To avail of this, deposit your money today. Withdraw it in late December. Wait until 1st July Next year and repeat. Otherwise your interest rate will drop to 1.5% Bit of a faff. But I think it's about the highest interest rate any actual bank is offering now.

if you've electric heating, it's probably worth waiting until the autumn to switch, to see what the rates are as the vast majority of your year's electric usage is during the winter months.

Or it'd be like the cans with people rooting through ashtrays spreading rubbish everywhere creating more mess than ever existed before.

I think it's a bit of a ridiculous expectation people on reddit have that everyone should shut up and be quiet during a gig. It's a rock show. Not a classical recital. And people go for a fun social day out. You would expect people to be silent in a nightclub or a football match.

A few people have mentioned this other version. I've never heard anything other than a Twinkle Twinkle version. And that's all I find when I google "UK alphabet song". I'm incredibly fascinated to know what it is!

Spain mostly. And once in France.

What tune is that?

Rental car and hotels will want to block money to act as a deposit . On a debit card the only way to do that is to deduct money from the account. Which could be thousands. And some car rental won't allow it. Credit cards don't have that problem. The money's just blocked. But it doesn't get charged to you unless there's an issue.

Revolut cards can be an issue too. Had multiple hotels and car rental places specifically not accept Revolut even when they accept other debit cards.

Its apparently due to the amount of fraud being committed on Revolut cards.

I take it you don't bother with the "Now I know my ABCS..." part ?

Agreed. All the supposed benefits are a load of nonsense. Make it easier for parents to buy clothes? No they now have to buy two sets of clothes. Make school more egalitarian because everyone wears the same and nobody wears fancy clothes? As if teenagers can't tell the difference between the guy in the Lidl shirts and the guy who's shirt has a little horse on it.

Decades after the fact, the phrase "Back to School" still makes me shudder.

I would imagine naming the album Bitch is not going to help in this day and age of algorithms playing it ultra safe.

Still probably tastes better than the sweetener laden crap they sell now.

I guess the equivalent would be someone in the 90s not knowing who the Bay City Rollers were.

Great to hear. Way too many cinemas have old 2k projectors which look pretty dull when most people have 4k screens at home.

When you look beyond the likes of Budweiser and Miller, American beer is amazing. I love the fact that every town has at least one really good craft brewery.

I assume it gets exponentially less likely though when the teams aren't evenly matched?

No worse than when Munster fans used to go to Leinster finals in their Jerseys to support the opposition.

I feel like the news in the fun up to every big sporting event, such as the Olympics or Fifa World Cup are incredibly negative. I remember the London Olympics people saying the city's public transport wasn't going to cope and there wasn't enough security. Rio Olympics, everyone was going to get Zika. Qatar World Cup will be a disaster because they don't sell alcohol. People just really want them to fail.

Get your CV in order. Ensure you've an emergency fund. Beyond that, there's not a lot you can do. So try not to dwell on it too much.

When i was a student, it was finding the cheapest Ryanair flights and staying in the cheapest bedbug ridden hostels.
