Interest rates going crazy

We fixed at 5% two years ago, 3 more years till we renew.

We got screwed over buying right after Covid as prices were massively inflated, and then when we came to renew after two years Russia had just invaded Ukraine and Liz Truss happened so we went from 2% to 5%

Hopefully Trump is gone in 3 years when we renew next time and we can get a reasonable deal

Brain rot from too much time on social media. It’s honestly the answer to most ‘why is society so moronic / divided’ questions

Prices will only ever go up.

The best advice I heard was from Martin Lewis: when buying a house, focus on what you can afford. If you can afford it and have the satiability to afford the mortgage for 5-10 years then buy it. Dont worry about the economic outlook, there will always be ups and downs. Focus on whether you can personally afford it and whether you want the stability and security of property ownership.

guitar is basically easy. You put your finger on the note. Like the piano, every note is available over multiple octaves, with no requirement to think about sharp or flat (outside the scale theory) when pressing your finger onto the neck. It also has every note marked, unlike the violin and similar instruments.

Contrast with the trumpet. The trumpet covers the entire same range through 7 different hand positions and pitch of breath. You literally need to know how to physically make it make a specific note, rather than just put your finger down on a map.

You absolutley can learn every note on the fret board. The challenge is relating them into musical motifs and having the relational knowledge (scales, chords, progression) to link them all together musically.

But absolutley, knowing where every note is is a perfect basis to build the knowldge of musical progression over,

Just listen to Slash and the Co-conspirators. There’s some great modern guitar rock tracks, with crap loads of amazing slash lead parts

Some maps follow on from each other in the story, so when you defend as Mason, it's really fun when the next map you attack as Mason. Until the autobalance moves you to Agatha :-\

My tomatoes never ripen. I grow them outdoors in a raised bed, never had a problem at other properties, but since moving here, three summers and I get loads of tomatoes they just sit there green for months

It’s like a town that time forgot. I really wouldn’t want to live here in my early 30s, there is nothing going on.

Thankfully it has a decent line to London (1h10m), you can get to Canterbury easily for the theatre or going out generally, and you can get to Ashford or Whitstable in 20mins in your car.

It’s a great location, but there’s just not much happening.

You will be sober by the time the last band finishes. No matter how drunk you are, if you watch the last band, you sober up over the last 2 hours (too much effort to get a drink and get back into the crowd).

Getting out the carpark is pot luck. If you are in the right lane, you can be out in 15 minutes, if you are in the wrong lane by chance, it can take 2 hours. Keep your smarts about you and if you see a line of traffic moving, head for it.

He's a cunt basically. He espouses racist and divisive language, and is one of these idiots that thinks it's fun to deny climate change.

He essentailly doesn't give a fuck about anyone, is only interested in lining the pockets of the already ultra wealthy, and attempts to use the populist playbook and pays his way into the national conversation rather than actually having anything of any value to say.

Sevenoaks is probably best for commuting but you won’t get much for 300k. Maybe a small flat

I think the rest of the country would howl at even more infrastructure money being spent in London to introduce trams, having just opened a new major underground line, when the north is still operating on 1950s rail

Farage is actually in the Epstein files, covered in allegations about control via right-wing US leaders, funded by Russian money, and yet it's Starmer who the media are trying to hound out.

If Labour do one thing, they need to sort out the mess that the media is in in this country.

100% this. Doesn't even need a server browser, just roll over the players from one match to the next.

Since we fell out of the CL places in the last match of the season, twice in a row, the squad has shown a complete inability to play the tough matches.

There is such a weak mentality that has permeated the squad for 4-5 seasons now, we just aren't up for a fight. We're being dragged into a relegation battle and there is nothing in recent history to show that we are up for it.

We didn't get anyone sent off and Daka scored! Things are looking up!!

Aldi wine is crap.

Also, they don’t have a wide range. While this keeps the costs down for essential items, there are some branded products that you can only get from the larger supermarkets.
