1 x £25 – Right I’m off to the pub to spend it. Oh hang on …

Can anyone recommend an online seed shop or are they much of a muchness?

Ta.

I’m working my notice and leave at the end of May to start my own business. I think my timing could have been a little better. Oh well, luckily I can afford to take a few months off unpaid if I have to and start when we’re out the other side. Looks like I’ll be finally getting all those DIY jobs done in the house.

We’ve got BT Whole Home. Works well and we’ve connected a unit via ethernet cable to an outbuilding used as an office to extend WiFi out there.

Thanks for posting that. 👍😁

Caher: Has the money just disappeared from your account or is there some kind of fraudulent direct debit or payment?

Spotify 14

Itunes/Apple Music 3

Get a dog of your own?

No mention of DH in the ad so I’m out.

I was going to recommend a Pyronix system but see I’ve been beaten to it. I installed one last year in our house and out buildings.

Where’s that [Like] button when you need it? 🙂

I guess it’s not just security updates but updates to keep integration with Spotify, BBC etc. working. I like the idea posted somewhere above about a cheap bridge/connect type product which gets replaced now and then but you get to keep your more expensive speakers. That’s probably what I’ll look into if/when my Sonos Connect and Play5 stop working although I guess my Play1s will keep working a bit longer although I think I’d need a new Sonos Connect.

I built a table top control box with arcade joysticks and buttons to play old arcade games. It was a proof of concept project really but unfortunatly I haven’t got round to building the full arcade cabinet yet.

… as is that. It’s unlawful discrimination and you could be hauled up for it. If that’s an actual written company policy a tribunal would have you for breakfast.

From the personneltoday website:

Under current UK law, discrimination against employees or job applicants on grounds of sex, race, disability, sexual orientation or religious belief by employers is outlawed. However, there are no laws that directly prohibit discrimination against smokers.

The above is from 2004, however I’ve found other references from 2018 which still support this. I also remember reading an article a while ago where someone tried to sue their employer as they let her go when they found out she was a smoker when their job advert stated only non smokerts. She lost her case as the ruling was that the company could employ only non smokers.

Of course my info may be a little out of date so if the law has changed in the last couple of years then I’ll be happy to be corrected.

I’d take it to an Apple shop. I’m guessing the best chance would be to open it up and make sure all components are dry before switching it on?

We have a Humax and it’s great. However we haven’t used it to record anyting for at least 18 months as everything seems available on catch-up and can be streamed over broadband. In fact I don’t think we’ve even used it to watch live telly for about 18 months. We now use an Amazon Fire TV stick for all our viewing.

Great news. I think they could have finished it at season 4 as we know from watching Breaking Bad how it eventually turns out but I’m glad there’s another series.

A bit ramshackle but it does the job of keeping the wood dry and airy. I think it’s the photo angle/lens that makes it look like it’s leaning backwards as it’s upright in real life.

I’d love to do this but doubt I’ll be anywhere near fit and well enough by July. I’ll definitely put it in the diary for 2021 though.

£25 for me. That’s a good start to the year.

Are you still allowed to drive while your car is impounded if you have a 2nd car?

Sorry for you loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I’ve used http://www.boilerjuice.com on several occasions but have found my local firm offers similar or slightly cheaper prices.

I think you’re suposed to compare them to the shorts version at £250 and then think they’re far better value.

A very inspiring and lovely film. Makes me want to get out and ride. Thanks for posting it.

BT Whole Home here. No problems, it just works. I’ve also added a wired one to our outbuilding where we have an office to give us wifi out there.

I’ve tried a few and settled on Bavaria Original 0% which I buy from Asda. It’s only about £2.20 for 4 bottles.

What would happen if you left before the entire bonus was paid out over monthly installments? Would they pay you the remainder? Likewise if they made you redundant or sacked you or the company went under?

I’d take the bonus in one lump sum.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

I leave mine on auto. Sometimes fog confuses the car and it thinks it’s bright outside and doesn’t switch any lights on. I usually notice and switch them on manually but I guess a lot of people don’t think about lights anymore and just assume the car will sort it all out for them.

Another Hikvison and NVR user here. Not the cheapest but they work really well.

I only want to record motion not the whole 24/7 period

Why? Hard drives are cheap and I’ve read that stop/start recording might miss the bit you want. We leave ours running and recording 24/7. It’s very easy to whizz through the recording to find the bit you want to look at.

We’ve only needed it once when we lost our cat for 12 hours. We spotted which way he wandered off using the cctv recording and then found him trapped in a neighbours barn in that same direction.

Well done for getting it diagnosed and sorted in time and welcome to the club. 11 months today for me since I had my open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. I’m so glad chicks dig scars…

I’d say you’re right. If they don’t attend the team building then it’s a normal work day.

Anyone care to guess if evohome will be reduced in some Black Friday madness?

We have a large garden with lots of trees. I just leave the leaves until mowing season starts again next year.

RIP. I’ll ride in your memory next time I’m out on my Alpine.

Acording to Drac’s post that make me Generation X. How cool is that? It’s like I’m one of the X-Men or something.

I’m guessing he’s referring to Jamie’s Chicken Bastardo? It looks good from the photo.

It was on the Hot UK Deals website this morning and is now at the top of the hottest list so I expect they’ve been overwhelmed with orders.

3 or 4 years free now. We switched to Freesat but haven’t even used that in over a year. I can’t remember the last time time we watched live TV. We just watch catchup services and streaming services such as Netflix.
