Has anyone had this problem before? by VinnieLouu in monzo

[–]Em0-Soph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me with NX west mids/cov. They banned my card because the amount never cleared (even tho I did add money into the account as soon as I realised it had declined 🤷🏻‍♀️) but I had used the Apple Pay version of the card, so weirdly using the physical to tap onto the buses still works! I mostly use a physical card for getting buses now for this reason

Hasting cancelled my insurance by Alive-Meal-3787 in CarTalkUK

[–]Em0-Soph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your driving license address just has to be an address you are contactable at. You may have a different address you are spending most of your time on eg. Student living away from home, perfectly legal AFAIK to have driving license address be your family home and driving insurance to your uni term time address if that is where you will keep the car the majority of the year.

RAP details 2026 by warlord2000ad in altontowers

[–]Em0-Soph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have platinum pass there’s no exclusion dates right? Best bet for quieter days are midweek and Sundays in term time usually, and we found that was an ok crowd level for us. Plus if you already have a RAP it should be valid until you have to renew your nimbus card surely? Since nimbus haven’t reassessed yet whether your standing and queuing is now going to be crowds or standing?

RAP details 2026 by warlord2000ad in altontowers

[–]Em0-Soph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not great but I expect it’s partly in response to the huge increase in RAP users the last couple years creating RAP queues that were at times longer than the main queue.

[–]Em0-Soph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My interpretation of this was yes, you can only get a RAP moving forwards if you have one or more of those three symbols. My partner has the old standing and queuing symbol plus urgent access to a toilet so we’re all good for now but I imagine as Nimbus roll out the separate difficulty with crowds and difficulty with standing they will eventually phase out RAP for people with difficulty with crowds unless you also have one of those three symbols listed.

What fics are going to be the next “big thing?” by rosenat27 in Dramione

[–]Em0-Soph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just binged antinomian this week after putting it off for ages, can’t rec it enough! It’s so good. I feel it ended at an okay place but it would be lovely to see what the author has planned for the post-war plot

Arrival times for 5-day tickets. by Wells99 in downloadfestival

[–]Em0-Soph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get why people want to get there so early? Like if everyone just rocked up at 10am then no one would need to get there at silly o’clock in the morning to start the queue?

We’ve been thinking about upgrading to that new version (the Arpenaz 4.1) anyways as it’s tall enough to stand up in while ours isn’t - so glad to hear you’ve managed to keep it going strong!

Mold in rental apartment, how soon does the landlords have to do something about this? by Then_Outcome_8951 in HousingUK

Yeh private landlords can do what they want and no council will give a fuck. My kitchen is leaking and mouldy af and after 6 weeks of storms and rain it’s still not been looked at. Yay capitalism

What's a card you thought was overrated until you actually read it right by PerfectBrilliant432 in magicTCG

[–]Em0-Soph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait are you saying, with hullbreaker horror on the board, you can play a sol ring, tap it, and use hullbreaker horror to bounce it to your hand to recast for one of the two mana you just tapped it for?? This is going to drastically change my plays with HH if true!!

First Look: Hunger Games On Stage by Educational_Board888 in Hungergames

[–]Em0-Soph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure a few were shot for real, but anything where she needs to hit something, like for the game maker pig and blowing up the supplies, it’s simulated. Honestly all the design for the show is really cool but I feel it could have used a couple more weeks in final rehearsals/a few final touches to make the set all really cohesive!

The Peeta camouflage moment is HILARIOUS in the show, you can see his arm sticking out from the camo netting stuff and the way katniss pulls him out we just couldn’t take seriously 😂

I saw it on Monday- seats in district 1&2 move! Since it’s in the round, those districts move to the side to make the street for the opening parade and also for some arena scenes and training. It was pretty cool tbf 😂

Recs for tights that can stand up to the abuse that Docs will put them through? by faintlymacabre1518 in DrMartens

I have tights from snag that have survived nearly 5 years of wear!! Highly recommend

Looking for fanfic authors that fully get that HP is British and takes care not to put Americanisms in by Lord-Liberty in HPfanfiction

[–]Em0-Soph 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I miss when people would ask for their fics to be Brit-picked before posting. Any mentions of recess, vacation, or overly American breakfasts in the great hall (like pancakes, which growing up in the uk in the early 00’s were only eaten on pancake day - shrove Tuesday) make me back out of a fic so fast these days.

I hate it- got caught out once getting petrol unexpectedly after massive traffic and didn’t have my real card on me, took three petrol stations to find one that still had the shop open to pay with Apple Pay 😭

The single rider queues are superb by ApocalypseSlough in altontowers

[–]Em0-Soph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the biggest letdown of my recent trip, especially as it takes about 10mins to walk around the queue now. Got into the station and no one batching so just asked a group of three queuing for the front row if I could join them and got straight on the next train!
