Ian Watkins - former lead singer of the Lost Prophets - 58.

Some public spirited inmate at HMP Wakefield has saved the UK taxpayer the ongoing burden of his upkeep.  :y
If you were in monster mansion serving life, why wouldn't you?

Indeed, it's usually UK sellers that are the problem....

With half of British workers standing around scratching their balls for most of the day I'm always surprised to hear we are the world's 5th largest economy. ::)
There are plenty of hard working people out there, they are just not newsworthy.
I read about graduates who can't get a job for love nor money, no matter how many they apply for. My lad started his first job four weeks ago, after his very first interview. His partner starts next month, after the same single interview.
Mind you, they are both civil servants. I'm surrounded by them  :(

No mention of mileage on that estate. And asking prices are not selling prices  :-X

Another Omega bites the dust.  Surely each one converted to Beanz tinz makes the remaining ones more valuable....    ...cue STEMO for his obvious comment ;D
What obvious comment? The one about the price increasing from £2 to £2.50?
I wouldn't lower myself.   ;D

Yeah, as I said, they ar mongrels.  Have been since they disbanded their design team in the 80s....

The Govt. demanded recently that Apple give them a back door into icloud (possibly connected to the Britcard thing ?) Apple refused and say they will never comply.
Connected to terrorists and criminals, initially. But these things have a habit of expanding and morphing into something much bigger.

It's not really that odd. If electrical components start getting damp and shorting/open circuiting, things are going to start misbehaving. We had an 18 month old Astra K with a design fault. The rear screen washer tubing ran down the passenger side A pillar, and had a joint in it which used to work loose. In the passenger side kick panel was a body control module, which got wet. It was Christmas time 🎉 Lights flashing all over the dash and a long list of faults on the info screen.

 ;D Very Dave Allen-esque, although I doubt even he would have got away with that one.

I don't really understand why they're doing this. Couldn't they just read the chip that was implanted during Covid?

£900, Bloody hell. :o

 ;D 
The price of quality.  ;D  Although I still think they wobble more than I'm comfortable with.  :)
I think they're only stable up to 80mph  :)

Here’s a link to what the digital future could mean for people.   It’s quite long but just a few minutes will give you an idea of how our life will be controlled.   >:(

I should also add, make sure the wheels where the pickups are, are super clean and shiny, also consider adding a bit of weight over the pickup wheel sets to improve contact (a bit of roofing lead, freely available if you look around, works well)
There must be a lot of model railway enthusiasts in Liverpool  :)
