    Need an old bit.ly account

    Bit of a long shot here but does anyone have an old bit.ly account which they have no need of? New accounts don't have the same allowances as old ones so I have to keep creating links in a single account for multiple purposes (paying for premium account is out of the question)

    Capital Gains Tax for a residence that was let for a period of time

    What would be the calculation of the capital gains tax for a freehold property that was owned for 30 years, but was rented for 5? Would there be a tax relief for the last 18 months and then a payment of CGT on the 3.5 years calculated on the rental income?

    Car auctions

    I want to purchase a car from auctions rather than private, trader, or dealer. Unfortunately, I can't sign up to view online auctions as I am not a trader. Are there any auctions with a good selection of cars that don't require me to be a trader? I was looking at BCA as they have a wide...

    Crimping solid core Cat 6 - any advice

    I was under the impression that this could not be done. However, I've found products such as this which claim to be able to do the job: https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-RJ45-Modular-Plug-Solid-Clear/dp/B003GSAM4C Thoughts? Can it be done, and can it be done using a standard crimping tool?

    Can anyone identify this item and it's value?

    Want to sell this but not sure what these are called. Can anyone help me with the name or description so that I may search for similar items before advertising? I believe that they may be Christmas lights but searching for that brings up the traditional trees as expected.

    Is my DM800HD clone gone for good?

    My box recently froze. After powering off and back on, it didn't do anything and all it does since is let off a little scream. I have a feeling it's to do with the power board or a capacitor leaking. There is a hard drive inside but it's no longer connected as the power drain from the drive...
