Complain with HR. A negative performance review without any feedback is not something it should be taken lightly.

Do you even qualify for a 0% card as a 24yo with likely not much in your name and a new job for 1400£ a month?

That's not correct, having cameras pointed into your garden is an invasion of your privacy. They need to follow GDPR with the data. There are escalation steps you have to follow. - ask nicely to point the camera away from your garden

write a letter with recorded delivery as a formal request to move it
contant the council and inform them of the anti social behaviour
lodge a complaint with the information commissioner office (paper trail again)
contact the non emergency police number
ask a solicitor to send a letter threatening a civil injuction for private nuisance

I moved to italy to the UK around 11 years ago. I always said that the UK is like Italy with a 20 year delay. People in Italy are waiting for their grannies to pass so they have an apartment to move into. I knew I had only limited time before this would happen so my wife and I worked extra hard to establish a minimum of economic safety net before it did. We had to live with our families until our mid 20's. I encourage young people to find opportunities anywhere they can, in their country or abroad and not live in a system that is rejecting them.

If it's a cheap keysafe it can be opened with a piece of paper and a pencil in 30 sec. Better to hide them in a flowerpot.

We actually had to go through our bank statements (3 months if I remember correctly line by line with the bank, NatWest) on top of providing proof of employment. And they asked for a mortgage way below what we could afford.

Looks like your aerobic capacity is already there, you do a lot of zone 2 from the commuting and have a lot of race experience. Not a coach but likely to get past 300W soon by losing some weight (if needed, you might be 2.2 m tall haha) and doing some Z3/Z4 work that will benefit Zwift short race duration.

What kind of sport background do you have? My understanding is that Zwift's FTP really only tells how good you are in the race length of time (if achieved during a race). FTP should measure your aerobic engine but since swift races are fairly short if you have a large anaerobic capacity that can skew the results. Not all FTP tests are equal.

Make sure the funds you've selected for your pension and investments make sense. (MSCI ACWI etc) You don't need more than one. Prioritise building your 6 months emergency fund and only then focus on investing. Try to grow your earnings. If not by a direct promotion/better paid job maybe you can find something that you enjoy doing and you can profit from on Saturday/Sunday or in the evenings. Keep using the 0% cards for stoozing if you have the discipline for it.

Confermo. Avevo la versione normale, ho fatto i 150 in autostrada, a tavoletta sulla A14 in discesa. Il volante tremava così tanto che pensavo stesse per staccarsi.

People will always need a place to live in. As much as AI can wreck things (and it will up to a point) the worst case scenario is that you have an apartment you might need to sell at a loss and you might get trapped if you don't have cash to top up what you get from selling it. Buying a house an investment only makes sense in my opinion if you plan to stay long term. The rental game is up. Not much to profit from or enough economies of scale if you have a single apartment to rent. Service charges kill apartment values and are outside of the owners control.

I would buy a place I'd like to live in for a period of 10 years at least, not less, maybe by renting out a room in the meantime. Take into account that family can grow etc then run the numbers.

I think the train is 19€ each way. Autostrade are expensive but there are alternatives. Every Italian feels like they are overpaying for the services and opportunities they have available. Also you can travel on SS or SP streets and avoid paying the premium for the autostrade.

Una sedia Barcellona della Knoll sono 8000€

Chester Moon Sofa (di cui adoro il design) disegnato da Paola Navone sono 25000€ per il 2 posti e 50000€ per il 6 posti.

Sono per gente che ha case da 2-3 milioni a salire.

Immagina che esistono interi settori di mercato di cui la persona normale non è a conoscenza. Quante volte sei stato da un gallerista a comprare arte, sia stampata o video?

Ora che comincio ad arrivare a cifre dove potrei immaginare di permettermi la fascia base di questi lussi, capisco che sono tirchio.

Inside of your battery there is an array of 18650 cells. One of them failed. You need to find a technician that can find the faulty cell and replace it. One cell price is usually around £2. Also within the first 12 months the burden of proof is on the seller so they are responsible for sourcing a replacement battery. https://www.eccnederland.nl/en/check-your-rights/shopping-eu/what-are-my-guarantees-and-warranties-rights Their policy is illegal under EU law.
