    Converting ISAs

    Any financial whizz kids who can advise on this, please? I have Stocks & Shares ISAs which I want to move into joint names. ISA rules don’t allow that so I’m assuming I’d need either to transfer to a joint general account on the same investment fund platform (if feasible) or sell and re-buy the...

    Euthanasia or re-homing?

    If you were a retired greyhound or race-horse, would it be better to be euthanised or thrown to the tender mercies of people who might give you a good home, or race you to the death or boil you alive? Because their welfare is worth fcuk all, isn’t it?

    DVLC criteria

    I’m sat at my window watching the fifth person today race up a short, narrow medieval street with “no entry” sign only to find a bollard at the other end. Is it a DVLC requirement for motorists to be thick as pigshit or short-sighted!

    Smacking to be outlawed in Scotland

    Slapping your kids, that is....to be banned by law. Nothing about administering a Glasgow kiss though. Or smuggling them over the border to give 'em a good kicking. Bluemoon views?

    I'd like to research my lineage and recently registered with my heritage.com. Received a "free offer" from them which basically plays you for a fat boy and is totally worthless. Has anyone done this online and can they recommend a good site? I don't mind paying as long as it's entirely...

    Cameron takes the p***

    Honours for his wife's hair stylist, party donors, failed Remain campaigners and other placemen. I thought Brexit had given them a jolt. What more does it take for politicians to realise most of them are held in contempt?
