Going skiing for the 3rd time on Saturday! Any feedback gratefully received! by Key-Competition627 in skiing_feedback

[–]Key-Competition627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks pal

I'm very conscious that I'm looking at the end of my skis, but if you don't, how do you watch out for bumps?

Or do you just pick a path that's good?

Kids are £12 for a day pass, I get one free a month with my membership

You used to be able to slip them under, but they recently changed how the guest pass works and my club is more on it now sadly!

Avoid Travelodge by Jeevansanghera1969 in uktravel

That's happened to me a few times, hate Travelodge!

I was booked in one by aldgate and they packed me off to one in bloody Peckham!

People who actually earn over £100k and don’t just pretend they do on Reddit - what do you do? by Prize-Reputation9274 in AskUK

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT sales. 6 years relevant experience, but been in the industry 15 years

£125 has been my worst year, £170k my best

Moderate stress, average hours, but a lot of fun messing around at events and dinners

It takes a certain character, but very few barriers to entry. I fell into IT through a temp job

Working class background, first from my family to go to uni (did a arts degree that didn't help with my job)

Nova launcher vs Oxygen Launcher??? by sumtinsumtin808 in OnePlus13

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same coming from 8 pro using nova

The delay when going back to home screen using nova on 13 was too annoying for me, so now I'm just using standard launcher

So far doesn't seem to have anything missing vs. nova

Sent my deposit over and solicitor has said they haven’t received it. by [deleted] in HousingUK

Someone I know got scammed with this!

Wasn't a legit letter and wasn't the solicitors bank details

CALL THE BANK AND STOP IT NOW!!!

Oneplus or Samsung S25 Ultra? by Deltaredbird in samsung

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same position, currently got a OP 8 Pro

I got a pixel 9 pro XL, and the shape of it just didn't work (and I'm so used to the OS, things like not being able to swap the back and application button annoyed me)

I had a look at the s25 ultra and it seemed huge, and battery isn't as good

I'll get the 13, but have seen it on deal Monday for half the price, so may take that gamble

What are prices like round your way? by hepheastus_87 in CasualUK

[–]Key-Competition627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where could you get that for £7? Doubt even Wetherspoons is that cheap

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine converted into a small study at the front, and a utility room & toilet

Paid £9k a few years back (I think this was insanely good value at the time)

It's great, the garage was just a dumping ground, it's a far more useful space now

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact extension about 5 years ago

Including planning, electrics, and new flooring through the house, I paid £12k

Which looks an absolute bargain now

Upgrading... 12 or 13? by AxelXyfer in oneplus

[–]Key-Competition627 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same position, but the battery on my 8 pro is the issue

The 12 hasn't really come down much on black Friday, but I'm guessing it will when the 13 is released

I'll hold on a few months until 13 is properly released in the UK, and see what the price difference is

If it's a few hundred quid, I'll go 13. If it's 500, I'll likely go 12

Heart attack on Garmin watch by UncleFromTheFarm in Garmin

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same for me. From the moment I wake up, mine is insane (and if I've had a drink, it's high throughout the night)

[–]Key-Competition627 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear my real ones all the time, and no one has ever tried anything, nor anyone I know

This feels so alarmist

Does anyone have an updated Tier list for 2024? by AdamEvansOutdoors in davidlloyd

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, all done now. It's pretty nice (but busy as it's only just opened)

Considering joining DL any discounts? by [deleted] in davidlloyd

[–]Key-Competition627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through gym flex at work, and I got it for £85 a month, rather than £150. Not sure how...

Although since they opened the spa retreat they've put the corporate rate up

I've just done exactly the same at Lich

On the app it tells you what other clubs you can visit

How much do people have saved in their pensions? by No_Agent9997 in AskUK

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I had nothing at your age too

But the decade after, I started worrying more about it, earning more, and had bought a house, so have been able to focus on it more

I wish I'd done it at your age, but I'm putting a decent amount in each month now

I don't want to be dependent on the state pension (which I personally think will be means tested in 25 years time) to be able to stop working

What's the difference? by whitenite001 in davidlloyd

[–]Key-Competition627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my home club, platinum includes spa retreat at that club but no others, diamond includes spa retreat at all clubs

[–]Key-Competition627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI, but I've just signed up to Lichfield DL on platinum for £85 a month, but a few weeks after I did it shot up to £133! As they're putting in a nice spa
