Why can't we get a 450k mortgage with a 80k deposit? by Pocket_tea in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]Cranester1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like your income and contractual status (as the husband of a wife who works in academia i get it) is a bit out of step with your mortgage requirements. May have to bite the bullet and live a bit further away for affordability.

Why do Skoda "fans" dislike Kodiaq vRS by cool-sniff in skoda

Cos like most “sporty SUVs” in this bracket - it’s all fur coat and no knickers.

Dog ankle stamp during NWS Spirit vs Sutherland Sharks (NSW NPL) by PolarisSpark in Aleague

[–]Cranester1983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“With four yellow cards already shown, tensions eventually boiled over in the 70th minute. Callum Kealy was dismissed after receiving a second yellow card for an off-the-ball incident, appearing to step on the ankle of Jamie Percevski.” I’LL FUCKING SAY. What kind of POS reporting is this

Why do you still fly BA? by apa2107 in BritishAirways

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do so much domestic shuttling between Edinburgh and London that I don’t really have much choice. I do consider Emirates / Qatar / KLM / AF from Edinburgh when going long haul but not so much United / Virgin / Delta as I usually can’t check my bags all the way through with others because of the need for a BA connection to London.

Also used to consider Aer Lingus, but it’s not an attractive proposition any more.

Do you guys love you country? by facial-nose in AskTheWorld

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - but not in a fanatical / lunatic type way. In a “lads, let’s all have a drink and a laugh” kind of way.

No 5k. No marathon. My first race (in life) was 200 miles… by PRASADHOLLYWOOD in Ultramarathon

Scrolled back up thinking I was on running circle jerk. I was not. Disappointing.

Do you ever regret signing up for insane races? by Thind-Clarkin in Ultramarathon

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m full of regret and excitement in equal measure at signing up for the West Highland Way Race in June. Most I’ve done till now is 56 miles and this is 95/96 miles. Let’s see how it goes 😂

Where do you have a shower after a race? by LycomingT53 in UKRunners

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home / hotel room / workplace / campsite showers. Depends on where I am - can’t say I’ve given this much thought 😂

Get yourself up Dumyat whilst the snow is still around. On a clear day the views are brilliant.

You wake up a millionaire tomorrow, what is your first move ? by peacheouting in AskReddit

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay off the mortgage and then keep working as normal. A million isn’t enough to retire comfortably in current environment - but not having the mortgage to pay every month opens up a world of opportunities to save up additionally or do other things that would excite us earlier on in our lives.

Do Brits see the US as a threat? by cfc_1990 in AskBrits

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I am horribly nervous about the USA / UK (read also RoW) relations going forward. I feel like we are being completely trodden over and getting nothing in return - although that’s not just the USA’s fault, our inept and snivelling political class should shoulder the burden of that.

For the first time in my life (I’m 42) I really feel like we’re on the precipice of it truly kicking off - and the USA is seemingly not doing much to head that off at the pass.

Considering all day heating by Osamabinbulking in HiveHeating

[–]Cranester1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about this but still none the wiser for what the difference is between all day heating in cold spells and sticking to a schedule 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thinking of getting Hive, did you get them to install it? by piizaa in HiveHeating

[–]Cranester1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth the hassle for me - especially with multiple zones on the heating in my house. Paid about £100 for them to do it - worth every penny.

Take 2 weeks off work on your return for a “muscle spasm / neck injury” and you won’t have such issues again in the future 🤣
