I did read about it but hasn't happened yet.

Not sure how to access developer and dpi settings. I don't mind the rattle really once I knew what it was about, at first I thought I had a faulty phone. :o

Using my new Xiaomi 14 Ultra... It's OK but the default text size on most apps is too small for my eyes compared to the POCO F3 which I've just come from and the Mi8 Lite before that. Increasing the font size is fine but some apps then have difficulty adjusting and end up hiding the bottom half...

Where do you find a Barclays branch to pay the cash in? They have all closed round here.

Why are a lot of these management companies down as dormant companies on Companies House? I know someone who lives on a newish estate that has a management company 'Xxxx Ltd' but it shows as dormant and has been ever since the estate was built 18 years ago. The letters the residents get that...

I was talking to a regular in my local clurb not long ago and he got on about Amazon and he was talking about the Channel 4 documentary made by some guy called Oobah. I had never heard of it but later on when I got home after sinking a few pints I put YouTube up on my TV and the first...

They might have camera up too? Who knows. Call me a bit tin foil hatish but I've noticed a lot of press interest and YouTube lawyers going on about folk being fined for having ring door bells and cameras up. I take it is because the establishment are getting worried about the little man having...

My cameras are just on normal Cat 5e cable AFAIR into the PoE switches. Didn't know special PoE cable was a thing.

I think you can run the cameras directly to the Reolink NVR with Cat 6 cable, but I haven't tried it as all my Reolink cameras go into PoE switches on my network and my Reolink NVR is plugged into my router independently from the cameras.

Yeah I've been thinking about it although not all Persimmon estates are bad. My grandparents used to live in a Persimmon house and a cousin bought one new about 7 year ago. No problems.

If you pop it the rest of the Annuity gets paid to your estate as a lump sum. So if you pop it a week after winning your estate gets the £3.6mil lump.

I used a broker who found me a lender who was happy to lend based on my SFL Annuity income while also technically being unemployed :D The whole application process was pretty straight forward too and I had the offer within a week. I thought there might have been lots of extra checks and stuff...

A house. Well I put a reservation fee down but my mortgage offer has been accepted so ready to go once built. :)

Tories are sleazy.

Yep I vaguely remember the sales guy saying something about a £250/£400 fee if you want to build an extension or something too even though it's Freehold land.

I've been looking at a plot on a new build Persimmon estate which is currently being built and I've been told there is a £95.68 per year maintenance charge for the upkeep of the green spaces including a weekly litter pick. The property itself is Freehold. I wasn't told if it increases every year...

Xiaomi 14 Ultra + Free Pad 6 and Photography Kit. Actually arrived Sat 16th but I've only just got round to opening them. :o

Crashed it. :( While mooching around the new build estate that I've reserved a house on I accidentally reversed my SVR into something that was laying around (building site stuff) which my parking sensors didn't warn me of. I was looking but I was looking at some huge curb which I was trying to...

I'd get onto the cc company and request a charge back then get onto trading standards too.

I paid £195 last July for building & contents which included home emergency assistance and legal cover. I've just had my stinky poo poo blocked sewer flushed again under the home assistance cover so that element has paid for itself. :)
