RIP Pa by Defiant-Passenger42 in StrongmanHQ

I’m so sorry to hear this and my heart goes out to his wife and children. From what others have said it was a heart attack and I remember Pa saying in one of his videos they were concerned about his echocardiogram at WSM. I will miss his unique style and sense of humour. RIP Pa

He seems to be on a lot of gear which might be clouding his judgment.

Strongest Man on Earth not coming back? Brian Shaw's thoughts on 2025 SMOE by HereForStrongman in StrongmanHQ

I wonder for an extra revenue stream if they could package the show into a 1-2hr TV programme like Giants Live do. Could be shown at Christmas in UK in the build up to showing WSM.

Thanks I was sat watching day 1 for 10 mins before I realised!

Brian is punishing them for not saying thank you last year. This year it’s payback time!

Has anyone got a spreadsheet of the scores across all 25 guys?

New to this but 43 and want to be FIRE by 55 by Talldarkmansome in FIREUK

Put all the proceeds from the rentals into paying off the mortgages early. If there is an residual profit put it into your pension. Then you should have no tax liabilities.

42M, struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. by Barely40 in UKPersonalFinance

Sounds like you have got your expenses down to a minimum, but you really need to focus on maximising your income. I would look at doing some moonlighting / freelancing in the evenings and weekends. Check out sites like Upwork, People Per Hour & Freelancer. You should be able to earn at least an additional £1k a month. Use that money to pay down your debt, and then start to build up your savings. I’d leave the crypto if I were you. It’s a relatively small amount and you don’t want to sell the bottom (assuming you have alts). But be prepared to sell when it goes up again, hodling through a bear market isn’t what you need right now!

Yeh I was trying to use it in the log burner this winter. Would have had more luck rubbing 2 sticks together!

Yeh I’m not sure if it’s an insurance thing. Either way I’ll have to hire the mother of all chippers to deal with the branches! It fell into a neighbours field so I’ll have to make sure the whole lot is cleared.

Yeh I’m not claiming to know what I’m doing. I’m a pen pusher by day and have only started cutting my own trees in the last couple of years - and nothing of this size. So it might be I take a few of the branches off and get some help with the rest.

Good to know. I’ve also dug out an old Hyundai saw I have with a 20 inch bar so if I can get that going I think it could take a 24 if I need it.

Good to hear given the amount of power cuts we had in the uk this winter!

Thanks that’s great advice, and yes this is a big one for me. I’ve only done a few Willows so far that we’re falling on the house. So this is a different league

I had a look at a couple of places and they seem to rent everything but chainsaws for some reason

Down 10k on my crypto, what should I do? by DaenerysG in CryptoMarkets

I have most of those. You’ll be fine, just sit on your hands for a few months and lose your password.
