City Fibre / Vodaphone came today - all done within 45 minutes.

Speed's immediately 450 Mbps at the router and I hope to see that improve a bit over the next few weeks while it settles in. Already 18 times faster for £12 less per month. Fingers crossed it'll remain a good service

Edit - 550 now...

Ballsy by Putin Bombing Kiev while the UN Secretary General was there on a visit.

Not near but still, sends a Fuck You UN message

Very good…

THE upgrade when I was a BMX bandit as a kid was a brake cable assembly which had a wax ‘sleeve’ between the cable and the housing. Can’t remember what they were called though. Superglide probably or some such

3 arteries with no cross-linking between them so if one blocks, there is no redundancy in the system.

Saw this today - made me chuckle...

Caprisun Drinks

Cans were key open, then can opener, now ring pulls. Were tin, now aluminium etc…

A bit niche but the Baker Canvas Tent has been in use since the mid 1800's without any change to the design. Similarly the Vango Force 10 since the 60's and the North Face VE25 from the 80's. The pinnacle of their respective designs: Baker - Campfire Tent Vango - Ridge Tent North Face - Geodesic Dome

Pencil Sharpener??

I need some fucking rain!!! I moved into the new house last September so not much to be done with the grass but cut it and leave it for winter. About 6 or 7 weeks ago I aerated it, put down some lawn treatment and started watering it. Watered it 2 or 2 times to dissolve the treatment. It hasn’t rain...

Russel Crow would have to change the name of his band to "9.144 Odd Meters of Grunts"

If Ireland can switch to Km's and Kph, literally anyone can, including the Americans.

Fury A feelgood film this isn't... :shock: Christ it's miserable and bleak, even for a War film. Does a really good job at portraying the realities of Tank Warfare though but I thought the scene with the eggs dinner with the two women was a bit odd and contrived - a bit like the French Plantation S...

Ah no I can see the logic mate..,

6 months on a decent day rate in parallel with a salary elsewhere could get you well on your way to a nice car or a deposit on a house etc.

Just think our Beany deserves the ‘other’ benefits of moving…

I think you’re right to make a clean break Beany, no matter how much money might be on the table. a. You’re moving Jobs to get a life back and not be on call, 24/7. Why undo this by working 7 days per week b. Pound to a penny, they’ll want you to coach a junior to be as effective as a seasoned pro w...
