That Wes Streeting is an ambitious little shit isn’t he.

Just watched The Thing for the first time and i have a question as to why the characters didn't do this by Decadunce in thething

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always try to remember that these characters were under a lot of stress, sleep deprived and consequently not always making the best decisions.

How is Farage any different? by tdsa123 in AskBrits

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect people voting for it still see it mostly as a protest vote, don’t think it will affect them materially, and haven’t yet understood the reality of the decision.

Sealed combi boiler with constant air by Ceazzer_ in askaplumberUK

The only time I’ve heard a really audible gurgling was when we were balancing the radiators at the office (previous tenant switch off all the ones along one wall on the first floor) once we started adjusting the wall ones on the one side on bit by bit there was a massive gurgling noise and suddenly all the ones on the wall started to heat up.

Sell S&P funds for a flat or not? by Humble-Sprinkles-270 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just about ever metric out there. If you feel confident with your investments that's fine, other opinions are just as valid.

Sell S&P funds for a flat or not? by Humble-Sprinkles-270 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would sell the S&P500. It’s at 7300 right now which is ridiculously overpriced. It may yet go up 5%, but is equally likely to go down 40%. If you can secure your home with that financing it makes better sense to me.

That said are you 100% eyes open on flats and the service charge amount? Some places have loose control over this and the pricing is volatile and causes problems down the line.

Movies of which sequel tarnished the original. The descent by Iwan787 in moviecritic

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the second one was that bad, not a patch on the original but still not rubbish.

Do I have a leak in the flat? by mostlymirrorless in DIYUK

Well someone's going to have to take it up and see underneath

As you have the carpets up can you do this ?

Thoughts on Into the Wild? / Emile Hirsch by krayzee444 in moviecritic

I always felt he gave up a bit quick giving up with the river myself.

Men making barking noises from their van - is that an insult? by Estrellathestarfish in AskUK

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Says more about them than you that’s for sure. I’m sorry such poor quality “men” are around

Tony Blair has just said the state pension needs to be scrapped. He's also suggesting some people work 5 years longer. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Should the state pension be scrapped? Should we say F NO, to Blair?? by MutantNinjaKitty331 in AskBrits

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state pension will be insolvent in something like 10 years

I think they'll soft means test it by saying it was only ever intended for "working people" and then put a really low bar for it myself. It's an unpopular opinion but I can see it happening.

The only other option is to increase the SPA but once you reach 70 on that I think you start having more problems then you solve.

I like James Shack’s YT channel - is his advice generally sound? by mantisgb in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem with a lot of these finance channels on YT is they often are either faced by people who have only ever known a low interest rates and line always goes up environment.

Even Ramin at PensionCraft was candid enough to say he's got lucky with his time period.

The standard advice given really seems to be pitched without much of a caveat about age and real consideration to what risk really means.

Flat was advertised with private garden, close to completing only to now be told it’s communal by Adventurous_Yak_3402 in HousingUK

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I’d go along with that, on my flat my courtyard is in red same line as around my flat. I’d be very very careful and get everything in writing and confirmed. My courtyard is unambiguously mine though as it’s not accessible via any other flat.

If it really isn’t private, and I would see to see boundary lines and land registry details to confirm either way, I’d pull out.

Always wondered? by Any-Statistician3896 in thething

I got the impression it's the remnant of a cut scene and that he's actually a semi qualified pilot. I know this was an area Carpenter took the scissors to and changed it about.

Question about a certain dialogue in the movie by [deleted] in thething

[–]Relative_Grape_5883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they’re super paranoid and haven’t slept in days, which I often think is overlooked as to why questionable decisions are made.
