    Chemical attack in London...

    I was reading this morning that the police can't find him because he is being protected by an organised crime group, speculation is he was working for them on other matters, and whilst he has no money, is too valuable or important to hand over to the police. Seems plausible as they cant find him.

    King Charles III / Royal Family

    Wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, and he still works at 75. though I doubt he will need to worry about NHS queues. News coverage is a little extensive tonight, but he is the King.

    Should the BOE issue a £100 note?

    There was a 500 Euro note, but was basically withdrawn as it was used extensively for money laundering. Whilst smaller I suspect a 100 pound note would be used for the same. As mentioned here, the government as with all governments is looking to become a cashless society so all spend can be...

    Does anyone have a favourite airline?

    If you are coming to Greece, use Aegean. To got to Asia, Qatar, followed by Emirates. Worst ever - currently BA... and I have travelled literally 1000's of flights in the last 40 years. BA suck now.

    I use the Volkswagen Integration, but since September I have been unable to get it to work, since they switched their Mobile App. Has anyone else been using this? are you still able to successfully integrate this into HA? If so how are you doing this? which integration etc? Thanks

    Smart Bulbs

    We will have to disagree (with respect), I have close to 100, some are almost 10 years old. Only ever had one go and that was after a move. They are also the most fully featured, have a great range + accessories, and offer seamless integration with Home assistant.

    Smart Bulbs

    +1 for Hue, they are more expensive but are the best, and you need to see good smart bulbs as a 20 year investment, a system that you build on, so start with the best

I think at the moment just best to go to an SVR and hold fire until April and see if there are any improvements in deals in April? What are peoples thoughts? Impossible to predict the future I...

    Should assisted suicide be legal (for everyone)?

    Absolutely. I think anyone who has had to watch a loved one decline, would believe there has to be the option for them of another way out, to avoid the pain, humiliation, and distress. The challenge is to develop a system which is entirely down to the choice of the afflicted individual, and...

    What would you uninvent?

    Been said, but the Internet. Information moves too fast, and it feels like it is a blight rather than benefit on peoples mental wellbeing globally. I grew up as a kid without it, it must be a nightmare for kids, especially during school etc.

    who LEGIT makes passive income?

    I went the FIRE route with my wife - for 25 years!@!. We also lived and worked in Asia for 15 years which helped (a lot), but we retired at 48, so I guess we do have a passive income (not touching pensions for a few years yet). Currently living on several managed investments. You do have to save...

    iPad Pro 12.9 or MacBook Air

    Different machines and purposes really. I have both, the Macbook is better for coursework and General office work. Despite Apples claims, the IPad is not a laptop, even with a keyboard, at least not as effective a laptop as the Macbook. The IPad is a content consumption device, great for...
