Re: Which?

Looks like I'm one of two who would take the coin toss. You're looking at the difference between a nice house, vs never working again and your children never having to work either, if invested properly. That's worth a shot for me.

Re: Blocked at work

Looks like your proxy is doing HTTPS interception and that, for some reason, it doesn't support SNI correctly.

Re: The House Projects Thread

In all seriousness, that's how much a house like that _should_ cost. It's just that prices in the south particularly, have gone crazy. This. I have looked at stuff up to £1.5m in Worcestershire and there's a lot of optimistic pricing; I think this (on the same road, just done up by a builder) will ...

BTW, Deb is now mad at me as I showed her your place and she's upset about what we could get for our money in another part of the country. Said 'if you say we are moving I will pack tomorrow!'. Great.

Re: The Movie Thread

Finally finished watching Oppenheimer. Quite a film. Nolan keeps knocking it out the park, doesn't he? Apart from the slightly ambitious Tenet to blot his copybook, I've loved most of what he's done.

A worthy winner of multiple BAFTA gongs too... I wonder what we'll see next from him.

LOL, it's not a fucking turing test :lol: Not at all, but it’s certainly showing how pointless Captcha is..
