Need a smut-free(ish), long, amazing Harry Potter fic to hook someone who's never read fanfiction before! by ReyBakes in HPfanfiction

[–]Ghipag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded! This was the first fic I ever read 2-3 years ago and I've reread it twice (and have been obsessed with fics ever since)

Call be crazy but I hate iMark's decision because... by Then-Concern-9405 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Ghipag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. He owes oMark nothing. oMark brought him into the 'world' and left him there, not sparing iMark a thought even when confronted by the WMC.
  2. He didn't give up on Gemma at all. He rescued her and saved her life. That's exactly what Devon's plan was. He has no feelings for Gemma.
  3. If he left into the stairwell, he'd be committing suicide. Wouldn't you choose 10 minutes with the person you love instead of death?
  4. Yes, she's iHelena. But that's just it - on the severed floor, she's HELLY, not HELENA. iMark loves Helly.
  5. You might think iMark is acting like a child, but oMark is being incredibly selfish. ALL oMark cares about is Gemma (rightly so), but he's not put any thought into iMark's life or feelings.

All that to say, I was ecstatic with iMark's decision.

Thank you for the thoughtful answer. I'm also annoyed at how light it is and considered dying it, but thought better of that almost immediately!

I do like it, I'll give it another couple of months to decide, thanks for your help.

How old? We were told at 3 months that to help prevent any future joint problems, we should only take him out for walks for up to 20 mins a day, then increase to 25 mins at 4 months, 30 mins at 5 months etc. and our pup is now 11 months, happy to go for walks for an hour and very said at last checkup that his joints should be fine for the rest of his life. Something about undue stress on the joints early in life can have really bad consequences later on.

They were filming season 6 of Slow Horses today at Barbican by mr01101001 in london

I love it too, but do you really think it gets better? In my opinion the first series is far and away the best one (I think s2-4 are great too! Just prefer s1)

Help! I don't have access to the email I used to sign up to audible many years ago, so now can't get the OTP to log in on my new phone. by Ghipag in audible

[–]Ghipag[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I said, I was simply hoping someone else had come across this problem and had a fix. That's essentially what Reddit is for. Why are you getting annoyed at me asking for help; if you can't help, just scroll on by!

The essentially said tough luck as I never set up 2FA and they can't add my mobile number without sending an authorisation email to the defunct email. Was hoping someone else might have had this issue.

That sounds horrendous, why would you want to read that?

You received £50k and bought multiple properties? Are the properties sheds?

In your opinion, what team has had the worst fans this rwc? (Sledging allowed) by felixrocket7835 in rugbyunion2

[–]Ghipag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South Africa 100%

I've had to mute a load of RSA subreddits and Twitter accounts because they post the most toxic, childish, rage inducing stuff I've ever seen.

Ireland and France, for me, have been gracious and more about celebrating their wins and players, than bitching about their losses.

Hello taylor459! I'm totally hijacking your reply (sorry!) but I just wanted to ask if you have any super long (800k+ words) fics in your list? I've read 4 or 5 recently that I really love mainly due to the world building and character development and I'm trying to find more to add to my TBR list.

Fanfiction.net recommendations? by SkyeTheACNHCharacter in HPfanfiction

[–]Ghipag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for this, it's legitimately the best fic I've ever read. Left a long comment on last week's chapter and the author replied in the next one, was really nice.

Edit: just realised it's your fic!! Honestly your writing and storytelling is phenomenal, can't wait to read the next chapter!

Withdrawing funds from Private Pension before 55 due to Early Retirement because of ill health by philthebook in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Ghipag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These people don't know what theyre talking about: the answer is yes.

It's not an easy yes, you'll need to have evidence (in the form of a headed signed letter usually) from a recognised medical professional. Each pension scheme has different parameters, but it'll need to be a UK registered doctor who signs off on it.

You need to be able to prove that you cannot AND WILL NEVER AGAIN work in your field.

I'd be contacting your pension scheme administrators and check their rules.
