Re: EV Thread

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/bike-goes-up-in-flames-in-town-centre-306073/ Why is that in the EV thread? It's a vehicle fire in the news, therefore it must be an ev, and if not therefore then, well, it doesn't say it isn't an ev does it, so it could be. Well reasoned. I withdraw my chal...

You want a 612 - the best looking Ferrari ever made. And it’s simple RWD.
Not sure it is the best looking one, but they're quite something.

Re: Your fleet running reports

355 was always the one for me, but not sure how those values are. So can the man maths then say that actually a 360 or 458 is a better bet because you pay more up front… I think you’ll find a 355 is more than a 360 ! The 360 is cheap, and usable. That’s my boxes ticked. Nobody ever accused you of b...

Re: The Movie Thread

Anatomy of a Fall (Prime) Very, very confusing. Watched it in two sittings as I fell asleep first time round although that's not the film's fault. The lead is fantastic, carrying the whole film, and the plot leaves you guessing with no obvious outcome. I do hope the portrayal of the functioning of ...

Shogun (Disney+)

Didn't expect it to be so good. Really enjoying it, the vibe is great and keeping the main language Japanese really lifts it.

8/10 genuflecting samurai.

Re: Car Hire Lottery

That's similar to how mainframes used to be priced. All kit in the box from the start, and then you bought a licence to get more CPU or RAM enabled. Makes it easier for them.

Re: The House Projects Thread

Looks like our render repair project is expanding a bit. The porch, which was badly built from the start, is now beginning to look it wants to come away from the house.

Builder will look at it tomorrow. Glad I got that tax refund!

Re: HMRC Automated Phone System

Just to round it off. Woke up to a notification from the HMRC app notifying me of a message. Message told me to claim my refund, which took all of 30 seconds. Money should be in the bank no later than Friday.

Can't fault the service apart from the initial issue.

Depends on what device you're using. If you're on your phone it'll usually be in the gallery app. If on a laptop you can use Paint or similar to reduce the resolution.

Create an account on the OV9 Gallery and use that. Pics can be up to 2mb.
