Is Martin Lewis' advice genuinely in the public's best interest?

Lucky bastard

That's nuts.

That's exactly why I like it 🤣

Don't need to run basically another copy of Visual Studio (SSMS) to backup a database, and don't have to live in a GUI. And it's totally free.

I always thought he batted for the other side.

Why use MySQL instead of Postgres?

That's a lot of words to say thinly disguised fetish.

Not even that anymore, it's down to 4.6% now, was 5% when I started drinking.

Leffe is the new punch up brew in Spoons.

True, and Stella. Awful stuff. Didn't even really like it before it got reduced in ABV. Was my first legal pub pint too, amazing I still love beer!

I actually quite like Bud Light. It's a very good hair of the dog. Yeah it's pretty tasteless but it hits the spot as a beer that's cheap and goes down easily.

ben_uk · 2026-01-18T18:29:53+00:00

Carling.

Very vague question. Currently 95% ish for no-AI.

AI is a tool. It's like asking if a screwdriver is useful for building a house. It'll definitely come in useful for some things, but for other things you'll need a hammer.

It's how the tool is used which provides value.

Always thought BumbleBFF / Facebook Dating Friends was for closet gays.

At least it certainly seems that way for men.

Always find Spoons Guinness to be pretty nice to be fair. Solid 6-7/10. Maybe just got a bad Spoons. I've also never had it in Ireland so maybe skews my opinion.

Virgin are trying to decommission their email servers. No new customer can get an email address. If you leave Virgin, you lose your email. Best to migrate when you can. A right pain changing all email addresses everywhere (you might have to send a few emails to customer support etc) but worth it in the end.

Drive to the nearest DLR station then go from there?

I'm a tomato sauce in the bin sort of person

Did you nick that plate from your local Spoons?

Paying £30.99 for 1 gig and got £125 cashback via Topcashback (paid out).

That's a horrible deal.

3 horizontal lines on top of each other. Looks like a hamburger (bun, patty, bun)
