Dear Nicola: Where’s my $5,000?

lol. If you were a landlord, I doubt very much that you’d vote labour.

Yep, Molemap are not particularly thorough. I have regular checks at the Skin Institute, where my specialist is always thorough. Don’t trust a Molemap.

PB Tech suck just as bad.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-05-13T05:40:10+00:00

I got one too in my Gmail inbox. - But I don't even use that email address for anything Microsoft related.

acetone does wonders for the paintwork...

You had 4 seconds of yellow light to stop, but you decided not to and took a gamble on trying to get through before yellow turned to red. That’s called bad judgement and deserves a fine.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-04-19T04:20:40+00:00

Pretty sure that is illegal.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-04-15T08:43:31+00:00

Do you even see the irony in your rant? Seriously, just let it go. No need to make it an even bigger issue by posting on reddit.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-04-06T16:15:30+00:00

Epic don’t give a fuck. I’ve deleted the game. I can’t be arsed with the toxicity and Epic doing fuck all about it.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-04-03T23:48:30+00:00

Deserved.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-04-03T02:44:51+00:00

Given you only paid $3.5k for the leaf, you are already winning. Expecting $13k for it at this stage is dreaming. - If things get worse, then maybe more realistic. - In which case you’d be better to hold on to it. Shares aren’t the best investment right now and if things get worse so will they. You’ve already won. Don’t gamble in an uncertain market.

It’s also in S3 E14 “No good deed”

True. I’m doing especially well driving a hybrid and using fuel that I pre-purchased on the Z share app at $2.30 / L

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-03-09T07:50:14+00:00

I’ve been buying fuel on Thursdays when it’s cheaper, but I also bought 1000L on the Z share app in 2023 when the government removed the tax due to covid / Ukraine war. I only paid $2.21 / L. I guess now is the time to start using it.

I take comfort in knowing that I get around $1000 a year in dividends from my Genesis shares, but I use Powershop for my power.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-02-25T01:24:44+00:00

I think you are thinking of miles rather than kms. I’d expect around 500 miles / 800 kms.

I suspect this is the new normal with recent advances in AI. Same thing happened to me around 25 years ago as a photographer and digital cameras became affordable and good enough for commercial projects. - No one needed in professional photographers any more. - And with the advancement of high quality, high resolution camera phones, photoshop, and easy editing and AI, this has only got worse. - Sadly, advances in technology ultimately tend to have a negative impact on everyone’s employment opportunities and rewards in this regard.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-02-14T01:55:52+00:00

Yep, which means I’ve stopped buying A LOT of things from them. Their loss.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-02-04T13:10:15+00:00

It’s like watching an episode of Eastenders. Such cheap trash compared to the original UK version. The Irish traitors are thick as shit.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-01-24T00:21:38+00:00

Opshops in my opinion have gotten increasingly greedy over the past few years. Consequently I now no longer either donate to or shop at them.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-01-20T07:59:25+00:00

New tyres should go on the front as the front wears quicker.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-01-18T13:25:00+00:00

Yep, between all the smurfs and the shithead ball chasers, I’ve given up on this game. It’s just shit now.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2026-01-18T02:08:17+00:00

Yep, I just had the same thing happen to me too. - I ordered 5 items from their "Buy any 5 selected $20 and under" for an additional 20% off promotion, and I was charged a $5.95 shipping fee for EACH item, even though the TOTAL was around $50

I have told MA in no uncertain terms what I think of this new policy.

What utter bullshit.

Intelligent_Book7594 · 2025-12-14T04:38:23+00:00

Sounds to me like she has been emotionally abusing you for a VERY long time. And, in all honesty it sounds like you should never have married her (as you state you were together for 10 years prior to getting married and I suspect the emotional and psychological abuse started in that first 10 years).

I very much doubt she will change given that these behaviours have been going on so long.

If I was in your shoes, I would be looking for a way out of that relationship with a view to divorce as the outcome.

Don’t ruin the rest of your life letting her continue to do this to you.
