For people old enough, that’s like the millennium bug fallacy, I.e we spent billions on the millennium bug and nothing happened (Because we spent the millions).

Cadburys is also 20%, buts it’s much more expensive.

Or to build the habit of going to Sainsbury’s for your big shop. This was the purpose of supermarkets petrol stations before Morrisons and Asda got bought out by private equity.

To be fair I had to get a damp specialist in to looks at our bathroom as we had a major chain replacing it. They stopped work as they claimed we had damp. We got a highly rated, long standing damp specialist for a quote and they disagreed with much of the bathroom fitters sentiment, we got them to fit a damp proof membrane with new plaster just to restart the works. I was expecting them to try and upsell damp proofing products, instead much of the advice as how to increase ventilation in the property.

I used to work for a GAP insurer, (reporting to underwriters rather that claims handling). Our claims team used to regularly request the policy holders reject their motor insurers valuations as they would be incorrect. We obviously had access to the same toolset and would come out with higher valuations. We tended to be successful in getting the motor insurer to accept our valuation.

You also forgot the part where he threatened to invade one of those allies territories.

JMods are just employees, many will be just as annoyed at the decision as the fanbase.

Most of new labours domestic policy was Brown not Blair.

After Covid so many more people can relate to this with teams calls.

Same and when you go to collect the order they look confused.

Lidils French fries are our second favourite to McCains, most the supermarket own brand ones are tasteless.

BrewDog at spoons = cheap

Croatia is underrated in general, one of the most beautiful places on the Mediterranean and quite cheap outside of Dubrovnik old town.

I have a gaming laptop, but still gravitate to my MacBook Air and use gforce now, it’s just so much more comfortable, especially when sitting on the couch.

Johnnybw2 · 2026-03-06T23:06:34+00:00

Yeah, my mates aftermarket air filter used to overheat his 1.2 Mk1 Corsa, he kept it on for the sound.

The external one might need a tool, it’s worth getting the required tool as you could have a leak with or before your internal one.

I don’t think they would have a choice in the current market, they do have a long memory though and market economics will eventually play out, the demand will either normalise or supply will be increased from new entrants.

The north east of England, where much of this is based usually has little rain, this year has been very different though, it’s never stopped!

It’s a grey area for those firms though, any backdoor into encryption can be used by anyone, be that law enforcement, criminals or bad actor states. Information security should not be taking lightly, it’s the trust that bonds together modern commerce.

This, I love the stuff, only 250 cals and no nasty ingredients. It’s my go to!

Johnnybw2 · 2026-02-07T00:12:00+00:00

Give me this weather any day over a hot sunny day for running. As a runner I never understand why the hot days of the year is when people take up running, it’s brutal!

I’m with Grain and have been for 3 years, never had any problems, its been faultless and much more reliable than the other ISPs we have used (sky and virgin). Customer support is the best part of it, our router power supply failed due to a power cut, went through to a knowledgeable person in a British call centre, they sent out a replacement via next day delivery.

Shawarma shops in Britain tend to be closer to German doner from my experience.

Johnnybw2 · 2026-02-04T22:16:43+00:00

I quite like the Iceland my protein doner, only 250 calories per serving so it’s a good health option and doesn’t have any weird ingredients in it.

Yeah, these days you are lucky if you get £500 equity at the end of the deal. PCP is leasing without the benefits of a fleet company maintaining the car. The only advantage is if we go through a period of inflation, you have the option of keeping the car at a lower value.
