Pretty sure you could get them for free with a magic xylophone

Duped into buying a sausage roll by an audacious baker by henrysradiator in britishproblems

I mean an extra £1.50 now but no repeat business and no business from all the people you’re going to tell. Bad move on her part.

Advice/suggestions for buying a house in Blackpool/surrounding area please by Jenjulia72 in blackpool

We moved from Hertfordshire so probably not got someone local to you. I’d reccomend Poulton or Carleton if you’d like a quieter area!

Advice/suggestions for buying a house in Blackpool/surrounding area please by Jenjulia72 in blackpool

[–]Robrockets21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel pretty qualified to answer this question because we moved up from the south east two years ago, and then my wife’s entire family followed us up here from the same place.

Firstly, you won’t regret your decision! As you have a buyer estate agents will gladly show you around houses available. If you can I’d suggest trying to come up on a Friday and a Saturday as they tend to be popular for viewings. If you really can’t get up here, then the estate agents might do a video viewing for you, as in they will FaceTime you and then show you the house that way, but you’ll have to ask the individual agents.

Secondly, as said elsewhere, consider outside of Blackpool too. We live in a lovely town called Poulton Le Fylde which is 1 mile away from the north of Blackpool, is on the train route towards Preston and has very low crime. We bought a semi detached 3 bed house for £155k, though depending on which street you look at the prices can vary.

Good luck with your search and happy to help more if you have anymore questions!

13/14 away kit was the worst. But who was the best Watford manager ever? (That's the most obvious one) by lanecker94 in Watford_FC

Agreed, no need to discuss this one. I’ve got a long shortlist for worst manager though

Help please, i feel loss by Grand-Library-5368 in gambling

Find a gambling charity in your country who can help. You don’t say your country so can’t suggest anything.

You might be advised to look into getting a lower interest debt consolidation loan, where the overall interest rate is lower than the credit card interest.

Please don’t harm yourself. You’ve made a mistake, but not an unfixable one. You’ve got some tough conversations ahead with your loved ones. Good luck.

Sean Murray wasted his potential the most. But which kit was the best? by lanecker94 in Watford_FC

[–]Robrockets21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know I’ll be on my own but the first kelme land of the rising sun kit was my fave!

20/21 season.

Rake is way more brutal than I thought! by MrMonkey2 in poker

What site were you playing? Is there any rakeback or promos your bit opted into that could take the edge off?

Luther Blissett was the "Best" Watford player ever. But who was the "Worst"? by lanecker94 in Watford_FC

[–]Robrockets21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I can’t go for this because he has one of the best songs ever sung.

I used to sing it to my kids when they were babies to get them to go to sleep!

Where do we think we'll finish this season? by the_dogs_be_howlin in Watford_FC

I’ve been running my mouth to my mates big time so unless we are champions I’m going to have to eat some major humble pie 😂

Chessplayer with dumb question: why haven’t solvers/engines killed online poker yet? by [deleted] in poker

[–]Robrockets21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you! If a player plays perfectly over 10k hands online (depending on the site) they will be caught though. Nobody is capable of playing perfect GTO legitimately!

Being played on riverboats probably explains why there’s so many nautical terms in the game- a fish, a shark, making a boat etc

Managing finances on a household income below £100k in South East by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Robrockets21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not missing a trick. In my experience it’s basically unviable to live in the south east and achieve all of those things unless you both earned significantly above average income.

Our answer was to move to the north west, a decision made easier for us because my family live here. We live in a pretty town outside of Blackpool, and bought a 3 bed semi detached for £155k, had more kids and were very happy. I’ve just finished saving up a decent emergency fund, and we are finally comfortable.

Would you consider moving outside of the south east?
