    Same for me... oh what I could have had with a crystal ball for SMT. In other news - my YU. holding is still having a great time

    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    Interested to know if mine will go up. I used anytime upgrade to get the S24U Was on a £94/mo unlimited everything S23U 24 month, which I had a 20% perk discount (got that a few years ago (2 or 3 contracts ago?), and keep managing to persuade the upgrade guy to transfer it to my new contract!)...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    Looks like it was too hot to increase the brightness - bit weird as it didn't feel hot to the touch. But now seems ok.

    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    Just got my S24 Ultra... have the screen issues been fixed? My S23U screen seems way way brighter than the S24? S24 on the right. Brightness slider doesn't seem to do anything past 50%

    Hayfever - Thread

    I've had a couple of bouts of it in the last week or so - so sounds like it coincides with the tree pollen

    Cities Skylines 2 is Official!

    Fallen out of love with this now.... I was eagerly watching the Paradox forums for updates, but kind of lost interest without modding

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Macan S - was £1300 last year. Been playing around with CTM a bit - just goes to show how much its not based around you as the driver. Removed my £11k claim from 2019 and my 3 points from '22 and it made literallly zero difference to the quoted cost. Changed my address from London (kept in a...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Just had the email from Admiral this morning saying they won't renew my insurance for next year (renews on the 20th) - been with them for 10 years :confused: Cheapest CTM quote is about £3k and thats not from a particularly reputable insurer. Direct Line won't give me a quote. This is...

    Porsche Macan...

    I bought a new Macan S (the 2.9l V6) last year (MY23) - done 15k miles on it. I absolutely love it. Its a bit small for rear passengers with my driving position, but still acceptable (recently did a London -> York return trip with 5 people and whilst a little cramped, there were no...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S23 Family Thread ****

    Phone has completely stopped charging via the port (exactly the same as with my S23 Ultra). Got an appt booked at the Samsung store this afternoon for them to take a look - but don't really want to be without a phone. Annoying as for my S23 they sent a van to work and fixed it in an hour...

    Hmrc - ebay/airbnb/vinted etc new rules - 1st Jan 2024

    Quite telling at how badly the UK tax system is communicated. To be clear - nothing has changed in terms of thresholds etc. with these new rules coming into affect. AFAIK it is just the communication channels/data reported to HMRC by companies that has changed. If you've ever turned over more...

    Open Banking - Dashboard for accounts

    Hello, Having taken advantage of various different ISA offers etc. its getting a little frustrating having to open multiple apps to check balances etc. Has anyone found a good product that can display balances of all accounts in one place/app etc.? In my limited knowledge, I was under the...

    Hmrc - ebay/airbnb/vinted etc new rules - 1st Jan 2024

    You clearly have no idea how HMRC operates - unless you are unlucky and get randomly spot checked by someone who got out the wrong side of bed that morning - HMRC do not have the resources, and cannot justify the cost and time, to go after the small fish who should be paying a few tens or...

    Cities Skylines 2 is Official!

    I'm enjoying it a lot. The only thing I'm getting hung up with at the moment is making interchanges from Highway to City not clogging up. I'm terrible at building my own, and the in built ones aren't very exhaustive. Performance wise, I'm on a Rog X16 (13900h, 64gb, 4070) and getting around...

    Cities Skylines 2 is Official!

    The issues at the start of the game, never affected me too badly, they were there but it was playable - however from all areas the game is vastly, vastly improved than when it was released. I would not listen to a lot of the reviews on Steam now, as the game feels much much better now...
