    Loft conversion vs Extension

    We have just started our loft conversion. Went with builders that have had good reviews, they encouraged us to speak to homeowners where they have done previous jobs, seemed like they knew what they are doing... Quoted us 47,000 + VAT initially, but this went down to 45,900ish after some...

    Is there any one single course I could do to get a starting/entry job in IT?

    Not sure where your based, but if you are close to a big NHS trust look to see if you can sign up to their bank staff roster. Whilst I was working at a trust years back I had colleagues there that had no IT background whatsoever that got into 1st line support (its basically customer service...

    Auto correct samsung galaxy S21

    Need to check if the keyboard is the same as your old phone, I had to change mine as the default one was different to my last phone. Also possibly look at keyboard settings. I am now using gboard which has the option of auto correct as you type under settings.

    UEFA Euro 2020 Final Italy v England ** spoilers ** [Sunday 11th July 2021]

    I reckon most work places will let it slide if England win, after all most were not alive the last time we won a major cup. Obviously excluding the life and death roles and emergency services etc, we don't want them to be going into work drunk! Maybe Boris might even give us a bank holiday.

    Minor accident - should I report?

    When I had a non fault claim (someone hit me from behind) my insurance went up on renewal. I asked why and the advisor went on to explain regardless of whose fault, statistically if someone has had an accident once they are more likely to have another one, hence why their premiums are likely to...

    Wokery

    This guy is totally on point. We need more of this type of reasoned discussions to tackle the issues rather then just generalised rubbish you get from the media most of the time. Unfortunately it doesn't happen often as you get the extremists on either side jumping on it and using it to try to...

    Catch up services with a unified interface

    Sounds like Sky will do this, but I am not sure if the catch up feature works without a subscription.

    The "I might pay over £2k for GPU and here's why" self flagellation thread

    When you put it like that it sounds crazy! However the same could be said for most things in life. The top end consumer goods is usually for wealthy to enjoy. E.g. a budget car will get you from A to Z, same as a top end one, however you just travel in more luxury/speed. Same with graphic...

    Do you play more video games now that your a parent?

    Can no way play the hours I used to before getting married, not enough time or conviction to play competitive MMOs anymore. Shortly after my first was born PC and Console pretty much went into storage. Only recently I have started to get 9-12 for game time when its not movie night, however some...

    Child Maintenance

    I guess if she has a small business selling through Facebook etc then she can easily show she is not making much.

    Child Maintenance

    If its 2 cars and cottage are already paid for would not matter I guess as it is based on her income rather then anything else? Also is she living with someone else? Maybe she has stopped working? What does she do for a living?

    BT personalised offer...

    That is true when you actually get down to the gaming, but these days everything requires massive downloads. Gone are the days you can put in a disk and start playing straight away. As mentioned above by someone, when you are a casual gamer, i.e. I only have an hour or two each week to play...

    What would you call an average wage?

    Don't they take into account a big jump in interest rate when they calculate how much they will lend you? Unless we are talking about a double digit interest rate! yikes. I keep on telling my Mrs we are better off with a smaller mortgage when we move rather then maxing what we can get, exactly...

    It's too hot :(

    I would love to leave windows open, we get a good airflow if we open windows on either side, however my mrs goes crazy paranoid that bugs will come in, we usually get a lot of spiders come in so windows need to stay shut at night :? If it gets too hot the AC needs to come out.

    What would you call an average wage?

    He needs to make the most of it while he can. Automated train drivers are coming to London according to the news article I read last night, although tbh given the tech we have now I don't see why they have not already implemented them. I was driving my Rav4 the other day on the motorway (first...

    What would you call an average wage?

    If you are mortgage free, have no debt then I am sure most people would have a similar outlook to yourself. I am in my late 30's and would love to be in a position where I am able to get a lower paying less stressful job that allows me to spend more time with family also. However having to pay...

    If you are close to the end of your current contract then yes, you can get a good deal from them, similar to new customer offer. However if you are still in contract will be close to impossible, unless someone else here can tell you they have managed to get something good mid contract. As an...

    Crypto miners could soon flood eBay with cheap CPUs, motherboards and SSDs

    Those with a few rigs should be getting a bit nervous now, although they may not be doing anything wrong, the police may come busting down their doors thinking they running a cannabis farm lol!
