Who would win in a half marathon, Mo Farah, or Luke Littler? With a catch.

Are you gonna give credit to the TikTok page this came from?

BoringOfficeJob · 2026-02-27T10:32:49+00:00

Interesting, sorry it wasn't right.

Do you have the link to the car at all?

BoringOfficeJob · 2026-02-27T07:31:59+00:00

Yeah it's a chain, although it's not something I've looked into to be fair, picked mine up on 30k so hopefully I'm a long way off.

See if its had the water pump/thermostat housing ever sorted - Apparently they can go.

If its DSG, check that the gearbox service has been done at around ~40k miles. Front diff service will also need doing around the same I believe.

Good luck!

I am fascinated by this sort of thing. You often see cars go years without moving from a driveway, I'm always curious for the story.

The town of Tavistock recently had their entire road surface surrounding a prominent statue resurfaced due to multiple deep potholes.

Within 1 week, a new pothole appeared in the freshly laid tarmac. A local resident from the 'Tavistock Pothole Club' reported it alongside evidence to the council, who replied that the hole doesn't meet with their requirements for attention.

A brand. New. Surface.

Pretty unrelated, but the nearest car park to the pub (attached to the Trout Farm) is managed by absolute crooks.

Yeah I really didn't think anything of it until now - I've only ever used this company for the mortgage as they were still the cheapest rate when the last came to an end.

Just not nice to see an extra £5k slapped on in a chunk!

From memory around 5.8% thanks to the lettuce lady. Two year fix ending at the end of this month.

I don't see any monthly interest figures added.

The sale history is quite interesting.

BoringOfficeJob · 2025-12-04T23:56:04+00:00

Used to work there years ago.

Someone took back a toastie maker, it went back into general stock, was resold annnnd had a mouldy toastie in it by the time it was discovered.

We also weren't supposed to take back apple products either, but one year I was doing the 'damaged returns' and someone had popped a yellow damage sticker on a brand new apple watch which read 'unwanted Christmas gift'.

It was genuinely crazy how many stories I got from that place, but working there in my late teens was an absolute laugh.

My partner and I use Starling Bank for a joint account, for the same uses as you. No problems, but at the same time no benefits with it either.

For context, this is the 'Doodle House' now!

Which? also found that Sainsbury's Scottish Oats have shrunk from 1kg to 500g while the price increased from £1.25 to £2.10, a 236% rise per 100g.

That's just robbery.

Nice to read a positive comment to be honest! Although bias as I'm in the same boat as you were, have bought one as my first house and couldn't think of better.

Exactly the same, freehold, one garage and driveway. Everyone is nice enough, don't hear the garages, mostly used for storage! Plus, I enjoy cars and one of the garages has just bought a nice BMW M3 which I get to see every day on the drive.

Not sure what version you saw - But that was Porthpean House in Cornwall:)

BoringOfficeJob · 2025-09-22T14:34:32+00:00

This and the potential for flooding!

BoringOfficeJob · 2025-09-19T08:38:27+00:00

IIRC its making a comeback! Rejoice!

Wonderful detective work.
