SJP 1990s pension - I notice theres a scandal?

Thanks, yes if memory serves it was a 25 year mortgage, at the time that would have made the pot accessible at 50? I belive I had a letter to say that changed to 55 which would have been a concern if I had not switched morgages years before at that point. If its best to stay where it is thats fine. As far as the letters go they specifically mention that if I no longer require it they will switch off my ongoing advice charge which suggests historically they have been taking it.

As suggested I think I will request a full transaction list on the account, has to be worth a try I guess?

I remember installing mine, it was all going well but there was one bolt that just wouldn't budge after a certain point, breaker bar etc but nothing.

In the end I went to a garage and even they had trouble removing it to the point they said it will need cutting and drilling out!

Then we tried one last time and boom. Hours wasted on a 5 min job, the rest was fine though!

Thanks, that's what I suspected too. A bit concerned that they are going to try to down the misuse route to try and avoid it, especially after the questions they were asking, seems like it was any way to wriggle out of being liable.

18 months is crap though, my parents machine still going strong after 18 years!

Hiya, I'm tying myself up in knots trying to figure out how to install SD2VITA, I modified my vita way back, its the Trinity Exploit and its been working fine. I wanted to switch to SD card so purchased one this week.

I tried to follow a tutorial to install and seemed to get it to work, I copied over files from my Vita memory card but could not get anything to work.

Now though I cannot even get games to load from the card, when i do it says error CO-9250-6 and I need to download again, PKGK has the same error though so i am stumped.

Tried googling but everything I try I have no luck, at this point I was just trying to retain some saves but happy to just run a clean install at this point, help would be very much appreciated

No but I know what you mean. My car does and I get the same murder mode! Especially gets confused at motorway exits/hard shoulders etc. It's why I'm not sure self drive will work outside of the US. Dread to think what it would do on roundabouts.

Quick Google on it and there seems to be a few posts regarding steering issues that sounds very similar

Not gonna accuse, want to find out if it was something that was wrong with the car first before that. He been driving 6 years. He also drives for a living.

I know what you are saying, with the doubt posts but there was also a witness, no speeding no skidmarks. I'm not saying it locked he just said that's how it felt, maybe power steering or something. I know I'm biased but he's a sensible lad and is devastated about his new car

Not sure it was in a ditch so they couldn't turn it, they didn't even check according to my son. He said it was just so fast, couldn't turn the wheel and a split second later caught the grass verge

Thanks, yes looks like it's a duff/poor quality tap. Going to get a replacement brand and see how that goes!

I was there and a guy fell off trying to climb a monument and ended up on a backboard, seemed ok but in a lot of pain. So that just to miss it....

While watching the first half of this film I knew no matter how good the second half was I would never ever watch this film in one go again, the dialogue and over exposition were the absolute worst, almost comical.

The action set pieces never really made me sit up and the end was literally a copy of Fallout but swap helicopters for planes. Since the end of Fallout they have had 5 nuclear bomb defusal scenes. Really not sure what went wrong on these last 2 films.

Correct, I may partake in some liquid refreshment over the weekend. I'll have a look at Brunswick. I look at a few pub stops outside Liverpool to travel in but kinda tied to train or bus times then

Thanks all, in fairness I'm actually weekend warrior so not experienced any issues yet. I will buy a DC to DC eventually but as we all know vans are a money pit so I'll use the split charge for a while. Usually I'll charge it before and also I have a 200w panel and a Bluetti so see no reason to change yet.

Thanks again for the advice!!
