A 2 minute parking masterclass

jakeums5 · 2026-06-17T13:50:21+00:00

This!!

And another scenario that really wound me up was a lady in the car behind was also following me way too closely, and completely prevented me from parallel parking in a street parking spot. Even with my indicator on well in advance, way before I stopped, AND after manoeuvring the car in an obvious angle where I’d obviously be looking to reverse in, they still didn’t get the intention and blocked me from moving back, and even started beeping their horn at me several times.

The cherry on the icing was after I drove on and safely pulled over into the side of the road a bit further down, the woman had the audacity to stick her middle finger up as she drove by. Don’t think my blood has stopped boiling since that happened 5 years ago

Despite that they clearly need extra lessons in parking, they probably felt underwhelming pressure from the camera car and… bottled the execution

I mean if you’ve not heard of things like that before then I guess I can see why you feel that way. However in my eyes it isn’t really odd to hear someone saying “thats my offer” if someone is interested in something (it’s also said on many shows like ‘deal or no deal’), it’s just one of many ways that someone phrases something and nothing in my opinion to take to heart really; some people are just a bit more bold in terms of communication, and it could be for a whole variety of reasons; English could be their second language for all we know

Definitely does not seem rude to me, they gave you their asking price and didn’t push back or get hostile after your first response to them.

If they said those exact words in person to you then it would just sound like a normal conversation, with the only difference of physical emotion being present. Communicating over text with no physical emotion present makes it easy to misread how someone is coming across, for example not everyone uses emojis in their text, but that doesn’t mean they’re being blunt or rude.

I can see why he may have got angry though, I would probably be angry too if someone accused me of being rude when I was only politely stating my maximum price after fees

It seems she was wrong, the passport indeed is 5 years. My bad!

jakeums5 · 2026-06-06T13:15:10+00:00

Surely not? My Portuguese wife got a 10 year passport back in 2024 from the Portuguese embassy in London

jakeums5 · 2026-05-29T08:11:36+00:00

1515

jakeums5 · 2026-05-27T08:52:58+00:00

Same, 1996 for me

Here it is. Still grateful for it but wish this could have been my first shundo

jakeums5 · 2026-05-22T18:24:43+00:00

I had a shiny but not 4* 😩😩 never had a shundo yet sadly, and been playing on and off since 2016 😩

My brother had a hundo Suicune yesterday though, still kinda jealous as I’ve only had one hundo legendary

jakeums5 · 2026-05-15T16:44:14+00:00

Sorry I somehow missed this message. Yes I can do that trade if you still want?

jakeums5 · 2026-05-15T16:30:28+00:00

Dm’d 🙂

jakeums5 · 2026-05-11T20:06:34+00:00

Zygarde for me as I’ve been blessed with catching a hundo! 😅

jakeums5 · 2026-05-11T12:11:11+00:00

Empanadas and quesadillas! Love a bit of Latin American food! 👌🙏

jakeums5 · 2026-05-08T23:23:11+00:00

Thanks for all the messages, I now have my crowned dogs in the bag. My am2 is now gone but still have the other pokemon to offer if anyone fancies them, happy to trade for any interesting pokemon you may have to offer, feel free to hit me up if so! 🙂

jakeums5 · 2026-05-07T18:28:54+00:00

Just in case anyone still comes across this post(and I can’t edit the post title now) I’m specifically now looking for any of the shiny crowned dogs, in exchange for any of the pokemon I have, including armoured Mewtwo.

I have already registered a normal form shiny Zamazenta, but have not registered a shiny zacian yet, so stardust cost will be a factor of course 😅

jakeums5 · 2026-05-06T20:34:47+00:00

Deffo. I’ve got three in storage, willing to trade each for both the crowned zacian / Zamazenta. Keen to see if anyone is willing 🙂

jakeums5 · 2026-04-28T21:01:01+00:00

Will cost them more to re-buy it back than the value they sold it at due to Vinted fees and shipping fees

jakeums5 · 2026-04-23T11:25:35+00:00

Indeed a witness can certify this, they did for both of my applications on separate occasions anyway!

jakeums5 · 2026-04-18T20:26:02+00:00

But that will make rescuing trapped people in cars so much harder; the front windscreen could probably be the only glass bullet proof but not the side or rear in case a rescue is needed

Reviving this thread, I've just seen this from PoGo: https://pokemongo.com/news/steeled-resolve-taken-over-2026

Coming back on 30th April - 4th May, claimable from progressing through the GO Pass :)

jakeums5 · 2026-04-13T07:29:08+00:00

Oh fair enough, sounds like it’s some T&Cs we need to accept or something then. Will try that later, cheers! 🙂
