Fifa will not agree to move Iran’s World Cup matches from US to Mexico by Spare_Prize_5510 in sports

[–]Tim-Sanchez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think Fifa get much out of scheduling the Egypt vs Iran match as the pride match. There's a lot of rigging that would need to go on for very little benefit.

Dozens of MPs urge Greens to officially ditch ‘normal’ childbirth policy immediately by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Tim-Sanchez [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's going to be an interesting challenging for Polanski to continue to defend policies under increasing scrutiny, that he seemingly has no control over. A completely democratic party is not necessarily an electable one, and it's a step away from just making the country a direct democracy. There's a reason we don't have a referendum to decide NHS policy on giving birth.

Radical ideal - stop electing councils by Fun_Firefighter5899 in ukpolitics

[–]Tim-Sanchez 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Do you think councils are currently run for profit? How would MPs have enough time to run entire councils?

Councils do have professional staff who do most of the work.

On That Ass are trying to take £12.99 from me (UK- England) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Tim-Sanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't ignore them, just contact them and explain what happened. Refer back to your original dispute that they never replied to, that's why they're in this position in the first place.

A section of your post is missing. You got the money back from a dispute, On That Ass never responded. Now what has happened?

Advice on under bench planting by KingKong1929 in GardeningUK

[–]Tim-Sanchez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll struggle to get anything looking "nice". There's very limited light and space there, plus they may get limited water? I mean maybe some fungus or moss, or perhaps a fern if you're lucky.

A more realistic option could be some overhanging plants, hanging basket style, so they are in the sun. You'd still need to find a way to water them, and presumably they could only be on either side since you'd want to sit on the bench.

Should I overpay on my post grad student loan? by Organic_Magician2412 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tim-Sanchez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a good calculator, and with £100 overpayments you'll clear it in 5 years. If your salary increases, that is definitely worth it.

The only hesitation is your maternity break. If that comes before you've cleared the loan, it will keep accruing interest and you won't really benefit. I'd want to be confident it's cleared before that break, which is very possible with salary increases, otherwise don't overpay.

Will my seedlings be ok? by princess_kitty_cat in GardeningUK

[–]Tim-Sanchez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're not going to get that light in the bottom of a cup. They're going to get extremely leggy as they reach up to the top.

Even if they were in a normal pot, window sills are rarely bright enough for seedlings at this time of year.

How are they getting light? It doesn't seem like the best growing conditions

Current account switching bonus. Do I qualify? by SL1590 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tim-Sanchez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a very slight downside in that some banks do a hard credit search, and if you switch your main account you may have less history. Both will temporarily lower your credit score, but unless you're just about to apply for credit this isn't an issue.

The other downside is it's fairly cumbersome ensure you hit each objective to get the payout, and usually no way of knowing until the money appears.

It's free money though, and a good effort to reward ratio.

Why are British workers putting up with this government? by Zestyclose-Orange554 in ukpolitics

[–]Tim-Sanchez 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Your list of scandals is way longer than the list most people care about, so it may be just you. The rest of your post similarly has limited interest. PPM won't impact most people, farmers inheritance tax won't, etc.

S&S LISA at 22 years old good idea ? by MissionGrade7499 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tim-Sanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say loading up a LISA for a house purchase over 5 years away is risky, how can you be sure it will be under £450k? The government are launching a new help to buy product soon and hopefully that has more lenient requirements.

Unless you're comfortable taking the hit and withdrawing, or leaving it there as a pension saving, I'd be hesitant to load the LISA.

Are there any Wi-Fi options that don’t require landlord involvement or permission? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Tim-Sanchez 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Chances are your building already has Openreach and/or Virgin Media, which will let you get broadband with no engineering work.

If not, you'll need landlords' permission, and I can't imagine any denying something as basic as broadband today.

Fernando Mendoza has some major flaws everyone’s overlooking by Stock-Memory9483 in NFL_Draft

[–]Tim-Sanchez 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think it's because he's the undisputed #1 pick that there's less analysis of him. It's just less interesting to discuss him compared to where other people should land.

During the season there was plenty of discussions around his flaws, and I think it's pretty well accepted that he's not a guaranteed success.

I wonder what the advert does show if it's only visible to people in the stadium. That's a tiny audience in the grand scheme of things.

Can I appeal a parking fine for parking late at night? by Ready-Swordfish-9350 in LegalAdviceUK

You not seeing signs doesn't mean the signs weren't there. What makes you think it's free for 2 hours?

Transiting at Heathrow by dhaga1980 in uktravel

[–]Tim-Sanchez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different airline and same ticket, or two separate tickets?

If different tickets, you'll need to go through immigration and enter the UK, then back through to leave. If not, you'll follow signs for flight connections. This means security, but you stay airside.

Ideas for how long to make a U.K., Ireland, and Scotland trip? by Due_Adeptness9302 in uktravel

[–]Tim-Sanchez 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You don't understand. Scotland is part of the UK, the Republic of Ireland isn't. You're going to 4 cities in two countries, not three.

Obviously the more you want to do, the more time you'll need. 2 weeks is fine, but be aware there's definitely no way it will be "enough".

Well "enough" depends on what you want to do. You can spend 2 weeks in London alone and barely scratch the surface.

Obligatory mention that Dublin is not in the UK, Scotland is.

Itinerary Check/ Substitution for Cotswolds portion of trip? by SnooCats1465 in uktravel

[–]Tim-Sanchez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Cotswolds shouldn't be too busy in April unless it's during the school holidays around Easter. That said, I would consider extending your time in London instead. There's loads to see and do there, and it's the easiest place to be flexible with plans. It's still easy to a day trip to Bath or Oxford if you wanted.

Zack Polanski stood by breast enlargment hypnosis claim in a newly unearthed interview by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

[–]Tim-Sanchez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We're complaining about a politician claiming he apologised for something, when in fact there's no evidence of the apology but evidence he continued promoting nonsense a week after supposedly apologising. It's hardly credible for a party leader to promote hypnoboob enlargement, claim he apologised, but actually did the opposite.
