  1. Just as you say egg, it's a frightening weight, at such larger sums, in a very uncertain world. I probably paid more than I could have right the way through my mortgage. I just wanted as much security on the payments as I could get, so had a couple of longer fixed periods in there. Around that, interest rates fell and stayed low for some decent periods. I bumped a bit about it, but I had the comfort of being safer from sharp rises. I also had the advantage of a bit of equity going in, which made it liveable, with a bit of headroom. Something, as Turkish said, is so often not an option when to get anything, you're already having to overstretch.
  2. When the long day of consulting detective work is done, and the cries of the beggars and workhouse bound have subsided, Watson and I like to look fondly back on the days of mercantilism. Upon which much of the industry, nationalism and foreign policy was built for our empire, which from our vantage in the 19th century, we're sure will never end.
  3. It was www.daringvictorianankles.co.uk You were on our radar, in security, even then 🙂
  4. "Still, looking on the bright side... y'cant, 'cause the powers been shut off."
  5. I always found them hard to swallow. Just setting out my credentials for the next IQ slagging match. 🙂
  6. I only caught Jordan saying that Sweeney was not marketing the sports. She is marketing the prediction market company. Therefore, it's disingenuous for people to be claiming all of women's sport is up in arms about Sweeney representing what they do. Which was exactly my reaction. Discussing objectivity for advertising is a different discussion. And one Lighthouse pretty much covered above.
  7. So you did. Missed that. The last time I paid attention to our funding of nuclear energy we were looking to build pop-up reactors. I don't recall if any have actually been started. I think the gov were struggling to get private investment. An example of investor issues, was a little before the above, where we were going to prop up the existence of a French company by guaranteeing them exorbitant fixed energy prices, and other sweeteners to build things here. Always good to read about rip off prices, endless open-ended contracts, less regulation combined with quicker building times and termination of tendering processes for decommissioning due to dodgy decisions. I've complete faith in our decision makers in this sector. My own energy costs have plummeted, thanks to the warm nuclear glow in my community, that also keeps the sky light enough to read by.
  8. Seems like he'll be getting his chance, as you say. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c6wyzg91zm4wo
  9. I say we invade it, and use it as a migrant clearing zone. 🙂
  10. They were my favourites in Jurassic Park.
  11. From my local's menu regular chips £4.20 and large chips £6.20. There's plenty of local non chippy competition, that also stay open later. I'm just a bit hard wired into going there. Particularly from local football. Now here I am, counting the calories from my half time pie (that the local club notice if I don't buy one every match) and knowing I can get much cheaper, healthier fish based meals from the Iceland 3 doors down from the chippy.
  12. Wow. A quick check shows the online price of a fish supper at my local chippy to be £12. I always go in, so will diligently research in shop prices this weekend. £12 has smashed that magic £10 barrier!
  13. All women are brilliant. If the deep state hadn't sabotaged her, Liz Truss would have shown her brilliance too.
