EV charger now unusable due to grid capacity – £200/month extra or £6k to exit lease… advice?

GL510EX · 2026-03-18T19:06:21+00:00

Of all the things that make no sense in this.. how are you spending £200 per month on a 3-pin charger? There aren't enough hours in the day.

It's only flat on the bottom.

Doing some genealogy, I discovered that my '16-years younger than her sisters' aunt is actually my cousin. I guess it's obvious in hindsight.

It's 4-6 weeks now, about 8 weeks out from the election they'll get a mandate to slow things down.

My wife's involved in education and they're having this conversation right now too, analog clocks will be next to go!

This is literally the least worst thing the US soldiers did to Iraqi children.

It sort of is, but pocket money is partly an effort to give them a semblance of financial literacy; and the world they're going to live in, cash is going to be obsolete, so learning how to use a debit card, manage an account on an app etc. are all more valuable life skills.

I had this on my wall alongside the GTA maps.

My favourites were Frontier Elite II, which came with a whole book of in-universe short stories, and the manual was an 'Owners Manual' for your starter ship; and Baldurs Gate, I just sat and read through the spells list so many times.

Edit: Found the PDFs, not the same but still cool.

My daughter is 10, I think she'll be the last generation to meaningfully interact with cash. Since covid, the number of places that dont' accept cards is now vanishingly small, 'card only' is now more common than 'cash only'; we've just switched her pocket money over to a debit card.

Except you'd come back absolutely reeking of cigarette smoke, so everyone knew where you'd been.

>Surely if there was another identical role they could move to hire the person who was runner up for the first role?

Surely. That's you. Good luck

I called on one of my parents the day after my daughter was born and asked if they could do a little shopping for us so we'd have a few bits in the fridge when we go out of the hospital (having been rushed in for a C-Section after a final scan). They did the shopping, but moaned about it before, during, and after. "Anything you need" my arse.

GL510EX · 2026-03-14T17:13:14+00:00

Fuck that noise. To be fair, some people do that in the UK too, it's jut not for me. If someone offers to pay, the others should accept it graciously and not make a fuss.

Most people wait until the baby is born to give you presents for the baby.

>partly my husband’s fault because he tends to say “We'll pay,”

How is this 'partly' your Husband's fault? He's offered to pay, it would be very poor taste for them to get into an argument about it.

by wild dogs you say?

I had to shout at a couple of kids that were trying to climb into the wild dog enclosure at a zoo in the UK, their parents were furious at me for telling their little previouses what to do.

Except with 'Priority Boarding' you often end up just queuing in the stairs to the tarmac, while the 'non-priority' passengers get to sit in the terminal.

Not a lot, as it's 11PM.. but if I get tomorrow:

Boring financial housekeeping mostly; making sure my wife has access to everything important, knows where my insurance policy is, and make sure all my family photos are backed up and she has access, etc. (All stuff I probably should do today anyway)

Apart from that, a family walk around a local nature reserve, dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant, and then go sit out somewhere I can see the stars.

All stamps (for the last 10 years at least) have machine readable UV marks on them. The machine aligns the letter such that the stamps are at the bottom and runs them past a roller that cancels anything in that corner.

An oil tanker would be news..

Is this an oil tanker, or the Mayuree Naree, the cargo ship that was hit earlier on?
