My Virgin box in my last house was crap compared to Sky Q, so I was glad in the new house when I could get sky Q. Sacked sky off for the broadband though, as their routers are dogshit. Went with Vodafone for broadband and got a wifi 6 mesh for miles cheaper, and it's the nuts.

Yeah so 1 fill before you go, two on route and then one when you get back at some point later in the week to get you back where you started as "full", so that's 20 minutes at best with time put to no other use, agreed? For me it's ~3 stops (plus my 2 x 30 seconds at home, at star/ end) when I'm...

So, maybe 40 gallons at 50mpg, so lets call that 200 litres for simplicity. At say 20ml per cube it's probably 10,000 ice cubes of fuel, if you have a freezer cold enough to freeze petrol/ diesel.

My first EV didn't lose a penny in year, and I got it on 0%. Second was worth 20% more after a year (y) I decided not to sell as it was great on tax, running costs and I could fill it up at home. There was no better EV (or ICE car) I could buy for the same money and get within a year (y) It's...

Are you forgetting the initial fuel and the fuel when you got home or the next day or whatever? I'm assuming you don't have a 1200 mile tank. How many times did you stop on a 1000 mile trip? My bet is most stop every 200 miles/ 4 hours or so, for around 40 minutes, unless they're a robot. I've...

Maybe you've misunderstood, or misunderstood what that "planning" actually entails? I just put the post code in of where I'm going on my phone and send it to my car in the manufacturers app, it's actually quicker than using the sat nav in the car when I get in. Most people are chucking in a...

For the 100th time, it's not just the time taken at the nozzle, you need to factor in for what you don't need with an EV, so include diverting (may only be 30 seconds), queueing, paying, driving out etc. It's a bit like on long trips where ICE drivers forget they need to eat and take a ****, or...

Odd that you think that happens. My car just does that for me, but >90% of trips it doesn't need to as 90% of trips are less than what I have in the battery, or I spend less time "planning" that than it would to "fill up" an ICE before setting off. Worse case is putting in a route on my phone...

They won't get it, ever. If they haven't gotten it by now (after being told by almost every EV driver with actual experience, 90% of which want another EV) they never will, they just don't understand or don't want to, each to their own. Of the 10% who go back to ICE, my bet is most don't have...

Yeah, they're taking the **** with the public charger rates at fast chargers if you don't have a deal through your manufacturer like Tesla and some of the other German manufacturers. I guess the way they see it is people don't use them that much, so will put up with the price if it's still just...

Some more bending of the actual truth it seems, why do that? Or do you not even realise what you're actually doing? What about driving to fill up, wait for a pump, wait in the queue to pay, drive out. All of this is when you can't do any other daily task, or are you just ignoring that? My bet...

It's easy done to be fair, the US Patriots shot down a UK Tornado from my squadron in 2003 on the Iraq/ Kuwait border. It was an automated system then mind and the auto system thought there was a scud flying alongside our other Tornado, when they were flying as a pair. :oops: All it take is an...

From someone who likes a garden but hates hard work guarding and who tried to fight clay in my old house (and lost), you could just bite the bullet rotavate the clay and remove it with a shovel and barrow, then add some topsoil/ compost? Even better if you know someone who has a mini digger and...

This thread made realise there are none which would tick all the boxes often enough for me, to be classed as my favourite. Some criteria: Decent and big beer garden (just goes up a notch, sat outside on a sunny day) Local enough so it's somewhere I can frequent often with a group of mates...

What country are you in/ what is you VPN set to?

I know what you're saying, but you don't really need ballwinners as much, if you have the ball all the time. We still have hackney in there and the rest around him can help in that department. Barlaser reads the game very well, which can be just as good as tackling someone etc. Will work...

Barlaser's a good player to have playing, if you think you will be on top, which I'm assuming we will be. Looks like an attacking side 👍.

It's good not having a 6 on there, makes the card look very nice and neat. I think I've only done it twice, but would be lucky to keep 8's of the card these days, not played in ages.

Yeah, they might, the numbers seem a bit high to me too, but I suppose they might be getting people to air on the side of caution? It depends who the articles are aimed at I suppose and where they live. Peoples versions of comfortable are very different. I think the guide is 50-75% of what you...

Great, cheers for the info and well explained (y) This sounds similar to the forces one I had/ have, but as I didn't do 22 years it didn't pay out immediately. I forgot I even had that until recently so need to figure out what that one is doing myself. I've applied for a second statement for...
