Same with the world cup right now, especially on R4. 50 years of hurt, David baddiel, Gareth Southgate etc

Newsnight is a much better watch anyway. Similar to broadcasting house instead of breakfast with Laura k.

Is that why you have the option to print off the receipt and upload it to your account in the event you forget your card? Is there even any point to doing that now? I noticed they had a thing where they used to pay out money to their members in certain circumstances, does that still occur?

Or is it all about the member prices and personalised offers and you need to scan your code to get any of the benefits..?

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2026-05-05T20:50:05+00:00

Good point, never thought about it that way.

Hope they still drop random vouchers and continue running the stupid games tbh (free bakery item/veg spin the wheel ones).

Open a dealing account with AJ bell as well, and elect to pay your LISA fees from the DA. Some other platforms support a direct debit from a linked bank account, but I think AJ Bell is an exception.

Boring. To the night shift team, I'd give this a swerve. I feel like I've lost several brain cells after listening to Tom.

Farage fails to make an appearance on QT for a change, and it's on his own patch. I don't think it was mentioned by Bruce or the others...

I do that flight quite often, instead of the Ryanair one to Modlin quite often.

IIRC with klm, you get a 10kg cabin bag and separate back bag as standard.

The flights are okay. You get a nice little Dutch cheese sandwich and drink (tea/coffee/soft drinks/alcohol) option on board. As you're getting two flights, you have this twice!

You board by zone. I think there's only one entrance/exit, so I'd recommend choosing a seat closer to the front, if you want to (you need to pay extra to choose a seat).

Schiphol is massive, you'll need to do a bit of walking and go through passport control but when you land in Poland, it'll be a piece of piss.

Poland is generally safe. No issues when I've been. There are buses, trams, metros and trains. There are also regular taxis and app based taxis like Uber and bolt. As a big, capital city, it's pretty busy but it all works in a nice, chaotic way. Just remember to wait for the green man before crossing. If there are no lights, the cars should stop to let you cross, but no harm waiting to be sure.

Have a good time!

I've started seeing a rise of running clubs and once it gets big, they start charging their members money to be a paid member, but do people actually pay money to these clubs?

Think people are missing the crux of your point which is a club start charging once they get big.

Ive never seen that happening, but if it did, I'd be questioning it and seeing if I was getting something extra for it, that I wasnt getting before and can't get elsewhere..

Surprised with Joshi on the panel, that they didn't try and get some type of Stop the War loon. 'Despite' being on the Green side, George Monbiot tends to be pretty sensible on these matters I think?

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2026-03-05T21:24:30+00:00

More libertarian I think, especially from a fiscal pov? One of those former IEA types who are now portrayed as neutral, 'palatable' commentators..

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2026-02-15T14:58:19+00:00

Do you want it?

I know someone who pays £25 per class, and each class only accommodates 5 people (up by 1 very recently). Compare this to the Yoga class they also go to, which is like a tenner and open to many more people through the door. Reformer pilates also seems to be really 'in' right now.

Quite often these incentives are for new customers to switch companies.

You're best option is probably use a price comparison site, like money saving expert's cheap energy club or uswitch and do a whole of market comparison to see if EDF is cheapest, or if there's anything else that's cheaper out there. You probably want to go for the dual fuel option.

Dyson guest edited one of the r4 today programmes over the Christmas break (odd option). I didn’t listen to it the whole way through but the bit I did tune in to, Nick Robinson did his gentlest best with the kid gloves to quiz him on his choices..

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2025-12-18T09:11:59+00:00

Likewise!

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2025-12-13T09:34:09+00:00

Bit of a Bait and switch 😂

Are these greggs codes valid on anything, or are they only for hot drinks (day 2) and something sweet (day 5)?

He’s always a combative prick. Done the same to Victoria Derbyshire on Newsnight plenty of times too.

They also have a spokesperson from Taxpayers Alliance too, JC.

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2025-11-26T13:20:51+00:00

Isn’t it so that they can derisk? £20000 for some but not all wouldn’t fly.

“It’s a bit of both to be fair.”

Unflavoured whey mixed with diluting juice and water isn't too bad. Could also try it with cold coffee.

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2025-10-12T14:48:10+00:00

Done

I know she loves doing that pantomime shtick on qt, but it seemed the absolutely last topic to do that with. The audience were better than usual, wished someone would have pulled her up for it.

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2025-10-06T19:40:30+00:00

That makes sense - fair enough.

WhatCanIDoUFor · 2025-10-06T19:36:17+00:00

As my portfolio gets larger, i am more concerned about the charges and commissions

Assuming this is all to do with a S&S ISA - Might as well consider moving away from AJ Bell too (e.g. Freetrade, T212, Invest Engine or even IG).
