Has anything genuinely surprised you so far this year?

[RedKnight]

Wanted to ask here rather than trust random search results.

Happy to share more context if it helps.

The obvious route might be right but I wanted to check before committing to it.

I have read the obvious takes on this and they all skip over the part where it gets complicated.

Appreciate any honest input.

[QuantumDay]

I don't know about that. Nice one.

[KnotKnull]

That is the sensible approach. I set a calendar reminder to check rates every three months and it saves me a fair bit.

Not a life changer but it adds up.

[TommyB_20]

I am not having that. Home advantage is still massive and gets written off too easily.

Cannot wait for the game to settle it.

[One-One-Five]

I don't know about that. Nice one.

Cheers for that. Fair enough really.

Good thread this.

[WhatUQuant]

Seems like it from what I have seen. The incentive structures in media mean certain angles get more coverage than they deserve.

Interesting to see where it goes.

[MayanHan]

A lot depends on who is making the claim and what they are trying to sell. I find the best analysis usually comes a week or two after the initial coverage settles down.

That is my read on it anyway.

[NinaVrina]

I would push back on that slightly. I have fixed more machines by doing less than by doing the obvious dramatic thing.

Let us know how it goes.

[ElPresidente]

I would do the prep differently. Rushing the drying or setting time is where most jobs go wrong.

Post a photo when it is done.

[Aaron]

Good shout. Same here honestly.

Appreciate it.

[Vanessa26]

From what I saw that checks out. Worth keeping an eye on.

[MayanHan]

Feels like the right read on it. Most people form opinions on things like this before the full picture is available.

Worth keeping an eye on.

[Ellie_28]

Yes, and there is more to it too. Glad this came up.

[Glenn]

Okay that makes more sense than what I had in my head. Cheers for the explanation.

[HiggsField29]

I would only bother if the saving is real and not just headline nonsense. The trick with this sort of thing is checking the catches before getting carried away.

Not a life changer but it adds up.
