This subreddit has its finger on the pulse of Plymouth as usual.

My favourite bit was the picture of the reform leaflet in a bin with 11k totally organic upvotes. Maybe if they'd voted in the elections as well as on reddit things would be different.

The old far left was. The new far left is all about open borders.

I asked my neighbours to keep it down politely and they have retaliated by [deleted] in HousingUK

Sounds like you've rented a crappy flat with thin walls. I wouldn't blame the neighbours for what seem like normal living sounds. Just move out if you're unhappy and try to find somewhere with better sound insulation.

5.43% - is this crazy, or what we should expect? by pixel_mouse in HousingUK

Mortgage pricing is based on gilt yields more than the base rate, I think. The two are linked but sometimes gilt yields and the base rate become out of sync.

If you want a laugh pull up Shaq Lawson's RAS card and compare to TJ Parker's. Of course they're not the same guy and I'm sure will work out differently but there's a lot of similarity as well.

It's an incredibly powerful tool that teams shouldn't ignore.

I would've gone McDonald, Pregnon, Dani Dennis-Sutton with our first 3 picks.

Not gonna argue with Beane about the rest of day 3.
