Had an eye test today and the opthalm..optol..octoph.. eye lady suggested that as I have to swap glasses to use the laptop or phone I should give varifocals a try.
What do others think of them ?

Mrs H is a few months short of a full state pension on her NI record and she has been offered a part-time job which she hopes will fill the gap. I've looked online and I have found that she needs to earn over £123 per week to get a...
For the last few days/weeks, I have to click the back button twice to go back on NSC. All other sites (pornhub, xhamster etc) are fine.

86 gigs in a year doesn't seem that many to me; in my gig-going (and hearing destroying) years of 1980-1987ish, I went to dozens of gigs a year in Brighton and London.

Got there about 3 hours early.
Coming back, the coach left at 20:00ish. Took us over an hour to get the five-odd miles to the M4. Then the coach broke down at the Newmarket but, fortunately, the company is based...
Wife and I are planning to trip to NW Italy, flying in and out of Genoa and were thinking of spending a couple of days in the city. Anyone been ? Dos and don't ?
Our penultimate game is against Southampton and, given their current position they might need a result to have a chance of staying up. This led to wondering have we ever beaten (or drawn with) someone and thus ensured their relegation ?
Well, lucky old me, just bagged a pair of tickets to see us give those whey-faced poltroons from Croydon a proper leathering...
Anyways, my son is also coming and he is a coeliac and is also vegetarian.

Has anyone had a "help to buy" mortgage that they've settled when moving to a new home ? If so, did your solicitor/conveyancer deal with, or give guidance on, getting an independent valuation ?

We're having the house done up and will be having a new boiler/radiators and other pipework.
My heart says copper, my wallet says plastic.
What's best ?
Long story sideways, I retired early in 2019 but I'm thinking of going back for a couple of years, preferably part time but might do full time.
I don't really fancy working weekends in Tesco, looking for something more in line with my skills and experience (telecom for 35 years, magistrate for...
