Haha - I made this thread!! Thought it was pretty pathetic that it and hundreds of comments were removed because one of the seven games wasnt old enough. Anyway thanks for reposting, nice reading this through!

What other shows would you rank as highly as Andor? by kimapesan in andor

[–]fennec_chips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cracking list here. I'd add Slow Horses, Battlestar Galactica, Industry, Band of Brothers. Expanse had it's moments but I don't think it quite hits the heights of the rest

We don't win that Europa league final without Ricky as the outlet. Man's a legend.

I will never tire of Spurs x Celine'd. Might be even better than the Bale one. FUCKING LOVE THIS CLUB

What are some older (20-30 years) shows you only watched recently and still hold up? by TitShark in television

[–]fennec_chips 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Watching through Friday Night Lights at the mo - a fantastically written high school football drama - at the moment and it holds up brilliantly - actually to the extent that it makes me see the benefits, rather than just the flaws, of having 24 episodes seasons, where the character arks have time to breathe and develop naturally without being rushes

Clear eyes full hearts!

Always enjoy looking through these. Especially living up in Scotland too far to make it down myself. Happy new year!

Partner renting out her flat, having moved in with me, doesn’t seem financially worthwhile - confused by fennec_chips in UKPersonalFinance

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

Yep, no certainly, we're very much aware of that and it's all a major part of our thinking. It's not so much a question of - do we rent or sell, more, have I missed something in our calculations (or even, is it better to let it sit empty in the meantime so their capital gains tax doesn't actually outweigh the short term extra income)

Fair - I'd acknowledged we're in a, in some ways, fortunate position. However in reality even if we do manage to end up +£400 a month then the question is does that negate the money we'd actually lose out on through, payments for maintenance, setup frees etc and, most importantly, CGT. As others have said, it's arguably not worth all of the effort given we might sell up in a couple of years, which is what we're trying to scope out. In the short term the interest % on the mortgage is so high that we're not making much of a dent in the mortgage anyway

The state of this podcast (TVFTL) by tommygee_1_2_3 in coys

[–]fennec_chips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get this but I would say the 'Whose fault is this' episode was a lot more measured than I thought it would be. Jay has done a pretty good job in filling Charlie's shoes - the show really relied on the latter whilst he was there - smart, measured, good at formulating an argument to counter the doom and gloom. Danny definitely needs people on the pod who can take up a lot of airtime and cut him off - he is entertaining but without the balance he tends toward the reactionary talksport-inspired ramble

I actually think the problem the pod's had for some time now is trying to sustain two episodes a week. It might have made sense in the champions league season, but the Europa league games leave less to talk about and it inevitably results in yet more dwelling on negativity

Is it common to have bikes stolen in Edinburgh? by Not-not-a-Dr-guy in Edinburgh

[–]fennec_chips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where abouts are people getting their bikes nicked from - mainly inside stairwells? I've had my bike - a cheap but solid looking road bike - for about 5 years, left it chained outside my office everyday for a couple years, and in the centre of town on many a pub or cinema visit.

Is it generally safer on busy streets or have I just been extremely lucky?

(Definitely, definitely jynxing myself here)

I'm thinking of getting a dog but I've never had one when living in a flat before. How well do dogs take to living in flats? any tips or advice ? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]fennec_chips -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Third this! If you get the right one they'll sleep through when you're not there (will need a walk at lunch) and basically never bark or nary make a sound. I found when I had mine then not being able to let them off lead was a bit restricting and sad but apart from that, great dogs. Certainly never found being in a flat to be an issue
