I said it before - my wife's insurance is more just because she's an immigrant. Change her to 'British' and the premiums drop. There's even a specialist insurer for immigrants (Marshmellow?) who claim to offer better rates for them. It's a con.

It's hilarious. You can just hear him in your head saying 'it's ridiculous' in that nasally asinine voice that all cam-equiped cyclists seem to have. Same attitude about being above the law too. I hope he challenges and loses big in court - that'll teach the little prick to think the rules don't app...

Had the pleasure(?) of driving up to Bury to see a customer last Thursday. 245 ish miles each way. Managed 47mpg at a steady cruise of 70mpg. Left home with a full tank and 490 miles later it was still showing 142 miles left on the display. Decent for a 2ltr turbot.

Yup, that turtle-head is touching cloth I tell ya.

So, take out 5 for wife and I and it's 2.5 left for each child, to grow when invested. Hopefully should set them up well, plus of course when wife and I pop out clogs there's more.

Looks like I'm one of two who would take the coin toss. You're looking at the difference between a nice house, vs never working again and your children never having to work either, if invested properly. That's worth a shot for me.

Looks like your proxy is doing HTTPS interception and that, for some reason, it doesn't support SNI correctly.

Yup, Mike enjoys a hand job with his family. :shock: What channel/provider is it on? I had a brief search at the weekend and couldn't find it.... and I am not going to google that on a work computah :? @Ascender @Simon :?: One for Mito and Mike I think. I was just taking the piss 😉

In all seriousness, that's how much a house like that _should_ cost. It's just that prices in the south particularly, have gone crazy. This. I have looked at stuff up to £1.5m in Worcestershire and there's a lot of optimistic pricing; I think this (on the same road, just done up by a builder) will ...

In all seriousness, that's how much a house like that _should_ cost. It's just that prices in the south particularly, have gone crazy. I agree. That's the cost of foreign investment in property driving up the prices, I think. It will never come to pass, but as a thought experiment it would interest...

^^Both of these.

How much do kids sell for out of interest?

Looks just like my conservatory in the summer months.

BTW, Deb is now mad at me as I showed her your place and she's upset about what we could get for our money in another part of the country. Said 'if you say we are moving I will pack tomorrow!'. Great.

Do you need help in drawing up the plans for the inevitable swimming pool?

I have a 5.1 soundbar and sub setup but actually you don't need it. Most of the appreciation is in the story and the visual, not the aural.

Lovely place, good choice! And by christ you get a lot more for your money up there don't you? Similar money down here gets you.... bugger all.

Finally finished watching Oppenheimer. Quite a film. Nolan keeps knocking it out the park, doesn't he? Apart from the slightly ambitious Tenet to blot his copybook, I've loved most of what he's done.

A worthy winner of multiple BAFTA gongs too... I wonder what we'll see next from him.
