It will be going on the motorway which is why I've allowed myself an extra 200cc over a 1.0L car. So, 1.2L preferred. Any boot space is appreciated. The back seats can always be requisitioned if need be as it will be a very rare event to have a third person requiring to sit in the back.

As per the title, I've recently passed my driving test and I'm investigating first cars. I'm completely limited by insurance, so I'm looking specifically at boring, reliable 1.2L cars. I've seen words such as Nissan Micra, Skoda Fabia, Ford Mondeo (Edit: Fiesta), VW Polo bandied about. How...

I miss C&C Generals - I've wasted so much time trying to get it to run on Windows 10 (and even 7, if I remember correctly). Is that still an issue with it?

There are two schools of thought on mug betting. Some go for the "pick a team and always bet on them" approach as Diddums advocates, whilst others would suggest that there is limited evidence that it makes much difference at all. If I'm not mistaken, Diddums has some impressively old accounts...

Not at all trying to be a 4 asterix - I apologise for coming across like that. I only thought that given it is acknowledged to be a contentious subject, there should be transparency. I certainly do think it is a great offer for people wanting to get into it in time for Cheltenham (although I'd...

'Tis quite clear on the postcard that the referral bonus remains!

You get a referral bonus if the referee continues the subscription into a second month, which most will when they realise the super easy money from the sign ups, even if they want to stop after that ;)

Essentially I just update the High 5 reload page regularly and jump on any close matched (<£1). The closest matches will be in the minutes before the off, but they are fleeting so you have to be quick. You need the first place horse to win by 5 lengths or more, hence it makes sense that you...

It is the same, yes, just the odds are liable to move a lot quicker. Particularly from about 15 minutes from the off, the odds can fly all over the place so you need to be quick. Once you work through the sign up offers, you move on to reloads. These entail placing a qualifying bet (taking a...

Yes, +EV if we're being technical but I'm only a layman so I like to keep it simple! The case I raised on the Yesbets group related to gambling one's own money on a slot without any bonus offer etc, therefore it was -EV. The user in question justified her accounting by saying it was the house's...

You could even do it in front of a homeless person.

Was a little put off by yesbets today. I seem to have noticed (I haven't been keeping track, but it feels this way to me) that there have been a few more "bragging" posts about big casino wins - not necessarily risk free or low risk offers either, but using one's own money. I mentioned that I...

I'm interested to know how much you can charge for a pole being erected in your (agricultural) garden. As for living next to building sites - it's the noise and commotion that bothered me most when I had to put up with it for a few months.

The point is, it's minutes per day. Kids grow quick, but that quick? I'd cycle it if time was such a factor. 1 mile isn't long enough to get sweaty/justify an expensive bike/justify changing clothes so it wouldn't be a hassle. On the odd day when the weather just doesn't cooperate, just use...

Walk... quickly then? I'm sure you could power walk it in even less than 15 mins. Otherwise, your time must be exceedingly valuable to justify a car to save the difference in time - maybe 15 minutes per day.

I like the plan to keep the hedge - much better for the local fauna :) Would be nice to see some progress pics, too.

Most of the time, the private dentists and the NHS dentists are the very same people with the very same skillset, though. By and large, although my experience is mainly with the medical private sector, they don't suddenly become "better" when treating private patients or necessarily "worse" when...

Good advice so far chaps. I'm having quite a good time looking into this deeper. By not making clear NHS vs private treatment, it is my belief that they are in direct contravention of sections 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 2.3.7 and 2.3.8 in the "Standards for the Dental Team" published by the GDC and effective...

Because ££, at a guess. In terms of conflict of interest, his dental surgery is one of three sister practices and, peculiarly enough, he was referred straight to the closest one. I think a letter to the practice is called for. What's the next level up in terms of dealing with such a dispute?
