It's always a good time to buy your own place if you can get the funds together and deal with the 6 months+ heartache it all tends to take. If your parents are able to help you, then take that help; most of us don't get it and you and they are lucky to be able to do it.

Commuting is rapidly going out of fashion. Depends on what job you're in, of course, but I think the homeworking/flexible hours thing is here to stay.

>>7941
I broadly agree, but there is a big difference between a free hold, a lease hold and owning a flat. The former has no "hidden" fees, the middle has ground rent which tends to be fairly nominal while the latter has service charges which can easily reach several thousand pounds a year. So on top of your mortgage your effectively still paying rent. Make sure to have a chat with other owners in the building if you buy a flat to find out how onerous the lease holders are. And (fat chance in The City) if several of you are long term owners, see if you can acquire the lease nad form a co-op.

ike all these sorts of actions this will just lead to increased house prices. It is good only for speculators, builders and boomers. I fucking hate it.

I've got no problem driving 3.5t box vans but there's something about a rangie, especially ones of that age, which makes me really unsure of my 'size' on the road. I hated parking them.

>>4499

I have noticed that too - there is a reason I've parked it in the corner away from everyone else. I haven't been brave enough to park between two cars yet, let alone reverse into a space. Multi storey garages are fun, as well.

The 12 seater ford transit bus at work feels smaller than this when it comes to manoeuvring.

>>4498

I forgot to mention it's the 3.6 litre V8 diesel engine - it's faster than a three tonne car has any right to be and does surprisingly well on fuel - 38mpg on the motorway.

>>4498
That's a fine looking vehicle for the money.

I've lately become a little bit fascinated with really old cars.

It's interesting to see sow much has changed and yet how much remains the same, and I always find it a little bit enchanting when pre-WW2 tech and machinery is still serviceable and usable today. It feels like it comes from an altogether different era of history.

Can I just say I only had to look up one thing on the web about Subnautica and that was where the Big Sub bits were, which it turned out I'd been past half a dozen times already I just hadn't been paying attention. I'm not saying that to be smug, I just think it gives you exactly the right amount of info, both in speech, text and visuals so that you know what you need to do.

Cracking fun, the biggest of recommendations from me too. I couldn't stop smiling when I got the Big Sub.

I really barely use the Internet any more. I browse this place on my lunch break, I make a few controversial posts on lefty Rudgwick subs, and I'll stick youtube on when I'm eating. But the whole thing has really rather lost its appeal. I think I've already read all there is about the subjects I used to get lost in deep wiki walks and so on for.

So much of the Internet is just vapid shite now,, and it's harder to find the stuff that isn't because Google massages its results to put shopping and entertainment sites above anything else.

>>27631
Google may massage your results to do that.

I often search up technical standards documents, etc, and often find that using Google to get to the IEEExplore page is easier than its integrated search.

Clearly you have moved on but she hasn't and is in denial. You need to start perving on other women in front of her and treating her like crap until she decides it's HER choice to leave.

I'd be careful with how much sense you're making here. I ended it before planetary lockdown started and the gas aliens of Venus sounds like something from The Algebraist that I was reading at the time.

Maybe this also explains how .gs was able to manifest the weather last month. And why Dream Kitchen just came on.

Ninjam used to be great for this, not sure what it's like now.

Have you tried asking rather than waiting to be asked? If you post a message on a local Facebook group I'm sure you'll get some interest - there are loads of half-arsed bedroom rockers who are a bit too shy to join or start a band.

>>12493
Turns out this advice was spot on. Had a couple of jam sessions. One good, one not so good (ended up getting too drunk with the keyboard player and banned from the rehearsal space). In any case it's good to break out of being a bedroom guitarist.

If not, I'm not really seeing the point.

>>41409

She's not fat any more, sadly. She put on a load of weight and then lost it all just to prove that it's piss-easy, because that's the kind of spiteful weirdo she is.

>>41410

While I appreciate the hucow fantasy, I think I'd go for some wholesome extramarital fun. The sort of thing the tabloids would describe as a "steamy romp".

>>41409
This is from when she put on 3 stone and then lost it so she could call fat people lazy. I'd still give her one, having been raised by the internet I can't resist a woman who commits to pissing everyone off to the degree that she's banned from web2.0.

Oh? I thought you needed an address. How do you register if you're sleeping rough? Who is your MP when you have no fixed abode?

>>66691

You need an address, but you can perfectly legally use the address of a homeless hostel, a day centre, or even something like "The Bins Behind Currys, High Street". As long as a postman can find you, it's a valid address. Most homeless people aren't registered to vote, but most are claiming benefits and often have to give an unconventional address in order to do so.

I've been making tea in the saucepan lately and I find it tastes better, kind of softer.

Here's my method:

Put the cold water and teabag into the saucepan
Put on a high heat
When it's come up to boil it's done
Pour into a cup and add milk and sugar to taste

>I would like to smoke less but right now I need what it does for my severely fucked brain.

I've been completely the same mate and I haven't had any CBT but recently found you can apply for it online now for free so I'll be getting it in the next couple weeks.

>>8468
That all makes sense and it's easy to say but I know exactly how this lad's going to feel when sober. It is unbearable and you only spiral, you're having to get high to save yourself, basically.

Completely agree with the rest you said though, studies have shown it can exascebate anxiety issues and you deinitely do need to address the feelings you're avoiding and find some kind of way to reduce your intake at the least, otherwise it just buries these feelings down into your subconscious and I swear it's what led to a breakdown for me because I got to the point where weed was doing nothing.

>>8469
I'm high right now and can't delete my post to fix the typos.

>>8468
See the weird thing is I have had a strain of weed that did that before, I realised and stopped smoking it, so I don't know if it's an indica vs sativa thing or some bollocks, I'm not one of these hipster weed apothecary types.

It mostly just makes my brain go from 200/mph to some kind of normal person speed, which is very nice. Maybe there is some residual anxiety, but it's certainly not as bad as the epic fucking shit fits I have off it. Is there not some kind of option to trade in my drugs budget for just a nice functioning brain that does the emotions thing properly?

Anyway, while I have ordered my poison, it won't be here for a few days, so here's hoping a brief patch of cold turkey will help me to start fresh with better habits. Like not smoking during the work day. Fucking WFH, it's a curse for potheads I tell you.

>I hallucinate etc under high stress

Have you told your GP about this? Those symptoms should result in an immediate referral to the Early Intervention in Psychosis team.

Did you ask a doctor?

If you leave your arse alone for a few months it will be as tight and fresh as when it was new.

If fat people's entire skin can bounce back when they lose 60kg your arse certainly can.

This is just crap copypasta. You haven't even made any effort with it.

If anything it just proves that we're not paying enough attention to be playing favourites, and that's a good thing for a community.

I agree and gave up trying to point out that the whole ban-by-number-of-seconds thing is idiotic years ago now.

This does explain some of the slightly left-field accusations that have been made recently; if a mod has been over-tracking posts. Maybe look at /sentry/ less often, it's fairer if we only use it when we have to, puts us all on a more even keel.

>>15542
I usually check sentry after a report if I can't discern why I should be banning it at face value and only for that IP (which is, I assume, it's purpose) but I don't use it otherwise. What accusations are you referring to, btw?

It seems like something worth stamping down on, especially if people are trying to use sentry to dox each other or out Americans and Nepal lads as used to happen back in the day, but if that has happened to anyone recently it's slipped through the cracks.

>>15530
Please purple, fix this. I don't want to see the guilty would thread any more.

Agreed, that lad has gone wrong.

I've got about one-fifth of my pension in a gold fund_[1] that has gone up by almost 60% in six months thanks to coronavirus. Do I cash out or not? The only thing I can think of switching into at the minute is an infrastructure fund_[2] or perhaps pumping more into UK equities because it hasn't bounced back the way the rest of the world as a whole has.

Cash out your initial investment +any interest you'd have earned if it had been in a bank.

The issue is where to put it instead. I think, on reflection, the best course of action might be to rebalance so I'm taking the gain out but leaving the amounts paid in.

They've got oats in? That makes them breakfast.

>>13798
I knew someone would say this and I'm upset by it, mostly because I don't have a well-formed argument; but I know that digestives are for breakfast, while a hobnob is more a late-night dessert, oats or not. I think it's to do with the sweetness of a hobnob.

Seeing as we're debating the finer points of breakfast biscuits, can anyone suggest a decent lunch marmalade?

>>13800
>lunch marmalade

For lunch you say - you old devil.

I would suggest that Orange & Lime is allowed outside normal hours. I only ever buy Wilkin & Sons in a marmalade, whilst I prefer the French-themed Bonne Maman if it's any kind of berry.

I do accept though given modern supply chains, and manufacturing techniques, they're all probably made in the same factory in Barnsley or something.

>>13801
Just looked them up and Wilkin & Sons is still a private company that's been operating since 1885. I'd be happy to support them, maybe I'll get someone their damson or quince liqueur for a stocking filler.
