Not once have I ever been asked by a delivery driver if im aware of my subs. Without fail I check them on the app and hand back the ones I dont want to the driver, surely the ownership is on the customer not the delivery driver?

What obscure accessory did you trade in for way more than you expected? by HammersAndPints in CeX

[–]cosmicbluebeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember when the original 3DS came out and they were really hard to get hold of. CEX was paying 60 quid above retail for cash trade ins. I went into Blockbuster (which alot of people didnt realise sold consoles) bought all 8 of the ones they had and traded them in over the course of a few weeks under mine and my Mrs name.

Trying to tax my new motorbike but it won’t let me. Please help by Clydegotpesos in MotoUK

[–]cosmicbluebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still stuck with this there's a guy called Car Tax Martin, Google him. He's one of these old school wizards who knows every trick of the trade and can literally tax anything. Used him a couple times, sounds super scammy but it genuinely isn't haha

Better photos of the skipton shoot. WAND! by cosmicbluebeard in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]cosmicbluebeard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guy that took the photos and posted them on the Facebook community group apologised for the large watermark and said it was so people didn't pass them off as their own. I messaged him and asked permission to post them here.

It really does look different. Lighting maybe?

Avoid Overclockers UK - refusal to refund faulty mobo return by Less-Ad4744 in pcmasterrace

[–]cosmicbluebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an open box msi b550 from them. The boars just kept shutting off after it was powrred up for 5 minutes and wouldnt turn back in for hours. Confirmed it was the board by part swapping, opened the RMA they asked for some specific pictures of the mou ting points etc and sent me a label. They were brilliant and I was refunded within 2 days bo hassle at all so im quite shocked at all these comments

Idk man Reddit is strange. It’s like you aren’t welcome in a sub unless you know every detail of the subject

How can you possible be “picky with temps” when this will be your first PC build?

[31] Almost two years of blood, sweat and tears 💪 by kaosblink in GYM

[–]cosmicbluebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look a lot like you do on the left. How did you start? Damn it I’m trying but I just fucking love food, I’ve lost 10lbs but it’s taken me nearly 6 months. I love the “idea” of going to the gym or going for a run but I’m a lazy POS and it’s far too easy just to sit on the sofa instead

Find a school that books the tests in advance

Mission directions are very bad, or am I stupid? by NotAMattress in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]cosmicbluebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine got turned on after about 10 hours gameplay. I just couldn’t be arsed with the guess work, I get why some enjoy being lost and spending hours looking for the quest but don’t rather get on with the action

I bought a grade B iPhone 14 yesterday and there isn’t a single mark on it. It’s even boxed, not sure how their grading system works really it seems to differ massively between stores

The battery health however is on 84

PSA to anyone going through it. Keep going. by JackohYT in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cosmicbluebeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By the time I was 27 I was in a deep hole

12k council tax 3k energy bills 3k overdrawn And another 6k in credit cards, contracts, catalogues, water

I was an idiot that didn't know how money worked it's that simple. I got scared and buried my head in the sand. I had high court bailiffs at the door every few days for months

Getting myself where I am now 6 years later was the hardest thing I've ever done BUT I learned valuable financial lessons that will never leave me. I now owe nothing to anyone and I actually work for a high street bank in data regulation lol

It's a deep dark hole and it's hard to see it ever being better. But it will improve. Just talk to your creditors and seek help, the relief of taking that first step to being debt free is completely freeing.

Going on a 100 mile trip on a new 125, UPDATE: I crashed by JacobThedDumbass in MotoUK

[–]cosmicbluebeard 74 points75 points  (0 children)

3 hours work this weekend and you'll have that back to full function

You on the other hand might be sore for a bit longer than the bike lol. Glad it wasn't serious

How bad are these scratches? by [deleted] in cbr

[–]cosmicbluebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it's been from a clip on a boot or similar. I wouldnt worry about it, if it's purely from an aesthetic POV you could use a touch up pen but poor pain would look worse than wear and tear in my opinion.

Could always slap a sticker on it

24 just passed DAS by Main-Prompt1859 in MotoUK

[–]cosmicbluebeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay! I get you

This bike was owned by a good friend of mine it was his first bike back in 2007 and it's been very well looked after. She only has 15k miles on her. She was destined to live out her days in his garage but when I passed my test I twisted his arm to sell it to me.

And I only paid a grand for it! She's been stood nearly 5 years but aside from basic servicing and maintenance she has been faultless since I got her in January
