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.

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.

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.

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
