Congratulations to the app builder - only small bit of feedback is on the app landing page, under how much does it cost you call it a 'subscription' rather than a one of purchase. That could put some people off who think they will

To add to this, the low interest rates have added the ability for these joint income purchasers to bid higher to win the property they want. In the UK at least, the move has broadly been in line with the 3x joint salary with mild adjustment

I did exactly this about 10 years ago - weighed myself daily, and took fat and measured my circumferences at various points on my body, and wrote it down by hand each day in a table. That alone was all the encouragement I needed to consider

Estimates are around 500BC max - so nothing much in the picture of known human history, and a little too young for fossils. Still amazing, and a culture it would be fascinating to better understand.

Don't forget that until about the mid 90s most people were only buying with one income. And even into the 2000s that second income was often significantly lower. So that graphs never align that well when you look back and try to say &#

Sounds like a fascinating paper - would like to read that, or at least more of the sources.

Dark Towers was amazing and often quite creepy. My mother was in a few episodes about a boy that gets kidnapped (she played a kidnapper in it). I was about 7 at the time and I remember being really freaked out when they dyed his hair in a p

The are brilliant YouTube documentaries about both. After a car accident a few years ago, I became very interested in stories of being trapped, I think as some way of dealing with my own experience. I'd sit up late at night and watch t

That really is fascinating and well worth a read. The sums of money are amazing, love the network that builds up to produce these.

Lack of competition, 15 years ago you could get 36 pictures developed for £3 through the post and get sent a new film to use. Now there is only one place the develops film in my town and it is £20

Even here in the UK, we don't call medicine 'drugs' - when someone refers to drugs here they nearly only mean illegal drugs. As school kids we had the same thought about 'drug stores' - and I even found it amusing w

I dislike wasps - BUT the good thing if you find a nest, is the knowledge that they will never return to a nest the following year - so the next actually becomes something that will help prevent future wasp infestations. When we bought our

When I was about 10, we had a semi tame magpie for a while, everyone who met it fell in love with it - it was so personalable and interested in humans. During a storm it had fallen out of a nest in our garden and I spotted it when I saw my

Diesel engines in particular, do not like being run under no load - it is far far better to have them switched off rather than running. Boat owners struggle with this when moored, as they can't charge their leisure batteries by just ru

You are very right - I am very lucky to have a shed/office I can hide away in and get some great work done in. I'd say it is a far better and more comfortable space than any office I've worked in. But when I had to work at th
