It will be the turning off the analog copper network they are updating the network across the country. Should lead to better network and faster broadband speeds.

So that you have another bit of electronics to power in the home, instead of being powered by the central battery, which of course doesn't work when you have a power cut.

Ah, this Spain v Germany game is panning out much like the England v Slovakia game in the last round.

At least our choices are probably far better than what @Gravity Aided is stuck with.

Actually, probably not. Both main parties haven't a clue. Although I think Labour will have cause to regret doing so well. The next few years are going to be bad both fiscally & socially.

What could be worse than having to make a binary choice between a pathological liar and convicted felon or a well-meaning but rather doddery old fart? Maybe Kanye West will stand again...

Nah, love our political system or loathe it, at least we've got a range of choices on the ballot paper. And let's face it, whoever is in No 10 right now is always going to face an uphill battle.

I still think Larry the Cat would make the best Prime Minister.

Speaking of cats, I think I'd better feed mine, and then I had also better feed myself.

Haven't we been voting between pathological liars?

A look at the weather forecast and ebike made its pre GYS trip to Sainsbury's this evening. The showground already looking full of tents, parked caravans by the dozen and traffic management people in force despite a seeming lack of traffic beyond me and a dog walker. Earlier in the ride my first encounter for some time of a dog that must chase the cyclist.

I am now all DIY'd out - the last two items have been asembled over the course of the day and are now filled with clothing. My recycling bin is full of cardboard packaging from inside the boxes and I have 10 large empty cardboard boxes to either take to the recycling centre or try to cut up and fit in the recycling bin once it's been emptied next week. Plus whatever amount of packaging the bits being delivered on Saturday arrive in (at least these items should be simpler to put together).
Also destined for the recycling centre are the 4 drawers from the old wardrobe, the frontroom unit dismantled on Tuesday, two bookcases (I bit the bullet and threw out a load of old videos and trashy paperbacks) plus the coffee table, bedside unit & TV stand that are being replaced. And an old Calor gas portable heater - does anybody want to buy a couple of 15kg butane bottles with some gas still in each?
With the amount I've got to get rid of, I'm thinking of applying for a waste carriers licence.

the one going to man city

surely when we have 3 day week and power cuts they will not need to ?

I think some candles I found in a cupboard as part of this current clearout were purchased at the time of the 3 day weeks and power cuts back in the 70s just in case.

Larry's job is continuity.

Fabby supper of a jacket potato with an egg and cheese baked inside, and baked beans mixed with sweetcorn and jazzed up with the seasonings you put in a chilli (cumin, cinnamon, smoked paprika, black pepper, oregano, garlic and, well, of course, chilli!)
