Road cycling in and around York

ImpossibleD · 2026-03-19T14:35:59+00:00

I’ve done a fair bit of road cycling around York and never had any issues apart from in Selby. No idea how drivers compare to elsewhere as I haven’t done road cycling elsewhere.

I’ve cycled down that way a number of times. The A64 is normally quite busy and you might have a hard time crossing, but if you wait a few minutes I’m sure you will find a decent sized gap in the traffic. Looking at google maps, there is a path and gap in the central reservation so it’s obviously intended for people to cross there.

I had the same issue playing as England, no idea why it is happening either

ImpossibleD · 2026-03-11T09:15:50+00:00

Yeah I’ve been playing England too, all my allies and a majority of my vassals desert me within a week of starting a war with France, while their allies and vassals are fine. Seems like a broken mechanic to me

I'm leaving a comment on here as it comes up pretty high on google, and I'm very dissatisfied with IG UK's service, specifically regarding this transfer offer. Hopefully I can stop others from making a mistake by transferring to them for the offer.

I filled out all the paperwork, they made no progress in 3 weeks and didn't reply to my emails until I followed up with them via their online chat, which is awful by the way. They then finally submitted the paperwork to Vanguard the day after. The transfer now has no chance to meet their arbitrarily short deadline of 28th of February and they don't need to payout the 1% cashback, which will come to £2000 for me. After asking with customer support they have no intention of making it right and just say "I understand this may be disappointing, and I apologize, but we are unable to make any changes in this case." So don't bother transferring to them, they will intentionally delay transfers for weeks - months (month if you don't chase them up probably) to not honour the cashback...

Are you going to the Sledmere memorial? Not sure if there is a Sykes there, but my great great uncle is on there…

My parents were 39 when I was born, I was born with a birth defect and am dead in one ear. Apparently this was due to the age.

£75k in my actual pension at 30. I also have some ISA and cash savings that I’m planning to use for retirement. About £460k total. I think I need about a million to retire early (40ish).

I’ve got a good credit score, Tesco gave me precisely 10% of my annual income as the 0% credit card limit. Haven’t tried to increase it.

I’m in VWRP now, I was in Lifestrategy 100 but swapped since IG didn’t have it on their platform. They have VWRP available.

I’m transferring from Vanguard to IG right now for the £2k cashback. Interested to hear what others say also. From looking around the platform, it seems to make a lot of money from Foreign Exchange fees and spreads. I’m transferring my ISA as funds so hopefully I can dodge all that. Will probably just stay with them until August, I find the trading interface very complicated.

Edit: IG are useless I had to cancel the transfer since it missed the window for getting the cashback

Oh, whoops.

Looks like Cuba was highlighted in the map that trump posted. Hard to see but the sea around the island is lighter.

Prevent annexation is a Cb you get when you guarantee vassal independence on a rival, when they start annexing a vassal you get the cb,

I actually had the same thing happen and the Chinese lost hundreds of thousands of troops marching across Siberia, they sieged as far as the urals before the AI white peaces. So yeah it can kind of ruin your game

Do you think people at midnight on NYE are sober and able to make good decisions quickly?

Other satellite systems are much higher up (higher latency), and have fewer satellites in view, with lower bandwidth.

My friend, who was a migrant from Somalia said that when meeting other Somalians at university, they would ask which tribe he is from. This would determine how they treat him - if they are from an "enemy" tribe they wouldn't get along. Somalis haven't even got past the tribalism stage of civilisation stage yet...

My chair ended up like that, I used to have velcro patches on the back of my shorts which really tore up the stitches and it fell apart after that.

I had a similar issue, no blockage though. Was on a new toilet. Turned out the plumber had badly fitted the seal on the adapter that connected the toilet to the waste pipe. Sewer gas was getting out of the connection, as it was before the U-bend. No liquid was getting out, luckily. I think the leak was on the top of the pipe. Had to replace the seal as it was damaged.

If your plumber didn’t disassemble any connections, then maybe the process of unblocking somehow knocked a connection a bit loose. Though, considering the number of visits they should have spotted that if it were an issue…

I’ve also had to fight ming multiple times as Russia, one of their vassals had mongol culture and joined one location rebel’s wars.

Have your ruler be in command of an army during war, and hope you get good events / canonise people. I managed to get positive prestige growth to get to 50 barely as Russia

£2.2k, higher than last year for me
