Morning all
I worked out who the killer was in 9 bodies during episode 5, watched the last episode last night and enjoyed the twists and turns at the end.

Had been looking at the Audi Karoq, but then noticed that the Porsche is pretty much the same price, under the £40k cut off, with an extra £1500 off from the government.
While I like the shape on the Enyaq, the boot isn't as dog-friendly, which is the primary requirement....

Same thing, different badge....

I've asked for a replacement battery for my JCB drill, as it seems they only last about 20 years.

I'm still contemplating a Porsche Elroq.

Don't tempt me.




You must be flying on a private charter if you are going from my local airport.
I suspect you mean Bristol, which has improved greatly over the last few years and the new layout of the entrance is better. I regularly use the Silver Zone parking...

Just roll them tighter and they won't fall apart on the chairlift....

TFIF, etc.
Overcast and a mild 13C out on our walk. Rain not due until around 9am.

Don’t you have annual car hire insurance?
I think mine was about £45 this year (used to be UK/EU only for £35, but had to upgrade to worldwide for our recent jaunt to RSA)...

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad for emergency use situations like that.
It's origin is a bit interesting - a project I was working on during covid and the client's HR felt that if consultants returned computers at the end of the contract there was a risk it would spread covid and also the expense of...

Overcast and 13C earlier, no breeze and not quite as humid as yesterday. Walking in a T shirt and light jacket in November.

1 day to put scaffolding up - it's not just going up to one window but all the way across the front of the house.
3 days to do the work.
1 day to bring the scaffolding down....

[WTFH]

Let's say £2k for scaffolding hire (that's a wide area to scaffold), £1k for the windows, sills, levelling, filler, cement and paint, probably 15 man-days (3 people for 5 days) at £150pd is £2.25k. Cost of tools, equipment, maintenance, fuel etc £750. There's £6k ex VAT on a back-of-a-fag-packet...

Wet and windy overnight, but it stayed dry on our walk earlier. Quite warm (14C at 6am) and humid out there. If it stays like that I'll be back to short sleeves again.

What "fat" would you suggest cutting from those figures?...

[WTFH]

Yup. 42% of the welfare budget goes on pensions, and pensions increase above the rate of inflation every year.
1% of the welfare budget goes on unemployment benefit.

Guess which ones are demonised by the populists?...
