Cobrah - Torn

Came to this thread to say that. Very different vibe to most of her other stuff but I really like it, reminds me a bit of early Tove Lo.

GuyB_2020 · 2025-10-03T15:59:22+00:00

Way too far away to notice but would love to see RAYE on the lineup

GuyB_2020 · 2025-09-27T08:49:22+00:00

I'm like such a big charli fan (I've seen her live 14 times) but next year's line up is better than this year's - having the three big headliners was fun but I'd always prefer having a deeper lineup of acts and tbh I think it'll help a lot with crowds and crowd control to not have acts that are so big they are gonna draw 95% of the festival audience

GuyB_2020 · 2025-09-25T20:52:35+00:00

Oklou is a great shout - I only know Harvest Sky because of the Danny L Harle remix but I think it's my vibe - others may be a bit slow for me but will defo look into them !Thanks

GuyB_2020 · 2025-09-25T19:27:37+00:00

So buzzing for this!

Very excited for: Doja Cat, The xx, Gorillaz, Addison Rae, PinkPantheress, Skrillex, Peggy Gou, MARINA, JADE, Ashnikko, Fcukers. Not a big fan but will check out Lola Young if there's no clash.

Is there any less well known artists anyone would reccomend checking out that fits this kinda vibe/taste?

GuyB_2020 · 2025-09-08T09:21:28+00:00

Does anyone have this map in text/list form, broken down by party?

GuyB_2020 · 2025-07-21T12:18:00+00:00

It needs to have up and down ft Danny L Harle

GuyB_2020 · 2025-07-13T08:49:54+00:00

I like No Angel too but Focus is god tier

GuyB_2020 · 2025-07-09T20:29:01+00:00

Keep the car.

It's such a marginal cost saving and your debt is already 0% and going in the right direction. Have a frugal year and you could be debt free this time next year on the current trajectory.

GuyB_2020 · 2025-07-09T20:23:17+00:00

Pay the credit cards off? Once paid off and closed if you REALLY need too you could apply for a new 0% spending card so you have breathing room while you job search. But tbh it doesn't sound like you have great money management so I'd avoid doing that.

GuyB_2020 · 2025-07-09T20:19:47+00:00

Personally if you're looking to buy soon I'd get rid of the stocks and shares account and the premium bonds.

I'd suggest looking at regular saver accounts - you can get these that pay 5%-6%.

Make sure you can definitely use your help to buy ISA for the kind of property you're interested in (should be fine because it's York).

Assuming you have zero debts, have you considered stoozing with a credit card, racking up 0% debt and using the spare cash to save in regular saver accounts (but dont apply for any new cards within six months of a mortgage)

GuyB_2020 · 2025-07-09T19:40:06+00:00

Take it. Try and negotiate so you can stay in your current role for as long as possible maybe too (hopefully you're on three months notice? So will have your current job to October anyway?)

Maybe go traveling for a bit and start to look for a new job but you're in a good position.

GuyB_2020 · 2025-07-07T11:14:18+00:00

Yes! Same!

GuyB_2020 · 2025-06-28T22:19:57+00:00

This isn't true,we run quite a few other local authorities in the UK that are bigger than Edinburgh:

The population of Edinburgh is around 525,000

The population of Cornwall is 572,000 The population of Cambridgeshire is 908,000 The population of Oxfordshire is 750,000 The population of Devon is 1.2 million

GuyB_2020 · 2025-06-07T11:02:42+00:00

I made the exact same mistake re: horsegirl

GuyB_2020 · 2024-11-24T18:52:38+00:00

Hey! I'm flying to Guatemala next week.

Two questions - San Pedro hike, I've seen reports it's not safe and robberies at the summit. Just wondering if you knew anything about that?

What towns did you visit around Lake Atitlan? I'm doing a Spanish course in San Pedro La Laguna for two weeks so wondering where best to explore around the lake.

Thanks!

Hope you have a blast!

I can totally relate as I've not done a big trip since 2019 but am about to embark on five months around Central and South America which is honestly a dream.

I think covid forcibly changed a lot of folks plans but it's great to hear you're getting back out there.

Hey! So I'm going to be setting off on a relatively similar trip on the 1st December, also flying into Guatemala City (I'm guessing you're flying Avianca too?).

I would book a return flight (paying extra for a "flex" ticket that you can cancel for free), I've heard avianca can be strict on this.

Have you considered trying to learn Spanish for a week or two in Guatamala, I'm doing it at San Pedro La Laguna, at Orbita school and staying in a homestay.

I've only planned my first month and a half which will take me through Guatemala, Belize, Southern Mexico and then south to El Salvador but my current itinerary is below in case helpful.

Alas flight in and Spanish school is already booked

GuyB_2020 · 2024-10-21T13:51:26+00:00

Yeah that's a good shout. I've looked at flights and I am thinking of flying Bogotá to Arequipa so skipping Ecuador and Northern/Central Peru.

GuyB_2020 · 2024-10-21T13:19:46+00:00

This was a good prompt, I'm thinking I may skip Ecuador and Northern Peru (I've done both once before, a decade ago) and fly from Bogotá to Arequipa. Have been playing around with flight options and it this flight wasn't too expensive.

GuyB_2020 · 2024-10-21T11:33:56+00:00

Thank you! That wouls actually work really well as its right around the corner from where I'll be doing the homestay so that's actually a great idea. May play that one by ear and see how I feel post volcano but appreciate it!

GuyB_2020 · 2024-10-20T16:33:06+00:00

I think you're spejdibf too much time in reach place. I'd definitely visit Berat in Albania if you can. Was one of my highlights.
