    [Football] Cash out?

    I'm rather late responding to this as only just seen this bumped thread, but isn't there an issue with what you suggest because the bloke would need the £3,185 in his account now to cover the lay bet? So it might be a good suggestion for someone who has deep pockets, it probably wouldn't work in...

    Apple iphone 5s 1970 bug

    I suggest you withhold the iPhone and give him a late 90's brick phone as punishment. It'd be pretty hard for him to mess that up unless he falls for the microwave or waterproof hoaxes too!

    Adam Johnson pleads guilty

    I think we should let a jury decide that though! :-)

    Cyclist Vs Car (again!)

    My argument would be that it's reasonable to expect that the owner of the vehicle or the person hiring it was driving it, or that if they weren't they could provide details of the person who was. If they weren't driving they would state who was or provide evidence that they weren't, and by not...

    Advice Needed (Car Accident)

    Given that you said he was over the limit perhaps this is the reason he said he wasn't insured? Failing to have insurance and scarpering possibly seems like a slightly lesser offence than drink driving? I'd have thought that the fact you have his plate details and a photo means that your...

    Who do you think arranged the player's mortgage? :)

    How did this happen?

    I'm sure we could take a gamble at £1 a week! ;-)

    [Food] Frozen stuff that is as good (or better?) than fresh

    Was going to post that, but thinking about it nothing beats a fresh buttery corn on the cob. But the reality is it's pretty messy so most of the time we'll got for the convenience of frozen.

    Ask NSC: Which latte machine should I buy?

    I think the Siemens is a bit out of budget, I think ideally no more than £250. The Gaggia is another example of the troubles you come across when trying to decide, very similar models (or names at least) or updated versions which have wildly differing reviews. There are few old Gaggia's on...

    Ask NSC: Which latte machine should I buy?

    I used to visit Waitrose on an almost daily basis, but having moved my free coffee is a rare treat these days :-(

    Ask NSC: Which latte machine should I buy?

    Following on from recent threads about coffee shops, I've decided I'm splashing way too much money in said shops so should probably invest in my own machine. It's a bit of a minefield and I've found myself considering machines from £99 to £499+ and have read so many (often conflicting) reviews...

    mortgage advice

    I think you're making it sound much harder than it actually is in many cases. If you have good credit and have a straight forward purchase I don't think brokers really offer much (any) benefit. I bought a house this year. I used the internet for it all. I spent 30 minutes using a couple of...

    Off on my first cruise next month. Anyone else been on one?

    I went on a similar cruise to the OP, Southampton to Zeebrugge, last month but on the Oceania with P&O. It seemed a bit like a cross between staying in a posh hotel (the food in the restaurant) and Butlins (the entertainment team and buffet food). With it being a short cruise (well under 48...

    Tyson Fury on R2 today.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35031110 In an interview he said: "There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home: one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other one's paedophilia. In the aftermath of his win in...

    Tyson Fury

    But he was born in Wythenshawe, not Styal.

    Robotix...and perhaps other obsolete toys that would be great today

    I think I used to spend more time reading the Argos catalogue than I spent playing with my toys.

    A Brighton wonderkid. When?

    I watched almost 3 minutes and I think there's only been one goal. Might look fancy, but no end product. Reminds me of a young Christiano Ronaldo in many ways.

    What have you seen developed, delivered and redundant in your lifetime ?

    Fax machines would be a worthy of a new thread; what technologies should be completely redundant, but are refusing to die?

    Easy Christmas gifts for wine lovers...

    Website doesn't seem to work very well on my iPhone. When I attempt to scroll down it seems to fresh the page and I'm taken back to the top of the page.
