    Spec me 2 TVs (55" and 77")

    Thanks for the useful info, that's good to know. When it comes to TVs I genuinely have no idea! How does the LG A1 OLED fair? I can pick one of these up new for £1.4k *edit, sorry that price seems to be for a refurbished model.

    Career change / share your success stories

    Just wanted to update: Things are starting to get worse for sure, I think my mental health is taking a hit from this job now. But I have a catch 22 situation. I have a 6 month old child now.

    I feel like I sell myself, but maybe I'm not. Ideally my goal is to earn as much as possible for the amount of time I work. But lately I've also been getting rather depressed with the job I do, and the thought of doing this job or any other job up this ladder til I'm 67. Im genuinely open...

    Road Tripping in the USA!

    Drop a night in LA at the start and add in a night at Mammoth Lakes in between Vegas and San Fran. I'd personally also drop a night off at San Fran and have another night along the PCH, maybe somewhere like Pismo. I wasn't a fan of San Fran, the chilling out at the end of the holiday along the...

    How many Focus ST owners on here

    Considering the Mk3 ST estate, and was wondering what owners real word MPG figures are like. Currently looking at the Mk3 Octavia VRS, which should get ~35 and 40+ on a run. But these are like hens teeth to find. I had the mk2.5 ST 5 years ago, and could get ~30 in that on the regular.
