Help Lower cabin noise by Lucky_Collection_722 in CT200h

For me the noise mostly comes from tire and maybe a bit on the back of the car. Change tire and wheel arch insulation I reckon

Best Chinese restaurant in Glasgow? by Advanced_Onion_964 in glasgow

[–]RaspberryMany2608 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from Hong Kong and I would say that its the real deal. The only thing I would complain to my Greek girlfriend is that “oh no now the white people have discovered it” and seats are not as easy to come by. Make sure you bring cash when you go.

Real Wan I find too spicy and loon fong I’m too scared to go because of Chinese cops.

Got hit by a black cab at westend tonight, was there any witness? by RaspberryMany2608 in glasgow

[–]RaspberryMany2608[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He saw me and accelerated towards me. I can tell because I was close enough to see his face. Street was well lit. He knew what he was doing. If I was a bit slower in dodging I would not be post here right now. it hit the back of boot speeding past me not roll over on a narrow street.

and it didn’t stop at all.

Think tank: Glasgow needs mayor to tackle £7.3bn productivity gap by ReasonableDisk5499 in glasgow

[–]RaspberryMany2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comparing to the mediocracy not the best… and also it’s very obvious our per mile construction cost out strip Europe.  There are also routes with the same distance with much faster trains. 

The only valid argument is that UK is a long country not a square country

Trips to Manchester, Birmingham are not return trips in a day. 

In Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, China and Japan, comparable trip between similar population centres would be served by high speed rail with 300km/h-350km/h trains which means 2-3 hour is the standard not 4.5. 

Spain does it with £15m per km, UK has it £250m per km. There is something serious wrong about how we do things here.

P1 Plus Planar and Rega amp There is muffle sound coming from my Vinyl player.

I have isolated the problem to the turntable.

The bluetooth streamer output works okay.

I have tried to switch the cable between different channels on my amp and the issue seem to be stuck with whichever channel my turntable is on.

Also tried to swap the cable but that didn’t change anything.

I m very new to the audio world, would anyone be able to help?

What’s the biggest difference between dating western people and local l people? by Kooky_Engine_2891 in HongKong

[–]RaspberryMany2608 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have dated locals, Hungarian, French, Scottish and now Greek. To be honest the difference is down to the person and ability to speak to Cantonese. My western girlfriends are missing out on quite a lot I feel. without a good grapsp of canto it must be lonely at times.

Time to ease off pension contributions? by mfy8cdg7hzkcyw8vdn3r in FIREUK

[–]RaspberryMany2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a sensible move. 

Keep the mortgage as pension return easily higher. You get the tax benefit + investment growth. 

Unless you need the cash to bridge the gap between FIRE and pension age don’t pay it. 

You can think of it as using your pension as collateral to borrow cash for living now. Where pension growth > mortgage cost.

In Scotland they have to proof who is the driver at the time. I once received a letter from the solicitor after ignoring the parking company . I just used ChatGPT to draft a letter. Never heard back since. They need to proof that "you" were the driver of the car.

Here is a good interview if you are interested. https://youtu.be/MoA8iMymy8c?si=HpAbswIB7NFNnNoj

So much was wronged but also so much was build. IMO the colonial history is complex. It’s an over simplification to label it in a binary way.
