You can dress that up a number of ways. There will be plenty who say they might have got the Tory government they deserved, but in Starmer are about to get the Tory government they wanted.

Mike Williamson’s MK Dons play Crawley in the Div 2 play off 1st leg tonight. I’ve family who are MK Dons STH’s (I know, I know) so keep an eye out what’s happening there. Williamson did a very tidy job at Gateshead and is doing a very similar thing at MK. Slipping a bit under the radar...

That’s just a load of Tory-rag crap to make existing home owners feel a Tory government would see them creaming it in for being sat at home doing nothing. It doesn’t talk about the affects on the housing crisis, what rents are predicted to do in the next four years or how those rises will push...

WW 1 - 2 CP

Thanks for that, much appreciated. Great to see Lando get his win but really please do to see McLaren become a force again. Feels like so long since they last were.

Fantastic!!!! Sounds like McL and Lando have done RB for pace as well as strategy. Was that a likely one-off or genuine hope the races can be a proper contest from here?

In A&E 2.5 hours into a predicted 6 hour wait. Lando bagging this is a right fucking tonic. Get in son.

Chuffed for Lando and McLaren. Chuffed Max and Horner are going to have a shit week too.

Having to follow on bbc text - Max moaning “car won’t turn” Any truth in that or just whinging because not winning?

Thing was when the crash came interest rates dropped so the affordability was improved. If you were able to stay put and ride it out you could do quite well. The poor sods who got mullered were those with little equity to start with who quickly fell into negative equity who then hit problems...

The S/C mortgage application was a farce. Essentially there was good equity securing the property anyway so the Bank’s advancement would’ve always been recovered in the event of a catastrophic outcome such as my bankruptcy. That was fundamentally the reason they didn’t care what the funds were...

Late ‘92 locked into 5.75% for 5 years. Marriage and kids was on the horizon so made sense to fix costs to help budget over that time. Don’t recall exactly but pretty sure rates stayed relatively stable over that time and the minor premium was worth it for peace of mind. While these rate hikes...

There will be conditions around the sale, it was discussed on SKS thread around the Angela Rayner CGT issue. It’s one of the reasons she held onto it when she married MR and conveniently planted her brother in. I’m not a gambling man but I’ll take any odds anyone is willing to offer there is no...

No doubt at all it’s much harder now but whilst most people who’ve owned property for a long time have done very well, it’s worth remembering they will have ridden some rollercoasters that took them to the edge too. There is the massive interest rate fluctuations already spoken about by...

Have always done basics like brake pad replacement and the likes, but decided to up the diy repair game as it felt like the bikes were always in the shop needing something doing and the costs were adding up. Bought some fairly cheap Amazon tools and set about changing bottom bracket, rear...
