I alwyas wanted the mk2. Being based in London where I need to get a residents permit for onstreet parking, massive insurance I just couldn't get it because the annual ownership cost would have been too high. I did have a drive on one, and it's such an enjoable car. I regret not buying one in...

Best of luck. I would personally leave a streaming box be a streaming box and let a gaming PC be a gaming PC. It's very hard to keep a mini PC cool, you're quite restricted in the hardware, and the niche sizing makes everything so expensive. An ITX case costs more than a ATX case for example.

Galaxy s8, I may upgrade to a second hand galaxy s9 when it gets cheap enough. I never spent much money on phones. The last phone I got brand new was a iPhone 3s on contract when contracts made sense and phones werent super expensive. Nowadays these phones are stupid money. Fetching close to...

Yeah, the internet rate is awful. If you can get a 0% purchase credit card I would do it through that. A lot of credit cards are 0% purchase offer for up to 28 months.

Even with a watermark, how do you protect it from being stolen for use by a third party? Do you put watermark all over the image like the way stock images websites do? That ruins it for legitimate viewers. If you watermarket a corner, the image can be stolen by cropping out the watermark.

I fitted hive for my elderly mother, she has mobility issues and the thermostat fitted by the council in her house has such tiny buttons for controls that she doesn't know how to use it. Now I get phone calls during various time of the day asking me to turn the hot water/heating for her...

It would stop the laziest picture stealer, it wont stop the most determined thief. Someone with access to a 4K display can get a full view of your image and do a screenshot. It would be possible to take screenshots of sections of it on smaller screen and patch it into one file on an image...

Trusty 2002 vw golf. I drive it because is tend to driver 10K miles a year for work. It's so cheap it doesn't hurt the wallet to do the miles. I would hate to have to do it in my pride and joy.

Sods law says the day you need footage you would have forgotton to charge/hit record on it. I don't have a dashcam myself, if I was to get one I'd get a purpose built on, tube shape that fits neatly behind the wing mirror. Which is wired into the car so the car sends a charge with the ignition...

I have has issues upgrading on the October release. The laptop would just stop at 3% and not budge. It's a slow i3 cpu laptop, so I thought it might be taking ages. I can see HD activity, but 24 hours after it was still at 3% so I decided to abort the upgrade. Maybe I'll do a clean install on...

You need to switch every 12 months. Trust me, if you switch enough and get cashback deals from quidco or topcashback. You'll make money. ISPs give massive cashbacks upo to £150, typically £90 each time. I have been on the ISP carosel loads of times - moving my services between plusnet, BT, EE...

Yes, I agree with you on the following point; "A levels don't define you, they are taken at the point in your life when you are most distracted from study by life. " I walked through my GCSEs with AAABBBBCC, from an inner city London secondary school with stabbings and gang crime. Might not...
