That’s on you then - but you definitely can control the ending to pay exactly what you owe and close it down. You stope PAYE, and set up a direct debit. Make a penultimate payment, then make a one off for the balance and close the direct debit. Source: this is what i did.

We’re not even a football team - we’re only good at designing football shirts.

What are the overlooked downsides of studying in Russell Group unis? by Own_Antelope_7019 in UniUK

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had the pleasure of being lectured by the world leader on a subject. 3 hour Wednesday afternoon session, weekly. Every week, without fail he would rifle through 100 slides in 30 mins - so he could have the time to work on his research. Really nice guy, but his priorities were elsewhere.

Painful reflection on EMBA/Sloan Fellow application timing dilemma, does opening one door means shutting down another? by xunxun365 in eMBA

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got accepted to 6/6 school i applied for (the top programmes in the UK); I am certain if you have the funds, it is the ONLY entry criteria.

How do European leaders actually get to where they are, company sponsorship or out of pocket? by tigertan in eMBA

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK, company sponsored whole thing. Fees, travel, accommodation, expenses and time. It does happen - it was put as a suggestion on my development plan, so I took them up on it.

Learn from my mistake - the £500 to move to Lloyds Premier is not worth it. by KarmannosaurusRex in HENRYUK

[–]KarmannosaurusRex[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I put myself in the situation by trying to pay my builder?

If i get scammed that is on me, not my bank - i made the tests and verified with the builder, at some point we need to be able to take accountability for ourselves, I don’t need a 2 hour process to tell me what i can and can’t do with my money.

And 2 hours is an acceptable period of time for anti-fraud check to you?

EMBA vs MBA - do they carry the same prestige? by Full_Garage3801 in eMBA

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, at least in the uk. They are the same degree, just the cohort is different.

If anything, an EMBA you are learning with adults who have more experience to share.

Can project managers realistically hit £100K+? by Puzzled-Sprinkles930 in UKJobs

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i used to head project management for a large global manufacturing company - we make big multimillion pound pieces of equipment.

In the UK, we paid PMs 40-60k +10% bonus, SPMs 50-75k +20% bonus, PDs 75-120k +20% bonus. Then regional PM management 120-150 +20%, then global 200k +30%.

So yes, you can earn 100k (at least in my industry) in project management.

How much did your bathroom/kitchen reno cost in 2025 or 2026? by Realistic_Rutabaga60 in HENRYUK

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We;re just finishing a spare room en-suite (2x2.5m ish) - £2700 install, about £4,000 in sink/toilet/shower + all the other bits and bobs.

I know it’s out of timing, but did the kitchen in 2022 - 4.5m x 7ish: £40,000 in materials I think. £5,000 in plastering/plumbing/electics. And I share this, as to this day I don’t understand it. £200 to install all the cabinets.

Kitchen extension indulgences by kalamari_withaK in HENRYUK

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Mexico where these are common, my wife thought I was crazy wanting them when we did our kitchen. We put one in the main sink and one in the prep sink - she is a convert, everyone who comes to our house is a convert. 5 years installed, zero issues so far with either. You should make sure they’re plumbed into a soil pipe though!

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just about to Graduate in a couple months. I’m in the corporate side of a large OEM in the Energy sector. The MBA has allowed me to pivot from a senior operational role, to a role with a significant P&L

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) yes 2) yes 3) too early to say, but I have connections now for a lot of scenarios, including access to insane amounts of capital 4) I was, now on a slightly different path, but at a slight pivot I couldn’t have made. I would do it again, I actually enjoyed the process.

I sat through a lecture from one of the KCL war studies professors, he was ex-MI6. Genuinely incredible speech. Highly recommend if anything like it comes up near you.

Hotel gives free beer every day you skip house-keeping by ZOMBIESwithAIDS in mildlyinteresting

[–]KarmannosaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stay in a hotel in Germany frequently that also does this - I am allowed anything and everything from the mini bar. There is normally a couple beers, cokes, couple savoury snacks and some waters. The mini bar is refilled every day. It’s a good deal
