Classic forum advice - don't do what you want to do, do what I do!

6x4 is definitely in the crossover where floorstanders and standmounts could be the best bet. I think I'd be wanting to know that the electronics I got worked with the speakers I choose, so I would be going to a good dealer outlining the problems. Al is right that in that the electronics...

Person I am thinking of gets ESA as well and is definitely getting NI credit - maybe it's the ESA that does it. I've seen her paperwork showing that PIP was awarded, but that it would be assessed after a fixed period - I think it might have been four years.

I also understand at the last review that PIP claimants had to undergo the benefit was granted for a fixed period of time, after which I am guessing they will become 'new' claimants and face an even tougher assessment.

I get the impression that the purpose of reviews is to reduce the spend, not assess people's needs. If it's older people you are talking about though, my understanding is that your NI history is maintained by being granted PIP, so if they are nearing state pension age at least there should be...

Not as sick as you'd feel if you'd bought the pie in question!

They agreed to refund the 365 subscription as I've had to sign up for it anyway, but it staggers me how long companies can take to get funds back to you. They will have taken it with startling haste, and the same should apply in reverse.

Halloween on Halloween night (4k). Didn't care for it much when I was young, but it's definitely grown on me. And Pan's Labyrinth on 4k last night. A permanent fixture in my not-quite-set-in-stone top ten films list.

That says it all, doesn't it? I doubt gold has much flavour.

There was a '50 best restaurants in the world' list launched in June (apparently). The most expensive set menu is a Danish one called Alchemist, which weighs in at £1,900. There must be some individuals who can feed themselves perfectly adequately for a year on that...

I think it's intended as a joke. If you feel someone is breaching forum rules, please use the report function rather than trying to deal with it yourself.

Jumping in without knowing the facts again, eh? The lights are at a busy three-lane roundabout with multiple junctions and no pedestrian crossings - it's like the sort of thing you find at the end of a motorway slip road. The road is (sort of) safer, and intended to be used for crossing -...

There's a busy dual carriageway near where I live that we have to cross to do our usual non-winter walk with the dogs. It's a pain to cross, sometimes you can wait 3-5 minutes. There was a gap before a Pallex lorry, and the lights a couple of hundred metres on were red, so I ran across. Was...

Having one speaker much closer to the setup than is ideal, to the point that very loud volume would occasionally cause CDs to skip before I addressed it, I'll defend vibration absorption to the death!

The Beeb has a great many flaws, but trying to stop people illegally accessing its content seems fair enough to me (Amazon/Apple/Disney etc do the same, I strongly suspect.) - if that comes down to ambiguous wording I don't think that's the greatest of sins.
