My minor claim to fame is that a relative tried to do something about that.

Should have said, I’m with Virgin as well.

Why can’t I get on to NPR via home Wi-Fi but I can via mobile data or other people’s WiFi? I’ve tried switching on and off and everything else I can think of. Desperate for intellectual stimulation. What message are you getting? sounds like your local firewall might have it shitlilsted No message. ...

No we bloody don’t.

If the weather is nice then wandering round St James Park, Whitehall, Westminster etc is also good I love that, hoping that some of the power and wealth will rub off on me. But don’t stand outside the MI5 building taking photographs, the police descended pretty quickly on whoever it was that though...

Starting earlier can be challenging with the dew here, in fairness, but playing later is very feasible There’s probably a case for more flexibility but I wonder how happy the broadcasters would be about keeping say a twelve hour slot in their schedule for a Test match. Maybe as a one-off like today...

I must admit a bit of “We’d be happy if the positions were reversed” wouldn’t go amiss.

A sport in real danger from climate change, too. It's inherently conservative which leaves it in a bad position to handle the rapid changes that are going to need to be addressed very soon. I’m South Africa they’ll start 30 minutes early if they lose time due to light or rain. ECB refuse to even en...

Natural History Museum Zero cost and will kill 3 hours quickly That and the V&A are my default option, given I’m staying around there. If the weather is nice then wandering round St James Park, Whitehall, Westminster etc is also good I love that, hoping that some of the power and wealth will ru...

FM. At Royal Welsh on Mon. Hope it's not a mud bath.
I fancy doing that sometime, just too far for a day trip.
Same here! Hotel overnight.

I’d like to go but not quite bothered enough.

Lucky you. It's monsoon here and in for the duration.
3:00 pm - raining again.

If using the car for commuting then get a newer model as the pollution causes real harm. I think if the harm was better communicated then there might be more understanding too. There’s then the question of what’s environmentally worse - having a new car made for you or keeping your old one on the r...

I wouldn’t call myself a hoarder as I don’t buy much in the first place. I’ve a few hundred books on the shelves on the basis of when I’m too old to do the gardening etc I’ll get round to reading them again. Probably more clothes than I need but it seems wasteful to throw them out. Perhaps my 1979s ...

In my street there are a good dozen non-compliant diesel cars/vans, equating to about 15% of the total vehicles. Some I checked on AutoTrader and their resale price was 15k in several cases. To get an equivalent compliant replacement was going to cost them another 10k. For some reason the pensioner...

Re ULEZ and the climate change side of it - there has to be seen to be equity in this. If I were affected I’d think why I am being hit by this when other people can do tens of thousands of miles a year without being so affected? I’d also wonder whether I was doing £12.50 worth of damage a day. I rea...

Peas in a pod. Rhyl is basically a Liverpool borough tbh

It’s the Mancs in Abersoch that are the big problem.

Birkenhead central.

We tell people we live between Liverpool and Chester, which has the advantage of being true and it isn’t Ellesmere Port.

Must say we’ve flown a fair bit with EasyJet and Ryanair from Manc and L’pool over the years and on the whole they’ve been fine. Touching a big bit of wood as I say it.

Spent the good part of 30 years living in South Oxfordshire, some of the old boys accents were very similar to Somerset.. I grew up in South Oxfordshire and that raised a smile. 'Old Boy' was ubiquitous to describe pretty much anyone. This Old boy this and this Old boy that etc. Live in Southport n...

Sounds like race day in Chester today.

The Med heatwave seems to be missing a lot of S France. Had 2 days of cloud in last 4, hours of drizzle today and temp has now gone below 17c. Re-acclimatising to UK weather :lol: Cicadas are annoying. I was thinking that somewhere there has to be a sweet spot between nonstop rain and 40+ degrees.

Is definitely still an older destination but big changes since we were last there and lots of stuff for young families like ours What was the landing at the airport like? It can be, interesting, from wha...

Been a little while since we had a brainless idea from our glorious leaders, but here we are. So while we are at it why doesn't the PM go out and round up absentee MPs from debates and votes? https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1679715452610568192 ----------------------------------------------------...

Going to wait til its on sky. Can't be arsed with the cinema anymore.

I hardly ever go but it’s an enjoyable change when I do so, maybe it’s the bag of picknmix that does the trick.

I really don't appear to be getting this. The police have stated there is no evidence of criminality. The "victim's" own lawyer has said the accusations are rubbish . And so the sum of this appears to be a full scale witch-hunt and trial by sowshulll meeeejuuhh generated by possibly the U...

So GDP down and no growth since 2019. Interes rate rise mean less ability for industry to invest. The Pay Review bodies to recommend rises greater than the Govt will resource. Mortgages to rise by £500 a month. Not a great look for UK PLC and the government. Omnishambles springs to mind. I'm not an...

Mad Nad still spitting feathers about that peerage!! Wish she'd just fuck off like she promised!

While it's creepy given the likely age gap, is there actually anything illegal in one person over the age of consent paying another person over the age of consent for naked photos?

Wot? The electric motor provides braking IN ADDITION to the wheel brakes. More than a combustion engine is capable of. IC engine braking exists. But if you want to use it to charge the battery you need an extra electric motor. EVs already have that so it's a no-brainer to implement. IIRC a friend h...
