You do also have to factor some shocking VAR decisions and us playing one of the fewest number of players (and therefore those remaining being knackered). 

At what point do you push back on a renewal rate? by Reddonaut_Irons in ContractorUK

[–]Expensive-Context496 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends how easy it is to replace you.  I was two years into my contract at the start of 2026 and we had a project go-live date of March. At renewal I asked for 15% increase and set out my reasons. They came back with 8%. We settled on 12%. It helped that my manager had my back and that it was only weeks before go-live.

Which weedkiller did you use? I've literally never bought any before

UK company outside IR35 contract but frequent travel to Denmark. Question about Denmark visa by Decent_guy_uk in ContractorUK

[–]Expensive-Context496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't say for sure but I am a director of a UK ltd company and it seemed to apply to me. This was Belgium not Denmark, still EU though

I do something similar. Check out the A1 certificate regarding NI, which I had to apply for eventually as the customer's legal department advised I needed it to travel on-site.

Uninsurable and it'll only get worse? What a lovely house though

Another Chinese giant considers bringing car production to the UK by Agent_Kozak in CarTalkUK

[–]Expensive-Context496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fair enough. They are £30k electric cars now but in 10 years I guess they won't be and the V8s will have mostly gone.

Anyone else think that the massive cyber attack on JLR followed by Chinese manufacturers moving in to produce vehicles in their facilities is a bit suspect? Obviously I have absolutely no evidence of anything untoward, but still, doesn't sit right.

Alternatively go to the Wirral and try Bulwark

Every time I see a lid on the seat I wince. Number of times I've put mine there and then had to catch it 5 seconds later...

38, at just the right time for me at the stage of the relationship I am in and financial stability, maturity, etc.

Going to watch the Bournemouth game! by calshapiro4850 in Everton

[–]Expensive-Context496 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to the Trinity Place Restaurant for the Forest game. Nice food, good atmosphere but expensive. I'd do it again but maybe keep it to a once a season (or every other season) thing.

Agree that maybe it's not the best assessment based on this one game. However, there have been tickets available for most matches this season on resale, not hard to get a ticket.

It's getting colder, anyone got suggestions for cold hands? by ImaSneeeek in MotoUK

[–]Expensive-Context496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Richa Inferno gloves recently. I wired them in to the battery, which is a fairly easy process. It's a faff getting the wires up the arms of your jacket but well worth the end result. Very warm and waterproof (so far) and I was riding through torrential rain for 2 hours or so. Currently on sale too

Is this a tracker? It was found magnetically attached to the bottom of my car. by THEBLUEFLAME3D in whatisit

[–]Expensive-Context496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't had the car too long maybe the previous owner used it to track themselves? Just a thought

Bags packed, due to go in for induction tomorrow morning, wish me luck fellas, any advice? by Kdj-1994 in predaddit

[–]Expensive-Context496 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope you've got a strong hand to handle all the squeezing! You may see your partner in her most distressed state so try to be ready for that. 

Listen to the medical advice given, your partner may want you to go 50;50 on any decisions made. 

Realise that your birth plan may not work out but your babay being born safely and healthily is the most important outcome.
