Teenagers are little sh@tes - spy software recommendation?
Not to mention that if he's got any tech savvy and you tell him what you've done, he'll find a way around it. Kids are amazingly resourceful when there's a barrier to them doing what they want. For the cost of a new router, I'd be buying one which has better controls for blocking access on a... -
Becoming a spousal maintenance cash cow - or not
I agree with the others. In your position I would stay perm, and get as much flexibility as you can from your current position. Use this to spend as much time with your child as possible, because the more involved you are in the child's life (aside from that being generally a good thing), the...- Willapp

Singles Holidays
Supposing this was a remotely serious question (I see the OP is banned now...), I've holidayed a few times as a single and it can certainly be done without the aid of dedicated package providers. Key things to remember are: Avoid boutique-style 'romantic' hotels that will be full of loved-up... -
Did you vote in your local elections?
Didn't see the point, I live in a massive Labour stronghold and that's not how I would vote. :wave: -
TSB meltdown...
I'll give you great odds that it was. Let's face it this will be a combination of: - Management enforcing a deadline when the work clearly wasn't done. - Developing with an "Agile" approach in spite of the fixed deadline. - Most of the work being outsourced to low skilled, but CHEAP, devs. -... -
Are You Obese?
I've never tried this, but it seems rather prone to error depending how much effort you put into pinching the skin? I used to have electronic scales that would estimate bodyfat (I think via electrical conductivity). I doubt they were extremely accurate in an absolute sense, but useful to track... -
Are You Obese?
Mine's 23 :banana: But then I'm a competitive swimmer and gym 3 times a week. I'm 35 and according to that page, my BMI is lower than 69% of men in my age group. It does make me sad how fat this country has become, and how little the average person seems to care about it. -
Danbro - Oh dear oh dear
For some sense of balance I have to say both myself and a colleague use them and they've been great, so I would take this with a pinch of salt. -
Change of Location Halfway Through Contract
Yeah this sounds like a situation where actually talking to the client human-human is going to get this solved. They must realise you can't just magically start working somewhere else without it impacting your life. Options seem to be: 1) Do it to keep the contract, accepting you will earn less...- Willapp

Netflix / Amazon Recommends
I love Bosch. Hardly watch any TV these days but somehow I got hooked quick. Can't wait for season 4 to turn up. I started reading the books after seeing the first two seasons, and was pleasantly surprised at a) how good the books are (much better than the Jack Reacher novels IMO), and b) how... -
KFC Closures
Yet another example of large companies making poor decisions to 'save money' and yet it'll cost them more in the long run. It's the same in IT when firms outsource thinking it's more cost effective and yet end up paying the price with poor software and constant budget overrun. I do wonder at... -
Recommend me an Accountant - SJD
To be honest this is the first I've heard about that! I'll definitely look into it but my accountant hasn't mentioned any changes or administration. I've got a friend who uses Crunch as well and he seems happy, but unless Danbro are in trouble then I would still happily recommend them, the...- Willapp

Recommend me an Accountant - SJD
You'll get several recommendations on here no doubt. I switch to Danbro last year after being dissatisfied with my local accountants for a few years, and they've been great so far. I was paying separately for a FreeAgent subscription but Danbro (like several others) include it as part of their...- Willapp
