OV9

Longer update, but what the hell, everyone loves dog pictures right? First guide dog puppy Ben is now fully qualified and is looking after a man in Belfast. We got sent this "graduation" picture of him. http://www.runyabam.com/downloads/clemfandango/dugs/bengrad.jpg Second dog Jet is going...

And yet Piers Morgan still lives.

How is that fair?

Someone's just put up a 15 minute gameplay vid on Youtube (insanely irritating commentary) and the Edinburgh stuff looks insanely good. Although I still wish they'd remake Project Gotham.

Empire have just done one (now two) spoiler special podcasts with Christopher McQuarrie about MI:Fallout which make for fascinating listening about the process, things they cut and everything else about the movie basically. The first one clocks in at just under 3 hours long and its great to hear an ...

They've just added the Innsbruck courses in to Zwift - as someone who isn't a cyclist, I made the mistake of picking one of those course to do on a rest day yesterday - by the time I finished I'd have been more dry if I'd sat in a bath for an hour.

We put cat6 in a couple of years back and its well worth doing imho. I was put off home plugs by some of the reviews and wifi is never as reliable as it should be in terms of coverage, although some of the new mesh setups look really good.

The iPhone X is my favourite iPhone they've done, by some distance. TouchID seems positively primitive when you go back to it.

A Quiet Place - really enjoyable horror(?)/sci-fi dystopian thriller about a family trying to stay alive on an earth which has been invaded by deadly creatures who hunt by sound. Really interesting idea, very well executed and for once the main leads (for the most part) behave very logically and do...

I’m going to invest in something smart for the winter and swallow my distaste for Zwift. I've got the Elite Direto direct drive and it's very good, although it is my first trainer so nothing to compare it with. Halfords quite often have offers on cycling gear and with a discount they were offering ...

8-) I remember seeing an M Compact in BMW Magazine about 15 years ago, but it was one of the tuner specials. Was either Hartge or Racing Dynamics. Never knew there was an official M Compact. I’m sure I remember one which was done in army green colour I saw at a local dealer about 20 years ago. Same...

Hosting wise we've been using VIdahost (now Tsohost) for years and they've been brilliant - top notch customer service, good pricing and really, really good technical support.

Backup your phone.... Wipe it and set it up as a new phone.... See if issue is still there. If issue is gone, you can either restore your backup and see if that works (depends where the software issue is). Or just reinstall apps and content which is a PITA but that's life. If issue remains after a f...

Apple tech people are still just tech people who have to follow scripts, run certain tests in a certain order to diagnose faults in order to offer suggestions and/or replacements Its just the same as IT always has been, except now, nearly every adult has an incredibly complex, powerful handheld devi...

The genius is suggesting a new battery (why ? It charges and hold a charge and the diagnostic has it running at 89%) or doing a full restore as a brand new phone (which I don't want to try unless I have to as it'll take a age to re-download 100GB of music) anyone come across similar - any suggestio...

We've bought a few for the races after years of hiring them, but as has been mentioned, best bet would be to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about to understand how powerful a model you'll actually need in the real world. My limited experience running a variety of stuff off them makes...

Have started Lost In Space but after a few episodes I'm finding the whole thing a bit, "twee" for want of a better word. A lot of the jeopardy also seems very manufactured in a very unimaginative way. And already some of the stupidity of the characters is doing my nut. Does it get any bett...

I've got no issue with slowburners normally but Westworld really didn't get under my skin at all. Odd because it should be right up my street. I'll give it another crack at some point. My reaction was the same as yours at first, then it just clicked with me and I couldn't get enough. Part of the pr...

Westworld is just incredible, that latest episode was just wonderful television. I really, really need to download season 1 and watch it all again as there’s just so much going on. One thing though, the native Americans “painting” themselves white, was that an actual historical thing that happened a...

I saw a light blue Bentayga today. After marvelling at the size of its rear tyres I was then struck by what a hideous piece of tarted-up bling the air itself was. I shall assume the same observation would apply to the driver of said car, but boy does it just sum up everything that's wrong with "...

My son was showing me the trailer for this last night in a very excited fashion and I have to say it looks like being a bobby dazzler.
