Get rid of all the football threads, they bore the tits off me. On a serious note, more robust policing of threads that get personal (seems to crop up a bit on politics threads where some people play the man not the ball).

On Pride day I was going from Eastbourne to Shoreham to meet some mates and I had to go round and out and back. Somehow I ended up in the exit lane and had to go through the (open) exit barrier. I assumed the system was just in place for Pride but it sounds like a right ballache now. As for...

Did you make it to Switzerland or get returned to your Stalag ?

Before you weigh out your hard-earned .... from https://www.lightningfibre.co.uk/support : Step 1: Press and hold the reset button on the back of the extender for 5 or so seconds until the power LED flashes and the extender reboots. ‍ Step 2: Restart the router. ‍ Step 3: Download the...

Next step, set the extender up properly. What make/model is it ?

Out of the box an extender will have a separate SSID; for example if your router SSID is "HomeRouter" the extender will be "HomeRouter_EXT". A mesh network will have the same SSID for all the nodes and will hand off between them as needed. You can (as I have for my workshop/garden) use a...

What service do you get buffering on ? just one or all of them ? I'm with LF (150mb - cheapskate) and I don't have any buffering but then both my "big" tellies, Apple TV box, Kodi box and PVR are hardwired. I can watch a 4k youtube stream without issue Can you put in a temporary cable to see...

At work an oft-quoted mantra was "Radio has no place in a fixed network". It should be the absolute last resort. All these wi-fi mesh systems (and some of them are ok) are trading ease of installation for reliability. You can, you just don't want the aggro. I have a repeater network for the...

Yep. My mother-in-law squirreled away money in retirement; she had twice as much coming in as going out. Aged 83 she was sitting in a care home bemoaning all the things she hadn't done and place's she'd like to have seen. When she died my wife's share of her estate was enough to pay our mortgage...

The most important thing, in my opinion, is to manage your money to ensure income and expenditure are balanced. You also need to think in terms of phases of retirement. My view of it is that there are several stages to retired life : 1. First stage (retirement until State Pension Age): you've...

Speaking from experience of sentencing... If you've got the resources to employ a decent solicitor/barrister you're going to get your case put in the best possible way. Nothing against duty solicitors and legal aid per se, but there is a range of talent and by "going private" you're getting...

The judge issued a warrant but ordered it not be carried out until October "to allow the activist time to indicate that he would attend the next hearing voluntarily, or to apply to “set aside” the warrant.". Every warrant I've issued is either "backed for bail", meaning the police knock them up...

I'm 99% sure it's Wednesday. The stripes are too narrow to be Brighton or Huddersfield and those bits on the sleeves look like the SW shirt.

There's only so many times she can use that excuse though. Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) the court is going to get tired of these protestations and promises to change "for Harvey's sake" and take the view that custody is the only option. It's actually Harvey that I feel sorry for, he seems...

There's a test, in law, that is referred to as "The man on the Clapham omnibus", and it refers to what would the ordinary man in the street do if in a situation. I would think that, under that test, most people, if sent an obscene image involving children, would report it to the police as most...

Oh please..... As excuses go, that's up there with a case where the defendant's solicitor said "I am advised" (whenever a solicitor/barrister says "I am advised" what they actually mean is "You know, they know and I know it's bollocks but that's what they're claiming") "that my client suffers...

The problem with banning knives is that everyone has some in their kitchen so it's terribly difficult to define what to ban; ISTR that under the last government's initial proposals many kitchen knives would have been banned. Another problem is that it's quite easy to make a knife if you have a...

Refuse to stand aside, stating "I have apologised and I consider the matter closed."

The next Tory leader isn't likely to be PM; it'll probably be the next but one (maybe next but two) and they all know that. The next Tory PM might not even be an MP yet. Those with ambition, and relative youth, will be eying up the leadership after the next election. Of the current crop I could...

Polar Express is the big one, goes 12500km around the north and east. Better one to cut would be Kingisepp-Kaliningrad System which links the oblast with the rest of Russia. However I doubt that chopping either would have a significant effect compared to cutting transatlantic links...
