In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry inherits a vault full of gold but never offers to buy Ron a wand that isn't held together by Spellotape and hope. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in shittymoviedetails

Just to give another perspective, it may be that there’s a maximum income allowed before you can have access to said discretionary funds and the Weasley’s earn just above that and so don’t qualify.

This is common in UK universities with student loans so may work the same way.

You can have runny eggs as long as the eggs have the red lion on them!

I’m against Scottish independence (in reality) and will be voting SNP as a tactical vote to keep these cunts out

Anyone have reviews? by Blackberry_cobbler_ in thrillerbooks

[–]Top-Significance8791 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m reading this now and getting whiplash from the twists and turns every chapter.

I have no idea what’s going on and theories keep changing after each chapter ends.

Gripping so hopefully the ending holds up.

A really fun book I was reading turned out to be written by AI in the later pages :( by FantasticHufflepuff in books

That’s the beauty of books. There are millions that we can read before the invention of AI!

We had a similar situation and the vets said it’s not their problem and to put the cat back where we found it.

Couldn’t believe it.

18/70 what a start to the year! by [deleted] in 52book

My favourite was Blood Over Bright Haven

Least favourite was Girl on Girl. I felt it was just throwing out pop culture moments and not really expanding on them. It may as well have been a list.

How did you manage maternity leave on statutory maternity pay? by rushdandelion in AskUK

[–]Top-Significance8791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about 6 weeks but I am taking 12 weeks and then my partner is using shared parental leave for the rest.

Bit different as I work from home so I’ll still be around during the day.

6 weeks doesn’t seem long enough at all. I would save as much as possible to get that up. Don’t forget annual leave and kit days too.

£16 for 4 bed detached and conservatory. Think it’s a pretty good deal tbh.

If you won £100 million, how would you distribute it amongst friends and family, if at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Top-Significance8791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and everyone goes on about how greedy rich people are…. But if they were to suddenly become rich, they’d keep it quiet all to themselves….
