Basically me and wife's credit is pretty shit basically, but we've got £100,000 for a deposit on a 180k house. Firstly with such a big deposit, would it be possible to get a mortgage with bad credit? If not, my sister would like to help out by being our guarantor if we can't get a mortgage. Are these still available and what are the rates like? She's perfect credit, great job, with a fully paid house in London.

Been confirmed that pantera are playing next year's download festival, bad news is that probably means no other UK dates. Also they aren't headlining, it's basically the worst, unmetal, lineup the the festivals history. And the rainbow unicorns will protest that much, they probably will end up pulling out anyway.

I've disconnected an electric oven and got rid of it, what do I do with the wire coming out of the wall til my new cooker arrives?? I've taped it up with insulated tape a few times, but surely it's not too safe lying against the wall?

So I'm buying my first home at last, after inheriting a decent bit of money. Looking to buy a house around 180k, with a 120k deposit. I'm 50, so do I go for a 20/25 year mortgage, but try and pay it off sooner with any extra cash monthly, or go for a 10 year mortgage, to know it'll be finished well before retirement.

She left her 4 grandkids £10,000 each, and the rest of her money and house to her 3 kids (including me) to be split equally. Just wondered roughly how long it would take for the grandkids to get their money. She had around £60,000 in her current account. Plus other savings, and as I say , her house too.

So we've come into £100,000 recently, currently renting. Unfortunately I've been a numpty in the last 5 to 10 years, and got ourselves in nearly £20,000 in debt with various credit cards etc. Our combined salaries are around £60,000. So basically, will I have problems getting a mortgage for a £160,000 house, with £90,000 deposit. Or should I pay my debts, and put £70,000 deposit? As I say, my credit is awful.

Haven't used my firestick for well over a year. But plugged it into TV and the remote won't work with it. Fortunately the TV remote worked, tho very slowly. I got into settings to search for the remote, while pressing home button, it flashed orange, but couldn't find it. I've changed batteries, any other ideas?

I've heard rumours of a 2024 tour, let's hope so. I reckon they'd sell well, at Glasgow hydro sorta size. 10/15,000 arenas. They won't be asked to do download festival etc as the rainbow unicorns will protest and go full mental about it. Here's hoping for Belfast, but Glasgow is always a good option too.

Anyone know of any pubs close by 3 arena that would be rockin before the gig, or any parks close for a few cans?

Getting a lift down mid afternoon for the iron maiden gig at 3 arena on Saturday. Anywhere around there for chilling with a few cans for couple hours? Or any pubs close by recommended??

So anyone found any decent merchandise for the final? Spotted 1 scarf , 2 badges and a bucket hat on eBay so far!! Not much at all. I see there's the 'new' home shirt on the typical foreign sites, could always get that, with Prague 23 on the back, but probably a bit wanky.

What's the likelihood of a random Northern Irish hammers supporter getting a couple of tickets for it? Tickets for last night seemed easy enough to get, but I'm sure season ticket holders will be filling the place for the semi.

After the cancellation of the Ozzy tour, which feels like a decade ago (4 years I think), Rob has said priest need to tour UK for their fans. Really needs to happen, I actually got my ticket to see priest , not Ozzy!! Suppose it takes a lot of organising tho, to get the right concert halls etc. It needs to happen this year tho!!

Getting more and more paranoid about my thinning hair, I've usually kept it shoulder length, and now I'm very interested in a hair system. A couple of questions, is a longer style possible, as I've seen mostly pretty short styled hair on here. Which I definitely wouldn't complain about!! Another question is that when I was talking to the stylist before making the commitment, she said her system is hand made, top quality, and should last between 12 to 18 months. I thought they normally lasted 4 to 5 months. The price is £900 in UK. Thanks.
