Off Topic The Review Thread

I always use the same with Sky when my contract is up. First they always say no way to a better deal, even though I say I’m gonna leave…..when I start to make good with my threat and start to put out the feelers to actually leave then suddenly I get discounts galore.

 

I'm on the hunt for new gas/electric contract - the prices quoted everywhere at the moment are ****ing astronomical though - WTF! Some are over £4K a year

 

I’m afraid you don’t have a hope. My wife is coming to the end of a contract with Ovo, working on some internal project they have moving the SSE customers they ‘bought’ a couple of years ago onto Ovo systems. She tells me that there will be no new deals to entice customers to switch, because they can’t afford them - the deals you see are actually higher than the variable rate. No joy switching, our fixed rate contract is up soon and she reckons (she’s the guru on domestic expenses) it’s best to go into the variable rate until wholesale gas prices get back down, otherwise you are locked into a very high rate.

Plus good luck getting through. 50% of call to Ovo are abandoned.

Just checked my facts with the in house expert. Standard variable tariff will be eye watering but it’s the best to go for in current circumstances. It will be ‘fixed’ for 6 months in April, then adjusted again in September, total rise of 50% anticipated. All longer term deals will be on even higher rates because the domestic suppliers have no idea how much wholesale gas will sell for. So much for competition driving prices down.

Fuel poverty is a real and serious thing.

 

I think its the skill of the repairer's that you should be looking at.

 

At least now Brexit is done we can rely on our fab government to remove the 5% VAT that the wicked EU forced on us

 

Watching Westworld (the film) for the first time in a very long time. Almost unbelievable to think that this is almost 50 years old. Brilliant.

 

Fabulous film, Michael Chrichton wrote the screenplay and directed . Put him firmly on the map, I'm sure Arnie modelled himself in The Terminator on Bryner's performance !

 

Started watching “All of us are Dead” on Netflix.
If you liked Train to Basan and #Alive then this will be right up your street.
Zombies, gore, zombies, blood, zombies, Koreans, zombies, death……oh and it’s got zombies

 

I was thinking of starting that last night as just finished Season 3 of Narcos Mexico. Something else to add to the list!

 

Do you blokes ever sleep?

 

Not a lot. I used to be able to sleep for hours on end but now I’m lucky to get 6 hours a night

 

Watch the repair shop

 

Is that another name for Pornhub

 

Bad night last night - major storm battering the **** out the house and to top it off, my upstairs bathroom decided to "explode" - burst pipe under the sink, water pissing all over the place, through ceilings and everything. All fixed now, but was not in the mood for sleeping.

 

Just saw the video mate…..looks ****ing awful.

 

The Brits. The BAFTAs. The Golden Globes. The Oscars.

Does anybody seriously give a ****?

Meh.

 

Just found the Brits on uktv
Awful lot of miming going on for the showcase of British music
And not wanting to sound like my dad
Who the **** are these people talking **** between awards

 

State of Ian wright

 

Say what you like about Wayne Rooney and the bad decisions he’s made over the course of his life, but I’m watching the Amazon documentary on him and at least he’s been smart enough to choose a wife with an on/off button.

 

James Taylor in concert from 1971 on BBC2.

I just love this man's voice. One of a few voices that can make my soul soar, along with Van Morrison, Bryan Ferry, Tim Booth, Morrissey and Michael Stipe.
