Hey... My business and whole financial life went tits up when I was 50. I have now started again, and I'm now 51 - with a big mortgage. I'm overpaying, a lot, so should be mortgage free at 61. Better late than never, but at 50 we're still young! We are where we are, and if you're strong...

My dream is to be mortgage-free. I'm overpaying at the moment in order to get rid of it as fast as possible. To those who have no mortgage, and this is a genuine question, does life change all that much when you clear it off - and if it does, in what ways have you noticed?

Precisely £270,020.32p (my balance is on my Halifax app, staring at me every time I log in...) :annoyed:

Sir Ian McKellen... :lolol:

6th. Not too shabby until you see there were only 7 runners..... :moo:

This, and the previous quote about Bosch being decent and it may only be something simple... Get it looked at by an expert who is a Bosch expert. Pay cheap, pay twice. You've also got the reassurance that you're dealing with the manufacturer, and should anything go tits up relating to this -...

I always try and be reasonable and understanding online, and yes - it bothers me if I genuinely upset someone. You have no idea what people have been through, are going through, what's happened to them in the past, or what rattles them - and everyone is a little bit more brave when they don...

True story... I started an electronics business and didn't actually know how to wire a plug either. Google or YouTube is your friend these days. Back in 2003, when I started it, it took about an hour for the page to load - by which time I'd already wired blue to live.

I can't help here, but I'd like to wish your Dad well and hope it all goes well for the fella. :smile:

When I start to worry myself about who's going, I just sit back and trust Uncle Tony.... He knows what he's doing. I don't.

Good thread.... I've probably 50 artists vying for this, but I've got to think of my sanity if it's only one artist - so.... I need something easy to listen to, upbeat on the whole, foot tapping and simple. So.... Abba !!! Shoot me down in flames like a naughty Messerschmitt.... :drink:

Didn't they play that card with the fog a few seasons ago? ???

As has been said already the only things deemed newsworthy these days are the bad things. So that's what we read, see, and hear about. There are good people out there... That's life, though. It's been the same for thousands of years. We all trust people, then we get let down. The knack is...

Check the output settings on the Virgin Box. If it's trying to output in 4K, HDR, DolbyVision or such like, and the TV can only handle standard 5.1 and 1080p HD then it can play havoc. Also (as mentioned) have a look if some kind of 'Sync' is enabled. Again, if the TV software doesn't support...

Stupid idea, for all the reasons already highlighted.

I think she should abdicate and enjoy the final few years of her life, we should skip Charles who can then concentrate on his crackers and jams, and hand it to William - who can then have a long run at it.

Absolutely spot on. Confuse, Distract, Divide. All cleverly takes your eye off what rat shit this country is going to...

All three town centres have a Starbucks and a Costa? ???

Another one from the Scrabble bag....

Speaking of which, has anyone seen Dougie lately? He's been ever so quiet on here!
