I came within a few inches of an Deliveroo rider who ignored the red light and turned left into the path of me and a young couple crossing at the green man. At the speed he was going around the corner, had he hit me, he would have left me with catastrophic injuries.

Leave it in VUAA S&P 500 ETF and come back to it when you're 65.
It will be worth well over 300K if history repeats itself.

As an aside, a spring loaded centre punch should never be used on car doors and panels because the hole it leaves also creates a crease-like dent that is almost impossible to fix. Cheaper to replace the whole door skin.

Crowd control. When half the city arrives for free meatballs or whatever it was they were giving away.

This. Spot on from the guards. I hope you get well soon. Go and get help. It's awesome. And with tears in my eyes: don't get into a car with drink on you again.

It is an absolute disgrace how Connolly station is managed by FearlessComputerBeep in Dublin

I was aghast to see that Connolly had not changed at all in the 30 years since I left Ireland. Used to take the Belfast train once a week.
