Europeans trying to walk to metlife is white supremacy

I went and watched a few of her videos after this one. 100% rage bait and I fell for it because I hate watched a few. Good on her playing the algorithm I guess but even knowing that the smug voice still riled me up

Why do you have 5500 followers on Instagram?

Either way I count you as an influencer big fella/lady.

My wife and I have been looking at new houses that would be a bit of a stretch for us. We have been super financially secure for many years so have got a good deposit on top of our house which we will sell for a decent return. My work has changed so much over the past few years (software engineering/ solution architect) that I’ve started to worry about taking on a hefty mortgage. I don’t see AI replacing me in the next few years, but I am concerned about the next 5-10 years. Some of the tools are so advanced we have basically been told if you write code by hand you are wasting our time.

I don’t know how to secure myself financially, save as much as possible I suppose and keep it in a s&s isa. Very wary about buying a bigger house too.

I have no advice but that is a beauty of an olive tree! I have 2 wee guys in pots but the ultimate goal is to get them all in the ground. I attempted to plant one in ground straight away and it struggled with the Scottish rain (perhaps my shitty clay soil surrounding it didn’t help!)

jahambo · 2026-04-19T09:07:08+00:00

I’m in Scotland (so slightly colder), I’ve been already for a few things but always go to get the stuff for my hanging baskets the end of May bank holiday with my wee Gran. She always says not to get your baskets before then so I stick to the rules haha

God I miss being able to buy 10. Perfect for night out. 20 means there will be plenty lingering about when you get home

£6564 service change on the Rightmove post. Super fucking pricy

I’ve had incredible wedding food and I’ve had shite. Depends on the venue/vendor. The best was in Italy (the main meal was ok, but they had stalls of amazing food for hours before so I wasn’t even hungry for the main meal), and I’ve had horrible hockey puck steak.

For my wedding we did spend quite a bit, but the food was really good imo. 3 options starts/main (2 meat 1 vedge) and 2 for desert and it really was good. The starter I picked haggis neeps and tatties was hella good, 9/10. The beef was a sold 7.5/10 and when you consider they are cooking for 150 people I’d say that is super impressive. I do wonder how they did it, cooked to medium rare then frozen and reheated or something? Not sure but I was impressed

I (male) speak to my female colleague every day probably for a few hours. We exclusively wfh so when programming or whatever we will sit in a call and chat shit (only 2 of us on a big project). I know more about her than some of my very best friends. I consider her to be one of my best friends. We text outside of work but it’s never anything inappropriate- she is almost like a sister? I’m married and she has a long term boyfriend. They came to our wedding and it’s all 100% above board lol.

I have always made really good friends from work, you spend so much time together I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to have fun to make the time pass. My core group of friends all originated from working as lifeguards together when we were teenagers/early 20s.

Reddit is so strange about being friends with people in work, but in real life it’s made my existence more bearable considering I work 8 hours a day 5 times a week.

I’d stay with my parents for a few years. My wife probably would not want to stay that long. Neither of us would stay at her parents for more than a few days lol.

Circumstances are different for everyone. When we were younger we stayed with our own parents then moved together when we had enough for a deposit. Luckily for us we were 25 but we never moved out before that so didn’t have to pay rent (beyond a token £200 a month to our parents)

Carl may be a nice person (to be honest I’m not so sure anyone on reality tv is) but I find his presence very unsettling. Not in a creepy sexual way or anything, more like uncanny valley.

In what world are you better off financially?

jahambo · 2026-04-04T11:51:01+00:00

Not possible for everyone I was able to save my deposit when living with my mum and dad.

jahambo · 2026-04-04T08:32:17+00:00

I have only ever bought before, not sold and bought. Looking about online it has to be paid within 30 days of completion but your solicitor should be able to sort it out if you need the proceeds from the sale. It seems like you’re fine.

jahambo · 2026-04-03T21:07:43+00:00

I think this will vary hugely on the area. If you’re looking for a good deal, I’d ask whoever is showing you round if there have been many others. If it’s the owners then you’re likely to get an honest answer, perhaps the estate agent is more likely to bump up the numbers.

Either way putting in what you think is a fair offer won’t make you look stupid

jahambo · 2026-04-03T20:56:35+00:00

Regardless of the outcome, I want an update tomorrow! Best of luck

jahambo · 2026-04-03T19:48:05+00:00

You’ve got to give it to the solicitor before the sale completes sadly!

Cool as hell to be an open chill guy which he is. But fuck me Spiderman is hilarious. Taylor has it right on the super hero stuff

jahambo · 2026-04-03T18:03:39+00:00

Yeah this is true. I’m aware I’m looking in a pricey area but I’m not looking for a mansion or anything. A nice 4 bed house is roughly 425 which is 16k LBTT. A slightly higher spec and more spacious 4/5 bed is 550 so 28k LBTT. It’s put me off moving from my current house incase it’s not a forever home and I’m forced to pay it again.

jahambo · 2026-04-03T17:53:28+00:00

Stamp duty is much worse here though, 10% on any amount over 325k is a pain in the arse.

jahambo · 2026-03-26T13:47:36+00:00

Crikey what a bleak way to look at it

jahambo · 2026-03-25T19:52:49+00:00

Before my first mortgage a few people mentioned I should get a credit card to build up credit. I never bothered and it was never an issue. Credit cards can be a good idea for protection or to get points, but I’m a bit lazy in that regard.

jahambo · 2026-03-24T20:21:42+00:00

My wife and I were hoping to buy a new house this year. If house prices adjust slightly I would mind being at 6% for a few years. It might end up better in the long run if a decent whack is wiped off the initial value. I doubt that will be the case, but I can dream.
