    PC gaming build - £2k

    Thank you for taking the time to review this - it's much appreciated. You include items that are "preorders" is there any way of identifying when these are likely to come into stock? I was thinking of ordering this today, are there any obvious alternatives? Is this a sensible upgrade on...

    PC gaming build - £2k

    Hi all, My trusty gaming computer has unfortunately died (it was purchased in 2016 so has had a good life). I would really appreciate anyone casting an eye over the components below and offering any changes or advice. I already have a large case from my large build which I am planning on...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    A not wildly dissimilar request to that above, I am looking to set up a monthly investment of c£2000 per month into a couple of managed funds. I have built up reasonable stakes in UK companies that I have faith in / work for / know people who work for them (c£40k split between 4 companies) and...

    XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

    Must admit I havn't played LongWar 2. I lost a whole summer to LongWar1 and have 7 month old twins so can't repeat that! I often buy CD keys but I wanted to support the devs so bought at full price from steam. Perhaps will be more cautious next time, still a lot of fun :)

    XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

    Anyone else feel that calling this "Xcom 2.5" and that they were considering releasing this as a stand alone game is a bit cheaky? I love XCOM and I don't regret buying the expansions but it feels like a decent piece of DLC, nothing like a whole new game. Considering I paid £35 for it I feel...

    What car to get?

    I was thinking of spending something in the region of £250 - £300 a month. Any suggestions in that price bracket? I will be doing about 10,000 per annum. Oh maybe worth mentioning that i'm 6ft 4 and weight 15 stone. A small car will make me look stupid. I was thinking that a VW Scirocco looks...

    What car to get?

    Hello all, Any advice would be appreciated, I am 30 and just learned to drive in January this year. I am currently driving a 16 plate merc c220 that I was given through my work scheme. The only thing is that I'm not that into cars and after tax am currently paying about £550 a month for the...

    The last game you completed, and rating.

    I just completed Prey. I had no idea what the game was like, hadn't done any research and picked it up on a whim. Got to say that it is brilliant, 10/10. My game of the year. It was pretty much the system shock successor that I have wanted all these years. Only downside in my opinion is that it...

    Pensions For Dummies

    Interestingly, the latest actuarial longevity tables show that ages seem to be plateauing. A means tested state pension would be deeply unfair considering how much harder workers contribute in national insurance.

    Titanfall 2

    I have been using the flat line for a while now and on an impulse tried using the CAR. My goodness its so much better. I appreciate that in theory the SMG is short range only but even at medium to long it seems to dominate! Anyway, great game
