This is just the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument, but with dogs. Of course if every dog owner was perfect then we wouldn't have problems with dogs, but you will never get everyone to be perfect, it&

There has never been a fluctuation in my lifetime that has pushed house prices lower than the cost to rent (that I've noticed anyway)[0]. The prices certainly do go up and down, but we're operating from the basis of an island with

I honestly see this as a relatively simple calculation. You can calculate the rent you could have to pay over the course of a tenancy. You can calculate the cost of your bought house/apartment over the same period (the estimated value

I am using an Apple wireless keyboard (~2014? model, before they changed to thin keys) and I love it. I've used a load of keyboards in my time including some very good mechanical ones, and it's my favourite. "Shit" is in

TBH if it was me I think I'd prefer it if not every single mention of me in the future brought up what is ultimately a rather personal and unpleasant thing. Yes, it was an appalling thing to have been done to him, but if I were success

The last time I saw a £50 note was in about 1997. I pay with cash a lot. I think it's fair to say they don't get used all that much.

Does anyone really believe that Apple only made £33.7m profit? I don't, it's far more likely that they shunt money to other companies in tax light areas like most large companies have been doing for the last many many years.

I'll buy a new Macbook Pro the day Apple return Magsafe, a keyboard that I can distinguish between individual keys with my fingers, doesn't break, and isn't loud, and a no-touchbar option. Until then my 2014 MBP will have to
