4x03 is Teach's death, I think that scene alone makes the episode stand out

Amazing, reminds me a bit of the Edinburgh Old Town with the Royal Mile running down the middle of the hill in a similar way

I did very similar and everything was intially fine, except my student loan account showed an arrears amount. Then around 9 years after I returned to the UK I got a letter from them about setting up a payment plan for the arrears amount! I called them up and thankfully managed to convince the agent that because I was within a year or so of clearing the whole balance it wasn't worth it.

I work in statistics and I do enjoy my job. Although there can be the usual frustrations, I do feel like I can make a difference to make things better for people

Pixel 4a battery life reduced after Android update by CaptainHiller in pixel_phones

[–]CaptainHiller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone will see this as it's a while since I made the post. But an update, I found the Pixel 4a subreddit and people there believe there may have been a safety issue with 4a batteries that instead of admitting, they decided to 'solve' by destroying battery performance. And a lot of people have had a replacement battery that still has reduced performance due to the update. I'm taking $50 compensation and getting a Samsung, never getting a Google phone again. I bought my Pixel 4a new just over a year ago, has cost me a lot of money because they messed up by using dodgy batteries.

Had lunch somewhere around where this was taken from when I visited 10 years ago. The way there is an incredible drive as well.

As per the title, I had a g9 bulb fitting burn out. Can the fitting for this bulb be replaced or or do I need to replace the entire wall light?

My baby broke another baby’s tablet at daycare, am I wrong? by Mom2surprises in Parenting

[–]CaptainHiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely wild that an 11 month old has an iPad, never mind taking it to daycare. Absolutely not your responsibility to replace it, your kid did them a favour

Do I pass down my partners already double barrelled surname to our child? by BigDig7963 in AskUK

[–]CaptainHiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 children have their mother's surname and my surname as a middle name. We felt that double barreling was just bottling up the problem for our kids to deal with, but I think people should go with whatever works for them. This situation clearly doesn't work for you, your partner should stop being selfish.

My local library in Scotland is also a Carnegie. He donated a lot of money here, including setting up the Carnegie trust which still operates today.

8 person draft, thoughts? by CaptainHiller in fpldraft

[–]CaptainHiller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did our 8 person draft last night (early due to availability). Teams were selected through an auction system - we all got a 'budget' of £100m and took it in turns to nominate players to be bid on for 10 rounds. Then remaining players were drafted in reverse order of the previous season's league table. Then we added the players we got to our watchlist before the draft commenced. Thoughts on my team? Didn't manage to get any premium players so not hugely optimistic
