+1 for Wilks – hands down the best place I have eaten in Brizzle.

+1 on the above – grease the bb cups before pressing the bearings in to avoid creaking. Agree that the stock bb30 bearings are rubbish though – I’ve just swapped mine for a pair of skf solid oil ones which should last a good few years.

Why not get a powerline system that has mesh Wi-Fi built in? Best of both worlds…

Another alternative would be the devolo “magic” powerline mesh Wi-Fi plugs – the internet connection gets routed over the electric cables but the solution has built in mesh Wi-Fi like the google and BT solutions:

Add a Bt whole home mesh system – costs £150 for 3 x nodes if you keep an eye out for deals and works extremely well. Also doesn’t require you to plug google into your home broadband.

A funnier interview is the one that pops up underneath that one in the YouTube video feed – it’s Magic Grandpa setting out his Brexit position:

Voxi is an MVNO owned by Vodafone – and yes, it’s the latter’s cr4p network that’s to blame.

In short Dyson has found the “simple” automotive industry is actually a lot harder to enter than they’d realised. Back to your ball wheelbarrow Dyson.

It will be quite ironic if the Ineos Grenadier lands up killing the New Defender in its home market.

He has zero connection with London so other than bagging the generous salary it’s hard to see what his motivation for running for office is.

Olly2097 – if your phones are android you can download and re-flash the firmware to the EE firmware at which point the Wi-Fi calling will work. On iPhones it doesn’t make a difference if they were bought from EE or Apple.

Have cold showers for a few weeks and see if the damp dissipates.

Each issue costs a bit more than a pint – it more time to read an issue than it takes to drink one. On that basis seems reasonable value to me.

Anyone swapped from a Phenom to a Henge or vice versa?

Generic drugs is a very difficult business to succeed in – it requires a relentless focus on reducing cost without compromising quality. It also requires pretty extensive long term capital investment and the recruitment and retention of a highly skilled workforce.

But anyway, this is an aside. The Labour policy essentially amounts to IP theft so the short term result would be that most pharma companies with R&D in the Uk would change their domicile to protect their IP and then offshore their R&D. The uk would be a massive loser all round – and that’s before the immediate job losses in the industry and the related job losses in research JVs etc.

Not quite buds but I can recommend the Tarah Pro in ear headphones from jaybird.
They are waterproof and have a (real world) 14-15 hour battery life.

Try and get power of attorney and also let their bank know to block any forex / large transactions.

20% less hours means that the NHS will need 40-50k more doctors in ten years time.

As it takes about that long to train a doctor from the point they enter uni Labour have just committed the NHS to a unprecedented disaster in patient wait times and clinical outcomes. Even if the capacity was there to train the extra numbers required there wouldn’t be enough time to supervise their work. Same with teachers, police, firefighters – and all of this will apparently not cost any more – which can only mean pay cuts all round.

The guy in the yellow t-shirt in that video is a complete dick for filming himself whilst driving.

Given he rides a bike for a living it can’t have escaped his notice the number of us that are hit, injured or worse by distracted drivers.

What a prize tool.

We tried it and were regularly getting half the speed of plusnet. They couldn’t fix it and said it must be a problem with the wires between the exchange and home even though it worked fine the day before migrating. In the end I gave up trying to get any sense out of them and went back to Plusnet.

One of my friends has just lost a parent – the first friend in my circle where I knew the parent as a kid.

Any tips for how to support a mate going through it?

We’re well overdue an automatic doubling of custodial sentences for any assaults or worse inflicted on frontline emergency service workers.

It’s the least we could do given the complete scum they now have to deal with on our behalf.

There’s a monthly fair usage limit on all 3 “unlimited” plans of 1 Terabyte which is quite amusing when you see other networks offering 40gb a month for the same cost.

Get yourself a paypal card machine (or similar) – cost is c£20 and then just take credit card payments whilst still on site.

The Spanish can teach us a thing or two..

Good Q MrSheen – often a combination of the two which makes it even more challenging!

PrinceJohn – that link you posted is pretty tenuous.

Philip May doesn’t have any involvement in investment decision making for the company he works for and he’s also not a director I.e. he’s just an employee.

So when the article says “his company” it is akin to saying that checkout staff at Sainsbury’s are company owners or saying that anyone who works for Lloyds (who buy and sell shares on behalf of customers) are arms dealers because some customers hold shares in BAE.

Chris Harris is starting to look like Keith Allen.

This thread is giving me a thirst.

Loved it

The thick dynaplug plugs would probably fix that on the first attempt. If one doesn’t work two jammed it certainly would. I normally chuck a bit of loctite in tubeless holes like that and it seems to work ok.

Tractive might be worth a look – clips on to a belt or collar roams across networks and also available with an extended battery. Works really well and the cost of 2 years data is about £80.

How about stilts?

It’s like listening to Fred Dibnah on a mountain bike.

The is very much business as usual for the Iranians – we shouldn’t forget their kidnapping of Royal Navy sailors a few years back, the stockpiling of explosives in London (link below) or their support for the likes of the Houthi rebels in Yemen, funding of Hamas in Palestine and (little known), their long standing support for Venezuela.

This is all pretty predictable tactics from a regime that needs to agitate conflict against the West in order to distract the overwhelmingly young and economically underemployed population from asking whether an Islamist regime is a good thing.

Job done!

I’ve made quite a big change over the last 6 months on ethical and health grounds:

– I now only eat veggie / vegan at work. Aside from the health benefits of eating loads more fruit and veg my main motivator is that a lot of in-house catering is halal and I won’t eat it on humane grounds (yes … I know, all slaughter is bad but why choose meat where they deliberately make it more distressing to the animals…)

– I only eat veggie when eating out at restaurants unless it’s free range non halal or organic – same reasons as above

– my red meat consumption is now down to 1 meal a week most weeks – and that’s organic lean meat where I’ve bought it from the local organic butchers. Typically it’s mince and I mix it up with two equal sized portions of quorn mince – tastes the same and it’s cheaper and healthier.

So out of 14 meals a week (don’t bother with breakfast):

– pretty much all the meat is organic
– I’m eating loads more veg
– I’m saving money by using more quorn
– the cost of buying organic is easily offset by the cost avoidance of meat every meal

As a parent I can only imagine the agony that her parents have now been suffering for the last however—many years.

That child snatchers operate in holiday areas doesn’t seem to be in dispute – this was only a few years ago:
