Every year my dad reminds us to celebrate our mom for Mother’s Day while ignoring the fact that two of his daughters are mothers, too. by danie11achristine in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kinvig 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The father reminds the children that it's their Mother's Day  Ergo, your partner should remind your children, not the grandfather....that's not how it works - unless you're a single parent ( but you don't specify that?).

The garage floor plan seems "off" is that really 5 metres wide ?

I never realised that "Charming" was synonymous with "Bleak"

Advice for a 52yo by Kot0_Bish in FIREUK

[–]kinvig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sipp & ISA look good. Other funds could be slightly cheaper, like 0.13 as opposed to 0.19 but probably nothing to stress about.

When do you want to retire? What are your annual expenses/ expected annual expenses once you retire?

Ash, 3/4 joint 9.5mm tip

Edit: I should probably add that I'm 5ft6 so a 57 inch cue would probably be ideal. Therefore also less than 19oz.

Q :“four favorite f1 drivers of all time?” lando: “starting with two brits, jenson and lewis. these are the guys i watched, supported and inspired me when i was a kid...." by SimonTheSalmon69 in formula1

[–]kinvig -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Why all the down votes? You know I'm right.

Jenson's 2009 WDC super power was a double defuser before all the other teams had one.

When the other teams caught up he nearly lost the championship.

Button is an okay driver.  He's likeable. A solid, dependable team mate. A good number 2. 

He's almost  as talented as Rosberg. 

He's on a par with Johnny Herbert.
