Thought I heard, " The big German scores, and we're on the Pitch" which was quite amusing.

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...

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...

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!

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...

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

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.

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...

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

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

Monorail.

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.

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

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...

I've just seen a big bad black Bentley reg EW 88 gliding down the road. Full dark glass, the lot. It was so quiet it could have been an EV but I suspect it was just a very expensive and well maintained ICE... Rather impressive.

Or strictly speaking, the Roman military practice of executing 10 % of soldiers as a punishment, and an incentive for the rest to comply!!

A good friend did a 3 month European camper van tour last year. Albania was her favourite place. Corfu is lovely, I have been their many times but is overrun with mosquitos, you will need to take a lot of care or else bitten to pieces. Be careful you don't go in height of summer. Temperatures...

My battery died 18 months ago. Green Flag garage sent a great guy who diagnosed a broken internal connection. He got me home and returned 2 hours later with a new battery, £115 fitted. He also checked all my tyres, pointing out 2 were 5 years old and starting to craze on the sidewalls ...

Given the age of the battery and your problems then yes I'd say its well worth replacing, as its likely to give up in the next year or anyway. But before doing that do you have breakdown cover? If so jump start it and drive it a mile away and call them. They will have a more sophisticated...
