Wanted some advice and views on anyone that is in the same position.

I'm pretty convinced that the US is due a large correction soon of 30% and possibly more. I'm assuming that politically that Trumps impending exit will be the catalyst- but this is all hypothetical and purely my thesis which I'm committed to and happy for time to prove me wrong. My pension is mainly invested in an all-world index which like most is around 65-70% US companies. I have started to build a roughly 25% buffer into a cash liquidity fund to buy on any pull back. I know historically that time in the market beats timing the market and I still plan to be invested in the market during this time albeit with a cash buffer some of have cash to deploy during a correction (I know timing this comes with a whole set of variables that I'm comfortable with). I wondered if any other had like minded views and if they are making similar plans. I should add that my horizon is 12 years although I'd really love to bring that forward as much as possible

Are porno mags still widely available in corner shops and new agents?

I was in mine the other day and there wasn’t any on the shelf and it made me wonder if this is something that has completely disappeared from publication and print distribution.

If the drought in the Uk continues...

and we enter into scorched earth and famine (we are already in drought) will African counties come together to do a telethon, create a Christmas song and raise money for us to help pay for our tax increases or will this just be dismissed as a first world problem?

Lemonade sparkles and Mini Milks all day for me….

Wasn’t a fan of a funny foot or a cider lolly and my ice cream man never had screwballs

After a bit of bin related neighbour drama last week I’ve finally taken the plunge…

Had a bit of a nightmare last week when someone nicked our wheelie bin right after collection day. I walked outside to grab it, and it was gone.

After a quick wander down the street, I spotted it and it was sitting smugly in number 32 front porch, pretending to be theirs. Now, we have some serious 'binfluencers' on this road (not number 32 - renters!) bou know the type: people who pressure-wash their bins every week and have them perfectly lined up by 00:01 AM sharp on collection day, blue bins, green bins, red bins, food waste bins etc etc . I honestly expected a higher standard of community from the local bin elite, but it turns out they aren't above a bit of casual piracy and turned a blind eye to this theft.

I walked straight over - grabbed the handle, and dragged it right back home where it belongs. But the whole thing has left me proper paranoid and left with some serious Binanxiety for next Thursday.

Look, I never wanted to be \\\*that\\\* person. I used to have a communal bin and would just dump anything in it and I wasn’t ready for this new responsibility since moving house recently, the neighborhood bin politics have basically pressured me into it and went down a deep internet shopping rabbit hole looking at ways to stop people taking it again. I genuinely considered going all out with quirky floral vinyl or faux wooden wraps but my wife told me I wasn’t allowed so i just panicked and went for the classic, massive, passive-aggressive white numbers.

Honestly, the wheelie bin accessory market is pretty rubbish anyway - we need more accessories and customisable features. There’s literally no bin tech out there . For anyone else who has been forced into this life by a dodgy neighbour or bad bin experience generally what finally pushed you to start putting numbers on your bin? Keen to hear from floral wrap owners as well…how did you position and sell this in with the other half. Is there any bin tech out there that is genuinely game changing and I’ve overlooked…

I need to become a trillionaire in my life time

I need to become a trillionaire within my lifetime to achieve my goals. A simple million or even a billion won’t do due to the plays that I have…some of my plans involve sending rockets into space so I will need a lot of money to achieve this…my main aim to to make toilets more readily avalible in space and I have a patent pending on a space urinal and sh1t trap. I need backers to make this happen. If everyone on Reddit gave me just £1 per month it will help me.

Here’s a spicy take….

On Sunday night before and during the game I stuck away 8 Stella’s, three Guinness, two bottles of red wine, 4 sambucas, 3 buzzballs and a baby Guinness 4 poppadom, 3 pakoras, a lamb rogan Josh, perhwari nan, a coconut rice, ironed out 2 packets of pub grade shovel and shat myself on the walk home at around 5am on Monday morning. After feeling a bit sheepish for the rest of Monday and Tuesday I can now confirm that I plan to do EXACTLY the same on Saturday night.

Had this circled in the Argos catalogue three years running…….

Had this on my Argos Christmas wish list for about 3 years…..never got it. Found out years later it was because my mum thought that you couldn’t buy Percy Penguin refills…….it was squash FFS. The better answer would have been why do you want to drink slushies when it’s -5 outside you little tw@t

Paul Gascoigne….

Was actually a load of sh1t. Scored a couple of worldies in unimportant games (and yes I count the group stage against Scotland in the Euros an unimportant game), one decent World Cup run at italia 90 but generally his mouth wrote cheques his playing ability couldn’t match which was illustrated at Lazo…basically a poor mans, pissed up, wife beating northern Matt Le Tissier

My old man used to drink this stuff warm. Not refrigerated at all. Warm…tasted like dog piss and had the annoying advert with the Vikings that kept singing Skol, Skol, Skol.

Did anyone else have a Griffin Savers account and get the lever arch file, geometry set and encyclopaedia? Felt like an absolute BALLER at 7 years old with my cheque book and bank card with £10 in it……on hindsight I think my parents signed me up for this just to get some free back to school kit.
