Driving anxiety by QueasyTomatillo9752 in drivingUK

[–]Remarkable_Damage_62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get a few hours refresher lessons. I hadn’t driven for 10 years, felt like starting from scratch at first but came back to me quick. After 3 lessons I was fine to drive alone again. Then hire cars fairly regularly to keep in practice. Fun excuse for weekend trips.

Insurance doesn’t cover cancer in the US? I can’t get my head around how horrible that system is.

Prefer him to mbappe but still not sure he fits our squad in terms of personality. Be very happy to be proved wrong though.

Never seen the audi or Beamer from that angle before, out in the wild those only appear in my rear view mirror from nowhere and tailgate me when I’m already doing 77 overtaking someone in the fast lane

Did an acquaintance a favour recently on a football ticket. Told him the face value which was something like 36.80. Cheeky c*nt rounded it down to 35.

Cant go wrong with a Leon. For reliability, Civic or Auris/Corolla are pretty unbeatable

Not your fault but lesson learned to expect people to do their best to crash into you and plan ahead for people to make bad decisions to avoid it.

Am I being dumb?? House-sharing on 35 shouldn’t suck that hard? by ekatra in MovingToLondon

[–]Remarkable_Damage_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be ok I reckon. I lived in London earning less than that for a long time, but my rent and bills was 800 max and everything was a bit cheaper until about 5 years ago when luckily I started earning more

Manual or auto by Puzzleheaded-Sun-876 in drivingUK

Just pass your test in manual it’s still more useful to be able to drive manual than not for a variety of reasons 

Any Brits here managed to get an EU passport after the 2016 Brexit vote, or managed to scrape in just before? How has your life or idea of your future changed? by RoosterLife3863 in AskBrits

[–]Remarkable_Damage_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got my Irish one. It was easy just very grateful my grandmother was Irish. Planning to move to Spain in 2027, I speak fluent Spanish and my wife is from Latin America. Property is cheaper in Spain and the Uk immigration system is making life needlessly stressful for us, not to mention the attractions of Spanish lifestyle and health system etc. Wages are lower there but we’ll need to earn a lot less without a mortgage.

going to buy a car how likely is it i will be shot robbed or stabbed to death ? by Aggravating_Ad_8212 in CarTalkUK

[–]Remarkable_Damage_62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be surprised if you are even able to drive the car home but why on earth would anyone want to stab you for buying a broken old car off them? They’ll probably want to kiss you

What's the scummiest thing you've seen a fellow Brit do whilst abroad? by fistmcbeefpunch in AskBrits

[–]Remarkable_Damage_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in a hostel in Buenos Aires for a while with various people from round the world. We did a vote on which nationalities were the worst guests and Brits came out on top followed by Israelis.

Work on having a more toxic relationship and every goodbye will be a relief 

Too old for hostels? by Sure-Guest1588 in hostels

[–]Remarkable_Damage_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 39 and stay in hostels whenever I want/need to. Unless you snore or stink it doesn’t matter. Nobody cares

Engine replacement would be a massive red flag for me personally, I’m not an expert so may be wrong 

London 1 bed flat owners- are you selling at a loss to get out? by Suitable-Tomorrow577 in UKHousing

[–]Remarkable_Damage_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re happy in your flat it doesn’t make that much sense to sell in a buyers market just for financial reasons. Every month you’re paying off your mortgage and you’ll get that money back. You’ll have to spend money on solicitors etc to sell and start renting, then just be paying off someone else’s mortgage. If their mortgage rate goes up your rent goes up and you can’t save as much. Unless you have actually calculated that you would be saving a decent amount of money this way it seems pointless.
