    Stock market dealing

    These giant IPOs form such a large wedge of the market that US and International tracker funds will be obliged to buy them. Despite opinions that they are overblown. In other news, I sold almost all my remaining international funds earlier this year.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    "US crude exports have surged 2mn barrels a day since the war began. Washington calls it energy dominance. Look closer and it is something else: America is exporting its insurance policy. The extra barrels come not from new production but from storage — the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen...

    That is the reverse of the truth. First mention of the idea.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    Why do you suggest breaking up NATO? Are you Trump? Nobody else favours invading other NATO members, or neighbours, occupying them, and seizing their land. That's more like Netanyahu. Or Putin.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    And Trump's bankroller These people cannot understand that nations cannot be forced into a deal. Iran did not give up and roll over. Nor did Britain. Bombing people and destroying and a nation does not win you friends.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    However Trump did his best to deter Ukraine, and tried to pressure them into surrendering their land, sovereignty and armed forces.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    I haven't seen anybody recommend that Europe "drops US as an ally." But that we cannot rely on them and should not allow them to dominate and control our defence organisations. I'm amused to see you think that Trump deters his buddy Putin.

    Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

    NATO is dominated by US, which means the barmy Trump. A friend of Putin, not a friend of European democracy. An unreliable ally who is not committed to the defence of Europe. We are Europeans. We cannot depend of a fickle semi-detached supporter. If US takes three years to join us, as...

    BoschSeries 2 fridge door left open - no longer gets cold enough

    I can't help feeling that if you had given it a longer defrost it would have melted the blockage out well before now.

    Well done wind

    Not very windy today, but it is still giving us nearly four times as much power as gas. Very encouraging. Solar is patchy, at about 7GW

    Well done wind

    A few nutters find a thread they don't like, and try to fill it with off-topic nonsense.

    Mobile sim only deals.

    There are only four actual networks in UK, all the other brands are just trade resellers. Your area may be poorly served by one, another may do better. EE has widest coverage but I've heard Vodafone is better in large cities. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/mobiles/piggybacking/

    Mobile sim only deals.

    Last time I changed, it was Asda. Virgin are notorious for winching up the prices on loyal customers. Look here https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-mobile-finder/sim-only-all/

    Well done wind

    Currently, Solar is 30% of UK load, and wind is 20%. Not bad for a dull, rainy spell. Well done renewables. It's always nice to see the idiot Trump proved wrong.
