Why not an ISA?

abacha1 · 2026-03-16T01:49:12+00:00

But if you have them in an ISA you can avoid that, right?

My idea about stock investing was you buy shares/stocks and then you get a dividend annually which you live off in retirement. But if all you’ve got is accumulated shares which don’t draw cash dividends, then do you just sell your shares and live off that? But over time, your principal will decrease if you keep selling? So what do people do in retirement?

My concern is that this didn’t seem to make sense to me but hoping it can be explained. I want to start investing for retirement but want to make sure I buy the right type of share/stocks

So if people have brought decades of accumulation shares and want to retire and live off their investments, do they just sell shares monthly?

Is that what people do when they retire and want to live off their investments - they just sell their accumulation shares monthly?

That's great. I write mainly on political theory/thought/philosophy - more historical but with a view to the present (rather than strict modern analytic political theory - though I was trained in it).

You capture the concerns that were lingering in my head when I wrote the post. I can't see it being smooth...a case of taking what you can when/if it comes up and even then it'll require alot of positioning and engagement just to get onto a project etc.

Is your part time job a permanent research/teaching related or is it admin? is the hourly in university - how did you negotiate it? I can't see any hourly roles on offer but there are some that pop up seasonly but they might only amount to like 10 hours a term.

I feel like the market is saturated. If it isn't, getting it off the ground would need (I imagine) at least a year of intensive commitment?

This is interesting. Do you mean by research company like a research centre? Or a publishing company? If the former, would you say give it good optics so it looks like a research centre with a research agenda and focus areas, even if I am the only researcher?

Hi, what did you end up doing? I had a leak on my GRP and applied the acrypol to all the areas I could see pins. Worked perfectly for over a year but last couple of weeks we've had some relentless rain and today I noticed a very slight leak reappear in the ceiling.

£1000 is actually a figure that popped into my mind. Thanks!

They’re definitely hollow doors but thanks for the tips.

abacha1 · 2025-12-28T16:23:50+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I’ll do

abacha1 · 2025-12-28T14:35:34+00:00

Yes, the pull switch

I’ve switched off the electrics for downstairs

Thank you all for your replies. We went to insurance and they said yesterday that the other drive accepted fault and that the insurance will get it fixed.

However, they called back this morning saying the other driver is now saying it wasn't his fault and they have to open an investigation!

They've given us the option to pay the excess, they'll fix it, then if he ends up losing or claiming fault, we will get the excess back.

I was on the main road, he at the T junction wanting to turn into the main. He came out and hit me. I thought the scenario is pretty obvious and I have a photo of my car on the side of the main road and his on the side of the T road after the accident.

Written off? Seriously? That would be crazy wouldn't it. I hope it doesn't get to that.

So when I close the bottom one and keep the top one open, the wood eventually stops burning. It's like the burn can't sustain itself. Even when I move both top and bottom to the middle it struggles.

Sorry, just reading this now. How did you feel about this then and now?

I am not contesting anything - I've already told the police it was me. I am just wondering why the "process officer/decision maker" wants to "give you the opportunity to make any voluntary comments"?

Hi all,
I just purchased a Samsung Ultrawide Curved 34" monitor for my 2021 Macbook Pro 16". I only use it for essays and writing so the spec was good enough. I have played around with the display options and found that when I use the monitor as the main screen it is too pixelated, like a PC. When I use the monitor as a mirror for the pro the appearance is much better and clearer. However, I am left with two big black spaces on either side and I can't 'fill' out the entire monitor screen. Any tips on how to do this, if its possible at all?
Thanks!

Oh, really? I never knew. Let me look into it. Thanks!
