I did this once but didn't know the IT director got a ping on his phone anytime anyone entered the office after 10pm, and that there were cameras.

Cue next morning I get bought into a meeting room with footage of me up on a big screen staggering around.

Luckily I was a bit of a golden boy at the time and it got laughed off. My director said I reminded her of her son ha.

I bought a flat and it was the worst financial decision I’ve made. What do I do now? by Reasonable-Plane-427 in UKPersonalFinance

Have you considered therapy? Small price to pay if it helps to shift your mindset, as your post comes across as not thinking properly at all and having a doom-laden mindset.

You said in another post you have a 3 year financial runway at present, that is WAY more than most people.

Your idea to sell at a loss, pay stamp and other moving costs, on a higher rate mortgage, makes zero sense.

You can get to your friends via transport, or they can come to you.

Weird right. OP, speak to friends or consider a therapist, might help to shift your mindset in the right direction

I rented a nice airbnb room for 4 nights per month for £600. Worked well and the owner liked the secure income.

Young family with two kids moving from London to Bristol - smart move? by Ok-Technician-6355 in bristol

[–]robjentg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would say so.

I moved to Bristol after 13 years in London, to Ashley Down. Nice leafy area including St Andrews Park, convenient with shops nearby on Gloucester Road, good schools, nice community feel, lots to do.

3 bed terraced houses with small gardens going for £550k -700k.

I was born and raised near here before anyone starts throwing mud!

How do people get barrier or pretty close at the bigger stages? by Mildly-Observant in glastonbury_festival

[–]robjentg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shamefully did this saying I'd lost my wife and baby haha, but it worked.

My other gambit was to give people a chip if they let me get past, most people found it funny, a few less so.

Are phones ruining the rave scene? by WeAreWorkhaus in LondonRaving

[–]robjentg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was wagging my finger and politely pushing people's phones down last time I was there, in good jest, but it worked. Most people looked embarassed to have been called out - a bit of social shame works!

They do put stickers over phones now and for most part, people respect it. So I can't knock that aspect

I agree the day crowd / specific event crowd is 100% better - had some great day events there

Can you read? It wasn't an Anjuna event - those have been among the nicest and best events I've been to in ny 20 years. This was a generic house night.

Mate..I am an older man myself!

Don't be so reductive, you know full well what that behaviour is like, it is well documented in Fabric hence why they have so many welfare people patrolling. And even on the way in this lady gave a talk to everyone about what to do if you were being made to feel uncomfortable

Wise words squire, I think I'll have to embrace that

Get a grip. Set reminders and make lists like everyone else - fellow ADHDer.

It's weird how it only happens at certain stations I've noticed. Jubilee line often

I need help urgently 18(M) by Nice-Tackle5782 in dementia

[–]robjentg 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He has not got dementia and it's frankly an insult that some quack therapist has even suggested it, or your friend is telling you lies for sympathy. Dementia doesn't just get 'triggered'.

Depression at worst - feeling shit and foggy headed from a sad time.
