    Barbecue Recommendations

    My current set up is a 57cm Weber Kettle with a rotisserie attachment but got a yearning to be a pitmaster and do some good brisket. Have tried in the kettle and result wasn’t bad but needed a lot of micro management for a very long time to keep temp stable. Thinking about one of these -...

    Are MSP also considered inside?

    Seeing as I am starting to come to the realization that 99.9% of contractors are going to be deemed inside, because that is how the entire IR35 has been designed. Are managed services providers also going to be seen as inside? For example BT or another large managed service provider has a...

    When was the Last Time you were Excited by Something?

    A rather depressing conclusion to a conversation I was having the other night with a group of 40/50 somethings was that the older you get, the less joy / excitement one derives from things. Is that true? It certainly can seem that way. I look back over my life to date and events that I can...

    Ever Been in a Rock Band?

    I've previously posted about my involvement in Cut Double but I was wondering if anyone here is/has been in a band & has any tales to tell of their time on the road? One of my most memorable nights (though, for all the wrong reason - it was a very sad night) was a gig we did at Somerset College...

    Black Wednesday at the Telegraph

    For every James Delingpole heading for the exit, there seems to be a Dan Hodges or a Mary Ridell to replace them. And now Ben Brogan and Damian Thompson are off. As the article points out, there seems to be a concerted effort to move the Telegraph to the same wishy washy centre left ground now...

    Things that set alarm bells ringing when buying a house

    Now I'm sure most of you live in big country piles so don't have to worry about the pitfalls of living cheek by jowel with the great unwashed. But a recent experience of an acquaintance of mine made my mindful of the fact that the things you need to look out for when choosing a property go way...

    Attitude to Fixed Income in 2014

    First, a confession. I'm a newbie investor. That said, I'm finding the task of building a balanced portfolio somewhat bewildering and the more research I do, I find I have more and more unanswered questions. Putting equities aside for a minute, I believe that fixed income funds are generally...

    HTC One V

    Complete nightmare fitting the SIM on this phone. No instructions - just the usual health and safety guff in every language in the world. Took me ages to work out the back doesn't come off there is just a small removable panel. Took that off and saw that you slide the SIM actually inside the...

    Sockie increase?

    Is it my imagination or does there seem to be a marked increase in the number of sockies/imbeciles posting here. Is it because it's been raining and therefore they have more time to waste on the internet? Will it decrease over the next week while we have some nice weather?
