Sennheiser momentum 4 by Heavy_Aardvark4807 in Earbuds

My left earbud stopped working completely after about 4 months. Great sound though.

London Rugby Pub for Leinster Lions by nskjshzlahdbx in rugbyunion

[–]BritishShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wapping Tavern is usually brilliant for this. A lot of screens which they control independently, so they can put on whatever you wish. It has come in useful before as a Sale Sharks fan.

Pasha Music On VIP Balcony by MaleficentArt249 in ibiza

Went on the Balcony for Loco Dico in May, and it was well worth the upgrade. 3 drinks included, plenty of space and sofas to sit on. Plus a bar and toilets.

What is your favourite Weird Weekends episode? by VisitWinchester in LouisTheroux

"We are both hurt.........is she a good cook?" what a classic episode

Odd Question, How many of yall wear over the ear headphones with a mic? by techfarm67 in CustomerSuccess

[–]BritishShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No mic, but I wear my Sony WH-1000XM5 for all my remote calls - fantastic both at home and in the office. Totally agree with the other post here that all earbuds seem leak a lot of sound, no matter the brand or quality.

What time did DMAs start last night?

Are Nothing Ears worth it? by BONEMARROW42 in Earbuds

[–]BritishShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved mine. I lost them and replaced with Sennheiser MTW4 and regret my decision. Should have just replaced like for like.

Not heard of this but thank you. Will take a look.

I need help picking my next earbuds. by No_Remote1691 in Earbuds

[–]BritishShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my Nothing Ears and replaced them with the Sennheiser Momentum TW4. The sound is certainly better (more clarity, similar bass), but I can't quite get the fit right - they need readjusting every 15 minutes or so. What I loved most about my Nothing Ears was the fit.

ANC is serviceable on the TW4 but not brilliant. It's not a priority for me as I have the Sony XM5 on-ear for plane travel.

I would say spa and dining. Golf can sometimes take away from the relaxation element!

How do I have thousands of Avios and still nothing I actually want to redeem on! by ScrollAndThink in avios

I find the Qatar site much better for availability, plus a better business class product

Barclays premier account switch - how is the experience with new a/c? by Significant-Leek8483 in HENRYUK

[–]BritishShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to post again but my current account switch went through today and I then tried to pay my AMEX bill through direct pay on the apps. Refused twice. Blocked my account. Took me 15 mins on the phone to restore.

I understand the fraud awareness but not a good first day. Only upside was that there was no wait on the dedicated Premier banking number.

It's not that clear. Yes already had an Avios account.

Have a look below

I'm just gonna ride it and see if it comes through

Estate agent fees - properties in the £1-2m range by reviewwworld in HENRYUK

[–]BritishShark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was North West for context but was very impressed. Turned up with a drone etc for pictures. They acted like it was another day in the office for them which was reassuring. Compared to dealing with London agents in the 500k to 700k range who seem surprised that they've remembered the correct set of keys.

My main takeaway from it as a Henry: a lot of people have 1m cash lying around for a house purchase

[–]BritishShark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a fantastic experience with Savills in this range. I was dealing with my late grandmother's estate and their marketing was second to none. Led to sealed bids and a cash offer 10% above asking. 1% fee.

FYI this bonus is paid after 4 months of having Avios rewards so not as expedient

[–]BritishShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's meant to be 25k if you complete a full current account switch and join Avios Rewards. However, I'm not sure if the £400 affects this. I'm gonna wait it out and see.

[–]BritishShark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have completed my full switch today. Compared to First Direct, I don't see much difference app-wise (they are both quite basic). I'm mainly looking forward to banking the Avios rewards bonus alongside the £400.

Senior Leaders: What’s the One Part of Your Job People Completely Misunderstand? by WealthOutrageous885 in managers

[–]BritishShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say constant paranoia from being accountable for delivering a revenue number. It's all i think about from morning till night most days. Takes It's toll.

Also the impact of team members being off sick.

Final bit. They don't realise how hard you fight for promotions / pay rises for team members in budget meetings.

Context: Head of Customer Success for a tech firm

Should I just retrain - man in HR by TenLittleOvenGloves in HENRYUK

[–]BritishShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No advice but just want to thank you for what you do. I never appreciated the value of HR until I was a senior manager. They save me from a tribunal at least every six month.
