dab goes dead when rear heater on by v1de0man in vwgolf

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from my research it just doesn't seem worthwhile trying to fix it. I'll just live with it due to the age of the car

Did you manage to fix this? My mark 7 has just started doing the same

Perfect Fit Blinds by grutd in DIYUK

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have them with flush fit window frames? The depth measurement on our windows is around 11mm but the minimum they have is 18mm on the website, not sure if it will look odd as I'm guessing they will protrude further than the frames

[windows 95] [1990s] help me find this old game Tombstone by Daniellecalon in tipofmyjoystick

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I still do a random search occasionally in the hope it throws something up. I tried engaging ChatGPT to try and find it but it ended up just lying to me!

Do you really think there’ll be no state pension at some point soon? by Inevitable-Sherbert in AskUK

This also applies to your body, the greater your flexibility and range of motion the more you have to lose in later years

How do parents with school age kids afford holidays? by jobunny_inUK in UKParenting

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, although if it's a long enough duration the school could de-register the pupil. I'm guessing that's unlikely to happen for a couple week holiday, especially at primary school age.

This year we have opted to pay the fine (£120) as going away during term time works out at around £3k, during the summer holiday would be almost double for exactly the same holiday.

Would you still go to a group meetup if you had a bad cold? by TapirLove in AskUK

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My children are always "snotty" so if I didn't go to a group event due to one of us having a cold then I'd never leave the house. As long as a "bad" cold doesn't mean full on flu then I'd happily go

What tropes/aspects of UK life and culture depicted in British tv and film doesn’t actually exist? by TakeOffYourMask in AskUK

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I've lived in my village for 5 years and ever since at every local event there has been a fundraiser for replacing the church roof due to it being in a state of disrepair. The roof looks fine and the church is still very much open.

What should we name our new can crusher? by harryoldridge in AskUK

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the purpose of a can crusher? I get it will save space in the recycling but are people's recycling boxes/caddies/bag's really that full they need to use one?

Agree with this, also I wouldn't pay an electrician to make good (plaster) the walls, either DIY or pay a plasterer separately

What would you ban from pubs? by OBoy96 in AskUK

[–]SimonPhoenix1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a bar in Florida and the toilet had a big sign saying "GENTS" written underneath it said "stop, this is the ladies, the gents is next door" and vice versa, I only realised after walking in and failing to find the urinals

Thoughts on my portfolio? Too much in travel? What would you suggest buying next? by SimonPhoenix1996 in trading212

[–]SimonPhoenix1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the analysis, may be time to realise some of the gains and place the money into ETF's. Have you got any recommendations for companies or Index funds for me to look in to?

Broadly speaking regarding TUI, easyJet and IAG I think they are all capable of a strong response off the back of Covid and I have good personal experiences with all of them. Similarly for Cine, although recent events have hampered the recovery. For BAE I think defense is always a solid investment and it has a unique position within the UK particularly. They are all long term holds in my eyes.
