    New Star Trek series - 2017

    Cringeworthy? Yes. Pointless? no. We got to learn more about the rest of the bridge crew in that entire segment than we have learned over 4 seasons, just as it's all coming to an end.

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Should try renewing when you're still on Sky+ "you should be on SkyQ, here's a package which is £20 more than your Sky+ account but it's so much better because you can get UHD for an extra £8" It's £28 more then?

    Fleecehold

    The original intention behind fleecehold was because councils were being forced to adopt substandard sites where roads and open spaces (as insisted on per the planning) were not up to suitable standards, or completely ignored before handing over and councils were having to spend thousands...

    New Star Trek series - 2017

    Burnham still switching from whispering mess to talkingsofastsoangrynobodyshouldcareabouttheirownopinionjustdowhatisay far too much, doesn't seem to be an in-between where every other respectable captain sits. Once again they've introduced another captain who is 10000x a better character after...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Sky's "winback" team could only offer me a new contract 25% higher than the one I just cancelled AFTER the price increase. They can see the account but they seem to be forced to ask "how does that sound". They'd have been better off offering to uncancel the account. Probably well within the...

    What is the best car you've ever owned and a brief reason why?

    Coming up to 11 years with my GT86. Kept it after the PCP as there was nothing out there I wanted to replace it with. Was tempted with the GR86 but decided it was cheaper to upgrade the GT86 than to start another PCP. For the price I can't think of a better car I'd want, especially now it's...

    Fleecehold

    It wouldn't be so bad if the estates looked like Centerparcs, but it's the council planning departments which insist on so many houses per acre, the design strategy and the tiny back gardens with large open spaces between properties to reduce overlooking. If planners went back to allowing...

    Fleecehold

    Try mixing this with shared ownership. Double layer lease with two sets of incompetent management companies. I had a look at the information pack for a non shared ownership flat in the same block as mine, their ground rent and service charges were double what mine were so either I'm on to a...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Just tried Sky on demand for this weekend: In the main "sports" category I can see FP1, no FP2, no F2 qualifying. Those were over 6 hours ago. If I search "Formula 1" I get Styria Qualifying Highlights. If I search "F1" it has the 2024 build up show from Sky Sports News.

    AI in healthcare.

    This shouldn't just be for diagnosis but across the entire NHS. The two most common excuses we get from medical professionals when considering treatments are "I wasn't made aware" or "I don't believe", where the professional either hasn't had time to read up on new studies and treatments, or in...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    That's what finally nailed it for me. The on demand catch up services for sporting events is awful, especially for F1 which they have been the "home" of for 15 years. If I miss qualifying then I've missed it, the catch up services are not available until pretty much the next day (I use skygo a...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    After losing access to billing once again, that's Sky's way of saying they haven't acted on what they said they were going to do and again my account had not been cancelled as promised. Instead the agent apparently had an error while cancelling and instead of processing it, they ignored it. No...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    3rd agent finally cancelled the contract. No penalty, 5 months in to a 18 month contract. They've introduced a new term where once the cancellation has gone through you can't re-negotiate. That 50% off leaflet is cheaper than what they'd increased my price to after telling me I was on the best...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    The latest price increase is pushing my contract up 17.5%, once again going to cancel mid contract as my contract states the maximum it can be increased is 10%. Only just got the account fixed from the other issues it had.

    Madame Web (2024 - SSU)

    Regret watching that. Written by 12 year olds, for 12 year olds, with the consistency of a 12 year old trying to tell lies in an awkward interrogation. The free upgrade to 4DX was the only thing keeping me awake.

    Water Bill - Anyone beat this?

    I'm on my 2nd meter in 4 years as the first one stopped. Water comp tried to charge me a "typical" property for the year they reckon the old one was faulty for. I'm not sure the 2nd meter is any better as the standing charge makes up 72% of the bill, not the usage. I've supposedly used 14m3 in a...

    Motorsport Off Topic Thread

    I'm so glad they mentioned they were installing a heatpump for their swimming pool in that article. It's really helped clear things up. Maybe this technology could be used instead of the tyre warmer ban. "submerge in hot water before use trackside".
