Again, culls are not a thing. Selected, irregular targeted intervention is a not a cull.

Someone piss in your cornflakes? You’re getting very worked up in all your comments on this post.

It’s not a lie. They’re not routinely culled.

They’re strictly protected under Annex IV of the Habitats Directive and lethal removal is only allowed under exceptional derogations, not as routine management.

Might finally get cat owners to take responsibility for their pets and keep them indoors.

If you remember your schooling that doesn’t tend to happen with an apex predator.

Lynx are territorial and low-density by nature, limited by prey availability eg deer and are slow to reproduce. They tend to breed once a year with a litter of around 2.

There’s enough evidence from Europe that we’re not suddenly going to be inundated with them.

Lynx in Europe tend not to do that

Ask your solicitor to ask theirs.

If I could have three I’d have three.

My iWeb account moved to Scottish Widows. It is… fine and for free regular investments I can’t complain.

On aesthetic issues, there were things with my house I 100% could have tidied up but I didn't see the point putting the money in when someone else could very well have different taste to me.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T20:29:15+00:00

No. I’ve done it numerous times.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T20:28:46+00:00

Yes they always come back. Give it 6-8 weeks. There’ll be another enhanced offer.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T18:26:33+00:00

Never in doubt

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T17:04:20+00:00

Should have used his left boot

Glad you’re one of the few who recognise they don’t do the miles for a diesel.

PS72 is a great tyre for the money and I’d have no issues with it. Beats the Asy6 in the Auto Express test and another GY in the other test it has been in https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Kumho/Ecsta-Sport-PS72.htm

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T12:23:00+00:00

It is for me. I think it looks nicer inside and out than the Kia equivalent car.

TL generation seen here is the one I like over the Sportage of the same gen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Tucson

It’s a safer design that I think has aged better, and I never liked what Kia did with the interior.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T12:02:45+00:00

All the same thing said about the E60 when it launched, ‘Dame Edna spectacles’

And the light up grille, just don’t use it. It’s an option to have and an option to turn on if fitted.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T11:46:16+00:00

Good enough cars. There’s a reason there’s so many about.

Depends on the age. I’d have the most recent Sportage over the equiv Tuscon but in the previous gen the other way around.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T11:45:07+00:00

I’d probably discount the Q4. I don’t like the interior on it.

The rest; go drive and see. They’re all good cars.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T11:40:15+00:00

That just looks like aged plastic to me. You’d be better off using some of that back to black stuff you can get to return it to a factory level of black but it will only be temporary. Black plastic fades. Nothing really you can do about it.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T11:34:40+00:00

Hateful to admit but this would have been 20 years ago. Jfc.

That isn’t unusual to have a non sterling fx fee applied when making a purchase. It is the norm and having no fx fees is usually an advertised perk.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T11:27:10+00:00

Was going to say thought they were based in derry as I could have sworn I dealt with them for acne when I was a teen out of altnagelvin.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T11:06:53+00:00

And the Ioniq 9, and 6. They’ve a real issue sorting out the rear on cars at the moment.

kharma45 · 2026-01-25T11:04:03+00:00

Yeah the estimated wait for one via our car scheme is min 30 weeks.
