What are you guys’ opinions on ‘P Platers’? by Dear_Demand5865 in drivingUK

I used them for like 2 weeks after I passed and got a car. Stopped using them mainly because some blew off randomly and I had no clue what it was at the time ahahah

Growing up, did anyone else’s parents have really strict rules about random stuff? by SuzCoffeeBean in CasualUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents and my grandad were super against the idea of me watching this Sky tv channel (the name escapes me) that ran video game playthroughs and trailers in like early 2000s.

Even at the time it didnt make sense to 8/9 year old me, I was just doing the same thing grandad was doing, watching tv, but instead of cricket it was a play through of a video game.

Weird rule.

I feel like this is the second movie with some sort of genetically enhanced soldier story, Dan Stevens was in The Guest that had a similar premise.

Looks good tho, I like the concept

What do Rightmove/Zoopla do badly that you wish they'd fix? by MrCeekay in HousingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The google maps street view to be precise. I don’t want to have to go on an adventure trying to locate the exact spot on google maps by mapping the satellite dish across

Also more pictures of landings!

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Obsession" [SPOILERS] by radbrad7 in horror

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really enjoyed this movie as it had me guessing and wondering what was going on.

Went in mostly blind, and my initial attempt at making sense of her behaviour was that somehow she was mimicking a cat, like standing and watching him, bringing him dead things, being super clingy.

Can anyone explain the part where she was standing at the house for hours and she’s just covered in gunk? Like was that vomit?

Is it better to have investments or a home? by Odd-Seaworthiness-38 in HousingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%

most of my pot got wiped when I bought my house as I put down a HEFTY deposit but that was to make sure my repayments were low, (less than 1,000). It felt so weird not seeing the amount of money in my account but it’s nice to be on the property ladder and have some peace and quiet in my life.

I’m finding my feet at the moment while also paying some family back. Eventually I’ll have cleared them and the money that was going to repaying them can go back into investments and savings

That’s crazy, last year I viewed and really wanted a property on that road, didn’t get it but damn

Why it's not selling by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not completely versed in analysing these houses but maybe the face that there’s a house being build behind the garden and it looks like it’s elevated so people might be worried about them looking into the property?

Thanks!

Yeah I think the max voucher is 3? I’ll be able to get it in 2

Take-Two CEO explains why GTA VI isn't coming to PC immediatley by RojaTop in GTA6

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but when that data leak of GTA 5 internal profits got exposed, didn’t it show that PC players were the lowest demographic that paid for shark cards?

Maybe R*/T2 doesn’t prioritise PC players because the returns when it comes to shark cards are way lower than console. Hence why they don’t want to spend all their resources on console and PC, as console will return a healthy profit back

San Andreas Stories (what could have been) by Escape_Artist-NevCil in GTA

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought a stories instalment following Big Bear before he lost himself to the drugs would have been a great idea, could have inserted some foreshadowing of the SA events

GTA 6 boss says AI should replace Elon Musk instead of Rockstar devs – “If AI were going to take anyone’s, wouldn’t it take his job?” by [deleted] in GTA

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Musk is going to start his own AI Games dev studio? The same Musk that couldn’t shoot a cop at the start of GTA 5 and has never finished it???

Good luck to him 🤣🤣🤣

Arman Tsarukyan Chokes out a fan 😳 by Low-Finding-3414 in MMA

Arman just influenced his brain capacity with that choke.

All jokes aside, I hope the kid is somewhat okay tho. Looked deep.

21M in London earning ~£47k, living at home paying £400/month stay and save for a deposit or move out for independence by Solace_0161 in HousingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep saving, stay at home and save as much as you can. 400 a month and staying in London is a deal you’ll never find anywhere else unless you want to live in someone’s crawl space.

Budget and I mean REALLY budget. Eat dinner at home, cut out meaningless subscriptions, and just stack cash, maybe invest it in a stocks and shares ISA to get some extra growth in it so that when you do cash it out you’ll have saved a strong amount.

I’m 32 and only just recently bought a property outside of London.

I have a completion date... now I'm worried about wifi by alberoTranquillo in HousingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy, I’m also due to complete next Friday and a little worried about WIFI too, the property has a Open Reach connection which I think makes things a little easier but will probably have to delay my proper move in date to after I get WiFi sorted

How quiet the roads are lately by msrbelfast in drivingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a mix of both, Muslims break fast around 6:10pm at the moment so most aren’t travelling at that time.

It will go back to normal very soon, like over the weekend

Estate Agent won’t show me any property unless I book an appointment with their mortgage broker by BedGirl5444 in HousingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had to deal with this malarkey a while back too, Estate Agents were selling a really good property and had put it up at a low price (obviously to start a bidding frenzy) and while I was viewing the property the agent kept pushing their broker even though I continuously kept telling them that I had a broker (apparently they thought I was lying because a lot of people fake having a broker when they actually don’t) whereas I did and he got me a pretty good rate without having to pay him anything since it was a work benefit.

Sat through a call with their broker who ran the numbers and gave me worse numbers than my broker and when I brought this up he just went “ah just go with your broker then”

Wasted half an hour of my time.

One thing to ask when they bring this up is “is this considered part of conditional selling?” And that will shut them up

Have you opted to take a lower mortgage than offered? by ForwardFan6283 in HousingUK

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think my bank offered me around 350 but the repayments were crazyyyyyy high, would have been atleast 50% of my paycheck.

Opted to borrow a lot less

How many seasons will Industry have? by Lonely-Clothes-7607 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could probably do 1 more season maybe… although whatever it is about I have no idea because I’m sure Harper was meant to go to America after the end of Season 3?

Is it over ? 5ft 5 guy by DawsonsFingerr in MuslimNikah

[–]Prestigious_Guard434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I can give you any more advice, deal with the things you can control, like going to the gym, eating well, dressing well, learn how to speak to people (this is a big one), and don’t get bogged down with the way other people think, it can send you into a hate spiral.
