I’m aware there isn’t such a department, it was meant sarcastically. ;)

They’ve done books before and you rarely see much, if any, of the content, they concentrate on the book guy repairing the covers, boards and binding. How was any viewer supposed to read these “inappropriate” jokes anyway, unless they zoomed right in on the pages? Complete overkill, probably...

She’s pretty good. Still nothing like I imagined Scarpetta from the book, but much better than Nicole Kidman plays her.

Probably good that you haven’t read the books to be fair, as IMO Nicole Kidman is nothing like the book character. We’ve watched a few episodes and thought it was…. hmmm, okay. Jamie Lee Curtis steals every scene she’s in.

Must admit I’d be quite happy with £275. Got nothing this month.

We live in the sticks. Shopping at a bricks and mortar business can involve driving anything between 20 and 40 minutes and then possibly paying for parking when we get there. Whereas Amazon deliver to our doorstep, usually the next day. They’ll also let you send things back for free, with...

Fair enough then. :)

Are they allowed to open the garage though? Genuine question. It’d be entering private property… is that legal? Plus it would add time to their delivery round.

The problem for plug in hybrids is they’re going to get clobbered with pay per mile surcharges soon. Luckily we’ve got a self charging hybrid, which is still exempt.

We love Greece and have been to various islands and the mainland lots of times. The prices have shot up in recent years… Greece used to a be a cheap holiday but not any more. Tried Madeira @Pixbarmy? It’s a lovely island with very low crime. The only downside really is there’s not many...

Have a look at the Uswitch site, they’ll give you various options for your area. BTW if you haven’t already sorted out your sim deal, I switched to Smarty a few months ago and have found them excellent, they were also a third of the price of the 02 contract I had before. Smarty use the Three...

My brother in law lives in the US, Home Owner Associations (HOA’s) for estates are really common over there too. My BiL’s one are very strict… residents on his estate can only paint the outside of the houses in a certain range of colours, they get snotty letters if they don't keep the outside...

Unfortunately even if someone can afford a nice house it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll look after it. We’re in a cul de sac of 4 identical properties. The neighbour directly opposite was a lovely guy who really took care of the place, but he died about 4 years ago. It was subsequently bought...

I think buyers are supposed to disclose if they’re buying a property to rent out nowadays? My ex wife got caught out with that a couple of years ago… she was selling our old marital home and it was only at exchange of contracts that it came to light that the buyer was a landlord. Apparently the...

I think Sky have committed a major faux pas with our account. They’ve somehow offered us a new deal which has managed to knock £50 a month off what we were paying previously for broadband and tv. I’m sure it’s a cock up, so I queried it with billing but the agent said it’s correct… she did seem...
