    [Football] Eddie Howe interview anyone able to do the abridge notes?

    It can be summarised as: “Many people think that I’m a smug cock. I’ve come to realise that they’re only partially correct. I’m a relegated smug cock”.

    [Misc] Wild variation in building quotes

    You miss the very next words in that same sentence ...”which would save money in VAT”. If you take the sentence as a whole he’s clearly being offered the chance to be a tax dodger, which, if he accepted, he would be. Along with millions of other people. There’s no value judgement here. The man...

    [TV] Netflix : The Queens Gambit

    No - it’s based on a novel. There are some vague similarities between the protagonist and Judit Polgar, and some of the male players have some vague similarities with real players, most especially Fischer. The historical players they refer to are however real: Capablanca, Alekhine etc...

    Yes, it makes you a tax dodger and is illegal. Yes, it’s pretty commonly done. Yes, you’ll save 20% on everything done that way. Your call.

    [Politics] 2020 US election - Joe Biden vs Donald Trump

    A ‘prominent ally’ of Trump urges him to stop fighting his loss: “...we cannot continue to act as if something happened here that didn’t happen”. Is this the start of previously loyal Trumpists turning on him? If there’s a deluge of senior Republicans coming out against Trump it’s game over...

    [Help] Weird CH boiler behaviour - any thoughts pls?

    Maybe. I’m going to continue playing today - resetting it, turning it off and on again (again), and, err... that’s about it tbh. If a miracle doesn’t happen, I’ll be on the blower in the morning.

    [Help] Weird CH boiler behaviour - any thoughts pls?

    Ta - I’ll tell the missus to do that. I can hear the relay kick in to turn the boiler on when i turn the thermostat past 18c - and the boiler does indeed fire, for 10 mins. Weird, huh?

    [Help] Weird CH boiler behaviour - any thoughts pls?

    I have a combi boiler with TRVs on the rads, and a room thermostat. The boiler temperature is set to 70c for the rads and is currently showing 56c. The thermostat is set to 20c, and is showing current temperature as 18c. You’d expect the boiler to be on, right? Nuh uh. If I turn the...
