    Looking to buy some weights and a bench. Does any one have any experience with the selectable dumbells. For example https://www.fitshop.co.uk/bodymax-36kg-selectabell-adjustable-dumbbell-wtfd2140 - I want to use dumbells mainly, and these seem easier than buying multiple different pairs of weights.

    Can they sack me?

    Well if they couldn't sack you before I would imagine just not turning up for a couple of weeks with no contact will probably give them reason to.

    New Family

    We are not fussed on shape of car, boot space is main concern and seems roughly similar on the SUVs we have looked at compared to Civic, for example a ZR-V and Civic have roughly same boot capacity with back seats up, unless I have missed something. Sportage seems a fair bit bigger though. Wife...

    Tips & tricks for cheap train tickets

    Any old army bases nearby? The stations serving those used to have cheaper tickets historically coming out of London, and prices have never been updated above usual annual increases. For example a ticket to Wanborough would get you to Guildford where you could leave the station, or Brookwood did...

    There were three or four sets I wanted to get with the money off codes on Insiders weekend, but can only do one code per order so would need to do multiple orders and then not get the GWP. Whilst discounts are good I am now hesitating as wanted the GWP and not sure discount is enough to...

    Anti compete clauses in contracts

    Almost certain that would be treated as an unfair contract condition and would not stand up to scrutiny as would restrict your right to work which they cannot do. The company I work for stuck them in our contracts and someone got legal advice - they were told it was unenforceable. Done purely...

    Plus-sized traveler demands free seats

    Cardio will help but throw in some form of weight training and you should see a marked improvement, albeit you may end up putting on more muscle which weighs more than fat. Depends if your goal is just to lose weight, or to improve physique etc as well.

    Plus-sized traveler demands free seats

    Will start by acknowledging there are genuine medical conditions that may lead to obesity, but not in this case as far as I can see from the article. This strikes me as part of the continuing trend of entitled idiots expecting the world to change around them due to their lifestyle choices. Too...

    Junior doctor strike: Union's pay demands unrealistic, says Steve Barclay

    £75k per year is more than twice the national average salary so it is fairly safe to say that is a lot.
