Re: Full Fibre

Switched just over a month ago to IDNet's Ultrafast 300 - £45/mo which is the same as we were paying for normal (slow) broadband beforehand. Getting about 70/50 on a 2.4GHz wifi connection or 150/50 on a 5GHz connection. We've found it much better for work as we often both work at home, with the wif...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Under the new priority system pedestrians always have right of way. The red man signal for pedestrians merely alerts them to the fact they should be more cautious. Technically under the new system traffic lights for pedestrians and pedestrian crossings are almost irrelevant as a pedestrian stepping...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

That's as much disabled guy's fault really - he shouldn't be crossing on a red man signal should he? He clearly just thought "fuck the cyclist I'm going for it"

By the way, have Autotrader removed the feature that compares the price of the car you're looking at with others with similar mileage and also I can't find the price history anymore?
They've tried. But it still works for me on Firefox

Oh yeah and the rear wash doesn't work on the 135i, and apparently checking the motors is a wheel off, inner arch out, entire wing off job.

Fra Eng game was great to watch. England threw it away though - with 4mins left on the clock why would you kick it to the opposition when you're ahead but only by 1pt?

I was worried it might be something like that. Not least as I have no fucking clue what that is :lol: Anyway, it was much more straightforward. It just needed to be used. Phoned the parents on it last night, wondering if using it for more than just a quick "does it dial through to my mobile&quo...

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

I wouldn't bother with an outdoor swimming pool here, let alone Ireland! Quite Mind, I'm not really a fan of these sorts of places. They might look great on Insta, or on screen when they've been rented out for filming purposes, but they have zero appeal to me as a place to live. Was interesting las...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Had the pulleys done on the 330 yesterday. Tensioner and idler, along with new belt obvs, and also an oil service. 18years and 136k on the original pulleys and they still weren't in too bad condition. Tensioner one is a bit noisy an the idler one a bit gritty feeling, but the main reason for replaci...

Re: The (mainly city-focussed) anti-car movement

It's really not difficult to understand his point is it? Cycling UK is a charity setup to inspire people to take up cycling, "to fight climate change" (selectively quoted by me). One can therefore easily infer that their main focus or raison d'etre is centred on getting the general populou...

And that 40yd reverse pass from Le Garrec...! I was busy all weekend, so games watched properly = 0. I did however turn on the tellybox and find that game on - about 20secs before that pass was made.

Anyone watch the Wal v Fra match? Was brilliant for the neutral - tit for tat for much of the game, but France prevailed in the end. Lots of young talent on the field from both sides as well (as also in the Eng team) so the future looks bright. And that 40yd reverse pass from Le Garrec...! https://w...
