Re: Wiper blades

I'll still say PIAA super silicon are the best wipers I've had. Last for years, give the screen a hydrophobic coating, nary a squeak nor squeal, even in the depths of winter. Need to find them in larger sizes for the Mondeo. Believe they do them, just not looked hard enough as yet. Not entirely happ...

Hush now.

Its reasonably easy to stop most of it
It's easy to turn off OK Google detection. However, does that stop it targeting ads based on background voice recognition?

Re: It's the weekend

Nice end to the weekend - recently the better halves cat (Jimmy) went for a long walk and never came back, some six weeks ago now. :cry: Today, took the missus to a foster cat home to have a look at a lovely, chilled out one year old ex stray. So hopefully she will have fun kitty times again soon. J...

Re: What's wrong with yours?

I think the Mondeo needs the aircon regassing, and a new DMF would do it no harm but it far from needs one.

And the cd changer in the boot can be a bit flaky (they all do that sir)

Otherwise, he says, tempting fate, it's bob on.

Re: It's the weekend

In an interesting twist to the day, a colleague in the office was arrested today, rumour mill suggests for child sex offences.

On the flipside, he had a psycho ex, so I'm not making assumptions.

So that's odd, at best.

Re: Snack Idea

In here, one chap gets a 'protien blast' from one of our regular friday lunchtime takeaways, which is lamb chops, chicken, etc in a nice spicy coating.

He then gets chilli sauce, and a naan.

This is all combined into the greatest poor mans burrito ever seen.

And no, it's not me.

Re: ....and we're back as OV9

If it were pared back to line drawings/posterised that'd kinda work.

Honestly though, just a reasonable font, flipped, would work just as well and require a lot less fiddling on behalf of whomever does it.

Re: Book review thread

Honestly, most stuff by Stephenson is well worth a look.

Anathem is a bit dense, but very satisfying.

If ever a book rewarded persistence, that's the one.
Yup, that's definitely worth it.

The whole series (The Baroque Cycle, IIRC?) is very readable and a lot of fun.

Re: Decent Recent TV

The Expanse just started its third series and is again looking excellent. Ah, good call. Must check this out, I'd forgotten it was back on!

I posted this on the FB thread, but it bears repeating here: on the subject of the OV9 logo, it probably ought to be freshly drawn rather than blatantly nicked and reversed.
