Just change your number to something like 07777777777. That will work for the UK.

Every extra oil well widens the availability of the product, that's bad. Please stop drilling.

I work for a UK bank, and we automatically provide your replacement card details to all subscriptions, for example Netflix, Spotify, adobe, amazon prime, gym and many many others etc. The reason for that is that if you lost your card or it expired, you would otherwise have to spend ages updating the card numbers with all your providers. We call the subscriptions 'recurring visa' and if you ask your bank to place a recurring visa block, it's quick and easy and we won't let your named merchant take further funds. No need for a new card. However, if you are in a contract and you deny the company access to your bank card, they may demand that you pay for the rest of the contract still. They won't be able to get the money from the bank tho.

I don't think it's possible to quit smoking twice. The first time, there was just a longer gap between cigarettes.

if the device switches off while in use on charge, that's too slow. if the device switches off whilst charging because it overheats, that's too fast. in between, forget it, the electronics will handle everything, and yes slower charging is better for battery life but you needn't obsess over the difference, it's there but unquantifi able. if you've heard anything other than this advice and you believe what you've heard, there's not much point in people here trying to guide you.

Ah, but which brand of washing machine, that's what we're all about here in this thread!

if you are paying for any streaming service that has advert breaks, you are the reason there are commercials. imagine if subscribers walked away when they were introduced!

check the waste pipes carrying water away from the machine because there's a blockage somewhere.
