The rescheduled parole hearing for Colin Pitchfork is now Friday. BBC News - Date set to consider release of child killer Colin Pitchfork - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3v8ejpp08o After his previous parole in 2021 he was recalled for breaking it, by approaching a young woman. I'm not in anyway convinced this parole should be approved.

At this point in time, if the leading option is Farage, I'm not sure that I wouldn't prefer Ant and Dec...

If you go onto the Octopus website it has a section with all the chargers and cars, pick from the drop downs and it will advise if compatible. The charger is possibly easiest as then it won't matter if you change the car to a non compatible one in a few years. Our charger came with the car so unfortunately we couldn't. And yes, as Greg said, the whole house can be 7p. We didn't miss that element when we lost the Octopus app as we've a battery and everything is 7p all day... well, soon to be 8p

Octopus Intelligent Go is good. It's 7p 23:30 to 05:30 as well as the other 7p slots that may be offered that Greg mentioned. The app takes care of everything. You need either a compatible charger or car. Unfortunately, our charger isn't, the car was until 18 months ago but then it came off the list. Sadly, Octopus have now noticed this and are moving us onto Octopus Go, from next week. It's now going to be 8p from 00:30 to 05:30, which is only going to increase costs by £40 a year.

Couriers are getting worse. Yesterday Yodel didn't come anywhere near my house but updated the tracking to say they'd tried to deliver and left a card. Today they left it in my safe place of front porch. I don't have a porch, so that's not my nominated safe place. It was actually dumped in a flower bed. The Inpost parcel being returned to a seller, which I dropped off on 15th Oct has been delivered to a parcel box in Bradford. Unfortunately, the seller lives in Dorset. And, a parcel I sent with Evri has gone from out for delivery, on Wednesday, to requiring a specialist due to its size. It's a pair of trainers! Twats, the lot of them.

It is though. I know this from tasting it, no advertising execs were involved

I'm with you. Skip or fast forward during any TV programmes, the only live tv I watch is sport and the adverts are used as bathroom breaks or getting drinks.

The closure was announced Jan 2024, so, sometime shortly after.

I've been looking into VPN for an upcoming trip. I've seen Nord, Surfshark and LetsVPN recommended. Do check that the one you go for does work in the country you're visiting. Nord no longer works in our destination.

I'm 3 weeks away for the same. We don't go to Guangzhou, we're Shanghai, Xian and Beijing. If you use FB, I've found this group to be very helpful with recommendations, includingthing to do and see in Guangzhou. It's covered all of the requirements for how to pay for stuff as you can't use normal cards, how to get Internet connections without the censorship etc. And saved me £300 because we don't need a full visa I'd been unaware of the new extended TWOV for transit trips. In HK were getting the peak tram, going to a water village and a mini city tour.

6ft 5" He's a unit.

And post match. Must have someone new on the socials..

I'd make the effort to test drive the polestar. Out of the Tesla, MG, Kia and Hyundai I had a test drive in, at an event last year, the Polestar was far superior. It wasn't the 4 but if that's anything like the others, it'll be a great drive.

Thermostat said 18.2c, that's low enough for it to kick in.

I think it's probably going to be kicking in this evening.

I know it's a bit morbid but I Googled it. Anything with clear evidence, be it an accident, natural causes, overdose or suicide is classed as non suspicious. Although an inquest may be required to determine actual cause. I'm assuming then that if it doesn't look like you've been murdered, it's non suspicious.

Typically Mbeumo managed one that was close because I'd posted that

If any one of us, Ipswich or S'ton hadn't been so utterly sh1t last season, it was a real possibility. I don't think the 3 promoted teams will be any where near as bad this season. So, a definite possibility. Mbeumo is making Lloyd Dyer's shots look accurate.

Aren't natural causes or drugs non suspicious as well? It's certainly sad news, 46 is certainly no age.

Although I'm assuming it's not great from a financial point of view, aesthetically it's better than some corrupt made up betting company on the shirt.

Noticed a bit of a chill a couple of mornings and my first thought was how soon this thread would be resurrected. The house temperature hasn't dropped near or below 19c yet so, the heating hasn't kicked in. Did spend part of yesterday looking at adding more loft insulation, another 170mm to add to the 150mm should hopefully be beneficial.

Just under that. I don't know how they justify the prices. The good news is that my wee boy is much, much better

That was the sort of timescale I was expecting. I ordered 3 weeks ago, it says in the order that they'll dispatch by mid October 🙄

I took the plunge and ordered from DH, no one mentioned it take 2 months to dispatch! How long does the shipping take? I assume it's on a slow boat from China and so will also be weeks?

I had this warning today, again some clever and little changes some people may not notice with email addresses. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2025/09/paypal-users-targeted-in-account-profile-scam
