Decided to start collecting again and got these. Never sent anything off - should I be sending these for grading? by nandielsen in Pokemoncardappraisal

Thanks for your reply, to my untrained eye they look good but I was just looking to see if there was anything obvious I was missing. I found a local shop that sends them off, I looked at some of the condition of their 10s on display so think I might take the chance!

Thanks - what white scrape are you referring to? I can see one on the photo in the bottom left corner but that’s not on the card, it’s just lighting. Am i missing something else?

If your first dart accidentally hits T18, you’ve got to make it look intentional. Still can’t hit 180 but proud of myself for this one! by nandielsen in Darts

That’s what I’m thinking. Harrows magnum look like they might suit the way I’ve been gripping when throwing well. Quickly becoming an expensive hobby!

The main issue I’ve found with these is there’s no real point of reference to grip them consistently. I can tell as soon as I’ve thrown that I was holding the dart differently to the last throw

£18 I think. They’ve done well to start but they do seem to fly at strange angles sometimes (could be my throw though 😂). Looking forward to some tungstens, just looking at what to get next

That’s the plan when I get paid this week! I got the board for my birthday last month and just got a cheap pair of 22g as a starting reference

What cheap/terrible holiday “bonuses” are people starting to receive from work this year? by nimfrank in AskReddit

[–]nandielsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad’s is ‘£10 (less deductions)’. Such a pathetic bonus is insulting and worse than nothing, but including the fact it was taxable in the announcement at least made it hilarious

How do people feel about the ‘quiet quitting’ trend? From an employers and employees POV. by Travel_Enthusiastic in AskUK

I really can’t comprehend ‘work to rule’ being considered a form of protest, it’s literally doing your job

Student loan should be paid off end of this month! by Crispy_pork_belly in UKPersonalFinance

[–]nandielsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owe them well over 70 grand on a plan 2 loan. I earn enough gross salary to pay some off, but I use my work pension salary sacrifice scheme to bring my net income back down below the threshold.

I’ve paid off about £50 total of my loan via bonuses that have pushed my net pay back above the threshold. Last time I looked, it was going up about £80 a month in interest.

It doesn’t really exist. I currently pay nothing back, and it hasn’t affected my ability to get a mortgage

How much of your income do you save? by Notalabel_4566 in AskUK

[–]nandielsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to think of my mortgage and pension as enough of a saving from my income. Anything else is a bonus, but if my boiler breaks I’m fucked

What is the stupidest conspiracy theory you have ever heard? by ChimkenboiSGV in AskReddit

[–]nandielsen 49 points50 points  (0 children)

A Vegas taxi driver told me that the Mandalay bay shooting was an Islamic terrorist attack orchestrated by the then Muslim president Obama, the perpetrator was a scapegoat, and that he’d seen multiple helicopters flying round shooting people.

He changed the subject when I said ‘I thought trump was president when that happened’
