    Best savings account?

    @Whitewater thank you. I had missed that in the changes this year so it works out even better than I was hoping can just use both (or more) now if required.

    @Irish_Tom Cheers, I will watch some YouTube videos on it but feel this might be the route to take. Its a shame you cant use the old iMac as just a screen as that would be perfect!

    Is a wet willy standard protocol?

    The barber lifted my head up and violently twisted it last time I was there which resulted in a nice pop!
