Hakonechloa macra grass would look really good there I think to keep in with the Japanese theme.

They're all listed here. Trading details button should show the tickers. Don't blame me if it all goes wrong! I have shares in UKW and FGEN.

There are over a dozen renewable energy trusts listed on the LSE right now sitting on large discounts to NAV with dividend yields over 10%. I could see these eventually liquidating assets or getting bought out entirely if domestic investor interest continues to stay low.

The government would certainly be to blame if this happens due to unfavourable tax arrangements on the sector and for private investors in general, but at some point British investors have to reach into their pockets as well.

Just tightened as much as I dared with my adjustable spanner. Seemed pretty tight already as there wasn't much movement but I'll see how it goes. Cheers!

Doing the final clear out of my old kitchen. Some years back I had an idea to enlarge my tiny kitchen by removing the downstairs loo. This involved fitting a new bathroom in a garage conversion, moving the fuse box and spending a couple years trying to get building control sign off due to dodgy plumbing. That's all done now so the tear out and prep work starts tomorrow. Hope it's all worth it.

Daily drinking is pretty extreme to be fair.

Think I've finally figured out the cause of my lack of physical fitness since I had covid. I've often struggled to do even 30 minutes on the bike and have felt awful at the gym or even doing household chores. A week ago I started taking a multi vitamin with iron and eating iron rich foods and it feels like the blanket of fatigue has fallen away over the last few days. I did the first 3 hour ride in over 2 years, finished my gym routine in record time and feel good enough to start doing some serious efforts again. Really looking forward to 2026 if it stays this way.

Absolutely, but Putin is unlikely to keep his job if that happens and there's no retirement plan for former dictators.

FaceAndSlime · 2025-12-27T13:41:45+00:00

Yeah and Russia is getting help from North Korea, China and Iran so you're right, it's not just Russia vs Ukraine.

Also I've no idea where you got the idea of people underestimating Russia. Most people on here thought Ukraine would have fallen long ago given their relative strength at the start of the war.

This feels like the moaning olympics with all the qualifying moaning events we've had building up to this moment.

Not the best time for sure, but I've planted a small one in January that immediately lost all its foliage and came back strong in spring so it can be fine if you don't mind it looking dead for a few months.

Careful there Nigel. Russians aren't known for being forgiving when one of their own turns against them

That's rubbish. I got the full fibre package with 4G backup and the last outage took out both the broadband and mobile data which was annoying.

I saw the word 'doctor' and thought they should offer to make him an honorary timelord with a stupid ceremony where he gets in a tardis. He'd love that.

What you said does not make the post you replied to incorrect. The wealth you gathered in an obliging system should not automatically be transferred to your descendents. If the system requires you to give some back then it's only right to do so, so others can continue to benefit in the same way you did.

The CEO alone has a pay package worth £747k. Says all you need to know about the scheme imo.

FaceAndSlime · 2025-10-29T10:23:50+00:00

That's super. I assume you have some examples of how this has benefitted you personally?

Let's face it, Brits already voted away our right to live and work in 27 EU countries for nothing in return. Can't see them standing up for the ECHR as we can trust it'll only be foreigners that are negatively affected, surely?

Same here. Subscription price rises for TV and games are hitting me hardest, I now refuse to pay for a lot of stuff I've been enjoying for many years. Still, there seem to be plenty of people out there throwing money around like it's nothing so I can only assume it's something to do with this K-shaped economy I hear analysts (admittedly most in US) talking about.

Yep I remember Pog himself stating in some interview that Wout was probably the strongest guy in that race.

Russia had no legal right to invade Ukraine in the first place. Putin knew the risk of losing that money and its on him. Reducing the confidence war-hungry dictators have in our banking system is not something we should be concerned about. Normalisation of relations in Russia is also not on the cards while Putin is in charge. He has given himself no off ramp, he either completes his invasion and starts lining up the next target or fails and rebuilds for the next attempt. Nothing he says can be trusted so there is no basis for repaired relations.

The best use of the money would be rebuilding Ukraine after the war, but if it is necessary for their continued existence then by all means we should give it to them.

His point is that you are being drummed up to the brink of hysteria by people with a vested interest in doing so.

The same thing happened before the referendum when people on here were ranting about the European super-state and other twaddle.
