Finally sorted out my NIC payments for state pension, turns out it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I only have to bung in a few quid for two partial years and, assuming I live and work till 67, I'll get the full whack. (If they don't move retirement age again!)
Anyhoo, Gods bless Martin Lewis for highlighting the issue.

Coax networking. That takes me back!
Back in the day I got sent on a job at a translation office, connecting a load of PCs up to a network. It was probably for a Netware server, Lotus Notes or some shit. All went well till the last two PCs in a side office...
The BNC T-piece got within about an inch of the newly fitted network card and ZAP! a giant spark and all the office electrics blew out. On two floors  Turns out neutral was tied to ground and swapped with live for every socket in this side office  Given the PC cases were live it was lucky I wasn't electrocuted! (The coax effectively being a ground supply from the other floors.) Oh, and every network card was destroyed.
