Couch potatoes / Re: Fauda
Last post by Alex - Today at 07:11:48 PM
Sorry I gave you duff info about series 5 of Fauda.   Fauda means ' chaos' and this series is full of chaos and excitement.   The new series will of course include October 7 so will be emotional.   The confirmed date FOR UK is September 8th. fingers crossed I've got it right this time. 🤞

General Discussion / Re: Jason Arday Found Dead
Last post by muddy - Today at 05:52:34 PM
It's always sad when someone is in such despair they feel they have to end their own life .
Especially when they are young .
The family never get over it , they always think they could have stopped it in some way .
They can't when someone is determined to end it all they will do it becaue they are not in their right mind
I don't know the whole story of Jason Arday 
I know he was autistic .
His  meteoric rise as an academic was difficult to understand .
( he didn't learn to read until he was about 18) 
He was the youngest black professor at Cambridge .

I am surprised that he gave up, anybody that can run six marathons with a broken must have been tough.

Gas / Electric Fixed rate.. I don't know why.. just can't be arsed to change..
Car/ Home Insurance.. I have been with the same company for years.. just can't be arsed to jump here and there.
Spoken to people and insurers recently and found that they are all about the same give or take a few bob..

Quote from: Alex on Today at 01:26:23 PMI'm still with the same electricity company from years ago, Scottish Power formerly MANWEB.  I've tried the 'compare' route and there was very little difference in tariffs at that time, so I stayed put.  I do change insurances, car and AA etc.. as there are always cheaper quotes out there.  When it comes to energy, perhaps I'm just lazy, but at least I know roughly what my monthly payment will be.    :grin: ..
Thanks,  Alex. 
I'm much the same as you, and change my house and car insurance,  but never really know what's the best deal for energy.
I shall have a think  . . .

Quote from: Alex on Today at 01:10:46 PMI tend to go for a fixed rate too. 
Do you mind me asking why, Alex?   
Is there really any advantage do you think?

I think I probably do it out of habit more than anything else.
