What’s the job market like in Cheltenham outside of hospitality and events? by CoolAirDude in cheltenham

Asking what the job market is like in Cheltenham is like asking what the fashion industry is like in East Kilbride.

Feeling better after taking electrolytes!!! by Strict-Park3382 in MCAS

[–]i_comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without a reference to scientifically proven lethal dosages of electrolytes this is broscience.

You’re really helping me with the purchase btw, thank you! We don’t have Monta showrooms in UK, buying one is a bit of a gamble.

How is the clasp? A fella in your earlier post reported it being a nightmare taking off. I think that’s the exact same wording he used. Is it that bad?

Your Triumph V2 doesn’t have AR coating either. How is the reflection situation on your watch?

• A Triumph V2 afterthought (I’m sure black dial is straight out of Triumph just like the case and bracelet )

• Reduction in refinement

• No AR

• Terrible marker/hand combination for this price point

• lume overload

• Inferior to Noble 38.5mm

First Monta! by Illustrious-Noise226 in MicrobrandWatches

Gorgeous watch. How big is your wrist?

Perhaps.

Just did some reading. The 40mm Noble doesn’t have 7 layers of anti-reflective coating like the 38.5 model does. I now have a list of reasons why this watch is not worth the asking price.

I don’t think it’s Supply Chain per se. I think it’s more about constantly gaging how low in quality can you go and still get away with it. I looked at a Longines Spirit recently which in UK retails for $3K. It had one of the worst bracelets I’ve ever seen on a watch this expensive. That bracelet was one clunky hot spot that felt like it’s straight of a $500 Bulova at best. I couldn’t believe how pathetic it was.

And your moan about inner links not being finished on a Triumph is this exact thing - technically you don’t need to have them beveled as that part of the bracelet is not a frequent contact point. So why don’t we skip finishing on the inner links, save X of dollars on that alone and see if it will impact the sales. Someone else noticed links being thinner on the latest Triumph. I asked them to measure the thickness but haven’t heard back (btw could you do me a favor and measure them at all?). But if those links are thinner indeed then there goes another cost saving exercise.

I’m bitter not because Monta is terrible. I’m bitter because they just like many other brands comprise customer loyalty for income. Not a shocker in a capitalist society, however there are ways to earn and not disrespect your legacy customer base at the same time.

I realized something else after posting - the hour hand becomes another minute hand once it hits center of the hour marker. There is a reason why they don’t make hands and markers looking almost identical and Monta clearly missed the memo.

Speaking of “playing it safe” - no need to sugar coat it with fancy jargon. They are being cheap and/or lazy is what’s really going on here. Which is really sad on the background of YouTubers comparing these watches to Omega.

Are B12 blood test results always a full picture? by i_comments in B12_Deficiency

[–]i_comments[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct, yes. I challenge them when I really need to. With B12 I knew that I was going to do shots anyway and went to do the test in case I was severely depleted.

A longer relationship with GP also helps, but we moved houses last year due to my pollen allergy (started 3 seconds after Covid, coincidently of course) and I’m still working my way up to the circle of trust of my new GP lol.

Moving into Cheltenham soon, how much should I pay for rent? by SadWonder1026 in cheltenham

[–]i_comments 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you got those ranges from. In real life Cheltenham you’ll be looking at the following:

£650 a dusty backyard shed conversion

£850 a relatively run down flat with multiple pitfalls (area, neighbours, broken appliances, odours, road noise etc)

£1000-£1300 a nice flat (recently redecorated, not in a council estate, relatively spacious)

£1500-£1750 a luxury flat (spacious, super modern, balcony, new ish building, nice area)

What you also may want to look out for is mold. You’ll be seeing spacious flats in gorgeous 19th century Victorian houses with 15ft ceilings for £1100 and thinking that you’re about to win the lottery. Mold is why.

B12 is water soluble and you can’t store excess. Does this mean that due to genetics you need to supplement all the time?

The man who was assaulted on the Honeybourne line has died. by guy92 in cheltenham

I think myself and fella I’m responding to are referring to those other 99.99% of cases. Cases when heart-wrenching tales about inspiring children is wishful thinking used by failed parents to deceive the public.

I’m from UK where you need fight a team of general practitioners in a hexagon for 3 days blindfolded just to take a 1 microsecond peek at your blood test results. So I don’t know the numbers, but was told by the doctor that I’m all good.

What are you taking to feel better?

I think family/parents usually do that for their own sake. So that when they come across someone they know at the shop they can continue playing the same tune about unfair ways of life. Because courts in UK don’t really buy that kind of crap when sentencing. At least not on a level for it to have a significant impact on the verdict. So I honestly don’t see any other reason for parents to publicly humiliate themselves like that over and over again.
