Unfortunately I can't seem to pull myself away from the soap opera either and regularly check for results and random football news online. It's an addiction of sorts.

Football Rant Thread

It is an eternal soap opera and as trivial as celebrity gossip but still occupies the thoughts of millions of otherwise intelligent adults who really must have better things to do with their time. My best guesses for why this is: a. Supporting a team makes one part of a larger group. b. Combative an...

What's so special about 38.17N 88.38W? I'm looking at that location and all I see are trees. Is it an alien base?

Damn it's probably a con-operation. Firstly, I hear 'as low as 4.1% APR if your credit rating is good' said a lot, and if this is true, the loan has to be between £7500 and £15000 using the Tesco rates as it is they who provide the finance. Moreover, they are reluctant to install systems over 4kW as...

Hi Altman. I would be a little worried about buying panels right now. There is talk that the next generation of panel will work well from the IR spectrum, which means cloudy days are no problem. This might affect the FIT and re-sale price for current panels. Who knows. The interviewer mentioned som...

The financing is though Tesco Bank at around 5.7% APR if between £5000 and £7499. Judging from http://www.theecoexperts.co.uk/how-much-do-solar-panels-cost-uk a 3kW set up would cost between £4,000 and £6,000. From memory, the interviewer mentioned how the ROI for the buyer is about +8% per year, wh...

Catweazle and Tarrel, I read the other topic about solar sales, if you have any advice for me I'd appreciate it. My job would be calling potential customers and trying to arrange an appointment for another sales rep to visit them personally.

Energy for Britain

I've been offered a job to work for these guys: www.energyforbritain.com and I'd like an all clear from the PS forum so I can get to work with a clean conscience. The deal, from what I was told by the interviewer, is that the customer takes out a loan to purchase solar panels for their home, and the...

Taking off my PC hat, but how can the jihadists be described as British as they were in a newspaper article I was reading. I thought that the qualifications for Britishness were a collection of cultural values, one of which was 'not being a Jihadist'. Or is it just a word that means nothing?

Putting on my evil genius hat...could this be the creation of Iran and/or Russia as retaliation for the US meddling in the Ukraine? Russia is not concerned with disrupted oil supply, being an exporter (iirc) while this clusterf**k in Iraq is very bad for the USA because they will be dragged in to pr...
