Kemi Badenoch and the Conservatives are proposing a £10bn 'British Iron Dome', but I'm struggling to see how £10bn would pay for a project of that scale.

As outlined in the article I linked above, General Sir Richard Barrons told MPs earlier this year that "the cost of an Iron Dome at entry level is probably £80 billion over 10 years." And that's before you get to the cost of maintenance and consistent procurement of interceptors!

So the figures don't add up to me. If £10bn is enough, what exactly are we getting out of this money? And who ends up paying when the bill inevitably starts creeping up?

Recently, me and a couple of my friends have been playing Fort Mode in Worms WMD, with us on one team and the hardest AI on the other. We’ve been doing that for a couple of months now, and there have been no issues besides the opposing teams’ dodgy AI, but that was funny more than frustrating.

However, in the last day, the opposing team has been spawning themselves over water during the Teleport In sequence right at the start of the game. About 3-4 worms per game start this way and obviously instantly die. Also, some of the worms teleport in to places they can’t, like in our fort or embedded into terrain (which creates a little hole around the worm as if an explosion had occurred). Our only theory is that the opposing team is trying to balance itself out, as we’ve recently been doing 4 v 8 worms per player per team. But we’ve been doing that a couple weeks and they’ve only started killing themselves today.

I know the AI is dodgy but we want as much as a challenge as it can be, and when four of their team kill themselves before the game’s even begun it’s not as fun! Any advice?

Hi, what are your thoughts on Irwin Mitchell? I’m applying for TC’s this cycle and they’re one of my top firms, but would like to get some honest insight into the firm if anyone has any! Thanks

Hey! This is my first time posting here so I hope I’m doing this right.

I made a custom exterior in LtD for the first time, and got confused and sank a few hours into making a nice Custom House in the ‘Shapes’ section… this section is just a square and doesn’t include a roof. Is there anyway I can transfer this design to the ‘Buildings’ section? Is there a copy and transfer tool? A way to make a custom stamp? I really don’t want to have copy it all manually.

Any help would be appreciated !

Hi, I’m looking for some advice on how to sort out this situation.

Last week I bought two tops from the same seller (different orders). One of them I was really excited to come and really into, the other not as much but I still liked. A few days ago, the seller shipped one, the one I wasn’t as excited about, but not the other. This morning, the parcel arrived at my post office. He still hadn’t shipped the other top, the one I really wanted, so messaged him politely and asked if he’d ship it today or tomorrow, as the automatic refund comes in in 2 days. Throughout the day, I kept checking if he had replied - he didn’t, but was active pretty much the entire time, so was ignoring me.

Later this afternoon I picked up my parcel from the post office, which I presumed was the top I wasn’t as excited about. However when I opened it, it was the top I really wanted. Which obviously great! But there is a price difference between the two, around £9. So I’d spent £29 on a top that should have been £20.

I messaged the seller again explaining the situation, and saying that it was totally fine if he shipped the other top as then I’d have paid the right price for both tops (eventually). However, he STILL hasn’t replied and has been active the entire time.

I know it’s petty, and I wouldn’t be that bothered about £9 if the seller hadn’t been ignoring me. But is there any way I can settle the price difference without having to send the top I like back? I can’t seem to figure it out through the normal ‘raise an issue’ process.

Thanks!
