    Car purchase methods

    My lease is up in August and I was thinking of getting another leased car but as I intend to retire in 3 years I’m probably going to buy a 2/3 year old Volvo xc60 with cash deposit and a bank loan, repay it in 3 years. Edit: I see that the Mercedes GLC AMG and the Audi Q5 S Line is also in my...

    What do you mean here? S&S ISAs have been performing great over the last 12 months. Even after the big tariff dip they rallied back quickly. This latest thing in the Middle East will certainly cause a dip but once resolved they will rally again.

    AI threats to employment

    Hey that is a great idea, let’s discuss that. 🤔 😆 I encouraged my youngest to go to Uni for the life experience, his last two years at school were wrecked by Covid so I wanted him to see a bit of the world. Realistically though there wasn’t many other options, the economy was still in shock...

    AI threats to employment

    Random Irritations

    You can roll your eyes Ken but there is not a single thing that we can do or say to affect the situation in the Middle East, so why not have a little chuckle? The U.S Department of War (yes that’s really their name) have declared on Facebook this operation is called EPIC FURY, there are nearly...

    AI threats to employment

    Since 1700 technology has been used to make humans redundant. Not much difference between Jethro Tulls seed drill and AI, they are all designed to replace humans (and remove the associated costs). The few extra jobs created are insignificant compared to the people who are put out of work. My...
