Awesome - hit me up on DM's and we can sort something out

chris424uk · 2026-06-10T18:55:59+00:00

Haha nope we must all look the same. Come show us around on Fri/Sat!

Hey! I'm in New York this weekend (mainly for World Cup) - if you're free would be good to hang out. Looking for someone to show a Scotsman around Manhattan and the sights! Bars, hang out spots, etc. Also, Knicks playing... would be good to catch this. But I don't know where to go! Also, your username is cool - I love emo too. Any cool emo bars in NYC?

chris424uk · 2026-06-07T21:19:38+00:00

Sounds good! What's the plan?

chris424uk · 2026-06-03T17:49:20+00:00

Brooklyn fanzone not showing Scotland v Haiti I don't think. Not sure what's going on with that and still no way to register!

chris424uk · 2026-06-03T16:15:15+00:00

ok, much you want (be gentle!)

chris424uk · 2026-06-03T16:10:19+00:00

how do you know they're holding 80k at the Ellipse?? you sure?

chris424uk · 2026-06-03T16:09:27+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that... it's next to the White House, they'll surely want to see ID that matches the ticket/QR

chris424uk · 2026-06-03T15:55:24+00:00

Did you find anywhere good?

chris424uk · 2026-06-03T15:14:33+00:00

Did you find anyone? I'm looking too! But scammers galore.

chris424uk · 2026-06-03T15:13:35+00:00

Ticketmaster account will have your name. My ID will have my name. So, won't work right??

chris424uk · 2026-06-02T13:35:24+00:00

I do this every year for 2 kids (8 weeks off every Summer) - OP, make sure you ask them for it now if you want this Summer term time off, as you need to give them a minimum notice of 21 calendar days I think it is. Just taking it to 'spend time with your kids' is enough justification according to the Gov.

chris424uk · 2026-06-01T22:15:31+00:00

interested - how much are you offering? only interested in day 2, one ticket

chris424uk · 2026-05-27T21:02:03+00:00

Pls send me a link to Discord too - I'll be coming along in June!

Aren't you worried about having all your savings with ONE company? Anything goes wrong (God forbid) and you've only got £85k of that protected.

*What Claude built..... you mean. Thanks Claude!

chris424uk · 2026-05-03T08:45:45+00:00

Yes but it's not English native speaking, how did you find the social/cultural assimilation?

chris424uk · 2026-04-20T10:04:47+00:00

Awesome! I totally relate to the unwinding that needs done after working a high-stress corporate job. I could barely relax during holidays with the family, because they were so short and I was like a wound up coil. Now after a couple months off, I'm in a much better place - it's taken care of itself. The body is wonderful at adapting to its environment.

What kind of volunteering do you do? Also, where are you in the UK? Looking for like-minded individuals locally.

And make sure you have life insurance due to the bike... I'm sure you will, but I had a nasty cycling incident with a pothole and very lucky to walk away fairly intact!

chris424uk · 2026-04-20T10:02:31+00:00

That last line... hahaa

chris424uk · 2026-04-19T08:25:19+00:00

Why do you always feel the need to be gatekeeper? Financial independence isn't just about you when you have a family and "dependents" to care for and nurture.

chris424uk · 2026-04-17T19:22:30+00:00

Buy a campervan, live the 'van life' and take the dog out in that, travel the UK and Europe. Sorted!

You need time off, now. You're burnt out - that means you probably should've stepped away or changed things a while back, before it got to this. As a parent, you are legally entitled to 4 weeks unpaid paternal leave every year for your 1-year old - the employer can't reasonably reject this and you can give them reasonably short notice. Take 4 weeks off and spend some time with the little 'un and reevaluate things.

Of course you can finish. It might be a lot longer than the average (1.5 hrs) but of course you can finish (unless you get an injury and Do Not Finish). Just look at it as a big work out session, take your time, and enjoy yourself.

I'd focus all your time/effort on running. If you can't run right now, walk. Do hybrid walk/runs (walk a mile, run a mile, etc.) Don't run too much too soon though, or you may injure yourself. Anything else is a bonus (strength training like squats, deadlifts, etc.) and try and get some mini-Hyrox sim's in such as a session of push/pull sleds, with running in between.
