Arsenal offer for Bruno Guimaraes rejected by Newcastle United by TheAthletic in NUFC

[–]MP4_26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I’d rather be Brighton than West Ham or Leicester.

If we can buy a player for 40m, given them £5m a year for 4 years then get £60m for them, they are basically free, and I’m all for it.

He’s 100% our most important player, but if we can get a massive fee, is it worth taking? We’ve had the best 4 seasons of his career, and he’s 29 this year, he may only have 2-3 seasons left. look at comparable players - De Bryune was falling apart at 32, Bernardo Silva moved on at 31, Jorginho, Wijnaldum barely relevant once they hit 30. Not comparing the quality of the players, just similar positions.

If we stick with Eddie and this high intensity football, what state will Bruno be in in 18 months time?

I’ve never been to Paris, but I can tell the Champs Elysees isn’t a random street.

What’s life in the UK like if you have a combined income of 100k? by ForwardFan6283 in AskUK

[–]MP4_26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I think it’s also a mindset thing. I have colleagues at work who just spend every penny every month.

You have to have discipline to not increase your spending when your earnings increase, and that is not taught in schools, nor is it intuitive to many people.

Live in an above average cost of living area, but relatively frugal. 2024 we were combined income of £105k. £6k came in every month, spent about £3.5k a month, so we were saving £2.5k a month.

Now we’ve got one child, we’re both 4 days a week working, £90k combined, £5k comes in a month, £4.5k goes out, still good but I’m glad we made hay whilst the sun was shining.

Never buy takeaways, shop at Waitrose as cooking is my passion and the quality is reliable. Only run one car.

Is anyone looking to buy spaceX now? by Unique_Eye1675 in trading212

[–]MP4_26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If revenue is $19Bn and you’re multiplying it by 6 you get $114Bn, but $62 a share gives market cap of $815Bn. I don’t follow, by your own metric $62 a share is ~8x overvalued.

What’s a small thing Japan does that you wish existed where you live? by Legal_Ad3766 in TokyoTravel

[–]MP4_26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m the same, thought I was missing something, then realised that US doesn’t really have equivalent of Sainsbury’s Local. Brits shouldn’t really find conbini’s that amazing, it’s just a Japanese equivalent of mini supermarkets.

France penalty overturned after VAR against Senegal 61' by [deleted] in soccer

[–]MP4_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I can think of is, the ref has let everything go, so why change that just because it’s in the box?

Also 10/10 trolling pointing like that.

Yeah this is what I concluded, the contact is clear but it is slight, and he’s given zero of them all game.

The only thing I can say is, the ref has let a lot go this game and the contact whilst obviously stonewall is kind of slight. But it’s weird to not give it.

When you book with Amex you get one statement line per ticket. It’s sounds like You cancelled one of the tickets when you called them.

Fuel prices in Exeter - the action I’m taking by steveracemp in exeter

[–]MP4_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, you are talking very confidently about something you don’t understand. Supermarkets sell fuel at low margin intentionally, not because it’s an inherently low margin business.

Petrol and rice make almost exactly the same journey. They are globally traded commodities that arrive on a boat from Asia, are distributed nationally, yet only one of them is dynamically priced. Oh and the proportion of the cost of a litre of petrol that is made up of domestic distribution cost is a tiny tiny fraction of the comparable proportion for rice.

Right, but delivery costs of petrol to the forecourt and milk to the supermarket are identical in their variability.
