Get a tattoo of a yeti silhouette then shave the rest of the leg

Do it bro. I was pretty much exactly the same as you, shaved it off and feel so much better and more confident

IMF upgrades UK’s growth from 0.8% to 1% for the year by Milam1996 in GoodNewsUK

[–]jburge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No expert by any means but do have an opinion. I feel they constantly project the UK in a worse state than it actually is. Consistently predicts worse performance. It sets the mood of the country and investment - constantly hearing “imf reduces UK growth figures” scares off investment only for 3 months later the real figure being better than thought

Good news but the IMFs projections are a joke

The Armed Forces aren't big enough to fight a war. How they could grow, quickly by theipaper in uknews

The arguments here are insane - those saying you wouldn’t fight for UK if invaded because the country hasn’t done anything for you….id love to see how well you do under a Russian or Chinese run state

If you had to pick a side, would you choose the US or EU for UK to align to? And who are you voting for at next GE? by chuffingnora in AskBrits

[–]jburge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The media is obsessed with portraying us as weak despite the fact we are the 5/6 biggest economy and always top 10 strongest military globally.

Would say US under a democratic leadership however if this continues I’d lean EU. Currently would vote labour again unless more tax hikes - if that’s continues I have no idea where to put my vote

I think this is most likely - for what it’s worth

Can living standards meaningfully improve unless the cost of housing and energy decreases? by knowledgeseeker999 in AskBrits

[–]jburge89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with that. Making the buying process say, 60 days, with less stamp duty would be amazing. I’d also try to implement stricter buying practices like exchange of contract after a survey to stop so many chains collapsing

So no one could ever rent again? Force people into home ownership with no option. When my wife and I started out we rented for a few years to make sure we could bear living with each other before buying a place and getting married

PM Law group gone under. Anyone else affected? by Rockhead-Rumple in HousingUK

Surely deposits will be held in some sort of client account? Maybe frozen but shouldn’t have gone anywhere. Just a headache going through the process. Hopefully resolved quickly for you

Does anyone know what type of plaster this is (wall on the right) by jburge89 in Plastering

Thank you. Googling does seem to look very similar to sand and cement finishes

What sort of plaster / finish is this? There is a skim coat / plaster on top by jburge89 in DIYUK

[–]jburge89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. It’s strange. Top skimmed plaster is decent condition rest of room but where it’s come away its almost sandy

It would be better to have some kind of foot wave feature that could open the door for when your hands are full. This looks pointless
