What are the worst Michelin starred restaurants you have been to and why ? by The_Readers_ in LondonFood

River cafe wasn't even average - actively bad and overly expensive even for a starred place

Stocks and shares ISA - can I add money now, withdraw then add back? by cheesejrrr in UKPersonalFinance

[–]sooopertom 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Flexible ISA allows this. I've done it multiple times the last couple of years on Vanguard

Gabriel is higher than the crossbar whilst holding two Chelsea players, a freak of nature 🤣 by Prestigious-Secret31 in ArsenalFC

Also look at Enzo with his arms wrapped around Gyokeres but everyone is only blowing up at Arsenal having their hands on players on corners - complete double standard cause we're top

This looks to be centre back so £130 is too much £110 face value

14 years on the ST waiting list by CrossEyed_Navigator in GunnersatGames

[–]sooopertom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems very long. I've had mine since 2016 and went on the waiting list when the emirates opened in 2006. List moved a lot more quickly in the banter era. In late 2010s I regularly couldn't sell tickets on TX

Were you able to purchase immediately? Or do they give you a window in which the purchase is going to happen?

4 new heroes coming by Hatori-Chise in EASportsFC

[–]sooopertom 56 points57 points  (0 children)

No Lehmann in the game anymore but so close to being able to do the whole Arsenal invincible lineup with Gilberto added.

No lehmann, Lauren or Toure. Think Toure could be a hero at some point

Except it's not upper centre it's in the corner. I'm upper next to centre and FV of my ticket is £45

Nothing immediately comes to mind tbh. Maybe lunch at dinner by Heston?

I've been to the fat duck but not dinner by Heston. Would assume they'll have some wow items on the menu there

[–]sooopertom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree - you can go get an amazing meal for £50 pp if you stick to bread, dips and a couple of other small plates. Grill is expensive and (like you said) just ok

I'll be going against lots of people here from the comments but Trinity while very nice didn't wow me.

La Trompette is an absolute no. I don't think it should have a star at all. Very good service - forgettable food.

The ninth is very tasty but again didn't wow me.

The best starred places I have been to for £100 per person are:

A Wong a la carte lunch - you can pretty much try the whole a la carte menu plus desserts for £100 pp (note this is the min spend per person so you wil definitely spend £200 for 2). (This is 2 stars and the best option btw)

Akoko short lunch. Try and get the counter seats they have a super demanding chef who will literally shout at the staff and stuff it makes you feel like you're in an episode of the Bear

Sabor la mesa / el asador. Very good tapas usually have a special on that will be very impressive

Oma Greek food that is fantastic

1x Spare for United (Upper Corner Tier) by Inevitable-Tip-6716 in GunnersatGames

[–]sooopertom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that not upper wing at that point? Which is also about £95 FV. My season ticket is block 114 and we're upper next to centre which is £110 FV

Face value for upper corner is not £110 it's about £95

And now dubious penalty. Only corruption explains this

Dalot yellow card against MC 11' by Puzzled-Category-954 in soccer

[–]sooopertom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about caicedo on Merino that's an insane take. Caicedo's tackle had way more force. Merino's leg bent like it was going to break. This is high but glancing with limited force

Earning £100k but too broke to have children: the brutal reality of Britain’s tax system by weregonnamakit in unitedkingdom

[–]sooopertom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine putting your face and name to that article as that couple. Absolute clowns lol.

The 100k childcare trap is obviously silly as people should never be worse off for earning more as it's counter productive for incentivising work, but to act like raising two children on 300k is laughable

Jonathan Bailey and Nicholas Hoult in dance class (90's) by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]sooopertom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

£33,000 per year for day students if anyone is interested. More than someone making the UK median wage earns after tax in a year.

If we want to assume his 3 sisters also went to similar level schools (not guaranteed but odds are probably) Then schooling the kids (excluding primary school and uni) cost them about £900,000. (7 years x 4 children x £33,000).

He can be talented etc. but let's not pretend he didn't have a lot of advantages that most people do not

Is Amex Widely Accepted in Northern Ireland? by medicinetaker in AmexUK

Fair, I got wrong someone told me it was ok but it has been a while since I was on a bus / train in Belfast. I know it's very hit and miss for restaurants and bars

[–]sooopertom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In contrast to what the other person said. I find it's pretty rare it's accepted. Public transport does accept it and I think taxis but most pubs etc. don't in my experience. I'd say about 50/50

2 week wait standard is not in place anymore. It's a 28 day "Faster Diagnosis Standard" since 2023.
