Kate Bush at the BBC

by 1 Comment

I missed this the first time round but it is currently on the BBC iPlayer.

Some great clips I had never seen before so if you like her I recommend it.

Electric Cars

by 25 Comments

The FPO and I have finally decided to trade in our 2002 Toyota RAV4 as a second car and we are going green.

We will be buying a top spec Nissan Leaf that we will hope to keep for another 13 years.

Does anyone here have experience of electric cars and their practicality. This car will be used for the school run, trips to the supermarket etc. so is an ideal choice I think.

ATM Places to rent in London over Easter

by 10 Comments

I will be taking Mrs Wheaty and the kids (4 and 6) to London the week after Easter weekend for three days to enjoy all it has to offer.

Does anyone have any good recommendations on a self catering apartment type option in the centre of London?

Has the way you listen to music changed in the last couple of years?

Since I purchased my iPhone 6 which includes a free 2 years subscription to Spotify Premium I know that mine has changed forever. I only bought one CD last year (Royal Blood) and doubt I will buy many more in the future.

I still play my CDs in the car but as technology develops I am sure this will change as well. All of my CDs have been stored in the loft for a few years having been ripped to iTunes and put on the iPod but even this seems redundant now.

Cricket World Cup Thread

An interesting start IMHO with England being truly awful and Ireland pulling off a not completely unexpected victory over the West Indies.

High scores seem to be par for the course on these pitches and anything below 300+ is unlikely to get you a victory (the Scotland/New Zealand game being the exception so far).

Any thoughts on other potential upsets to come?
