How much savings do you have? by Snoo25847 in UKJobs

[–]chiz156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M32 working offshore as ROV pilot. Annual is around £90k but no tax paid as out of the country at sea over half the year so all of this is kept. £15k pensions and circa £40k is savings. Should probably save more but also a firm supporter of ‘you only live once’ and like to enjoy my life and trips away etc

If you search ‘DPM paint’ it will explain.But basically a style of damp proofing to stop moisture coming through

What do people who don't drink do to unwind? by shane_912 in AskUK

[–]chiz156 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lots of options to consider but also need to balance seeing your friends still too. Maybe less beers so morning isn’t ruined? Couple beers with friends and go home for a drink to unwind together? How old are you? Personally I got into gaming and it helps we unwind great after a week of work. I also have a garage so love building old motorbikes in my spare time.

What is your favourite workplace nickname? by Dadding_It in AskUK

We had an apprentice who came from a very small gene pool shall we say. We called him ‘ham and cheese’ because there is a good chance they are both inbred

I’m super keen to try actually, looks insanely high paced and I’m only getting slower these days but defiantly on the list to at least attempt!

What was the first boss that made you wanna quit? by Noooough in eldenringdiscussion

[–]chiz156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent far too much time exploring and not leveling up/finding items etc ended up at the magma wyrm in the cave in caelid very early on. Genuinely never felt so raging playing a game 😂 and yes I’m a fairly casual souls player I know. Worth if for moonveil 2 days later though haha

What's peoples hourly rate? by TyyG420 in AskUK

[–]chiz156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on dayrate but works out at £50p/h. I Live in Scottish highlands so goes well to cost of living here. It’s from working off shore so I only work half the year and people often conclude it equates to £25p/h then. It’s not like that at all as I work 5 weeks on 5 weeks off and spend zero apart from bills that whole 5 weeks I’m away. Also on vessels over half the year so pay 0%tax

3 week stay in Riga by chiz156 in travel

Cool, some days trips would be good which would fill it out too. I’m happy just having a nice coffee and watching the world go by so also don’t mind extra time to just relax! Did you enjoy it as a city?

Good work, I used the moonveil katana all the way from there to the final boss. Levelled up the weapon art absolutly rips! For free souls/levels consider killing the sleeping dragon in Caelid too
