    Dune: Part 2 (2023)

    I hope not - I thought it was an awful book...although maybe a film could improve on it! Anyway, saw 2 on IMAX on Saturday and was very impressed - I agree with what someone said above - it was spectacular as a cinematic experience Being overly familiar with the book was a bit irritating for...

    Making The Bed

    Not really - we got foam one from Dunelm for ~£170. If you get one too thick you'll have to buy new fitted sheets In reply to @throwaway4372 's nasty jibe :p, our mattress was very firm and quite expensive but over the years became more uncomfortable. It wasn't the mattress that was the...

    Making The Bed

    Agree re the topper. We kept going on holiday and having great sleep, and when we returned home, having rubbish sleep. Went on for about 2 years before we realised it was our mattress vs our old bones. 1 mattress topper later and everything is great

    So, this post office palaver then

    I'm a bit late in here, and have skimmed through the thread I haven't seen the documentary but there's a BBC podcast called The Great Post Office Trial which makes a good listen (apart from the endless repetition you get from short episode podcasts) The last few episodes are informative and take...

    WFH - From Abroad - Why not?

    Why would your employer do that when they could employ someone locally for less?

    WFH - From Abroad - Why not?

    The main reason companies don't allow it is for Tax If you have employees working in a foreign country, the local tax authorities may deem that your organisation has created a "Permanent Establishment", which can lead to multiple risks in relation to tax and corporate admin "A permanent...

    Will / Probate question

    But it’s not about the beneficiaries. The solicitor has been instructed to act, no-one else. From their pov, not acting is not in line with their client’s instrcutions

    Will / Probate question

    I'd be interested to know how that goes, as it's against what the Will has directed Could do it with the solicitor's acquiesance, I'm sure

    Will / Probate question

    Are there any other Executors listed? If not, the solicitors are the Executor and they will be reluctant to give up the £000's of fee income by letting someone else do it Unless the solicitors can't or won't act, the role should be performed by them If there are other Executors, it should be...

    Assange to go!

    Neither you nor I know the exact reasons, and neither are we party to the risk assessments that will have been done I'd like to assume that the prison service know what they are doing and are acting on guidelines that have ben set, ultimately by parliament, and these are applied equally in the...

    Assange to go!

    If house arrest is not part of the enforcement options available to the authorities, what are we supposed to do, rewrite our legal code, restructure the prison system and police force to accommodate a non-national who has given the UK 2 fingers and already shown himself to be a flight risk? He...
