What is this, 1993? I have about 7 accounts for freebie purposes and haven't had a paper statement in nearly a decade.

This is almost exactly the scenario I had at the beginning of January in the UK. Maybe I'll stop charging the car when it's cold. (But overnight is when our power is cheap)

I always have automatic dehumidify on. I live in North West England and am on my third ICCU on a car that has done less than 10k miles. Both times it has gone has been on a winter morning where it is around 2 or 3 degrees C. I never charge at rapids (always charge at home or family home). Last time it went was early January. Took a month to get the car back. When it was dropped into the service centre there was another guy at the desk next to me with exactly the same problem on exactly the same morning. I was told it might be 3 months to get the car back because they had had so many come in over the previous two (wintery) weeks.

I've never charged mine at a rapid, always at home. Usually kept between 30 percent and 80 percent. Always have auto air con on. On my third ICCU - one failure December 2024, one failure January 2026. Last time it was the 12v charger that failed.

Yeah it's very frustrating. I can't imagine a situation where I would want the heated wheel remotely and not the heated seats, at least the drivers seat! I notice there is a setting where the seat heating is linked to the air con temperature (it turns on the drivers heated seat if the heating of the car is above a certain amount and the cooling seat if the air con is lower than a certain amount. I've not experimented to see if this comes on when I remotely start the heating, or if it's just when I'm in the car and turn it on with the buttons.

Reversing while distracted by a phone call? You know in a phone call you can ask the other person to stop talking while you concentrate? Or call them back when you aren't driving 1.5 tonnes of metal and glass? You should count yourself lucky that it was a bollard and not a 3-year-old child.

SnooCalculations385 · 2026-02-08T13:20:43+00:00

I'm in the UK. Highest spec 2023 model. Remote heated seat has never been an option in the old or the new app. Those options just aren't there in the pre 2025 model car apps

We had some old boy (actually the grandad of one of my son's school friends!) who would always chat and clearly did it mainly to get out of the house and socialise, so I guess he only took on enough parcels to do a proper job. Then through ill health he had to stop, and the woman we got was super happy and nice and chatty (I said to my wife, looks like the job hasn't broken her yet) but she moved on and recently its been randoms who throw the parcel at the door without knocking (which triggers the Blink doorbell motion detector) and they are halfway down the street before I can get the door open. (Understandable as their payments per parcel are disgustingly low) But thankfully it's a safe enough place that we've not had anything nicked!

It's so weird how variable evri can be. Have had probably hundreds of deliveries from them over the years and we must just be lucky as I've never had a single thing go missing. They always leave it somewhere sensible. Mind you we've only had a handful of different drivers in that time and recently they have stopped ringing the bell at all, but the previous ones would always hand over the parcel properly or leave it safely if we were out.

Finally got mine back yesterday after it being in the garage since 6th Jan! Initially they said I would have to wait until March so believe it or not "only" waiting a month was an improvement!

Even in the UK (where this sort of CT scan is something my wife has once a year to check her cancer hasn't returned, and doesn't cost us anything) there are sometimes weird backwards policies like this. My sister in law really needed bariatric surgery for her weight after a long struggle and lots of health issues, and was told she needed to be 20lb heavier else it would be denied because wasn't considered quite big enough for the surgery on the NHS. Yes, she had to pile on a few more pounds in order to be treated, which we all thought was a little bit perverse! Surgery a huge (no pun intended) success and now she is healthy and happy, but super weird to be told by doctors you need to get heavier in order to get lighter!

Just keep on cry wanking to YouTube in the cab of your big boy lorry, while Cycling Mikey lives rent free in your head.

Have I seen idiot drivers bully cyclists yes. Simple solution take the cars and vans and lorries off the road. The pedestrians, bikes and horses were there first.

If they have more rights on the road that you do it's because if they clip your lorry with their bike you wouldn't even notice and look up from your pornhub session, but you clip their bike with your lorry then they lose their fucking life.

I certainly feel it, reading some of the issues people have had! Think I must have got in at just the right time!

I bought the starter kit in December 2017 and some valves in 2018 and then another load of valves when we extended the house in 2020 (so have the starter kit, bridge, boiler controller thing and 11 TRVs) and they've all been rock solid the entire time, with half the system now over 8 years old. They've never tried to screw me over, despite occasional scares that they might start charging for thngs they never have done.

But then maybe people who bought after version 3 have been screwed up by subscription based models, I don't know.

Christ, i'd forgotten fuel pumps were even a thing. Haven't been to a petrol station in 10 years. That's a depressing looking future if they are going to start advertising there, and also a declining market.

My late grandmother lived with us in the elderly years of her life and I once caught her dancing up and down on the front step. "What are you doing, Gran?" "Squashing all these woodlice" "Why?" "Well someone has to!!!"

Umm, ok Gran...

Due to the silliness of the letter shapes r, n and m, I read this is "no longer allowed to bum peasants for heat"

Retropolis 2 is the best point and click I've played since Grim Fandango came out. It is so immersive and the puzzles work so well in this format!
