    A long shot I know but does anyone happen to have a Dell D630 laptop laying about they would be willing to gift or sell? It must be this specific model too unfortunately.

    [Finance] ISA advice please

    I understand the annual ISA rules and am ready to open one this month but my question is whether in subsequent years the tax free interest benefits remain? I'm guessing not and tax is liable on an ISA from year 2 (assuming a 2nd is opened in the next tax year) but I can't find anything at all...

    [NSC] How do you multi quote?

    Help needed, never been able to do it on NSC in the various platforms it has been hosted on. I click "Quote" and get a banner all across the top of the screen: Repeat for other posts and get the same banner but then what? I'm using a Windows PC, not an Omsung Phine or anything fancy like that.

    [Football] Can both England and Wales progress to the knockout stages?

    I've read the permutations for each team still possibly getting out of Group B and also looking at the table it seems possible that both teams can progress. Wales win by 3 vs England and the USA and Iran have a low scoring match i.e. 1-0, 0-1 or 1-1 or 2-0 Iran I think. If we end up on equal...
