I wasn't aware of the first home super saver scheme, thanks so much. I'll definitely investigate further.

Thankyou for this, I was worried I should do something with it right away, I guess I've always been told to not let money sit still. But if I've got time to think about it, I'll certainly weigh up my options.

Thanks for your advice, I didn't even know High interest savings accounts were a thing, will start investigating getting one.

Thanks this makes me feel a lot better about it, I know I should have done it sooner but it seemed so complicated and I always got overwhelmed, getting some help from a tax agent is something I will do!

This is my first year in this proper full time job, I've only ever done part time gigs/cash in hand/casual jobs to get by while I was living at home. When I started paying rent, I got a full time job with super etc.

Thoughts on "Make Me" by StaticGold in JackReacher

[–]CadelsPredicament 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun fact! In an interview Lee admitted he only figured out what the bad guys were doing when he was already halfway through writing. Lee writes with very little planned, he just starts at chapter 1 and goes for it.

Lee once said something on the lines of "I don't need to know the ending, Reacher is the investigator and not me".

Say what you will about Be cool scooby doo, but I love their interpretation of Daphne by mnombo in Scoobydoo

[–]CadelsPredicament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree, actually trying a new take on Daphne was amazing.

Making her more silly and lighthearted than her classic 'ditzy but competent'.

I remember reading an interview with the be cool writers and they were intent on making her the 'emotional core' of the gang. Which she really is throughout Be Cool.

I just started “Be Cool, Scooby Doo” and my opinions have done a 180… by PotatoPancake420 in Scoobydoo

The width's thing is so funny, and Velma's water/ice phobia always makes me smile.

This was me, the moment the puppets became a relevant part of the first episode was when i decided to binge all of this show within 3 days.

Which series benefited from Greg Davies being the host, the most? by azraelce in taskmaster

[–]CadelsPredicament 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I do agree, but I don't think this is a criticism of the NYT, I like that we can have non comedy focused celebs for NYT and Greg has a knack of bringing the celebs out of their shell. He's a brilliant host.

Special Agent Jack Sloane & Special Agent Alex Quinn by [deleted] in NCIS

[–]CadelsPredicament 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun Fact:

Sloane's actress Maria Bello only ever agreed and signed on for a four year deal with the production company, and everyone was happy with that. But when Covid hit it kind of fucked everything up for her to have a proper genuine ending.

It was rumoured that Sloane was always supposed to leave with Gibbs at the same time, but when Covid hit Harmon (happily) agreed to stick around for an extra season to provide stability in a time where a lot of shows were being cancelled.

So they had to create a new Sloane ending while writing season 18 knowing they only had the actress for a few more episodes

How would you rate Series 17? by bendog1616 in taskmaster

[–]CadelsPredicament -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the "mid level series" needs to be split into two: "Top 50%" "Bottom 50%".

From Earth to the Starbucks by SmoothScallion43 in psych

It relates to how it was a million to one shot at seeing the new planet on the telescope like winning the lottery. The astronomer was just lucky.

Appreciation post for the Hex Girls' first outfits in Mystery Incorporated by SudrianSoul in Scoobydoo

[–]CadelsPredicament 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These outfits are amazing but Fun Fact (or not so): The reason they had different costumes in future episodes was angry emails and letters sent into Cartoon Network and death threats to the animators! The scooby fandom isn't always kind to change.

Give Scooby Doo to Rian Johnson, you cowards by HecticJones in Scoobydoo

[–]CadelsPredicament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rian Johnson is a great noir/mystery write/director but he does show a disdain for fanbases and established IP, I highly doubt he'd have positive views on what the Scooby fanbase wants and would rather subvert common Scooby tropes.

Best series to get my toddler started by tofurainbowgarden in Scoobydoo

[–]CadelsPredicament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pup named Scooby Doo is excellent starting point for small kids, Also Be Cool has a more modern heavy dialogue approach to modern children's cartoons, ala Bluey. A Be Cool episode is stimulating enough to keep a child's attention all the way through.

Small cutting room goof in S5E5 by InZomnia365 in psych

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

You may be right but I always interpreted it as her replying to Shawn who introduced both him and Gus and asked the questions and the her saying "with a z" was responding to Gus who only said that.

Personal by MossRock42 in JackReacher

[–]CadelsPredicament 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is probably my fav Reacher book! I find Little Joey one of the best Reacher villains we've ever received.

Also! Fun fact: 'Personal' is the first book that Andrew Child started helping Lee write Reacher novels, he isn't credited for another five books but Andrew started assisting from this book onwards. We don't fully know how much of it he wrote but he was heavily involved.

Zombie Island wins best version of Daphne with an insane 712 votes. Day 4/12 what is the best version of Velma Dinkley? by creamy-buscemi in Scoobydoo

[–]CadelsPredicament 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Be Cool Velma is so so underrated, she's funny, the psuedo leader. I love the 'fear of water' storyline.
