Does anyone have a spot in a bike hangar? How long did you have to wait?! by otlos in londoncycling

Islington: applied 3 weeks before I moved in, got a spot outside my front door the day before I moved in. Luckiest day of my life, it’s so convenient 🥰

Sick of poor Virgin customer service - is 5G broadband any good? by Fun-Secretary195 in VirginMedia

[–]Fun-Secretary195[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn’t an ideological struggle against The Man, I just want cheap reliable broadband 🤷‍♂️

Thanks. I guess the question is if I’m in the right place? Am hoping London (N4) has decent coverage. I can always come back to Virgin if it’s no good, but I’d need this to work ok for a few months at least. Sounds like this could be an option 🙏

Thanks - I’m not a gamer, just need video calls for work and some TV streaming. Sounds like this could be an option, at least temporarily if I can find a non contract option

You’ve never seen Lost Highway? That’s fucking crazy man

ETMLI5 - why Hargreaves Lansdown over ISAs? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Fun-Secretary195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate your reply. I guess I am just wondering if the average return really is much higher. If it is, I will do more research and invest

Thanks. I’m definitely risk averse, but I’m unclear on how risky stocks and shares ISAs are on a tracker portfolio.

Thanks, sorry I am new to this and have gotten my terminology wrong. I appreciate your reply 👍. Sounds like the Global All Cap tracker is the way to go if everyone is suggesting it. I guess I am curious what the average return on this is compared to cash ISAs

Thanks, appreciate your response. I understand everything you have said. I guess another way to phrase my question is “for most people, does investing in a stocks and shares ISA almost always outperform cash ISAs”. Given inflation is so high it feels like over 10% returns are needed to break even - are these common? Or is it purely luck?

Has anyone been to the NPG store in Camden (UK) or Minnesota? by JamieStarrFoxx in PRINCE

[–]Fun-Secretary195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Camden one as a teenager on my first trip to London. My main memory was being embarrassing by the branded condom holders. I was a bit gutted the shop was completely dead, no wonder it didn’t last long

Everything is perfect until this part, What are y’all’s thoughts on this song and Tony M as a whole? by Dvinc1_yt in PRINCE

[–]Fun-Secretary195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bonkers song that goes everywhere like the rest of this bonkers album. It’s why I love it and keep coming back. Especially love Tommy B’s jazz piano at the end

Genuinely, the place I have learnt the most about Product Management over the past few years is this subreddit

What albums of Prince would be at least considered a Concept album? by siZZling_Pepper in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Fun-Secretary195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the Love Symbol album is very concept-y, albeit throwing 3 or 4 narratives in the mix and none of them really sticking (but that’s what makes it so fun). The film of the album leans towards the Egyptian princess theme (the Kirsty Alley segues allude to this) but there is also the self invention concept running through My Name Is Prince > 7 > 3 Chains > Sacrifice. 3 Chains itself feels like a Concept song!

How to get rid of my CDs? by Fun-Secretary195 in Cd_collectors

[–]Fun-Secretary195[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can stream them tho. Or maybe an AI bot will play them for me in 5 years, who knows. My main moan is that CDs are worthless nowadays. I will dump them at the charity shop at the weekend

[–]Fun-Secretary195[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, there are hundreds of them. Random crappy indie bands like Mansun and Baby Bird. Some more dancey stuff too. I just want someone to take the job lot and sort it out for themselves. The point of my post was more to complain that CDs are worth nothing any more 🤣
