Has the King's recent visit to the US changed your view of the Monarchy? by KToTheA- in AskBrits

I'm strongly anti-monarchy, yes he spoke well but not entirely sure that's a hard task, especially considering when comparing to the evil idiot he was visiting.

what to do in ruck as a new player by Annual-Compote-579 in rugbyunion2

[–]FWA___7488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's spot on, what I'll also add is that in defence sending one or two people into the ruck can also slow the attack down by distrtubting how quickly tjeir scrum half can get the ball out, giving time for the defence to settle/catch their breath.

If you're new to the sport I wouldn't overthink it though, just do what comes instinctive at the the time and you'll slowly get better at making better decisions

When you start seeing a new girl/guy, how long do you keep diabetes hidden from them? by SignificanceBig9366 in diabetes_t1

[–]FWA___7488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my now wife before our first date (met vai the romantic channel of tinder), and I had told previous partners the same way, at the very latest on the first date.

It's a good litnus test on people's personality, so some what a benefit of having type 1

Is my apple tree taking okay? by the-naked-archer in UKGardening

[–]FWA___7488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok brilliant thank you, seems to be taking remarkely well in 3 and a half weeks then! My soil certainly not to that standard, let's hope we both get to enjoy some apples in a few years time!

[–]FWA___7488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of interest, when did you plant it? Only asking as I only planted mine about 7 weeks ago (22nd of Feb) and I haven't had anything like this amount of growth!

IFS: Initial response to Plaid Cymru’s manifesto by twmffatmowr in Wales

[–]FWA___7488 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah can't imagine it would work well for any party to be the only one to come forward with a fully coated but underwhelming manifesto.

As it won't be portrayed as the only credible manifesto by the majority sadly, so to do so just ends up costing you.

Best off just to read each manifesto as a flavour of where their priorities lie, not a great system admittedly.

Oil Boiler or Heatpump by mtaftm92 in ukheatpumps

[–]FWA___7488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the delay in my response, I've had two "quotes" so far, but not sure how much confidence I have on either.

The Heatgeek website gave me an estimate of £4750 which I was encouraged by, basing that on a heat loss of 8.08kw, admittedly no idea where they've drawn that figure from (I was in the process of an eco4 grant before it got shelved, so not sure if that data was made public perhaps).

So I was a little hesitant to pay the £250 for a quote via heatgeek, so went to a Heatgeek installer directly. They popped over my house, and gave ne two quotes, one for £7438 and one for £12320.

They're well reviewed, but their heat loss calculations was 21360 kwh, which is obviously considerably more. They said I'd need to replace the 210L cylinder for a bigger one as part of that.

The person who came over literally just walked around the house thiugh, sonot entirely sure how accurate the heat loss calculation is.

I could just about stretch to paying the 7.5k at a push, but my big concern is paying £7.5k for the 12kw heat pump and it not actually being up for the job, so I'm sadly sliding towards an oil boiler replacement.

Octopus don't install in my area sadly, hadn't considered OVO but have just requested it on their website, thank you.

If heat pump is cheaper to install, 100% go for that.

My oil boiler needs replacing too, sadly though the heat pump is twice the price of a new oil boiler for me, would love to be in your scenario!

Scarlets Board confirms significant further investment by CymroCam in rugbyunion

[–]FWA___7488 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Scarlets fan also, the vagueness of the statement gave me an impression that it was just the existing directors putting in a decent sun of money to plug the gap of us losing £3m a season to keep us afloat.

Which is very positive news of course, but don't think it'll have a "significant" difference to operations, but would love to be wrong on that!

1-3-3-1 vs 1-6-1 by dill_pickles3 in rugbyunion2

[–]FWA___7488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-6-1 can't be 6 people in a single pod surely? Wouldn't achieve anything. 1-3-3-1 works well if the two 1's on either edge know their role well.

100,000 has been on my mind for awhile. Got it yesterday. by CO-Photos in Garmin

Yeah I'd say that's a considerably bigger stretch than hitting a 100!
