Re: Euromillions immediate purchase
Big house in country, with attendant staff (housekeeping, groundkeeping, valet*). The purchasing would take time but start immediately. I would prioritise Yorkshire area but consider others, although a castle in Scotland would not be out of the question. Rebuild may be required, with planning suffic...

Re: The House Projects Thread
Mrs Newt and I use separate bathrooms because our house has two bathrooms so why wouldn't you. Anyway it looks like the toilet cistern in her bathroom has come away from the wall a little, I guess the screws not well seated and have slowly pulled out of the drywall. I'll get the builder back to fix ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Not driving = sell. And… buy something else? That I also won't drive 8-) I'm a nightmare with cars. Good job I have an understanding wife. Have you thought about some kind of business case where you buy mildly borked vehicles, enjoy the process of fixing them, drive them a bit, then sell them on? F...

Had a similar experience. Why is it going up so much and so fast?

Re: AI
Having flounced away from having to do anything code related about 6 months ago because "it's too hard" and it's "nerd stuff" I have now re-embraced it by using chatgpt or copilot to write simple R scripts for me. For the most part, it simplifies it right down, although it can't ...

Re: Decent Recent TV
True Detective - Series 4 concluded last night on a very satisfactory ending. It's been very good overall - I'd rate it second behind Series 1 but ahead of Series 3 and the, frankly pretty poor series 2. Very atmospheric, very claustrophobic, some great characters and performances (especially Boxer...

Re: UHT Problem
I LOVE MY BRICK
Re: y'day
I work in a heart and lung hospital.
On the lung wards, ICD means “intercostal drain” (chest drain).
On the heart wards, ICD means “implantable cardioverter defibrillator”.
These are very different things.
It is unhelpful.

Re: Charidee
What really gets me is the way some of them seem to genuinely get angry as if they are entitled to your money. Some numpty from the air ambulance did this to me so I told him I thought his charity was a waste of time because 95% of their patients die anyway.
Re: Charidee
I tend to come up with escalating excuses in these situations. A recent favourite was “I’m sorry but I need a poo” delivered in a clipped Radio 4 tone.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Not the first time I have heard that, and I can believe it. Steve Cropley once heavily implied that it was him repeatedly asking "Are you okay, are you okay 'Arry?" twenty or more times during an impassioned defence of the Mondial that gave rise to the song's notorious chorus.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Harry was - famously - Michael Jackson's inspiration for the Smooth Criminal video. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/Smooth_criminal_video.jpg Apparently it was a 1980s Metcalfe describing that a Maserati was emitting "the sound of a crescendo" that inspired much of the song.
