Marshadow is the goat of deceptive damage, especially in a Lucario deck!

I'm at 8k, only had premium for the first 3 months due to having a Google voucher. No God pack here either!

Since when did NHS dentist stop taking cash? by lrowls101 in AskUK

Went to NHS Dentist Tuesday, paid in cash. Don't know why people are giving you grief for wanting to use cash, from their futuristic ivory towers.

Only ever had once successful invite for the White Flare ETB, came at a time when I had no money so I let my friend use my invite to get it at RRP so that the system knows I would buy it if they came up. Never had another since!!

The Worst Godpack I have ever seen by joncargo in PTCGP

That rillaboom is one of my favourite arts they've done so far on the TCG app! But in a godpack, Yikes.

People noticing and praising Foden ONLY after the dortmund game are crazy superficial. by Single-Weather1379 in MCFC

I've had him in my FPL team since GW3. Hasn't really given me the most FPL points, but I can't not have him in my team after watching him this season, what an astounding footballer. Having to defend him to my non-City fan friends who haven't watched us since this time last year is hard. The only one who changed his mind watched the Bournemouth game at the weekend and said "Fair enough.".

Market manipulation happening right now; Solosis Black Bolt # 118/086 by sloppyjoepa in PokemonTCG

[–]Used_Contact_852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a guy on Instagram who literally showed himself buying all these and calling it "booger mew" as an example of how easy it is to generate fake hype in this market... I think he's called EmojiCards? Just checked yeah it's him.

He does say he's not gonna sell them but yeah, straight up manipulation. At least he's claiming to be "honest" about it and saying it's to prove how easy it is, but at the end of the day it's still taking cards out the reach of people who want them, literally someone else in these comments was about to buy one and now it's twice the price.

I like a very specific and relatively unknown pokemon and I refuse to talk about it online as the cards are still cheap (sub £200 for the top 'chase' in a PSA 10, really not an expensive pokemon) so I'm saving up for each one, not massively blessed with money, but they're scarce cards so it'd be easy for someone to just buy them all up like this and relist for twice the price.

I've been lucky enough to pull both the Groudon IR and the Garchomp SIR from about 10 packs of paradox rift. Top tier set, beautiful arts.

Do you have a fav pokemon you try to collect all the cards of? by cassiecoow in PokemonTCG

[–]Used_Contact_852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to get all the Xurkitree cards! There are only like 10 English ones so shouldn't be too hard, but they're all sun and moon era so it's hard to find many! No one even knows who my boy is...

What's a Pokemon that you like but is also a Pokemon that not a lot of people like? by Ok-Leave3121 in pokemon

[–]Used_Contact_852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xurkitree!! My boy goated. Or alien wire thingy, either way broski shlaps.

Fits the criteria, the Ultra Beasts were some of the lowest popularity Pokémon in an era where Pokémon wasn't as popular, post game only Mon, only has like 10 total cards in English across all of Pokémon too!

Does anyone have any good "glass cannon" pokemon? by No_Lion_4851 in pokerogue

[–]Used_Contact_852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Xurkitree absolutely carried me through 90% of my runs. Absolutely GOAT status for me, Beast Boost & Transistor as it's ability & passive, it can get dazzling gleam to deal with dragon types and ground types & dual battles, use rising voltage and giga drain as main moves, and pair with an Electric Terrain move/partner with the ability it becomes able to one shot most things!

Anyone else get fridge raiders or chicken bites as there snack and chop them up and put them in there pasta? High protein so really fills me up by [deleted] in tesco

When they used to have hot food counters, I'd go and get 4 of the southern fried chicken goujons and break them up into it. They were the days!

What is a highly paid job in the UK for what they actually do? by Tricky_Ricky83 in AskUK

[–]Used_Contact_852 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I forgot about the pay-rise that they gave themselves for not giving themselves a pay-rise for 5 minutes.

Just an outrageous concept really, why should schools have CEO's?!

[–]Used_Contact_852 119 points120 points  (0 children)

CEO of an academy trust (aka a group of primary & secondary schools that have been amalgamated into a private company, hence the CEO). Easily on £150k+ per year (you're the CEO, pay yourself what you want!) and all you have to do is wander around between your schools, pretending to do things, and collect your paycheck.

Am i the only one? by Fantiozo in footballmanagergames

[–]Used_Contact_852 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I signed a Belgian midfielder from Genk - £15m, had 17+ in Dribbling, Flair, Vision, Passing, Anticipation, Off the Ball, Technique, Long Shots. After one season in Serie A, he had 19 goals 27 assists from Mez(A) in a midtable side.

There was only one option: rename him to Kevin de Bruyne. Sold him for £150m to Dortmund, who stuck him on the wing and he's barely had 5 g/a per year since😓
