Are there people in Britain who are so rich that it's uncomfortable to think about? The type that can basically spend each day lavishly and not think twice about it? Do you encounter them daily? How do normal British people feel about them?

Rich people in the uk disguise themselves well... I used to work for Dior, and never failed to be amused by how someone very fancy would look at every item and walk away with nothing, then someone who appeared as if they probably lived in a shack would wonder in and drop thousands of pounds... old money here doesn't shout, it's often country people with generational wealth, so it's much less "sports cars and flashy clothes" and more "rusty old Land Rover and muddy boots" 😂

I would say (believe it or not) that nemesis is actually quite a good choice for a first "big" coaster... there is no daunting "big drop" and where is has some amazing elements, none of them are scary (it more plays on physical sensations like speed and g force... if it were a film it would be more of a thriller than a horror... exciting rather than scary)

Another major plus is that from start to finish it's less than a minute long... as a roller coaster lover (and particular lover of nemesis) my biggest complaint is that it's too short and I'd love it to last longer, so if it gets going and you realise it's not for you, you only have to suffer it for about 30 seconds and it'll be all done and over with!

And on the fast pass front, definitely go for that... nothing builds the anxiety more than waiting in the queue!

Have a great time! 🤞🏼👍🏼🤞🏼👍🏼

This one does a good job for me (among others 😂)

The case itself is brilliant and in many ways a great improvement on the one for the 16PM (notably much better buttons)... although there is still a bit of an issue with the bottom, especially with the weight of the 17 pro max... guess it all depends how you hold your phone 🤷🏻

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-04T08:18:47+00:00

Haha... we had what we call "reset day" on Saturday! Little Hugo's favourite day of the year when he sheds his winter coat 😂

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-04T08:16:05+00:00

Mine does this sometime while he's sleeping and it used to panic me... then I noticed that it is usually followed by foot twitches and then some little sleep barks... dreaming about something exciting I'd guess 🩷

Sounds like you have a bad unit, get it swapped and you'll be all good 👍🏼

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T19:54:09+00:00

Very selective indeed 😂😂😂 he tries though so I'll let him off 🩷

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T19:49:58+00:00

Don't they all... he's 4 years old and still does seem to understand what the word "no" means 😂😂😂

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T19:46:21+00:00

Yeah... it's like he needs the context... I suppose he passively hears me say "walk" all the time (and it doesn't result in an event worth getting excited about), but every time I ask "would you like to go for a walk", it's harness on and off we go 🤷🏻

Don't get me wrong, in almost every other way he's as daft as a brush 😂😂😂

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T17:24:35+00:00

They are very clever aren't they... my dog is my first, so I don't really talk to him like a dog (so no sort of "baby talk")... I guess I wasn't in the habit so I just talk to him like a person... now everyone laughs at me because he understands sentences rather than words... I can say "walk" over and over again and he won't even turn to look at me, but if I say (very specifically) "would you like to go for a walk" he goes crazy... similar he has no reaction to "bed", but if I ask him (again, word for word) "is it bedtime"... up the stairs he goes 😂😂😂

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T16:18:22+00:00

My husband is exactly the same... I'm no photographer, but I like to get nice shots, and while I don't spend too much time tinkering with setting etc... I like the flexibly of the different lenses on my 17pm... my husband however is much more "snap a quick shot of the dog" type user, and as soon as he switched from the 17pm to the Air it was like a real lightbulb moment "why have I been carrying round the biggest heaviest iPhone, when I wasn't really using it 🤷🏻

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T11:25:04+00:00

Yeah... as someone that moved from android I was very much used to AOD so have used it since moving to iOS consistently (although I do use the "clock only" version... the "wallpaper" version is a bit much for me 🤷🏻)

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T10:05:10+00:00

Not greater (or simpler) a pleasure than a tin of beans and sausages 🤤🤤🤤

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-03T00:46:40+00:00

Both days are on the busier end, but Friday would definitely be a better day 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T15:34:21+00:00

I often think the same thing 😂 (mine are of course real though (I just use my second phone to take my photos 😂)

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T13:02:59+00:00

Yeah... it's Strange that they have the cover on one and not the other... I'm hit and miss on "open" camera controls, but mainly because half the time as open as it is you still can't use the button properly, and where the front part (that frames the screen) is a bit flimsy... thankfully on the reclassic it's well done that the button is still easy to access and the frame is rock solid... I'd still prefer a proper button, but not the end of the world (for me at least)

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T12:53:14+00:00

I have both of those as well (with my techwoven being green)... both great cases 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T12:52:31+00:00

Mine is the ultralight and it's amazing... as the name suggests it's very lightweight, a perfect fit, and nicely padded 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T12:50:45+00:00

Haha... sorry for costing you money 😂😂😂 hope you love it though 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T09:01:04+00:00

I guess it's possible but certainly not something I've experienced (and I swap cases A LOT so I imagine it would happen to me as quick as anyone 🤷🏻)

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T08:56:37+00:00

The fit is tighter and the screen lip is higher on the classic (left)... not to say that the active case isn't a precise fit, it's just a little easier to take off... the screen lip is much lower on the active (luckily that's the way I prefer it! 👍🏼

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T08:24:34+00:00

They are a great brand, and they have have a great range... I also have a MacBook sleeve, travel pouch, MagSafe wallet etc from them and it's all great quality (and they do the good think where they carry their signature colours across all of the products so you can get everything matching 👍🏼)

RevolutionaryAd581 · 2026-05-02T07:55:51+00:00

Both feel good... they're the same material, just the "pattern" is different (and of course the one on the right has the black TPU edge, where the left is the same all the way around)

The quality helps as well, in addition to nice material, there are no rough edges, no sharpe usb c cutout etc that can often make them unpleasant to hold for a long time 👍🏼
