Housing affordability plays a big factor in things I believe. A quick look on sold house prices *Typing my reply on a phone so can't post in depth. I think that there must be something wrong with those stats - When I was a growing up my Dad was able to buy a semi-detached house in a decent...

Something doesn't sound right to me either. From Macron's perspective the timing seems very convenient. This'll give him political capital to subdue the Yellow Vest movement.

RIP Zoltan, and best wishes to @Zoltans_dad too. I can remember Zoltan posting on th is forum

I'd recommend an Asus UX305. Core-M CPU, passively cooled, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. By no means a high performer, but worth some consideration. You'll be able to get them very inexpensively second hand.

I got to Grade 6 (Distinction) on the French Horn. I was unable to take the exam for quite a while as I struggled to pass a prerequisite music theory exam. Music is incredibly technical, especially the theory / reading music aspects. I haven't played since I left school, but was in various...

I'm in exactly the same position. I find large group situations the worst. In group situations I always seem to assume (or be assigned) the lowest position in the group. In both group and one-to-one interactions with strangers, I feel obliged to keep some form of conversation going, to the...

I've recently purchased a Kidle Fire HD 10, and also have extensive experience of using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1, which belongs to my significant other. The Galaxy Tab A seems like a nice tablet, with all the standard Google services and applications installed. Unfortunately the tablet does...

I don't think that consumerism is wholly to blame. We live in an economy which in general requires dual incomes to support a household/family. Everyone is encouraged to have a "career", commute to work, and pay someone else to look after their children. Complete and utter madness. This works in...

Has anyone been to one of the Brick Live events? I'm considering going to the event being hosted at the Birmingham NEC.

I can remember when the Rustler VXL came first came out. 60 MPH out of the box! A friend of mine ran a Mini E-Revo VXL for a while. The performance (and speed) was insane, to the point of it being difficult to control.

Having had an absence from the hobby for the past six years, I am yearning to buy something inexpensive, cheap and brushless. I'm currently torn between the Savage XS Flux and the Firestorm Flux. Having owned various nitro models in the past, including a Savage X4.6 and Jato, the thought of...

As a prolific user of Google Maps and Waze for walking, public transport, and driving instructions, this was a concern I held about the Moto G5 Plus too. I made the decision to purchase the phone, and do not have any regrets. Even when following walking directions, I do not find the lack of...

Sorry to hear about your heart attack. Will you be able to get your HGV entitlement back, or be restricted to a group 1 license? I've had to surrender and reapply for my license twice in the past five years due to the onset Epilepsy when I was 30. Over that period I have only had two 6 months...

I had Strabismus surgery to reposition/reattach the muscles to improve the alignment of my eyes. Thankfully my eyes are still aligned perfectly even though the procedure took place four years ago. I was given the option of Botox, though as it was ony a temporary (~1 year) fix, I elected for...

I recently had to start taking Anti Epilepsy Drugs and qualify for an NHS Exemption certificate. All my prescriptions are free, even those not related to the control of Epilepsy. This, my free bus pass, and Disabled Persons Railcard go some way towards making up for the loss of my driving license.

I've put £30k into Premium Bonds over the last 18 months (Saving for a house deposit). The most I've won has been £25. A month or so ago the odds of winning anything were reduced, presumably due to the Bank of England base rate being reduced to 0.25%. I'd like to put my savings into a higher...

If you're after something small and compact with reasonable built quality, it may be worth considering the Asus Zenbook UX310YUA. I've got it's predecessor, the UX305. I use this for work and personal use. I've got the version with the Core-M CPU, 8 GB RAM, and 128 GB SSD. It runs Office 2016...

How are the screens on these? Keen to avoid getting anything with poor colour reproduction, contrast or viewiing angles. I've heard bad things about the Dell Inspiron 7000 gaming, but nothing conclusive about the 2017 HP Omen as of yet.

I'm considering getting a HP Omen 15 with a 1050 Ti in it. How are the screens on these? The nearest competitor (Dell Inspiron 7000 gaming) is renowned for having a poor quality screen. Does the same shortcoming apply to the Omens too?

I'm also in the market for a gaming laptop to run these two games aswell - I have a demanding job and no longer feel sutiably equipped for the rigours of playing FPS and racing games. I find ETS 2 quite a theraputic game to play, and it has actually caused me to harbour somewhat of an interest...
