    US regulators approve $5bn Facebook 'slap on the wrist'.

    If this isn't an indication a corporation is too big, I don't know what is. I understand that the size and scale of their operations may be directly beneficial to users in terms of what functionality they can obtain, however, the fines for this sort of morally reprehensible behaviour still have...

    Using phone hotspot to replace home broadband

    See this deal that combines the SMARTY unlimited sim others have mentioned and a brand new router - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Huawei-E5573Cs-322-unlocked-networks-configuration/dp/B0179F9EVO. You could always grab a secondhand mobile phone to turn into a "router" but I'm not sure that they are...

    Using phone hotspot to replace home broadband

    OP - Not sure what "very expensive" means in this context but the 50GB data only sim deal here is currently a very reasonable (to my mind) £25 / month - https://www.vodafone.co.uk/data-only-sim. Grab a second-hand mobile hotspot device for £20-30 and, going by what you've said about your usage...

    Mindless youth of today

    Why aren't those legally responsible for these ****** being billed for the damage they caused ? Ignoring the crowdfunded money, the ****** (and the people that failed to parent them properly) should be the ones out of pocket here. It's essential we break this cycle of actions without adequate...

    US regulators approve $5bn Facebook 'slap on the wrist'.

    Does such a fine open the doors to a class action suit against Facebook ? The individuals harmed as a direct result of Facebook's action should be able to get compensation for the damage.

    You’re in a 30 zone…

    Which I would happily contest all the way to the top level of court in the circumstances described. With a threat to take the case to the local newspaper too if necessary. CPS would drop the case immediately, once they knew the circumstances - they'd be laughed out of court. Watching all these...

    FRAUD use of my name and address

    Had this happen to me many moons ago with Phones4U and two handsets - a company I had never done any business with. Did all the calling to them, police ... I asked for a copy of the signed application - wanted to see how closely the fraudster was matching my actual signature and was completely...

    What a silly man 'keying £100k Aston Martin'

    Either a knock-off, "fell off back of lorry" or CCs. I assure you he never paid £800-£1200 for it or he never will - bought on credit which he will pay 10p in the £ of in total at most, probably around the time the kid reaches 18. Don't blame the players - blame the game.

    What a silly man 'keying £100k Aston Martin'

    This. If you are going to "flash the cash" so openly in public and in an area with such inequality, you are going to lose it eventually. You are "asking for it" and if you don't appreciate that, you are naive and/or stupid. "Old money" learnt this lesson a long time ago - you will struggle to...

    What a silly man 'keying £100k Aston Martin'

    That's because USA considers your property to be "self" hence it being put down as self-defense. It's kind of worrying you used that level of violence against a person, after they damaged your property, without knowing that. Suggest you make yourself aware of other laws like that - you will...

    Beneficiary of aunts will

    Further to what I said earlier and the timescales others have indicated, don't go spending what you don't yet have ... if someone, anyone with a potential claim on the estate and/or creditors not yet identified comes forward, or the validity of the will is challenged, it could drag on for a lot...

    Beneficiary of aunts will

    Nowt wrong in asking the administrators - they are getting a hefty fee for a bit of paper pushing - make sure you get your money's worth out of that service. Also consider working with the other beneficiaries to keep the assets, particularly the shares as is - liquidating now may well not be a...

    Ticks and the countryside! :(

    Wowsers - http://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/15/us/personal-health-when-lyme-invades-the-brain-and-spinal-system.html ... I thought the "outdoors" was supposed to be good for you ... didn't realise I needed to wear a hazmat suit while there.

    Ticks and the countryside! :(

    What does a tick bite feel like ... would you definitely know you have been biten ? I suspect I may have been bitten judging by the bite mark left behind but I definitely didn't feel anything bite me. Kind of worried I have now got Lyme's ... what the infection rate from a bite from a tick - we...

    How to split rent as a couple?

    London really should be declared a separate country and the rest of England should erect proper borders. Should stop such stupid prices for shelter spreading and infecting the good bits of England. Should hopefully discourage even more Londoners from straying outside London too.

    What's the benefit of open source software to me as a consumer?

    Because they can't be bothered to do their own homework.

    Buying gold & silver?

    https://www.bullionvault.com is another option. I prefer physical allocated gold which is stored in a vault and independently audited over the unallocated nature of ETFs - I felt BullionVault provided that at the best value for money, in the context of the investment size I intended to make. I...

    Four of these - http://www.banggood.com/Cheerson-CX10-CX10-Mini-24G-4CH-6-Axis-LED-RC-Quadcopter-RTF-p-926614.html Create 3-D racetracks with obstacles and see how much you can transport with all four working together with what's left of the £50. Post as many videos on Youtube of the above...
