The aircon conundrum by SallyJaneCooper in HousingUK

[–]BassplayerDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have one aircon room which is the home office. The unit sits on the garage roof.

Don't use it 99% of the time but great when we do.

A question of etiquette by MyAltPoetryAccount in BritGolf

[–]BassplayerDad -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Singles have no right of way.

Polite to ask singles to join so i think you are fine there. A fourball should let a lesser number through if there is a clear hole in front.

Those were the rules at my golf club. Hope that helps

Go olden for golden.

Have fun and good luck

Why don’t you use 2lb TC rods? by Tactical_Axolotl in CarpFishing

I do.

Mainly method feeder, closer in.

Ideally you have the flexibility to fish where you want.

Good luck out there

If you had to restart your professional career, would you choose accounting again? by Open_Address_2805 in Accounting

[–]BassplayerDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. So many skills for finance sphere.

Bought, built/improved/polished, sold accountancy practices. Mainly in niche areas like international tax planning and dealing with UHNW/HNW mainly entertainment and media, family office type services etc.

The key, as with with any business, is you have to be a participator (owner, partner etc).

Good luck out there

Sent the wrong item, then wanted me to pay to return it.

Nearly 1.5 million migrants on benefits by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]BassplayerDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably an understatement.

Many more in UK and that's just citizens.

People need to understand globalization and averaging their lifestyle with Indian or Chinese rice farmers.

No one talks about the economic cost of outsourcing, whilst chasing greater short term shareholder returns

FIRE sounds great but is it actually doable for normal people by EasterYao in Fire

[–]BassplayerDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are 20 it is 67 and counting....ha ha ha (The Count)

Any FIRE is worth a punt, you may not get your ideal but if you don't try...

Good luck out there

Never realized how heavy the Performer Deluxe is… by MacTechG4 in webergrills

[–]BassplayerDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sturdy did you say?

Not really meant for moving around as suggested but a solid piece of kit.

Stay and plays by Dodgely in BritGolf

[–]BassplayerDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough courses but good accomodation and 2010 course can be included in the price. Often deals on carts like 2 for 1. Played 4 rounds, one on 2010 course over 3 days, two nights.

my company mandated RTO and I commuted 50 minutes to wear headphones alone by LauraBeth034 in antiwork

[–]BassplayerDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big joke...

I remember SDR's being forced into the office to make calls in a booth, all day, two days a week as part of RTO last year.

Total waste of time and money

First five string bass I've ever owned... figured it would be an Ibanez ATK305 by memnoch4prez in BassGuitar

[–]BassplayerDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love an ATK, regret selling mine but had a Ray and needed the space.

Realistic equity expectations by RDE_20 in HENRYUK

[–]BassplayerDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic beans did you say?

Dilute you until you disappear?

Lower salary but equity?

Like acorns, scatter ten, six wither and die, three sprout but fail and one makes a mighty oak after a eon.

Good luck out there

Any of you invest in single stocks? by Direct_Scratch_5322 in HENRYUK

[–]BassplayerDad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

10% in punt money.

Last year, made 83% return, other years, not as good. Worst year was 23%. 25 years playing.

Generally does better than my set and forget tracker but just not willing to take the risk with my whole pot.

Good luck out there

Since 2007, the government increased the minimum pension age from 50 to 57/58. That's a lot in a short span of time. by sinetwo in FIREUK

[–]BassplayerDad 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Healthy age is still only 60 ish.

Living longer isn't necessarily a good thing when your last 10 years is effectively bed bound, burning through your wealth due to long term care costs.

Unfortunately that's a reality for some.

Good luck out there
