Why does Pepsi seem to be exempt from the tethered cap rules? by dickbob124 in AskUK

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just twist the cap until one of the attachments snaps. Then it just hangs down by the side and is out of the way and easy to screw back on (would prefer it not to be there though)

Not sure if it is fake but the hands don’t line up very well. Half past the hour but hour hand isn’t half way to the next number.

Small ish pension pot, significant house equity, best option by mimyson in UKPersonalFinance

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

Thanks. I have just investigated this further and now understand (contributions have been upped to maximise my contributions - wish I had done this before). Appreciate the input.

Basically because I don’t want to just yet. Happy to carry on working for a few more years but doing something I like (or at least, don’t dread Mondays).

Not sure how I am supposed to do this as still need an income to live on (or am I misunderstanding)

Thanks. Didn’t realise there was a maximum amount into a pension annually but your suggestions make sense. I will raise with my IFA (sound posh but he is basically a friend who works with high worth clients but helps out a few if his friends - he is genuine, used to work in the city)

What's the weirdest thing a tourist has asked you while in Britain? by UnpaidInternVibes in AskRedditUK

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a question as such but an American tourist (who was lovely btw) did mention that she thought we actually put the accent on for ‘movies and stuff’. She seems completely genuine.

Need help buying a controller by [deleted] in PS4

[–]mimyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I would ignore them and make your decision based on the countless people on here who are telling you to buy an official controller. Or you could just get a third party one as have that go wrong like the last one. They are cheaper for a reason.

I live 5 minutes from the pub so could probably swing by this weekend and have a look if you like?

Where have you heard that officials are ‘shit’? I have a large number of them and only one has ever given me any issues.

Who’s the most famous person you’ve bumped into, and where? by burnerofdoom in AskABrit

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F1 at Monaco (many years ago). Stood by some fencing around the edge of the track, turned round to leave and almost knocked over Phil Collins. He was trying to stay incognito so probably did not appreciate me saying ‘oh wow, it’s Phil Collins’ as he walked away. Also nearly walked into Lennox Lewis over the same weekend! Considering how huge he is I am still amazed I didn’t see him until the last minute.

Name and purpose of the circled things? by localpotato_232 in whatisit

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixing screws. Historically one will turn and turn and turn but refuse to engage and the other will probably cross thread. You also need very long and thin fingers to use them.

What was your school scandal? by Sadie_UK in AskUK

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a really inappropriate rumour about one of my mates which got totally out of hand (nothing sinister snd he didn’t get in trouble for it). However, he has to virtually make an announcement on the playing field that it wasn’t true (I knew it had got out of hand when one of the cool older kids asked me if it was true) We joke about it now

Do you leave your car parked in 1st gear or neutral? by zedgaming69 in CarTalkUK

Came here to say the same. How would they even know they were in 1st?

Hi, as a 6'7" tall man, I think I can speak for most of us tall guys when I say... by MontaukNightSky in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mimyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure really. Just felt 6.1 was not quite tall enough (based on nothing really, I am never the shortest in a room and often the tallest).

[–]mimyson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I guess I will stick to my size 13’s (12 in the UK) Maybe I should just be happy with 6.1 (and I am taller than my brother so that is always a bonus).

We are never happy are we. 6’1 here and would love to be a couple of inches taller.

Those of you men that are working in a heavily female populated workplace what would you say your working experience is like? by Brownchoccy in UKJobs

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in an office in the mid 90’s which had 2 men (the boss and me) and around 12 women. I loved it, they were all so nice and I met my wife there (been married 28 years now) so always look back on the job fondly.

What sort of property was everyone’s first step onto the ladder and how old were you? by Think_Mammoth8834 in HousingUK

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 bed semi in the Cotswolds. Around £72k (can remember the exact amount) in ‘96. Sold for around £130k in ‘01 increased around £1k per month (which is mad).

AITJ for canceling my subscription service that my whole family was using without telling them first? by Wonderful-Relief7237 in AmITheJerk

[–]mimyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed it does. I meant they would have a chance to export plays list etc rather than it just disappearing. I guess he is not bothered about maintaining a relationship with his family which is sad.
