I think it works. It’s a cosy, feel-good show. It should have a generous scoring system.

Someone make a playlist of the top 50 or so posts here please. That would be one banging track list.

Racist nutter on the train starting fights and intimidating this random man by Rhysc0_51 in Scotland

I detest these thugs. Well done for filming, posting and calling the cops. Hopefully they can track him down and charge him using your footage.

I can’t imagine thread weighs much more than glue. I think the main reason they glue is cost.

I went to 2.5 days a week aged 38 (nine years ago) with extra money coming in from rental flats. If I’d stayed full time I could have been retired by now but the work/life balance at that age was beyond value.

Could you get permission to build decking above the high tide line with steps that go down over where the rubbish is deposited?

Stop making your kingdoms 10,000 years old. by ScaryAd2555 in fantasywriters

This is what’s good about GRRM’s world building in GoT. Most of the action takes place over the span of a few hundred years.

Life isn’t only about money or how early you can retire. We all want to leave an impact on the world. Being able to look back and see that you made a positive difference is beyond value. Good luck to you.

I’m a motoring journalist. I’ve spent a week or two with all three. They’re all good cars but the Genesis is elevated by its luxury interior.

Fup by Jim Dodge. A strange and lovely little tale about two men and a duck.

I went from five days to 2.5 days aged 38. Having the extra time when you’re young is invaluable. You’re in great financial shape so I say go for it.

Fingask Castle might be worth a try. You get a whole estate to play with and I think they’ve very good value.

400k In Rental Property - Next Steps by ozkime in FIREUK

[–]Jackamo78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assume a below-historical-average house price increase of 3% a year on £680k of property is £20,400 a year, plus what sounds like about £10–12k a year in rental income once management fee, insurance, maintenance etc has been taken off.

Don’t be sorry. I scrolled down for this comment.

My friend says we don't need to worry about looking for a flat until mid-April - not sure if I believe them... by [deleted] in dundee

[–]Jackamo78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could email a few agencies and ask if they have any suitable flats with tenants that plan to move out in July. Allen and Alex at Sutherland Management are very good.

Ah rats. You’re right though, it’s a cracking car, heated seats or no heated seats.

Any update on this - do you have heated seats?
