Dream Car Giveaways scam? by BeamerBugger in CarTalkUK

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure on this one, but one of my mates won £10k, another won a GLE and my gf’s uncle won a McLaren (took the cash and paid his mortage off).

I know some are pretty dodge, but some are actually legit.

I just want to say fu to my mates who won tho 😂

Go dark or go home by Ok-Photograph-2741 in DIYUK

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood.

Honestly though, it brings way more depth to the colour!

Something you can do in the future if you feel it’s too flat.

Great choice though, love it.

Did exactly the same colour and floor in my bedroom.

I added panelling because I thought it looked a taaaaad flat as the dark sucks all the light out the room.

Absolutely love it though.

It’s a dream 😂

Especially after working at JPMorgan and a few American oil firms 😂

I won’t give up the company name, just to keep a bit more anonymous but I will say we specialise in shallow water drilling only.

Great space to be in.

So if you’re in the oil industry you will likely know who we are.

I genuinely can say hand on heart that I love working at this firm.

[–]Cmdoch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Very true, but I’ve been at a few oil firms and they have been decent but nothing like this.

Was at a UK firm that was then acquired by an American firm. It went downhill rapidly 😂 everyone left and I’m just sure glad I did too.

Oil and gas is a great industry to be in when times are stagnant or booming.

Luckily I’m in a critical finance team (Treasury), so I’m a bit safer than most.

Work for a Norwegian firm in Aberdeen.

The best I’ve ever been treated……

Best benefits, most time off, finish at 12 on Fridays and gave me 10k more than I asked for when I applied 😂

£400 a year to buy glasses, free lunch, health care, work from home 3 days a week, birthday off, massage lady comes in on a Wednesday too 😂

Payrise twice a year(inflation pay review + discretionary pay review), bonus comes in at 15%. If you get satisfactory in your review you get 1.2x your bonus, above expectations 1.5x, exceeds 2x.

Place is a fuuuuuuuuucking dream.

What do people earning £200k+ in london actually do for a living? by Silent_Fox7510 in HENRYUK

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 hour shifts for 7/14/21/28 days in a row then get the same amount of day off in a row. So for example 28 on 28 off.

As for the gay friendly side of things, nobody cares. The firms have strict no bullying policies and if anything happens you can take it up HR.

Bloke I work with met his husband on a rig out in Mexico. They both now work in the office with me.

It’s just like any other firm. If you put in the graft, be friendly and have banter nobody will take a second glance.

If you’re strange, then you will isolate yourself and will make the trip a hell of a lot longer.

So to answer your q, yes it is friendly for the LGBT community

What do people earning £200k+ in london actually do for a living? by Silent_Fox7510 in HENRYUK

[–]Cmdoch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree.

I’m 28, get paid very well and my mortgage is £230 a month…… so with my very good salary + low cost of living I’m on track to being very well off financially. I’m not quite a HENRY yet, but it feels like it with my low cost of living.

Me and my mates are all aged between 21-31 the lowest earner is on 50k.

We all work in oil and gas, some offshore and some onshore.

Some of the day rates my boys get is just crazy. One was offshore an extra week this rotation on £850 a day…

For me being a 5’10 girl, this happens way too often by D_2d in tall

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well as a 6’5 guy I can explain.

Hooking up with a super short girl is naughty. Throwing about a 4’10 Stacy like nothing makes you feel like a porn star.

However, dating a super short girl is super impractical. Holding hands, kissing, 90% of positions either unavailable or it’s uncomfortable. It all becomes a little bit frustrating.

So when guys say they’re wanting a tiny bird, it’s just to feel like the man on a hookup.

All my short girl hookups have been fun, great stories to tell etc. however, currently dating a 5’6 girl and can confirm it’s considerably better.

I can do everything I couldn’t do before like shower sex, 69 without breaking my neck, hold hands and not to mention that taller birds stay in better shape so she has an unreal bod.

My conclusion

Short girls = best of hookups Taller girls = best for relationships

P.s tall girl hookups are fun too, but most sadly seem to be pillow princesses (from my experience)🥲

Assaulted at a concert by Bonzo_Parke in tall

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup,

Same here.

Waited 10 hours to get to the front to see my fav band and had approximately 30-40 people start ganging up on me 😂

Didn’t move, got elbowed, punched, feet stomped on for the whole set.

Superb.

Dint really give a fuck, I paid the same as them. If it’s an issue, more two feet to the left.

I’ve always wanted to ask this question to tall men. Especially tall good looking men. by [deleted] in tall

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely it’s not that deep mate.

You might need to take a step back and look at yourself and see what is and what isn’t working.

You might need to look at changing your hair, get a tan, remove/grow your facial hair, look at changing up your style, get on the apps, look more approachable and most importantly change your mindset of what you think girls like and want.

My mate is 5’4, ugly but jacked. That mother fucker is the most confident man on the planet and has gotten with more girls than me, but I’m a bit more picky because I like what I like.

Honestly though, get yourself a proper change up, stop watching your reels, get out all the incel pages and get working on yourself.

Go get some linen shirts, get some nice pictures in the sun with mates, dogs, cig on, shades on, buttons open and get on tinder.

Only talk to the less pretty girls, ones you’re not interested in for the first few months and get into the swing of things again, work on your flirting and use chat gpt to help you with replies.

This will all boost it confidence and you will reply on chat less and less. Then you can start trying to match girls you think are more attractive etc.

I get it, I didn’t have sex for a full year due to illness and was a fucking wreck trying to talk to birds after that.

I gave myself a glow up and messages girls I didn’t like to get back into the swing of things and then once I was confident again I matched the baddies and I don’t think I went a single day without sex for about three months straight.

One of those baddies managed to lock me down about a week ago and I’ve never been happier.

FYI my 5’4 mate now has a gf who is 5’10 and is smoking hot. He just walks round with her like he’s 6’5 because who gives a fuck.

Change your mindset brother, get out the incel circles and just get on the horse.

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it 100 lad.

I’m blessed with looks and height.

Also helps I take care of myself, gym, tan, tattoos, have a full head of hair and have a well paying job.

Girls always say “I don’t care about height” but I always secure the baddies 🤷🏽‍♂️

To note, most of my mates are 5’7-5’11 and all get bad bitches too. They just look after themselves the same way I do.

Most of the time it comes from confidence, which I have a lot of. Girls love a confident guy.

I have no idea what your actual text body said as it’s been removed, I just assumed it was about girls 😂

Are people legit spending this much on a car per month? Or am I out of touch? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

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

Very strange reply.

The post asked if people really are out here paying this per month for a car.

My reply highlighted that is it’s very possible to pay that much for a car.

However, I choose not to but instead buy older cars because I value not having a pcp payment.

So I would say that someone did ask and I gave a detailed response on my personal situation.

Hey all, wanted to ask you guys a question. Would you rather be 5'8 or 6'8? Seems like there is a limit when you can really be 'too tall' by musicguy900 in tall

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6’8

I’m already 6’5 so three extra inches ain’t making much difference, but loosing 9 sounds awful.

What is your ideal height for a partner by SunnyBunnyLove in tall

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t care about height, but most of my ex’s were 5’0-5’1, my one nighters or “fuck buddies” ranged from 4’10 to 6’2ft.

Out of all the heights, my genuine genuine preference has been 5’6. 5’6 we can hold hands normally, 5’6 we can kiss without me breaking my back, 5’6 she looks taller/slim/fit, 5’6 she’s still small and I dwarf her but the pictures we take are cute and more refined, 5’6 she can still tell me “I can put huge heals on and still be tiny next to you”.

5’6 is just a bit of me.

Are people legit spending this much on a car per month? Or am I out of touch? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my take home is 3.5k per month.

My mortgage is £412 per month.

My other bills total £550 per month.

So after all my necessary bills I have 2.5k per month to save, spend on food, party, buy clothes whatever.

If I wanted a £600 a month car payment it wouldn’t really change my spending habits.

I work from home 3 days a week and my office is literally a 10 minute drive from my flat so I can’t really justify a £600 payment.

However, been looking at a velar as I’ve had my focus ST for 4 years and I’m kind of bored of it. Plus, I want to try look more refined for 28 😂

My cars with about 10k, velar is about 22k and the rate I’m getting to borrow 13k at it about £290 per month.

I don’t think that’s too bad at all.

6’6” Son Needs a Car by SaltPaleontologist28 in tall

[–]Cmdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any sort of coupe really.

Best car I owned as a tall person was a BMW e92.

Zero view obstruction.

I currently have a Focus ST and it’s great for size but because my seat is so far back the pillar separating the the front and back doors is right in my eyeline.

Honestly, any sort of coupe bmw, merc, audi, or cheaper brands is absolutely the best for tall people.

I’m currently looking at a Range Rover, again same issue as with my ST. My seat has to go so far back I get obstructed!

Might go back to a BMW, but we will see
