    Gaming

    Helldivers 2 is quite a lot of fun. Really hard but that might because I can barely see enemies as I've had to turn down the graphics down waaay low just to get it to run on my PC.
  2. Recession has been the plan by BofE for ages. Just taking inspiration from the US where they tried to put fear of job security back into workers, just at the moment where vacancies hit a peak.
  3. Ofgem seem to suggest 2500kwh a year for a family of 3 but I can't figure out if that's if you've also got gas heating.
  4. Never seemed to settle into a teaching job, only ever spent a year or so at each of his many schools. Wonder why that was.
  5. Wait, this is wrong. Last month it was £156 a month. I think the heat pump is on too often to warm the rads but I don't have much context to compare to a normal boiler.
  6. £89 a month, no solar. Seems high to me. It's noticeably a more even heat even with rads, fine for me, wife says it's cold.
  7. Doesn't even make sense as an insult unless he's making some weird homophobic comment. Jones must be one of the most resilient people out there, the s*** he gets thrown at him every day is unreal and people have even tried to kill him.
  8. Really interesting, thanks for this. The current house we're renting (new build within the last 2 years) has a heat pump and radiators and we've noticed it always seems to be on. The house we're hopefully buying is the same, though older. Would it be advisable to switch to UFH? And at risk of asking a silly question, can you do UFH and have carpets over the top?
  9. I agree with you on all points, and I know what pipnasty would say to this, but all of what you've said "we" need to do are policy decisions that I can't affect day to day and my son still needs to get to nursery, I need to get to work and to check in on my parents. The only bus that runs from my village goes twice a day with 8hrs in between times. When I was in Birmingham, before I had my son, I'd get the bus from my house to work (the other side of the city). Cost me £5 per day and took twice as long. Wasn't sustainable. I voted for the mayor who said he'd bring buses back into city control (a la Burnham) and the MP who promised a revolution in Birmingham connectivity, who was in the party of a chap who was all about nationalising and the city/country stick two fingers up at them all.
  10. I get that to a degree but there's absolutely no way in my lifetime that we're getting to an ideal system of automated cars being rented by the journey and an end of car ownership. So until then if I swap my two petrol cars for one electric car that I can charge from solar panels for effectively free, isn't that an environmental and economic win?
  11. We're buying a house with a heat pump and 2 banks of solar panels. Installed before 2019 as well so we get the feed-in tariffs. Hoping to get an electric car and battery in early doors so we can essentially heat, power and charge for free.
  12. There's been some shouts on here but that's a contender for maddest
  13. Is it me or is Goldsbridge a much better pundit that 99% of the rest out there?
  14. Of a 60yr old book? Get reading!!
