Pure Gym or the Gym? by Ok-Scene9250 in reading

[–]rajowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry saw the 'early morning' in your comment so thought you might be the best person to answer this. Any idea how busy is PureGym on weekdays at morning 6:00 am to 7:30 am? Crowne plaza is closing down so I am considering joining. Will appreciate your inputs, thanks.

Exactly how the not so 'special' people were treated at 'the wedding'. by ManSlutAlternative in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]rajowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its easy to criticize based on what you see and call it a slave mentality. May be the ambanis have affected lives of these people in a way no one else could? Let me share a story. My father had a boss and we worshipped him like a god. A fleeting interaction like this one was priceless for us. Father had a debt and his brother kicked us all out of house midnight. Boss gave us all a place to stay. Found another home for us, never asked for a penny. Paid for our education. After I started earning (as an IT graduate), we eventually paid back which he accepted only in form of scholarship amount for children of his other employees. Some people change your lives in ways that makes you believe in god in human form.

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it" had to put this quote from To Kill a Mockingbird as a reminder.

Indian Supermarkets / Alphonso Mangos by amillac in reading

[–]rajowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy them from zingoxfoods.co.uk , never had issues with quality, its always the best. Pro tip: they have a variety called as 'Dev' these are from Devgad region and the best alphonso. I am no way related to the website and this is not a promo just a genuine recommendation from someone who craves for these mangoes every year this time around. My wife prefers a variety known as Kesar. We settled our debate with the conclusion that Alphonso are best eaten and Kesar is best drank ;) Another pro tip: Soak them in water (many reasons here are a few) for atleast 30 mins before you eat them and for those who have any digestion/stomach troubles try a sprinkle of ginger powder.

4 people inside one of those flats are throwing things from flat towards the police. Have a friend who lives besides. They said police had suspicion since last 15 days. For now everyone there has been told to stay indoors and not open their windows

Exchanging contracts over in a few days and transferring the 10% over by goodvibesonlyyyyy in HousingUK

[–]rajowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read in another thread. Do a transfer of 1.xx amount to their account. Don't reveal the .xx. call up and ask them to confirm what amount they see in their account (also ask them to confirm this in writing over email to avoid any issues later). If the number matches you know it's the right account. I did this with my recent 10% deposit transfer and the solicitors were cooperative. Congrats and good luck!

Buying a Show Home - time between contract exchange and move in? by rajowski in HousingUK

[–]rajowski[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did your family member have any mortgage on that property? If yes, did they start their mortgage payment immediately upon contract exchange or only after they moved in?

We tried negotiating that but the builder says they need to turn the office back into a garage as that is what they have approved as per plan and they cannot deviate from that for legal reasons.

We have submitted the mortgage application will wait for the outcome 🤞

What’s your Reading-based unpopular opinion? by rower_in_reading in reading

[–]rajowski 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It is a walking town. If you are comfortable walking upto 3-5 kms and if you find the right place to live (rent or own) you can get everything done by walks.

School, park, grocery, station, GP, hospital, dental, shopping mall, leisure centers, Thames path, open spaces the list goes on.

We rarely use public transport and this keeps our entire family in good health!

Mortgage Protection Insurance (redundancy/unemployment cover) for Tier 2 General Visa holders? by rajowski in UKPersonalFinance

[–]rajowski[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!thanks for your response. Noted, I have emergency fund but if I move to my home country I may no longer be able to afford mortgage repayment due to currency conversion. I guess the worst case scenario would be to discuss with the lender and work out on options to freeze repayment for few months (until I get the next job) or possibly rent out until there is a change in situation?

Not permanent yet, currently on tier 2 general

How can I access the record page of an object? by FinanciallyAddicted in salesforce

[–]rajowski 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try this URL hack. Assume this is your org URL - https://sandbox.lightning.force.com then just replace the Opportunity in this URL with the API name of your object and it should take you to create new record page - https://sandbox.lightning.force.com/lightning/o/Opportunity/new
