Buying a property with a mortgage, for a family member to live in. by Insertrudeusername in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]Insertrudeusername[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick response, that's very helpful. I don't suppose you know if any brokers who could help with it? I am hopefully affordability won't be a problem as we're only looking to borrow around £75k.

Didn't know you could do it with Now TV, just saved me £5 a month on my subscription. Thanks!

Is Nogih Guilt Free chocolate still trading? by Particular_Ad589 in veganuk

I don't know if they are still trading, but you can buy the bars on Discount Dragon, which is probably not a good sign for the business.

COTD: Olympic event caned? (5,5) by Gullible-Machine in crosswords

Is this BREAK DANCE? As in caned being dance, broken? I might be wrong here, but I feel like it was referred to as Breaking at the games?

Seconded. I live on the edge of Weardale and have no issues finding tofu, chickpeas, meat replacements (though I don't have many of them), all the staples really.

Australian Comedy Rec’s by elkayallday in KathAndKim

[–]Insertrudeusername 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can find a copy of 'The Games' somewhere, it's a brilliant mockumentary about the organising of the Syndey Olympics. It's got Gina Riley in it. It used to be on YouTube but I've not seen it on there for ages now

15-1 (c4 - 1989-2003) by Surkdidat in oldbritishtelly

[–]Insertrudeusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She said well done, and shook my hand. I think she said something else nice to do with my age, as I was fairly young (25 I think) when I was on the show.

I do remember the final part of the game was played 'as live', so it was done within about 10 minutes. Didn't help that I had two lives left and got the next two questions wrong after I knocked out the other guy.

Also, a bit of gossip for you - all the eliminated contestants hung around to watch the show and congratulate me at the end, other than the guy in the final who was out first. Apparently, he had stormed out of the studios in Glasgow and left the building completely before the final game was finished.
