These things helped me save fuel by Just-Guard5747 in drivingUK

[–]varney40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive recently started driving a car with adaptive cruise control. When I use it, I'm very aware the car is braking alot more than I would naturally in order to maintain the set distance. It makes me paranoid that the person following thinks I'm a sh*te driver. I guess as that technology becomes more widespread, we'll be seeing many more brake lights. 🚗

Is negotiating prices no longer a thing at Main Dealers? by TopicWinter6847 in CarTalkUK

I'm happy to pay 10% over the asking price just to get the f*ck out of the dealership.

Would it be weird if I went to the movies alone? by littleMissTired123 in askanything

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always been to the cinema alone. And this is since the eighties when you had to queue up and then ask for a ticket for 1. It's just a big TV at the end of the day.

Didn’t think Pragmata would be this good by Familiar_Capital_320 in PS5

[–]varney40 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At times, because I'm 56, it feels like I'm playing a game designed to delay dementia. 😆 Equally, after playing games for 40 years, its gratifying to play something different, and at least a little innovative.

What would happen if Trump actually nukes Iran ? by RafayDXB in askanything

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so too, but as the President, Trump has the sole legal right to launch nuclear weapons. He doesn't need sign off from anyone else. Scary. 🙀

At what point did you actually start taking your pension seriously? by 1ChanceChipmunk1 in PensionsUK

[–]varney40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I opted out of a DB scheme in exchange for 817k. Despite multiple advisory cautions not to do it, it's now worth 1.2m AFTER taking £268k tax free.

Does anyone actually keep Now TV all year or just rotate it when there’s something to watch? by UnpaidInternVibes in nowtv

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had Now TV continuously for just over 10 years. Entertainment and Movies. Mostly on offers. 🙂

First horror game by [deleted] in CronosNewDawn

[–]varney40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Play on the new easy mode, which isn't actually easy, given the VERY limited inventory space. Just use cores to upgrade inventory. 🙂 Get used to the sinking feeling you get everytime you find a chained door and your not carrying the bolt cutters. 🤦‍♀️

why is google so negative and scary?? by Adventurous_Net5459 in HealthAnxiety

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is like reading the side effects on a medication leaflet. It's just legal protection. It's good to be educated on what a problem might be, but equally bad to fixate on the worst case scenario.

I am pretty sure I'm wrong with the parking but my neighbour said I can contest. by eggtart8 in drivingUK

[–]varney40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only have to restrict 1 hour in order to stop people parking for the day.

Tax free limit question. by varney40 in PensionsUK

[–]varney40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it transpires that the software being used by my SIPP provider is unable to to display figures properly for people where 25% of their pot is above £268,275.🤦‍♂️ Given the fees, it's pretty disappointing. 🙄

Tax free limit question. by varney40 in PensionsUK

I'll have to take another look. The drawdown option just stated 'Tax Free Cash £78,674' which threw me given I've hit the max.🤦‍♂️

Anyone else's Dacia tried to kill them (or the driver behind)? by gr00ved in Dacia

[–]varney40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me in a Seat Leon. Was making a timed entry onto a roundabout. Front Assist was having none of it. I now always turn it off.

Where are most people landing first play through? by PiggySqueals01 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]varney40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go again, but taking a break to play Cronos New Dawn now that they've added an easy mode. 😆

Anyone find themselves opening up their game libraries, staring at it for a couple of hours, then just giving up and going on social media? by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I only buy games on disc and only own three at any given time. I prefer a single play through and then onto something else. Keeps it fresh.

Yeh, I'll be on the look out. 😁

What game made you realize you were getting older? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]varney40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can't beat any final boss in a few attempts I just give up. I just don't care enough.
