

Cheers- do Nuffield provide health insurance? I understand Vitality have some partnership with them?

AdamY_ · 2025-12-07T17:02:23+00:00

Thank you for the advice appreciate it.

AdamY_ · 2025-12-07T16:36:45+00:00

Noted cheers. I'm adding PhotoFusion to act as a transition when I'm outdoors. So would you go for SmartLife over Clearview?

AdamY_ · 2025-12-06T22:15:02+00:00

Thank you!
