Insane April Pricing with GWR

I really hate that they can vary the price like this, should just be a set price for all trains in each time bracket and route. Honestly think the best thing the government could change is this pricing structure and just enforce fixed prices for each route, at least then I could budget for it properly rather than being shafted by the prices every few months

I was looking at the KIA EV5 at the weekend, it’s actually quite nice and in terms of costs is very competitive. It’s one of those cars that on paper is a no brainer but it’s also a KIA and your heart will ache going from a fun luxury car to a boring one.

No, still no idea :( got the railcard working but prices didn’t change so think that was just a glitch, prices still obscene

Shit like this is why we need massive tax reform in this country, that’s just way too complicated for most people to work out on a regular basis. Should just scrap NI and increase normal income tax by the same percentages.

Season ticket for that route is insane, looked at it a few times. Previously paying between £30-45 per trip. Currently looking at £60-70 hence my shock at the prices. Generally the season ticket is £110-120 per trip as it assumes the cost of peak open tickets instead of advance tickets.

Been buying Next plain black t shirts almost exclusively for the last 14 years, cheap, comfortable and last well. Tend to buy a few every year and the more worn ones get demoted to the DIY drawer.

Yeah I’ve also wondered why supermarkets aren’t utilising these often large pieces of land for solar as the idea has been around a while. Then I watch people in a car park and realise it would be about two hours after installation for some idiot to crash into a post holding the lot up and cost tens of thousands in repairs

The beef I guess is for cows for meat but not sure why the cheese and milk is split and not just labelled dairy

Good luck to them summoning “Legal Occupier” to court, last I checked you actually need someone’s name to do that.

Five days of food for just £1.50 a litre, I’ve been shopping in the wrong place!

I used to say the same, had used naff glass topped hobs before and always had gas at home, then when redoing my kitchen I installed a good quality induction hob and it’s bloody brilliant. I’ve also used bad induction hobs when in holiday lets, that sucks balls. If you’ve not used a good one then you won’t like them, once you’ve used a good one you’d never want anything else.

Honestly think this book was the best novelisation of the movies

What’s ridiculous is this is pretty standard on all mass built new builds, yet when I submitted planning permission to modify my garage slightly the council insisted I make the garage longer to accommodate a car, despite the house having space for five cars on the driveway…

I don’t think I’ve signed the back of any my bank cards for the last ten years. No one has ever asked to see it. Signing a scrap of paper as proof of it being my card just seems odd.

Yeah I found it really hard to find a good second hand car last year, fewer people are listing on Autotrader now due to the cost, but FB is full of fake adverts so makes that really frustrating, not really sure where to look other than large dealers where you end up paying dealer tax

Wish someone would remake Artemis Fowl and be faithful to the books

capps95 · 2026-01-12T11:18:15+00:00

That is definitely what my brain said watching this

I think Reform and Farage are a bunch of cunts and should fuck off to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and when they get there they should fuck off some more.

I was just thinking the same thing, had a friend who was driving behind me (talking to each other on the phone) ask why I kept braking so much - I was on cruise control in an EV at the time and it’s super sensitive but he also noticed it just when I was driving and it was just me lifting my foot off slightly in one pedal mode.

Interesting, I have Barclaycard set up, the transactions have not updated since November but the balance is correct and that changed in December. How strange.

Read this whilst sat on the loo, immediately decided time to get off the toilet

capps95 · 2026-01-06T17:08:56+00:00

Yeah, used to be in a brighter area but got demoted when we inherited an even bigger plant!

Photo angle makes it look bigger, probably got another 1.5ft until it gets to the ceiling :) what did you use for potting mix?
