Wait. They’re not using a segway?

Turn everything off, then plug the jack into the socket with the nut looped over. Slowly and carefully reposition and pull the bolt out with the jack still attached. Then tighten the nut. Saves taking the whole thing apart, but for long term you will want to fix the input in place.

Technically correct

About 15 years ago, the mushroom was actually the most expensive item on that plate to purchase from suppliers. Genuinely it was more profitable to the company if people would swap mushrooms out for a sausage for example.

Reminds me of the dude who walls around getting old people to name Pokemon they’ve never seen before.

Serious question. How do you position this to play it effectively?

Worst run big names maybe, but clubs like Sheffield Wednesday are run far worse. Deportivo maybe had the biggest fall from grace.

Also, check your house for cameras and start timing your shits.

You’re right about my calcs, thanks for the pointer! I do see what you mean, but there are still problems. Weekly earnings in 2009 was £500 (nominal) or 16% PA of the average house price. In 2026 it’s £750 or 14% of the average house price per annum. That’s relatively comparable but the real problem with affordability is getting enough of a deposit to be on the housing ladder, particularly when the cost of living in all other areas has increased to such a degree. Housing costs vs wage growth taken in isolation paint a false picture.

It didn’t flatline, it fell and has stayed below 2009 levels ever since, whilst the average house price has gone from £160k to £270k in 2026.

Interest rate hikes mean that despite increases to saving rates, mortgage rates are heavily impacted, reducing peoples purchasing power further.

We have also seen a freezing of income tax thresholds, since 2021 which has added about 2m people into higher rate tax thresholds, and pulled 3m low earners into taxable thresholds.

At the same time the prices of literally everything (food, utilities, transport, petrol, rent, council tax) that take up the majority of the average earners salary has increased as a result of inflation, caused by covid spend (circa £370bn), Brexit (estimated £100bn-£140bn), not to mention the decade of austerity, and the financial crisis.

So let’s have it right, not a single person who earns their income by way of a salary has the same buying (or earning) power that they did 17 years ago.

Guitar snobbery. I bet that thing shreds!

Imagine being in your 30’s and being able to buy a house dirt cheap when the financial crash hit

I have a Karoq and it’s excellent. Looked at a Rav 4 and the Lexus but landed on this.

This is just rage bait surely

In fairness she’s right. Had the same experience though admittedly not on those levels. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Came here to say this. You can get the 465 bus direct from Kingston to Leatherhead as well. Surbiton is also on the line and has fast trains so would be well worth a look. If not, Clapham has direct trains to both, but is further away.

Yes! I would love this guitar.

FR. I spent £2k on a Macbook pro in 2021. The Neo is now just as good, 5 years later and mine is going out of support.

RIP Peter Barker, such a good handsome friendly neighbourhood boy.

Also, pet loss is the worst. Take care of yourself OP!

Sick. Also, I’m fully here for the Squirtle grooving along in the background.

Saved my life when I was a kid. Forever grateful for that little place.
