BigBirdy commented on Need Recommendations for an E-Bike
I’d be wary about spending too much on an e-bike, especially after your recent bicycle experience. I bought a cheap’ish e-bike from a...

Generally you’re correct, but most/many policies offer cover for specified portable items, which can (potentially, I haven’t tried)...

Not true. Even on the offical FB page of a media company, you will see articles as FB’s algorithm presents them to you. You can hunt down...

It’s not your neighbour’s fault. Your neighbours are not suffering because of the current situation. If you want a good relationship...

No mention of those friends who used leverage to wipe-out their lifetime of accumulated assets? Given time, you’ll have such friends

A bit of advice for a young person on a budget buying a car ... get an online insurance quote (from a few insurers) for the model you’re...

There has been so many ‘high profile’ deaths from Covid, in all walks of life (athletes, politicians, actors, scientists, etc). I guess...
