    Halford professional socket sets

    Mine is also 15-20 years old. The amount of stuff it's enabled me to do is worth ten times the £99 I paid for it way back. I rate them.

    Private healthcare

    I've just gambled on another year of not paying for it through work. I think this will be the last time I do that.

    Official 2024 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread - Albert Park, Melbourne - Race 3/24

    Well I can't see many brits watching live at 4am let's be honest.

    TV on a budget

    £100-£200? I'd just eBay with a filter set to local only, and find the nearest 50 inch that was also the cheapest. They will all be LCD/LED at that price range if not faulty, and therefore much of a muchness. Maybe some of the older Sony smart ones will be decent.

    Car theft - is it out of control?

    Looks at driveway and sees cars from 2003 and 2007 scraping through MOTs... Think I'm alright.

    Purchasing a house located in a very low risk area but surrounded by Flood Zone 2/3

    I wonder why the house is up for sale.

    Locksmith question

    Sounds like a good one for Rogue Traders! Maybe they would be interested to hear from you. Seriously though I would do everything in my power to get back at them by a) recovering money and b) making sure they suffer reputationally and legally and c) to try to help others not get done. Absolutely...

    What have you done to your car today?

    Plugged a puncture again because I CBA spending another £300+ on two new fronts after 4 punctures in 3 years. Will run the fronts through to summer now as plenty of tread left. Bring the hate.

    1.2L Puretech/wet belt issues

    I was looking at cars with this engine and then decided due to this issue...just nope. CBA with it. Same with the Ford ecoboost engines. We went with a Clio in the end with the 0.9 tce petrol turbo. Has a chain. I've seen some of those YouTube videos as to what's involved...fair play if you...

    Do Air Tags count as "Is the car fitted with a tracking device?" when getting car insurance renewals?

    I often wonder if it's worth being able to track and recover your car at all anyway. Even if you luck out and the car is not damaged, and is just left somewhere to see if someone comes to take it back, you probably would have already reported it stolen then causing insurance rises? Then there's...

    England squad announcement

    Henderson, Maguire and Rashford making the team is just sad really. Predictable as well. Rashford I could partially excuse if you focus on just the times he decides to actually remember how to play football. The other two are a complete joke. Sunday league material. Good old Southgate.

    Are Jeans becoming unfashionable?

    Yeah this is the problem. One wakes up on a Saturday morning and ponders as to whether they will be doing any man jobs. Nope...not planning on it today. So on go the nice trousers, and by nice I mean not caped in oil, paint, general **** etc. Then before you've even sat down to lunch, a man job...

    Pension fund performance - do you monitor yours, how is it doing, do you actively change it?

    This week I've tracked down 4 different old pots. 1 with legal and general, and 3 with Standard life. The standard life ones all with the same employment period look like this: 1: DC type pension flexible retirement plan spanning 2004 - 2012 2: DC type pension flexible retirement plan spanning...

    Pension fund performance - do you monitor yours, how is it doing, do you actively change it?

    I found out that claiming back owed tax on pension contributions has a back date limit of 4 tax years. I think I may have lost money on that one as I had a previous job where I think I should have been doing self assessments to reclaim some. Again, just didn't know about this stuff at the time...

    What is this called please? C-shaped buckle for beading

    It may help if you took an image where you aren't obscuring half of it in your fingers like a clumsy, sausage fingered oaf?
