I don't use Facebook, thank god. As far as I can make out it is a way to mimic real human interaction in the main and have connections with people you barely know for some weird psychological reasons, that I'm sure there is a medical term for. Also it feeds some voyeuristic tendencies as...

Tea. Some god awful Sainsbury's Red Label.

Would not disagree with that at all. Objective in life in my opinion is contentment.

No longer my hero :(

Dude....you're my hero. When the world starts coming to an end I'll be coming over to your place.

This +1. OP, Critical illness may be worth considering for piece of mind but insurance is in its nature a balance between cost and your attitude towards risk.

Apologies, no idea why I quoted your post - it doesn't relate at all. But I still stand by my statement.

If Anaconda steel existed, I'd invest....DYOR.

29, No mortgage (paid off), 2 cars, a wife, no nippers (yet!), save 4k a month. End willy wag....but there is always someone with a bigger willy, awaits inevitable :p Original OP, I would stay clear of property, stock market still has some way to go although I think it will retrench a lot...

Just watched "Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps)" and must say it was quite enjoyable. Maybe it is the memory/nostalgia of simpler times in the 80's economy (with the first movie) and the optimism of those times contrasting with what I think is a bleak future ahead for western economies and...

I'm thinking of getting a new job. It will be lower paid but with big +'s of being less stressful and perhaps even part time. As you can imagine I'm in turmoil about turning my back on my current job and later regretting it. But at some point you have to say enough is enough and do...

Some of the relationship counselling given on here is moronic and in any case the originally OP friend is where he is now and apportioning any blame on him for checking his partners account is pointless. Simple thing here is what would the girlfriend think if he was talking to some bird and...

Ok, I'm going to sound totally jaded here...but I also assume 'the family' income is subsidized by the state in child benefit, tax credits and if he has a child at Uni (as mentioned earlier in the thread) free tuition fees. :mad: :mad: I'm a higher rate tax payer and sick of seeing the amount...

Yeah, I leave my mobile locked in a draw at home at all times - taking it out is asking for trouble :)

I perhaps worry more than I should about the future. Fear the terminal decline of UK, Europe and US. Demographic predictions of world populations are frankly scary - no water, no food, no oil and pensions messed up due to ageing population in UK and lots of other 1st world countries. There...

THAT + hotel room = Gideon's business model

I've been to Maui, nothing really that amazing to be honest. I'd much rather go to the med and stay on a Greek island. I think it is over rated to be honest, I'm not saying it isn't nice _ it's just too far to go when there are so much more nearer place that are similar. Swimming with turtles...

myself...never been a big poster though, mainly lurk. Alphanumeric, Miggyman, 2blue4u

Do this! The pass gives you metro travel and entry into a couple of sites of your choice (means you do not have to queue in the same line as everyone to buy ticket), I suggest itinerary as follows... Day 1: - Buy Roma pass at central train station - Use pass to travel from station to...

Hi All, I've been thinking of treating myself to a decent watch recently. I currently own Omega and Rado vintage watches but want something a little more modern or new. Also I've heard/read/been educated, that watches like Omega, Rado, Fortis, Longines etc. are massed produced marketing...
