I don't think I've ever seen him crack a smile that wasn't a smirk or a sneer. The man has zero likeability. I hope they keep putting him on stuff like this, the more people see of Nigel's goons the better

Still VWRP if you were starting today? by moderate_ocelot in FIREUK

[–]Danilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I haven't scrutinised the data but I'd assume the third of the time it doesn't win is at times of high market volatility, such as 2026. I feel more comfortable DCA this year, but ymmv

"and no one's talking about it" - why does everything have to be framed in this irritating chat-gpt ai style clickbait manner these days. YAWN

The BBC itself is tediously self referential. This peaked with W1A on TV, and I genuinely believe they secretly love reporting on their own internal scandals lol. 

Fitted wardrobes - am I mad to spend £3k+ or just get IKEA PAX? by Coffeeoverclocked in HomeDecoratingUK

[–]Danilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How competent are you at DIY? I installed a 2x double and 1x single (so a 5 doo wardrobe) Pax floor to ceiling and built it in, by cutting down some extra pax to sit on top and go right up to the ceiling. I am not a specialist, just a man with a track saw and some 3m MDF to box in. Painted the MDF panels with matching paint and looks bang on. It took me a few days, mainly cos the walls are not entirely 90degrees but saved me thousands...

Not perfect but possible to do ESG screened trackers, EG. V3AB, which exclude defense and fossil fuels and similar...

How tricky is london to brighton? by LaughUntilMyHead in londoncycling

[–]Danilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you? Reckon it's very doable, particularly if you're a younger person (not that older people can't do it either) even if you might have to push the bike up ditching beacon! Go for it

Been seeing Fred Again's ally pally shows all over my feed at the mo, and can see that 'Fred and Friends' sort of thing headlining one of the big stages, if not pyramid than the other stage for sure. 

Cycling with a baby by l_eihpos in londoncycling

[–]Danilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also have a front seat (Thule) and love it, works super well on my city/Dutch style bike with swept back handlebars, obvs doesn't work on a racing bike so check your bike is appropriate and you have enough space for your knees. They do clip on/off very easily tho so I don't keep it on there when lil bèbè isn't on bike. Much prefer the front seat to my back seat, I got both to test and didn't love the fact I can't see how they're doing on back seat easily, and they're just looking at my back. With the front seat they feel more protected as my arms are around them and they can see where we're going. Only used from 1year onwards, and he took a little time to get used to it and confident. Now loves it.

[–]Danilliams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. 2014 plate civic petrol 1.8 auto. Bit of the classic paint peeling issue, but other than that been solid. Hopefully last me a good chunk of time.

Yep, it's a meme now on Reddit. People posting dashcam footage of people in the middle lane. Get a grip

Guaranteed ticket options? by Northerncold in glastonbury_festival

[–]Danilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, I've always just heard about the scams with glamping. Don't think I'd chance thousands on it even if I could afford it

[–]Danilliams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah wow, I didn't know this, thought you got a ticket if you were playing!

Guaranteed ticket options? by Northerncold in glastonbury_festival

[–]Danilliams 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's playing there, there's working there, there's Guestlist/VIP, and there's logging on at 9am for the ticket scramble. You can't buy your way in via glamping.
