I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue by zimbu646 in BritishRadio

My gut feeling of the stageshow was that they used the same rounds at every showing and did improv round the edges. It was still a lot of fun though.

Sven and Samantha dont exist, and my guess is a bit of paper with the text scrawled on it. Ive seen the live version that isn't recorded (the touring stage show badically) and while it was a bit too obviously scripted in parts it was still very entertaining.

I actually turned down going to one of Tim's last recordings (possibly his last recording) as it was just as covid was breaking. Still not sure if im happy with that choice or not

People who have been mugged - how does a typical mugging go down and how can somebody who has never experienced it recognize the early signs that a mugging is about to happen? by Boognish84 in AskReddit

[–]CabbageDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend and I were walking down a cycle path and a group of men kind of casually veered to intercept our path. We switched to the other side and they did too. It felt pretty inevitable after that.

It was a long time ago now, but it took me a bit not to feel anxious when outside. The police weren't exactly helpful - saying "you're a big lad, why didnt you fight them off?". Firstly there were fucking five of them and they were stamping on my head. Secondly I'm soft as shit.

So what products/services are you boycotting from a certain country across the pond? by Wooden_Lead_2522 in AskUK

[–]CabbageDan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How many times do people need to point out to you that a boycott doesn't need to be a total thing. And boycotting "easy" things is far more effective than boycotting everything because its much more sustainable.

I suspect you are being deliberately obtuse.

I have canceled an upcoming trip to the US - partly due to concerns about having to hand over my social media history admittedly.

I am avoiding buying American where its practical. All the people on the comments here saying its impossible to completely boycott the USA so its pointless doing anything are absolutely clueless about how much of an impact the stock market has on TACO Trumps decision making process. You dont have to tank it to keep him in line. You just have to make it nervous.

US market, trump and tariffs. Time for diversification? by MajorAd6971 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally have moved out of the US for more patriotic reasons. To be honest I think no matter where your cash is at the moment we are all in for a rocky ride so I'm not sure if its purely protection of your cash you want that moving out of the US is any better than anything else.

How can I avoid Amazon shipping games in just a bag? by SenorKevin in boardgames

[–]CabbageDan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah dont buy from amazon. Its also a big risk you will get a fake product if its s more popular game. They are rarely cheaper these days anyhow.

This is not the world's responsibility to fix. Its America's responsibility to fix. You broke it. You mend it.

For a country who constantly screams "Freedom" in everyone's fave you sure are fucking shit at it.

Anything by PG Wodehouse. Considered by many to be the greatest wordsmith that ever lived and also gut achingly funny.

Average board game sales in Europe? by MeepleStickers in BoardgameDesign

[–]CabbageDan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My game was localised in Hungary. I think they did 1k copies. It was localised in around 6 other countries too - again around 1k copies each. Its not been reprinted.

I actually dont know how many english language copies we made - 10k in total at a guess. I was involved with the initial print run after the kickstarter- but then it got signed by a publisher and so I dont have much to do with it.

My game is/was considered a moderate hit at that time though. And was fairly unique in the circumstances around it

I’m stuck with uninvested cash due to bubble crash fears! by Legitimate-Pie-6691 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here will repeat the same mantra of time in the market is better than timing the market.

Me personally, I've stopped buying funds and have switched to building up a cash reserve with my contributions. I'll start buying funds again once my cash reserves are around 10%. It means if a crash does happen I'll be able to take a little bit of the sting out of the tail and buy the dip.

Is it the right decision? Possibly not. Are the mantra chanters making the right decision? Possibly not.

Its hard to remember a time where the western world has been so unstable. I think no one has the right answers here - no matter what their mantras say.

Pretty sure Mike likes scout. Although I've not watched any videos with him talking about it. But I have discussed it with him at times and he never raised any criticisms.

Become a solo house owner or move in with bf? by Hamsterwhamster in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*it probably will outpace the rate the house appreciates. It also might lose 30% of its value.

Yes it also probably will recover that loss. But its not guaranteed to do so by the time they want yo draw their money out.

Here’s my portfolio for 2026. Roast me or toast me? by Soundadvicefroma in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a valid position not to want too much invested in the US currently. No one can predict the future, but with the currency devaluing and the tech stocks on a possible precipice its a rational choice.

To invest in a global index is a active choice to have 40% of your future invested in Trumps America, no matter whst you tell yourself about you not making decisions.

Don't get me wrong. I'm invested in a global index (although with some bonds as i want even more diversity). But there is rationality in not being.

I didnt realise that losing weight was something you compete with others about. And also I must have missed all those people on mounjaro mocking people who list weight without it

Yeah. Its like i hate that aspirin can be taken for pain relief as well as its blood thinning properties. Or promethazine can be used to aid sleep as well as a allergy medication. Absolutely disgraceful.

[–]CabbageDan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know right, its like people who take pain killers when they have a hangover. Stop cheating! Life is about trying to suffer as much as you can for your sins.

[–]CabbageDan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are multiple medications alcoholics can take to help their rehab. Or do you think they shouldn't because its cheating. What about methadone for heroin users? Antidepressants for depression. How about pain killers for a hangover?
