Does anyone else feel like owning an EV in the UK has accidentally turned them into a part-time logistics manager?

I swear I spend more mental energy planning charging than I do actually driving the car sometimes. Not even range anxiety anymore, more charger anxiety. Is it working? Is it actually available? Will the app randomly decide I don’t exist halfway through the session? I still enjoy owning the EV overall but sometimes it feels like the UK infrastructure requires a weird amount of optimism.

The funniest Off Menu episodes are honestly the ones where the guest completely ignores the format, What do you think?

There’s something unbelievably funny about guests turning up with chaotic energy and immediately refusing to engage properly with the dream restaurant concept. Especially when Ed is trying so hard to keep things moving while James slowly loses patience with someone explaining the emotional backstory of a piece of toast for 14 minutes.

What’s the most British Amex experience you’ve had?

For me it’s still small independent shops looking mildly offended when you ask if they take Amex, followed immediately by a Pret, Tesco or random corner shop accepting it with absolutely no issue. The inconsistency still catches me off guard.

Sky bundling Disney Plus, HBO Max, Netflix and Hayu into one package sounds impressive until you look at what tier of each service you actually get.

Netflix Standard. HBO Max Basic with Ads. Disney Plus Standard with Ads. All ad supported base tiers bundled together and presented as a value proposition. For people who were already paying for ad free versions of these services separately the bundle makes no sense at all. For people starting from scratch who do not care about ads it might be the best value streaming deal in the UK right now. Which camp are you in and has anyone actually run the numbers on what the switch to Sky Ultimate TV would save or cost them specifically?

The moment you realised you had stopped converting prices back to your home currency in your head was the moment the UK actually started feeling like home.

For months everything had a mental tax on it. Every coffee, every rent payment, every supermarket shop ran through a calculation before it landed. Then one day it stopped. The numbers just became numbers. It was such a small shift and it happened completely without warning but looking back it was the clearest signal that something had changed about how settled you actually were. What was your equivalent moment where something small told you the move had actually worked?

The supervision system is either the best thing about Cambridge or the most anxiety inducing depending entirely on who your supervisor is and does anyone else feel like this is just accepted as normal?

Had a supervision last week where I felt genuinely intellectually stretched in a way that made the whole week feel worthwhile. Had one the week before where I sat in a room for an hour being made to feel like I had not read anything correctly despite having read everything. Same format. Completely different experience. The quality variance between supervisors is enormous and nobody really talks about it openly. Is there a way to address a bad supervision dynamic or do you just endure it until the term ends.

Been a Vodafone customer for eleven years and just found out a new customer gets the exact same plan I am on for £14 less a month. How is this still legal?
