        @VforV, I haven't read all the posts fully regarding the BOB's. I paid into a pension in very first job I had about 30 years ago for over 5 years. I recently got an email from the broker handling it now ( Company long gone).

        Value of the BOB is over 5k which would come in handy but am I right in assuming from what I've read here that this cant be cashed in until retirement?

        I am at the opposite end of Keanes knowledge spectrum.

          You can probably retire it from age 50 so you may be in luck. A BOB has the same rules as the scheme it came from so you'd need to ask the provider to confirm.

            Is there a huge difference between Xbox 360 and Xbox one?

            Mia has the 360 and wants the new one, is there any point like?

              Cheers V , a few years to go before hitting 50 but I will check the rules of the scheme.

                  There's a pretty big gap. The 360 is 10 years old so the One is much more powerful. Microsoft won't be pushing anything new toward the 360.

                      When we were studying we had to remember 35% milk, 70% dark for exams.
                      Ah, you are probably thinking couverture chocolate, used in desserts/chocolate creations. 35% min irc, but with more c.butter.
                      Most good dark you'd be using would be 70%+, be the EU legal min is 35%.


                      I seen a 99% bar the other day, and was wondering if 100% was possible. Apparently is it, but I can't imagine it's very different from 99%, or even particular nice on its own.

                        Just started into Designated Survivor. There's something very old fashioned about it, that I can't quite define. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design...vor_(TV_series)

                          Also started into Black Mirror which I was completely unaware of until it appeared on Netflix. The first episode with the PM fucking a pig was weirdly precient(though not really). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mirror

                            Looking bad for HRC, looks like the polls are swinging in favor of Trump. And I read that the primaries had a bigger turnout of Republicans which sways the numbers even more towards a Republican victory. And those numbers fell away after Trump wrapped up the nomination a month before the convention which also indicates that the number would have been even higher.

                            I think it's time to predict a Trump landslide. God help us all .

                                I'd always assume at least a 5% shy voter for Trump in polls.

                                  Would agree that it'll have a lot more use than a hoverboard long term. It's not going be obsolete for another couple of years. There's an upgraded version due at the end of next year but the current one should still be considered top of the line for a few years.

                                  Not all 360 games will work on it but a lot of the more popular ones do. Current list is here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/b...vailable-games

                                        Obama has said on several occasions the Trump will never be POTUS. If that's not a direct threat I don't know what is.

                                              They might take HRC out to save embarrassment of all the scandals coming from the Wikileaks email releases.

                                                    Most people would say there hasn't been an attempt on Obama, yet theres

                                                      Baseball is another example of yanks being brain dead idiots. It's like loads of countries sent their worst people then the Irish sent their people and built the place for a collection of massive idiots which formed a massive land of idiots who watch rounders fueled by steroids. Fuck baseball.

The game he played wasnt out on the new console yet. He then sold that after getting the Xbox One the following year. Far better bit of kit. Aimee uses her XBox 360, it is perfect for her and her Minecraft and Marvel superheroes games... for the moment! she will one day want the latest I am sure but for now she is happy with her xbox (Which we picked up second hand 18 months ago, great value)

                                                                                Most good dark you'd be using would be 70%+, be the EU legal min is 35%.

                                                                                A yeah! It would have been, in cheffing the better chocolate will be used for sure!

                                                                                I have tried 85% chocolate and it was very very bitter, not sure if I tasted higher as that put me off. I LOVE dark chocolate, would take that over milk any day of the week but this was just too much, even for me.
