Re: Brian Thompson

Fascinating profile. Certainly doesn't sound like his family had problems with affording health care. I would assume that even if you're wealthy, you still pay for insurance and will have to battle with them. I.e. you're not just gonna pay out $50k for an ambulance to pick you up, if an insurance c...

Re: Bloody Landlords

That’s really bloody annoying mate. Sounds properly two faced of them. Hope you can find somewhere just as nice, or maybe even better. We’d be practically neighbours, forum wise, if you moved there. Eerily close geographically! Maybe the landlord was a carnivore diet advocate and saw you trash talk...

Re: Bloody Landlords

In fact the internet speed is fine, because the property was wrongly listed by openreach, something I sorted out for them! I raised a ticket with openreach as there’s full fibre available at neighbouring properties, but that barn didn’t. They came back to me yesterday to confirm they’ve updated thei...

Re: Brian Thompson

There was some other stuff on X, one poster claiming Mangione had undergone back surgery at some point, which if true, could be enormously relevant.

Bloody Landlords

As mentioned in the other threads over the last few weeks I had agreed to rent a property in Suffolk. I did two viewings, the first one with the agent where I explained my work, financial details etc., and then submitted an application after the viewing with all those details. Went back a week later...

Re: Your fleet running reports

The car is finally off to the dealer for repairs. It was very frustrating to arrange, because the Marshall recovery department (24/7) are separate to the Marshall warranty operators (Mon-Sat) who are also separate to the Marshall workshops (Mon-Fri). Each basically shirks responsibility until you sp...

Re: Your fleet running reports

No smoke from the rear, car was running totally fine even when the warning was on screen. It's getting recovered back to a dealer asap and over to them and the warranty.

Re: Nicko McBrain’s not dead

Ahhhh gutted, he really is an incredible drummer. I feel like Maiden get subjected to some derision for their musical ability which is largely undeserved, and Nicko really goes under the radar. However everything about his drumming is elite and he's very clever with his use of the kit too, plus he m...

Re: Your fleet running reports

FFS. Eight days. After just eight days of ownership and the Ateca has broken down, this was meant to be a reliable one! Coolant warning came on, so I checked the level and it was low, when driving the temp warning light also came on, but the coolant temp gauge never budged from 90º. Grabbed some pro...

Re: Brian Thompson

The phrase "unnecessary care" sounds damn austere in itself, as if care is something that should be strictly rationed.

Re: Dogecoin etc

She clearly had some serious management who jumped behind her the moment she blew up online and they have milked every second of her short-lived fame. She was getting paid $20-30k appearance fees FFS. I just hope she's been saving the cash so when she's completely irrelevant she's still saved up a f...

Re: Brian Thompson

Aye, bluesky is split between the libs being all “a man died, have some respect” and everyone else going “I wouldn’t have respected him if he was alive”. It's the thing that surprised me most about the US, how people with severe health problems or disabilities are simply rolling around the streets....

Re: Brian Thompson

There's a massive lack of sympathy around the death, which is understandable given how US healthcare leaves people on the streets to rot. Plus the suspected assassin was low-key handsome.

Re: Dogecoin etc

FWIW, now is a really bad time to buy eth/btc etc. We've had a lot of increases over the last six weeks. If you want to start playing around then definitely wait until there's a big crash. There'll probably be one in the next month or two, where 20%+ of the BTC price gets wiped out.

Any of the big ones like Coinbase, eToro, Kraken, Binance etc are fine. I think Coinbase used to have the highest fees though.

Re: Dogecoin etc

Crypto is ridiculous when it's a bear market and everything is going in your favour. I had to move a few things around to get the ETH and BTC into GBP, which involved putting it into LiteCoin first. After converting to LTC I had to go out to a meeting. I just got back and LTC has gone up from 102.5 ...
