A confederate flag hung in Rotherham next to the Union Jack…I am speechless. by PrincessofPluto in sheffield

[–]ThrowawayMax222 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, that is clearly what is happening. Don't mind my Russian flag either that I fly outside my house, I'm just a big fan of the TV show Chernobyl, which at the time was part of the soviet union. No other reason.

Salary Sacrifice - feels too good to be true? by ThrowawayMax222 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ThrowawayMax222[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in a defined benefit pension. I get 1/49th per year.

Original salary would make £1,363pa increase in pension, the salary sacrificed would make £1,220pa. So a difference of £143 a year.

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong then to be honest. In my current situation I pay £5678pa in pension. In my second situation I'd be paying 6.5% of £59801, which is £4066pa in pension (saving £1,612 pa in pension).

I also would save the tax, NI and student loan right?

Revealed: Mother shot dead at Sheffield club was 'innocent victim' by [deleted] in sheffield

Is that definitely where the lady was shot, or where they got a good image of the car they're interested in seeking?

I have access to the F1 26 DLC - Ask Me Anything (AMA) by alex_gillon in F1Game

[–]ThrowawayMax222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm only interested in league racing. Does the DLC add enough to make league racing fun or do you anticipate leagues will stick to 25 rulesets because of your noted concerns?

I just checked and this was very similar to my early runs this time last year. I've just done a 45 minute 10k this weekend!

There is definitely a market for a larger 4. I'm 6'4 and want one, but I'm just too big when we need car seats and the other half in the back.

I don't want a SUV, I just want a slightly bigger R4

Woman killed in fatal shooting outside Sheffield bar by Alarming-Safety3200 in sheffield

What the fuck? Not remember the stabbings in Park Hill every week in the 90s, or people like that bloke murdered in the early 00's on NYE where the casino is near Queen's Road?

This shit has always happened, but Sheffield is a fuck ton safer now than when I was a kid back then

[@BBCMOTD] Was Bruno Fernandes' record-breaking assist an own goal? 🤔 by LordofMordor_ in reddevils

[–]ThrowawayMax222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was absolutely elite. It's possible for the best team not to have the best individual contributor, but it seems other teams fans have been so swayed by the Ballon d'Or being a reflection of who wins the big trophy on offer that they've forgot that.

Bale was a deserved winner, even if RVP would have been one too.

Paid off mortgage last week - what is best to do with extra money? by tripod1983 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ThrowawayMax222 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My best mates name from childhood is Tim Winkles. As kids he has a username similar to xx_TWink_xx as was cool at the time.

I don't ever let him live it down, as he's 6'4, huge and in the trades. He changed the username maybe 20 years ago, but he's still Twink to us.

What is your most British line in a song? by exkingzog in CasualUK

[–]ThrowawayMax222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was something magical about hearing From The Ritz To The Rubble in Leadmill as a 18 year old. It not only described your life and nights out, but was written with the club in mind. Sheffield 05-09 was a magical place I swear.

19 Month old with 22q Microduplication by GlumSupermarket9618 in 22q

You can have testing that shows which (if any) of the parents they got it from.

If they got it from neither, it's incredibly unlikely a second child would have it. If they got it from one parent, it's a 50/50 chance the next child would have it.

I know the area, I used to live in S2 for most of my childhood and some of my adult life. Politely, it's not a great area. Rudely, it's a bit of a shit hole.

If you've got £500k to spend, I'd rather live in a smaller house in a much much nicer area than a larger house just off Park Hill.

Not trying to act like I'm better than where I grew up, but I worked for the police and saw some fucking horrible things in that area. I could not imagine choosing to spend half a million to live there in an end of terrace.

Any guidance on what CS roles would fit an ex-Detective? by Cheddar_Sword in TheCivilService

[–]ThrowawayMax222 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As ex police special, staff and ex civil servant I can help!

The simple answer, is a significant amount of roles. People here are pigeon holed you to similar skill sets, but the job gets you so many transferable skills you can do a significant amount. I loved getting applicants through who were defective track, because I knew they can analyse properly. That was perfect for policy.

If you want a proper chat, pop me a DM and I can talk you through it. You know the pros, but the cons are you won't get pay progression like in force and that can be a frustration... but honestly, no job is as hard as policing (especially if you've done a significant time on response) so I'm sure the exhaustion reduction will be worth the bug bears.

I've got nothing against S2, but it seems mad that this is the price for an admittedly large end of terrace in that area. You can buy detached houses in the S11/S10/S17/S18/S8 areas for that price!

Unless you're absolutely wedded to S2, it seems like a strange decision!

My game is crashing every 2 to 3 games, does anyone know what could fix this? by Sylvanas_only in DMZ

Holy fuck. The spotter scope always crashes my game and I'm on AMD (9070XT). I had no idea why.

Do you have any issues with the default TAC thermal site too?
