    [Albion] What were WHU singing yesterday in the first half?

    [Misc] Retirement

    Check your pension forecast as mentioned. I worked full time since age 16 and retired at 63, but for many of those years was contracted out of SERPS (State Second Pension) because of my work pension, so I didn't get full years. I retired 2.75 years early and will be buying my shortfall as...

    [Help] Can anyone recommend a good hoover?

    I'm currently using a Samsung Jet Pro 90 cordless. It comes with a rotating floor cleaner accessory, fantastic for the kitchen and dinning room floors. I still have a Dyson cylinder, now 10 years old for deeper cleans, but its heavy compared to the cordless. I've bought Samsung cordless Jet...

    [Misc] Should we scrap imperial units and go fully metric?

    Ah I knew it. Metrification was invented by Plumbers to guarantee them work, forever fixing leaks in mismatched fittings installed by us innocent non plumbers!

    [Technology] Have you changed your internet router?

    I'm with Sky for broadband (and a 3 box mesh network) which has been exceptionally reliable with ok speeds, something I need given the amount of homeworking in my house. But Sky has given notice that my old, Sky supplied router, will no longer be supported after Dec. I'm reluctant to change...

    [Albion] Man of the Match - Fulham (H)

    Close call but for me João Pedro. He worked his socks off and then showed balls of steel to score the pen.

    [TV] Uncanny - supernatural TV show/podcast

    Not for me, but Mrs Elbow, and 2x Elbow juniors are big fans. They went to the Brighton live show and had a really good time.

    [Misc] In apocalyptic scenario... how long could your household survive without leaving the home?

    I'll bite. Food, I could last 3 - 4 weeks maybe 2 - 3 months if rationed. I grow limited stuff in the garden, a few strawberries, tomatoes and lots of herbs. I have an allotment but rules say I can't go there. If summer, I can sow seeds, dig up lawn and grow veggies. Electricity. I have...

    Sadly ripped out years ago when upgrading my plumbing...

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    £200 this month. £38k holding, and averaging just under 5% for the last year.

    [Albion] Sensible, cheap and realistic solutions to the evening travel "issues".

    Or half price even?? I'm sure it would make a difference.

    [Albion] Where is your Albion mojo now?

    4. Not helped by this transfer window and the out going loans / sales. I really hope things improve, but I wouldn't put any money on it soon.

    [Misc] GCSE options - which would YOU choose?

    Classical Civilisations, Computing, Economics, Geography and Psychology. But I could have picked 10!

    [Football] Personalised number plates

    Interesting. I might have misremembered but don't think so. I wonder if some numbers ( like royals? etc) dont show up to us mere mortals...
