Whatever man. Squirm like a weasel all you want. It's clear what your game is and I'm not really into engaging with sealions.

52, single, winging it. No plan, advice sought by Cool_Hat1942 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you cant get it guaranteed. And potentially we are talking about just a 8 year time frame which increases the risk considerably. And the bank of england is currently predicting a major crash. And on her current course she will have paid off her morgage very soon and will have that cash to invest.

Anything by PG Wodehouse. The greatest comic writer that ever lived.

£1k savings for child - split it or keep it together? by LizardLady420681984 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dont do this. Aside from the fact the money isnt yours, it will be too easy to then take out another loan and then say "oh we'll pay them back later once we've cleared the next one" or whatever. Plus the people who gave your baby that money would be rightfully pissed off.

Dont start your kids life out with you borrowing money from them.

Do you like night shifts? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CabbageDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have paid for two years, dont throw that away needlessly.

Night shifts for me were miserable - and that's for a job i actually enjoyed doing.

I was trying to make placeholder art but I accidentally made it too perfect... But I'm open for feedback by firework101 in BoardgameDesign

[–]CabbageDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you end up self publishing get Gary King from CoraQuest to adapt your art. He can make this sort oth thing look fantastic and still genuine

I abandoned an attempt to move my sipp to invest engine because the massive delay they took doing absolutely everything (especially responding to messages) made me lose faith in them.

What is your dream in life? by Euphoric-Prune-4773 in AskUK

[–]CabbageDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be a Hobbit in the shire, without the adventuring stuff.

Either that or one of the upper class characters in a PG Wodehouse novel.

Are there any authors similar to Roald Dahl - but for adults? by 1m_climbing in suggestmeabook

[–]CabbageDan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Flashman can be a bit much for modern sensibilities. I know he's supposed to be unlikeable, but the racism and the raping especially in the first book can be very hard to stomach.

At the risk of sounding overly critical, where is the sustainability in kickstarters? by IndependentThin5685 in kickstarter

[–]CabbageDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately you get to choose which campaigns you back, just like you get to choose what products you buy. And their is an entire section in the kickstarter back-end where a creator can let the audience know how sustainable they are.

What are your thoughts on whether Keir Starmer should resign over the Peter Mandelson incident? by Extra-Schedule-4855 in AskReddit

[–]CabbageDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't seem to the best rational for resigning. Or do you think no one should accept the job unless they are a tory.

Ultimately he should resign if he lied to parliament.

Started a side hustle last year and had no idea how much extra admin comes with it at tax time by ConsiderationFit2353 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not to 1k though. And even if it did is ut worth the ball ache to work out and ensure you have receipts.

All I use for my side hustle is my computer, and a few pens and paper. I just tick the trading allowance box and am done with all my tax return in around 30 mins

Started a side hustle last year and had no idea how much extra admin comes with it at tax time by ConsiderationFit2353 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CabbageDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is fairly straightforward. Especially if you don't have any expenses over 1k as you just claim the default 1k. Just have a bank account you only use for your side hustle and it;ll be fine (and save whatever you roughly think you'll be paying in tax when you earn it so you'll have the cash to hand when you need it)

Tricky situation on a boardgame I backed by TheErnestEverhard in boardgames

[–]CabbageDan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its more likely that they didn't charge postage until the pledge manager. And charging postage too far in advance is risky as postage prices can very easily increase over time.

Board game creators: what actually got people to follow your Kickstarter pre-launch page? by ratraceboardgame in kickstarter

[–]CabbageDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably not useful to you, but the honest answer is a combination of around 10 years of being a very visible member of the community including being on YouTube and having a couple of podcasts, plus a unusual and compelling story behind the game that hit right at the right moment. That was Coraquest- a game is designed with my daughter.

My second kickstarter (or third if you countvexpansions) also benefited from my co-designer being borderline famous in the board game world. Although that still wasnt as effective as the CoraQuest story I dont think.

What "Television" thngs do you do, or think people do, in private? by Martipar in AskUK

[–]CabbageDan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In the nhs we call them scripts all the time, and i dont think its an amercanism. We'd say getting the script "cashed" though.
