    Tomato and Chilli Growing 2014

    We've had loads in our garden, have decimated wife's carrots and broccoli. We went out the other evening with a bucket of salt water and picked up about 100. I covered it (in case any of them tried to make a break) but forgot about it and when I remembered, it bloody stank. Put it down the...

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    Whilst the sentences are quite severe, I can see the justification; The judge said there were 55000 "people hours" lost due to the delays. At minimum wage that's a cost to people and businesses of over £600000. If they had conspired to commit over half a million pounds of criminal damage, then a...

    [Politics] Brexit - Deal we have or Rejoin CU/SM

    The first thing we have to do is to make them realise they've ben conned. At the moment a lot of Brexiters still think it'll come good and, no matter how mush the evidence stacks up, we're better off out of it. I know a bloke who, 15 years ago, couldn't give a hoot about Europe; now he is a...

    I immediately thought of James Ward Prowse and his hugely enjoyable goal celebrations.

    [Technology] Hearing aids

    That's very odd, the majority of hearing aid users are elderly. It contrasts with East Sussex (who support me). "If you are over 55 years of age you can be referred by your General Practitioner (GP) to be seen by the audiology team. Please discuss this with your GP. If you are under 55 years...

    [Technology] Hearing aids

    Get NHS issue hearing aids first and see if they fit your needs before spending anything. Also be sceptical of what private providers will promise you.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    That is a thing of beauty. I very nearly bought a 3.0 many years ago but I plumped for a Renault 18 Turbo instead.

    [Football] England ticket question

    Went to Torquay last year and the row in front had a family sat in five seats. Couple turned up and said "Excuse me, you're in our seats". When the family checked they were in the seats they'd bought, which were the couples' ST seats. Stewards were baffled but fortunately there were quite a few...

    [Football] What’s the most exited you have been for a football match in the 21st century? (or any century for that matter)

    1980. Went to the William IV (or Volunteer, can't remember which) aged 17 with two mates. One of them was 17 and the other had just turned 18. The barmaid asked my 18 year old mate for ID and, rather than show her his driving license, he launched into a tirade about being able to tell peoples...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    But (and it's a big but) if new cars were lighter and had a lot less safety features, people would be more likely to drive them carefully.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    So, the new (electric) Ford Capri. £48000: Or.... Mint condition (proper) Capri £17250 : The latter leaves you with £30k for petrol and repairs. (I don't have spare cash to buy either, sadly, but if I did, it would be the bottom one because I still have a living soul.

    [Finance] ******** The Scam Thread *********

    About 10 years ago I used to be very active on 419eater and actively baited scammers. I had several trophies including getting a bunch of them to send me a flag to my own design (wan't good enough for them to be awarded the Rolexes though) and sent a couple of lads on safari from Lagos to...

    [Finance] ******** The Scam Thread *********

    Mrs H got scammed today. She went to the chemist to pick up some pills and there's a ringgo machine outside. It said you have to download the app so she did a search for "ringgo app" and clicked on the download button. It asked for email to register then asked for CC details which she put in...

    [Help] BT Fibre - rubbish router

    You *shouldn't* need repeaters in a flat. What you're problem may be, as others have said, is the channel. For example, your router is in the front of the house, does a channel scan and picks ch10 as there's little or nothing on it. In the bedroom, there is interference on channel 10 from a...
