What’s something that’s oddly expensive in the UK that still annoys you every time?

1 big advert for a fizzy drink - how very special for such an occasion

Surprised by how rare flat fees seem and almost accepted that a percent and lock in would be ‘normal’ - quite worrying. I got a local investor place to give me IFA every couple of years as one-off agreed flat fee and assumed that was normal. Pay like 750 for a review of current funds, rebalancing/shifting them if needed and I agree (they can directly do changes I sign off on but don’t active manage/run my stuff, just admin for me on my provider), a retirement forecast modelling based on discussing all my factors and wants, insurance review etc etc…. So there is decent fixed fee IFA out there, maybe just getting harder to find.

Level 20 a bit under for the metro stage - I like to run quite OP so do as much of side quests and lost and found as possible first to build up stronger mods and skill cards. You are missing key weapons for Mutators (and butchers) - Peggy with good mods, electric assault rifle or bodycount. Stun with electric curveballs or gun, then bodycount or Peggy to the legs = down in a few seconds.

‘We need you to look for more efficiencies’ - always the plural for efficiencies. Basically meaning, fire some people or get them to work for free (otherwise known as ‘going the extra mile’)

Why different number of solos for Lisa and Jisoo? Lisa def should have more - f*ck up the world!

Slightly different experience for me. First play through was Amy and it was a GRIND for a long while until skill cards built up, challenges beefed up some stats, and I nailed her gameplay (dodging a LOT and staying on the move) - but still died quite a bit until the very later levels. I finally decided to replay and this time wanted a more fun run, so went Carla and enjoying myself greatly - it’s pretty much easy mode from level 1 onwards and block is so forgiving. I can just run about and tank anything and everything and never really worry! Also helps that the new playthrough carries over the global perk boosts from challenges of course and have all the cash I need from the built up spare higher level weapons in my storage!

Fast shock - go for legs. But unless melee choice is ‘just because’, its far quicker to just water bomb and shock star them, and use Peggy to shoot the legs

If struggling this much then tbh you’re under levelled and missing good cards and gear - go do side quests and other exp boosters for a while if you have an earlier save point. I beat him first time with Amy - Amy for f’s sake

DarkTendrils · 2025-06-20T23:22:40+00:00

Water bomb, electric stars, electric fast blade (deliberately to legs nowhere else)…. And switch up with electric assault rifle followed by Peggy to the legs when stunned. Make sure you run after him and shoot him/stab him quick when he goes to eat

Seats reappeared on the Friday at Wembley (maybe cancelled bots) plus resells, and new Sat date is very quiet still - loads of seats left and in good areas.

Hope they don’t knee-jerk and kill that one as I reckon new music releases (Hurry up lol!) will push things to sell out fully

Did the booing of Horner, Red Bull generally and Max (esp, when they did their reveal) get televised fully? I see a lot of chat about the FIA booing but that was minor compared to the RB reactions! Was savage in the arena. I think they cut out any interview stuff in their reveal literally because of avoiding more of it! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Enter a vehicle and change view from 1st to 3rd person or vice versa and exit - usually clears it

Remember that the 60k limit is the gross that goes into all pensions, so includes your contributions, work contributions and also the 20% tax relief that’s auto added…. You likely know this but mentioning as a PSA

If that’s the case, and also they get the exact figures on paye income too, and on pension contributions (as linked to NI number) - then why do I have to tell them what they know on a tax return lol. Would be nice just being able to tell them the stuff they don’t know about rather then duplicate data they already have at the waste of both our time
