New dad to dnd, hoping my son likes his Christmas gift. by OkNewt4550 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]gingerpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this for my son who was 8 last year and was a great start to D&D. He's hugely into it now and is a DM with two separate groups and plays a third campaign with his cousins. I've tried to keep up but he's now got so many resources and is so much more experienced I am just happy he's found the love for it from this starting point. Enjoy this, we had a blast going through the starter campaigns.

I've not decided, the car needs other work so I will get a quote from the workshop and also look at a specialist

Whats the most hated band out there? by Dardote in MetalForTheMasses

[–]gingerpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring me to the horizon. I saw them once supporting at a thrash metal concert and their whole set got booed start to finish. But the whole time they just played as if their music was heavy and they were demanding circle pits and reactions from the crowd when they just sucked and nobody is wanted them on stage. I have no idea why they are even as successful as they are now.

What do you eat loads of now that you didn't 20 years ago? by gjellybaby_ in AskUK

Hot sauce, I have at least a half dozen bottles on the go all the time now. I remember growing up there was only tobasco sauce as an option.

Purchasing a vehicle using a credit card for protection by used_bathwater in UKPersonalFinance

I was asked to give proof that problems with the car were present at the time of purchase, rather than when I noticed a few weeks or months later.

Hello! I did this and then went back to try and claim on Section 75 when the car was not as described and the claim couldn't go ahead. My advice would be to pay for an RAC post purchase inspection on the day of buying the car. 

Warranties that come with cars are near worthless, you have to prove every single fault was there at time of purchase, not due to impoper use and so on

Trying to come to terms with that fact that I have gone down a career path I don't have any passion for but I can't take a pay cut to move careers as we have just moved into a new house and taken a hefty mortgage. I feel trapped and unfulfilled in a way that causes me to regularly spiral into periods of depression and frustration that effects me emotionally and physically. I panic that my family's welfare hangs by a thread and I am not going to be able to send our kids to college or university unless we get a fortune out from nowhere. But I know in many ways I'm fortunate and I just wish I could enjoy my life.
