    I got Szobobozbobozbobzllalalai. Packed Rafa about 10 times so far. I have about a dozen in total but they are nearly all the rubbish ones, only decent ones are Kudus (from WL rewards) and St Maxim but they don't fit in my team. West Ham lost yesterday and their next two matches are Liverpool...

    Glasses wearers - help please!

    This is all true in terms of a like-for-like comparison but ultimately your assumptions in the first line are a bit of an unknown, we don't know how big the work monitors are, how far away he sits from the monitors at work compared to home (some offices it's hard to move the monitor screen close...

    This Business and Moment...

    Bit of a weird scenario at work just curious if others have had similar in the past (TL;DR day-to-day job itself is OK but bit some concerns about the medium term big picture)? So I have a job where I feel I'm adequately compensated for my role, am not overworked (currently), get on pretty well...

    Should smart phones be banned for under 16s?

    This is a tough one. On the one hand, I feel like kids need to grow up understanding the world as it is today not what it was like when we were kids. Smartphones are part of the world today and being proficient in using them / the services you access through them is a useful skill to have. I...

    This Business and Moment...

    This is probably a whole separate can of worms that could get quite emotive but one reason for this is the spiralling minimum wage, that is effectively reducing the differential in pay between traditional minimum wage jobs and slightly more advanced jobs that haven't seen an increase in salary...

    Old Games Kept Alive By Community?

    Quakeworld (the multiplayer variant of Quake) has a small but highly active community, still playing high end tournaments. I went to a LAN for it Sweden in January. What's really impressive is how much work has been put into the server/client over the the past 25 years since ID stopped updated...

    My assumption is it is being extended to 8am Wednesday. I think last year it was like that, basically 4.5 days in total.

    best 1.4 hatchback for under £3000

    A 1.2 turbo is fine. We have a 2L hybrid now but done A303 plenty of times in 130hp 1.2. Fiesta 1.2 less so I assume.

    UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread QF 2L ** spoilers ** [16th - 18th April 2024]

    So basically what you find in football is that often the fear of failure overcomes the opportunity for success when it comes to risk taking. Away goals: Supposed to avoid away teams parking the bus, in reality, makes home teams park the bus. Golden Goal: Supposed to encourage attacking play to...

    petrol stations price discussion (was ‘chaos’)

    Fundamentally I think the original statement was a bit misleading which has led to the confusion - prices did not fall because of the attack by Iran. They fell (only very slightly) after the attack because of the geopolitical aftermath of the attack and stance from US etc as mentioned, with the...

    UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread QF 2L ** spoilers ** [16th - 18th April 2024]

    It doesn't mean nothing though, it means the second match needs a winner to decide the tie, unlike if there is a victor in the first leg. The whole point is you play home and away to make it fair, rather than just playing one match, both sets of fans get to see the big european tie at their...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Inflation is more than 50% above target currently, even if it is heading in the right direction. The way I'd position it is that inflation is now at a level that reduces the chances of rate rises (compared to 5%+), but it's above 3%, that's not normally the sort of level you'd be scrambling to...

    Reddit is dying

    I hadn't really thought about it that way but I guess you're right: Opinions get upvoted, so by default they get presented at the top, and readers are also subconsciously told "this is a good opinion" by the little upvote counter, so it sort of indoctrinates them into that way of thinking (or...

    How much crap do you have on hire purchase?

    OK that's fair to distinguish between loans and HP, but I was replying to a poster specifically mentioning loans. Regardless, my point is mostly around how we define 'affordability', and I don't fully agree that inability to pay for something outright in cash means you can't afford it, even if...

    Reddit is dying

    OK to build on my post from a couple of months ago about my experience as a relative newcomer to Reddit, this is bizarre. I've been posting on online forums since the 90s, and probably wasted too much time on some of them (...), but I've never got particularly wound up. Yet Reddit for whatever...

    It was increased to 100 years ago :) Worth noting that posts per page however regressed I think(?), many years ago I think you could have 200 posts not 100.

    After some general views/advice on cooling 5900X

    Thanks, amazed someone would still be using the same case as me! To be honest I don't want to get into proper case modding, I know I'll end up doing a bodge job and regretting it, the fan holes would be misaligned or something so I'd end up with only 2 screws holding it in, slicing my hands...

    Changing Roles and company

    Agree with Dowie, don't just look at the headline pension contribution percentage. 17% is great but you can build a bigger pension with 3% never mind 6% if you are getting paid enough.

    How much crap do you have on hire purchase?

    Depends what we mean by "afford it". In the purest sense, If you make all the loan repayments, then it was affordable. Plenty of things you can't buy outright are affordable with a loan, because requiring a loan is just addressing the amount of cash you have today, not the amount of cash...

    Yeah you're probably right, this is the type of **** that would drive me up the wall if I was a manager. Anyone getting into an argument over a pen (excluding the designated taker and captain) would be fined two weeks wages as far as I'm concerned as I'd have spelled out the letter of the law...
