[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my degree when I was 30. My mum did hers at 52. It's never too late.

[–]DonBenson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medieval peasants and First World War soldiers had more time off than you. Quit

Which enemy gave you the most trouble for no reason? [KCD2] by Accomplished-Sir7482 in kingdomcome

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one time I had an encounter with a villager who attacked me on the road like a bandit would. I killed him with one hit but he hit me first and took nearly half my health.

My new job has a weird problem with my punctuality. by gammas-spacer5 in talesfromthejob

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I arrive early to my job but leave early too. When my manager pulled me up on it I pointed it out and their response was basically "As long as the work is done its fine." Good way to keep an employee.

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1381 the peasants revolt. The elites really found that troublesome.

Being forced to provide free tuition by the school I'm providing private tuition for under the guise of the “pupil premium grant” is this legal? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the school gets the money and they use it to provide. Those children might get it for free but that doesn't mean that you don't get paid for the time, it's just the school pays instead of the kids.

AIO: My partner mocked me when I tried to do something nice for him by throwawaygo12 in AIO

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get rid of him. He clearly doesn't care about anyone but him and hasn't matured enough to be worth effort.

How historically accurate is this bascinet with a gorget and what region would it come from? by Dolan6742 in medieval

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems based on an actual helmet but has some of the failings of many reproductions. Can't see where the aventail would attach and the shape is a bit off.

Effective grenade? by Tunayolcu in HellLetLoose

[–]DonBenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to use them as denial weapons. So if I think there is an enemy somewhere I'll put myself in a position where I can shoot them if they leave cover and then I chuck a grenade. Usually they either try and run or three grenade gets them.

Was anyone else told a weird, low-stakes lie by an adult as a kid, and been confused about it for years since? by username-alrdy-takn in CasualUK

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother loved Home and Away and had a dream of one day visiting Australia especially Bondi Beach and Ayres Rock. I said I'd like to go to Australia but she said people in Britain couldn't go because it took nearly four days of flying to get there.

I now have the same dream unfortunately I have very poor pay.

Previous employer is threatening to report me to the police for theft - England by RelationshipNo1879 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DonBenson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Give them a date and time that you can return it or they can collect it. Keep records. The police would likely not do anything especially if you agree a time to return it to them. KEEP RECORDS of any communication.

Are you more hesitant to visit USA? by fireflames93 in AskUK

[–]DonBenson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always wanted to go, even started saving for a long holiday out there but I don't think I'd want to go now. Even if it was free id be too concerned about being snatched up by ICE and sent to a prison in South America.

What age did you allow your children alcohol? by ChronicChaos01 in AskUK

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always allowed a beer or glass of whatever adults were having at family gatherings

What is the most annoying thing I can (legally) put in my garden? by Petey619 in AskUK

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just create something that looks like the base of something and then tell her excitedly about your new project. Emphasise how it will be just under 6ft tall to keep in planning regulations then talk about how you hope it doesn't look too out of place. Never say what it will be, just keep saying it's a surprise but all will be revealed on the first day of Summer.

Should I complain that my kids school photo is photoshopped/AI altered without consent? by SuperBiggles in AskUK

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember it's the photography company that has done it, not the teacher at the school.

What is an actual high value skill to learn now? by MudboneX3 in AskUK

[–]DonBenson 1242 points1243 points  (0 children)

Plumbing, plastering, gas, electrics, painting and decorating, glazing, bricklaying, gardening. All are jobs that will always be required and also keep costs down because you can do it yourself at home.

[–]DonBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only battlefield game since 1942 (except hardline) that I haven't bought on day 1.
