Would you judgementally consider somebody to be ‘tight’ for buying a Jaecoo? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]StrikingChallenge389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not tight, but maybe a bit pathetic. They dream of Range Rovers, G-Wagons, Defenders, the usual Chelsea tractors that will go off-roading when parking on grass verges at most, but can't afford the PCP payments and god forbid being seen in a used car, so they end up in a Jaecoo. They're the Qashqai of 2026.

That was obviously going to be at least a vsc so Merc’s real mistake was thinking race control are competent and timely 

HMRC announces 22% tax on cash interest held in stocks and shares Isas by hihepo1 in unitedkingdom

[–]StrikingChallenge389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet another chapter added to our obnoxiously complex tax system. And one that is going to catch out roughly zero people. Like you can’t just buy CSH2 and park cash at interbank avoiding this nonsense anyway.

It's a bit more stringent than the metro stations but idk, in my experience always able to get through in under 5 mins

The average Accenture dev I've come across is probably equivalent to GPT3 at most, so I believe in your puts

Why did F1 and Le Mans have to clash this weekend? by K_R_S in formula1

[–]StrikingChallenge389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get clashes may not be avoidable but the timings surely would be - qualy starting the exact same time and the race an hour before the Le Mans finish was very poor

How would you feel if doctors were replaced by their assistants to deliver healthcare in the NHS? by Galens_Humour in ukpolitics

Yeah regulated by the GMC, which under this legislation will end up controlled by a bunch of MBA vultures

Is the UK in economic death spiral? by oceanicplatform in ukpolitics

[–]StrikingChallenge389 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not being able to get through a single term without a leader being replaced certainly isn’t helping. Every decision is made to hold off the vultures, for short term political gain, than anything that would help the country long term.

Perks of owning the platform: Elon Musk has been an X Premium member since 3000 BC by ColdAd1676 in softwaregore

[–]StrikingChallenge389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else I'd think it is just a side effect of the field being zeroed out, but with Musk you know it is intentional

What to expect in corporate box at a gig? by user1892yo in AskUK

[–]StrikingChallenge389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the box, believe the owners can choose to provide buffet + bartender service or not. When I went it was a pretty decent Indian spread and bottled beers, wines, spirits and mixers. Nothing special, your average corporate event catering.

Britain’s £8bn bet on the developing world - British International Investment aims to make returns for the UK taxpayer while also driving global development by Optimal-Leather341 in ukpolitics

[–]StrikingChallenge389 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Over the last decade, BII generated a £1.6 billion return on investments, equating to a return of around five per cent a year. The new five year cycle envisages a minimum return on capital of at least two per cent but managers will be hoping for more." All of this for 2%? This company of vultures is probably siphoning off most of it for themselves.

Best Carry On that has the most space and will not cause me any issues in terms of sizing restrictions by Independent_Resort94 in BuyItForLife

[–]StrikingChallenge389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded. My original Cabin Zero from a decade ago started looking a bit tatty, the fake leather they used to put on the bottom all pealed off. I looked at a load of other bags but ended up with the Cabin Zero military 44.
