My pension is not enough. Yeah, sorry I was talking specifically about ISAs, but didn't say so. It was Cov. Building Society that was doing them - 5 year fixed rates that were about 1% higher then orn'ry ISAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how I now yearn for the 15% interest rates of the mid 80s (when of course I was paying it on my mortgage). They don't care where it comes from. If you have a couple of accounts, there's nothing to stop you setting up standing orders to send the money back and forth between them. I always make sure there's enough in there for the bills, but I have my salary routed around 3 different accounts to make sure I get interest on all of them.

Xela Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Wasn't as that warm here today, but was about 15 degrees but took me by surprise as I wore my normal coat to work. By the time I walked from the train station to my office carrying all my stuff (laptop bag, paperwork, etc) I was sweating like Gary Glitter in the PC World repair centre, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 i think i got bitten by a snake on sunday whilst out with the dog. i was walking her in a bit of woodland and i felt this strike which was like someone had wacked me with a big stick at the bottom of my leg. got two perfectly lined puncture marks on my leg about a cm or two between each other, also its really tender and a tiny bit of swelling around the bite marks. walking with a slight limp from it. it could be an adder or grass snake, but id hate to feel a bite from a rattlesnake or something like that because the strike i got was hard enough.

chrisp65 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm pretty sure the adder is the only native poisonous snake in the UK. They're relatively common as a species, venomous but not deadly (or at least spectacularly rarely), quite a few areas around here have signs up warning of their presence. None in Ireland?

Nope, no snakes in Ireland. Our ones failed to go over and multiply, since they're only adders. Boom boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulls, horses and cows are about as dangerous as native fauna gets. Or to quote Bill Bailey, 'badger'll give you a nasty nip'. This country is almost laughably safe in wildlife terms.
