    Virgin Media - great service but they really do test my patience at times. (renewal costs)

    I was a loyal VM customer for many years( since they took over NTL), around a year ago I moved house. Checked before I moved and they said they provided a connection there. Upon moving, guy comes out and all of a sudden it's not possible for them to provide a connection. They then proceeded to...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Actually France had more tanks than Germany at the start of the war, many of them functionally superior in some aspects (like armour) to their German counterparts. The difference came down to doctrine. Many french tanks were designed for infantry support as they were geared up for a refight of WW1

    Sorry you are going through this hellarda. She is abusing you. You are not responsible for her actions. Good on you for blocking her, but if she gets into a state and you answer it reinforces her behaviour. The only way to stop it is to not play, IE, no contact. I cannot diagnose her but check...

    Anyone been to Kiev?

    Yeah, it's perfectly safe if you follow the instructions. There is risk, but it is managed carefully. I stayed away from fish in Kiev though ;)

    Anyone been to Kiev?

    I went a few months before they sealed the reactor vessels. It was great. Had no issues with language really. English speakers are around and pointing got us through the other times. Money goes a looonnngg way there, ate and drank like a king and still ended up bringing cash home. The...

    Sorry to hear that, this is one of the worst things you can go through. Especially if there are kids. The good news is you are still here. It might not seem it now, but she has done you a favour by showing you her true self. Spend this time at your parents recovering your mental state and being...

    Untaxed cars

    A bit more detail - there are 13 houses in our cul de sac and 14 spaces. Each house has a space which they own. I own my space, the guest space and the road. I have checked one of the neighbour's deeds and it makes no mention of the road at all. I would have thought that we would all share...

    Untaxed cars

    My neighbour has 6/7 cars. Normally I wouldn't go looking at this kind of thing but he is a menace and his cars are routinely taking up most of the parking spaces round here. I decided to look one of them up (it is damaged at the front) and discovered it is untaxed and has been for years. This...
