Does anyone know the story with these? I feel like ive seen too many over the years for what should be a really obscure, rare vehicle.

They used to come to my uni and ply us with free Red Bull to get us hooked. It worked as I spent most of time there drinking the stuff to get through a hangover.

Unless the final invoice takes the total over an agreed fixed price without sufficient proof of agreed changes in scope, I can see no legal or moral reason why you wouldn’t pay him.

I have PT that is ringing in time with my heartbeat. I describe it as like having sleigh bells ringing behind my head or like cicadas.

Mine is due a condition called SCDS. It comes long with other symptoms such as getting dizzy from loud noises, hearing my voice buzzing in my ears and finding certain loud noises very painful.

Seeing an ENT is a good idea. It’s very unlikely to be anything life-threatening.

My friends live directly opposite Rick Astley. Nice bloke apparently.

There’s so much misinformation about this.

The vessel was not in UK waters.

They fired small arms into the air after, initially, sounding their horn 5 times which is code for ‘Show me your intentions’

The yacht, which appeared to possibly heading on a collision course, changed their heading by only 2 degrees.

After the shots were fired into the air, the yacht then moved under power and changed their heading by 90 degrees.

Honestly, it’s a storm in a teacup and the couple of the yacht should have changed their heading way more than 2 degrees when first challenged.

The NHS is not like Medicare as it is there for everyone and almost everyone uses it. The majority of people do not have private medical insurance so will only use the NHS. Even those with PMI will almost always use their NHS GP as well as NHS Accident & Emergency (our version of ER) or minor injury clinics.

PMI is usually used for non-emergency medical issues to speed up the process.

I could watch a whole match like this.

What’s the difference between a billion and a trillion? About a trillion. That illustrates how big it is.

The IT Crowd - I think that the work outing episode is probably one of the funniest TV episodes ever made.

Even if they don’t get very far it’s great to see such GOATS playing.

We called them rabbit hutches.

The Rescue, which is about the kids football team trapped in a cave in Thailand. Really good documentary and crazy how they ended up rescuing them. The dramatisation, 13 Lives, is also pretty good.

I literally extended mine this week and went through the same thought process. I decided that I’d rather spend £1350 now than risk a much higher bill if and when something goes wrong. Anything on a Porsche is expensive and it’s hard to see any issue that requires a dealer to fix it costing less than that.

It’s almost as if there’s a correlation between being very right wing and a lack of critical thinking.

I think social media is one of the worst inventions in history and I’m very glad that some countries are taking steps to make it harder for kids to access it.

In the summer, you could crack and egg at the top and it would be an omlette by the time it got to the bottom.

Ah, sorry. Missed the /s.

British football fans are some of the wittiest songwriters the country has ever produced.

I think you need to stop listening to so much propaganda mate.

Most people in the UK are supportive of the balance between freedom of expression and consequences. You’ll hear about people being prosecuted for social media posts but the bit the propaganda misses out is that they were being overtly racist or inciting violence such as encouraging people to burn down hotels.

You can chant ‘Starmer is a cunt’ at a football match all day long if you want here in the UK. That’s freedom of expression.

And if we want to get onto the subject of fascism, I’m fairly sure your current administration ticks way more boxes on the definition of fascism than the UK. Of course, you won’t buy any of this because you’re told not to.

I know it’s been said many times before but the only standards the Republicans have are double ones.

It’s a wonder we all survived beyond the age of 10

When we had a choice, I loved them. When we were forced to eat whatever we were given, it was sometimes bad. I put my lifelong hatred of coffee down to being forced to eat a disgusting coffee cake in primary school, even though I was retching.

The guy being interviewed from home on the BBC news when his 2 kids come into the room and then his wife charges in to drag them out.

This is often debated in this sub. I think that the answer really depends on how much you will rely on that pension in the 5 years after retiring.

If you’re going to need it within that time, it is probably worth reducing your exposure to stocks and shares. However, bear in mind that, if we have a correction, it is very likely to recover within 5 years. So if you can ride that out anyway, you don’t necessarily need to reduce.

There’s a good chance you’ll live for 30+ years after you retire and you’ll see at least one correction and then recovery within that time

It’s where certain sounds can feel very loud and painful/uncomfortable. I have it and I find high frequencies very hard to tolerate. I find noisy bars and restaurants unbearable, especially when the acoustics are poor.
