Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.

I keep entering comps to win a Porsche Macan as its about the only car I actually want and would use. Before long I may just as well buy one, considering amount of times I've entered!

Re: WFH, how's that going for everyone now ?

Railway, so we get lots of D&A testing - random and for cause.
Only a few weeks ago an apprenticeship failed his D&A - not good at his age, 10 years out of the industry.

Re: Madeira

Went for 5 days a year or so back with the missus, not on a bike though. Personally I'd avoid Funchal - it's all about he plague infested cruise ships, dead quiet and then 7000 Americans turn up for 8 hours, then dies again. We did a few bits that were fun away from that area but certainly wouldn't ...

Re: Pension stuff, how's it all looking ? HAve you prepared ?

Funnily enough just been talking about this with my missus (an IFA) - we have 2 properties and how the changes may affect us going forward.

Whatever way, pants get pulled down!

Re: Water filters

I was always under the impression that RO water is not for consumption due to the mineral elements being removed? Years ago I worked with RO systems and we were told not to have hands in it too much as would remove the minerals from skin causing dryness and other skin related issues.
