    Linus Tech tips

    I use to subscribe to him many years back. But realised he added no value to me. His content is very weak just like that idiot Jay. Just thought I’d watch a couple of his videos. He is like a caricature of himself now and hugely irritating to listen to over emphasise and stress words like a...

    Massage Gun

    We have a theragun. I put my lower back out badly about 7 years ago. It’s never got back to what it was but the gun has helped massively. It really gets deep into the muscles and gets the blood moving to help repair. I wouldn’t be without one tbh now. Not a miracle worker, but if you have...

    XBOX Gamepass Ultimate conversion is back for £1

    Being a lazy. So my GPU expired last month. Sounds like the trick of using a VPN to activate a code in turkey is no longer available? Lad is asking as he wanted to play rdr2 online and can’t. Feel like we didn’t get much decent stuff even for what we paid. I’m anti Sony for a very bad...

    What is your iPhone battery health (and how old)?

    14 pro max. Had it since feb 2023. 92% Dropping faster than I expected for sure. I’ll likely use if for another year or two and then replace the battery if nothing else is wrong with it.

    Would you mind telling me what those lights are up the corners walls? My lad wants some led lights in the games room.

    Tv for the den

    Setting up the downstair study for a spare media entertainment room. Mostly used by my 12 year old. Room is only big enough for a 43. What are people’s thoughts on TCL and Hisense? Seem cheap. Get good comments. Or should I just by an LG C3 42. That way I can plug in the computer that’s in...

    Fleecehold

    Setup your own management company and run it yourself. I think that is actually more than possible. If your block has people with brains, you’re golden. Hard work. Perhaps not obvious. But possible.

    Fleecehold

    It is. But unfortunately many people go and buy a house and expect to own it. The complexity of it all is hidden to many, and that’s the problem. Solictlrs sign it off, mortgage companies stump up the money… makes people feel all is good when it isn’t for many. Not all are bad. But many are.

    Fleecehold

    We live in a leasehold estate. Bought the freehold a few years back after living here for 10 + years At the time the ground rent doubling was in the papers. I had a solicitor look at mine and they said it didn’t double, but the wording was really really poor and they had to read it a few...

    Pension fund performance - do you monitor yours, how is it doing, do you actively change it?

    Haha. It’s all about balance. But I don’t think many have found it. They’ll live til 90, be unable to work, and have very little to spend for 20+ years But yeah I’m hoping for a chunk of inheritance too, but planning for zero.

    Pension fund performance - do you monitor yours, how is it doing, do you actively change it?

    Currently anything that is euro excl uk and us equities. 15-20 % growth per year on average over the last 5 years. I wouldn’t have a penny in the UK, pretty much ever. If, and that’s a big if, it carries on for 5 more years like that ill be retiring in 10 years at 54. I put a large amount in...

    0% raise 23% bonus. As expected. All into pension for me, so nothing more in my pocket to spend end of the month.

    What to do with 25k

    Filter it straight into your pension. Spend it in retirement. Watch it grow!

    Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

    Probably 0% raise this year. But might get a bonus of 15-25% region. Anything I get will be straight to the pension and I’ll see it when I’m 60. Finance sector.

    Blocked drain advice.

    B&q sell it. They checked i was 25. I guess only people under 25 do horrific things with it.

    Blocked drain advice.

    I’ll keep trying. At the moment I’m all in on fixing this myself. I’ll get dyno in if it extends to the big vertical pipe outside….but pretty sure it doesn’t. If it was I might be having worse and smeller problems. lol there is a toilet into that one!

    Blocked drain advice.

    Thanks all. I’m letting it drain over night after another rodding. Dishes cleaned down in the utility room and boiler off to reduced condensate flow. I’ve put my inspection camera down I use on my 5 series to deal with checking those drains lol… and pretty sure I saw a fatberg in the pipes in...

    Blocked drain advice.

    I’ll push the rod down again. But think it’s either time to pull the pipes out, inspect and re do them, or get an expert out.
