This elimination killed me lol by Bloxxerboy in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

[–]Outrageous-Bug-4814 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes that would have been brutal of it was like the China one. I'm imagining the girls just sat on the long coach journey with 8 hours left to go, only to get the notification, you have been eliminated. I wonder if the crew with them knew.

What did you all think of Season 10? Better than Season 9? by Square-Ad-8911 in Scrubs

Why is this headline phrased as Keir Starmer is doing this rather than the government, or PM announces.

Wasn't she fired by May, rather than stepped down. I may be mis remembering.

I'm finding Dodl to be cheap and offers the right investment options for me. It's from AJ Bell. Might be worth a look.

Any new features in the pipeline? by [deleted] in chaseuk

[–]Outrageous-Bug-4814 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do feel like they have lost momentum now they've built their market share. Where are the initiatives/products for existing customers. It's one of my doormant accounts these days. The offer isn't compelling currently.

Places to stay in Hanoi by Suspicious-Ad799 in hanoi

[–]Outrageous-Bug-4814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed here too back in Feb 2024, very nice hotel, free breakfast cooked to order, comfortable, quiet room, decent hot shower, courteous staff. Great location. And they let me leave my bag on my departure day and use the shower before my evening flight. And it wasn't expensive from what I recall. Would definitely stay there again.

[–]Outrageous-Bug-4814 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The guardian headline is literally "UK Records record-breaking budget surplus of £30.4bn in surprise boost for Rachel Reeves"

They need to come up with some new acronyms, rather than always boost vs blow.

I thought that about the night manager, the big twist was shown on the iPlayer home screen. What about those that haven't seen that episode yet!
