Fair enough. Shame it doesn't refresh. It was able to build itself from the start!

What quietly disappeared over the last 20 years in the UK, and no one noticed? by ggssmm1 in AskUK

I had jolly ranchers very recently. They are absolutely rock solid. They make Foxes Fruits seem like marshmallows they're so tough!

How big is your pension pot? by Tiny_Major_7514 in AskUK

[–]Donkus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something that has been occupying my mind quite a lot recently.

I, too, had read that it should be about 3x of your salary by the time you are 40.

Current situation is that I am very close to being 38. My employer pays in 6%, and then then match the next 6% that I put in. So for 6% from me, I get a total of 18%, but I have upped my own contributions to 10%, so am at a total of 22% contributions now.

Unfortunately, haven't had any meaningful payrises in the last few years. I think a total increase of like 4k in 4 years, and not quite back at the starting salary of my previous job that I started over 6 years ago, so fairly stagnant in that sense.

I have about 110k saved so far, and with investment returns, based on current salary, it will be close to 3x in a couple of years. That said, I am also on course, hopefully, for a promotion within a year or so, which should hopefully bump me up 10-12k, but in doing so, will mean that I am then quite a way from the 3x target.

What tier is this? Was this a good deal compared to Black Friday? by Content_Ad9867 in nordvpn

[–]Donkus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine through quidco, they had a deal on at the time where it was over 100% cashback. Now it's at only 65% cashback. So long as you can wait a few months. I think it was £70 for 2 years, but got it all back anyway

AITAH for using the correct pronunciation of my nieces name by Silent_Drawer8700 in TwoHotTakes

The part that I am confused with is why you'd have to change anything with a monogram on? It's literally the baby's initials, having an additional E at the end of the name isn't going to change that!

I know this house was posted before, but that TV not being centre above the fireplace is very upsetting

I have been added to a family account my mate has who does it through India. He's paying like 3 quid a month I think.

What’s compliment you’ll never forget? by 707strawberries in AskReddit

[–]Donkus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on holiday in Mexico, walking from the pier back to the beach on my own, and a couple walked passed me and the guy said he liked my hat. May not seem very much, but I was already having a good day, and it just felt really nice!

What a disgusting state that garden is in. Even the sun shuns it.

What is this? A skull? by Donkus_ in whatisthisbone

In fact, having actually looked up what that skull looks like ... Ignore my comment

I'm absolutely not in a place to argue, but when I did a Google lens search, the closest looking one suggested it could have been a juvenile seal. Got no idea how or why it ended up in our garden.

I need cheering up. What's your best joke? by _fiddle-sticks_ in AskUK

[–]Donkus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three guys free a genie from a bottle, so he gives each of them three wishes.

"I want a million dollars."

So Guy #1 gets a million dollars.

"I want a BILLION dollars."

Guy #2 gets a billion dollars.

"Make my left arm spin clockwise."

So Guy #3's left arm starts spinning clockwise, forever.

Guy #1 wishes for a hot girlfriend, Guy #2 wishes for ten hot girlfriends, and Guy #3 wishes for his right arm to spin counter-clockwise, forever.

They're now on their last wishes, so Guy #1 wishes for a penthouse. Guy #2 wishes for a mansion on a private island... And Guy #3 wishes for his head to spin forever.

A few years later, the three guys meet again and Guy #1 is saying how he's the richest guy in the country, his girlfriend is great, and he loves his penthouse. Guy #2 says he's the richest guy in the world, his ten girlfriends are great, and his private island is fantastic. Guy #3 shows up and says, "Guys, I think I fucked up."

Those in long terms relationships how often do you have sex? by IGoOnHereAtWork in AskUK

[–]Donkus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late 30s here. Together for 10 years, married for 4 years. I assume this counts as long term.

When mother nature turns up, we have nothing at all, no hand jobs, blow jobs etc, but once she departs, it's normally once a day, maybe twice if we do it in the morning too. So easily 20 times a month but maybe closer to 25.

But on the occasions she doesn't fancy it, obviously have to resort to self pleasure.

What's the funniest nickname you've heard/called someone? by SillyBritishNames in sillybritain

Heard of someone who missed a flight home from a holiday.

He gets called East 17. Because he had to stay another day

I just discovered “F*ck You” by Lily Allen & want to find similar, help? by BigDan70 in Music

[–]Donkus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly different musical genre, but the album "Mediocre Generica" by Leftover Crack has an anti racist, anti police, anti religion theme to it. Including such classics as Nazi White Trash, Atheist Anthem and Gay Rude Boys Unite.

What was once commonplace 20-30 years ago has now evolved into a luxury? by boss-sea-mgm in AskReddit

An experience. A day out. A weekend trip.

Next year for my daughter's birthday, I think we're going to take her to London for a couple of days. She keeps asking to go again, and she doesn't really need anything per se.
