    BBC News App

    Spotted this on the BBC news app today. I would prefer it to be Clarkson, but the hamster would make a great transport secretary too.

    Overpayment dilemma

    And I've submitted my self assessment now, how would I retract that from IR so that I don't bear the cost of the tax on it, I mean that would end up costing me £400!

    Overpayment dilemma

    They haven't noticed in 14 months, surely they've been through year end and everything balanced? And it's reflected in my P60.

    Trek or Specialized

    Totally unrelated to my "Overpayment" post, I have narrowed down my choice of new MTB to a Trek Fuel EX7 or a Specialized Camber Expert. The Trek is £100 dearer, is it worth the extra? I have riden both bikes and they both feel good, I can hardly tell them apart. What do you fellow MTB's think?

    Overpayment dilemma

    I'd probably feel just as awkward telling them they haven't done their job properly.

    Overpayment dilemma

    So I'm doing my self-assessment for the tax man and I'm going through my payslips and I notice that i was overpaid 1 month. We were given a 2% annual increase which was back-dated a few months, but a few people never got it payed in their May pay, so they were payed it in June - except I got it...

    How do you like your Steak ******?

    Rare! Then again, being South African, I'm partial to it raw too, spiced and hung to dry of course.

    Stuck abroad?

    Anyone else stuck abroad at the moment? We are in Malaga, were supposed to fly back on sat 17th, now booked on a flight on 24th. Gotta praise easyjet, they've put us up in a 4* hotel with meals included which is jolly good of them. I'm really glad we didn't fly with a certain Irish budget...

    Dont EVER arm wrestle, especially when drunk!

    Yep. Years ago I used to arm wrestle anybody. After a night on the beer, we used to go to a pizza place in town, and then arm-wrestle on one of those plastic bins outside on the pavement at 2am. I'd developed a reputation and guys used to be waiting for me. I never lost, but I stopped after a...

    Phone Question Please!!

    The problem with insurance is that it doesn't cover a manufacturing defect/fault. It only seems to cover loss, theft and certain accidental damages. Also, if they replace the phone it's still going to cost you the £20-£30 excess. What make of phone is it? It might be better going direct to the...

    removal of chimney stack and neighbour

    Bear in mind that you don't need to remove the whole stack, you can support the stack with a suitable Reinforced Steel Joist(RSJ), which I guess is what your neighbour has done if her stack is still sticking out of her roof.

    Windscreen Chip Repair

    A forged signature is a criminal offence, so I'd ring them up and put the frighteners on them.

    Credit crunch? what credit crunch.............................

    I'm a project manager for a utility company, which is actually owned by an American bank, so all our project funding has been pulled. Even though the utility company is performing well financially, all the profit is being sucked into the bank to get it out of the sht. So, with no projects to...

    Draughty downlighters PLEASE HELP!!!

    Be carefull enclosing them, they get very hot and need a certain amount of space to dissipate the heat. Have a look on screwfix, they have got fire-rated hoods which might do the trick. Is your kitchen a single storey elevation? Is the ceiling insulated?
