OV9

To paraphrase Churchill: in the morning I shall be sober, but you shall all still be doing sterling work. Brandy and college port, a toxic combination. Today has been something of a struggle, in spite of a morning admin-only session. I'm picturing Newt with a pair of pants on his head telling his mi...

Just had a drink or two and I think you are all doing sterling work here.

What a back catalogue. The BX is still a massive favourite of mine. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/cars/2022/04/29/citroen-bx-34_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqiD6A-U5shWaIjLXdXP2QnJY7jtpHMH2ZfbdfrGpg528.jpg?imwidth=680 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/cars/2022/04/29/citroen-bx-36_trans_NvBQzQN...

Test driving the demo GTS was great. It's not an intimidating thing; main take-aways were that I prefer a leather not alcantara steering wheel (at first I really disliked the alcantara wheel, partly because he'd turned the wheel heating on); that it feels incredibly rigid and while the suspension i...

I wouldn't go mahoosive on a house to be honest. something modern with 7 or 8 bedrooms (so the whole family can stay) would be ideal with a few different reception rooms, home cinema, Gym and nice outdoor space, outdoor kitchen for BBQ'ing etc Something like this which is a few miles away... https:...

Would do. Bit of a Jobbo interior on the billiard room though.

Big house in country, with attendant staff (housekeeping, groundkeeping, valet*). The purchasing would take time but start immediately. I would prioritise Yorkshire area but consider others, although a castle in Scotland would not be out of the question. Rebuild may be required, with planning suffic...

Mrs Newt and I use separate bathrooms because our house has two bathrooms so why wouldn't you. Anyway it looks like the toilet cistern in her bathroom has come away from the wall a little, I guess the screws not well seated and have slowly pulled out of the drywall. I'll get the builder back to fix ...

Not driving = sell. And… buy something else? That I also won't drive 8-) I'm a nightmare with cars. Good job I have an understanding wife. Have you thought about some kind of business case where you buy mildly borked vehicles, enjoy the process of fixing them, drive them a bit, then sell them on? F...

Not driving = sell.

And… buy something else?

I love the comments about the “speed” of issuing an enforcement notice after 6 months…

Had a similar experience. Why is it going up so much and so fast?

Ooh you can have goats cheese too.

OV9, the thrill of milking a goat...

Having flounced away from having to do anything code related about 6 months ago because "it's too hard" and it's "nerd stuff" I have now re-embraced it by using chatgpt or copilot to write simple R scripts for me. For the most part, it simplifies it right down, although it can't ...

As terrible an idea as the music they have inexplicably put it to. Is Craig David doing commercial work now?

True Detective - Series 4 concluded last night on a very satisfactory ending. It's been very good overall - I'd rate it second behind Series 1 but ahead of Series 3 and the, frankly pretty poor series 2. Very atmospheric, very claustrophobic, some great characters and performances (especially Boxer...

Lovely place Jobbo. Looking forward to the housewarming!

I LOVE MY BRICK

I work in a heart and lung hospital.
On the lung wards, ICD means “intercostal drain” (chest drain).
On the heart wards, ICD means “implantable cardioverter defibrillator”.
These are very different things.
It is unhelpful.
