That situation with the guy from Marokopa could have some similarities to this.

@canefan no

Sky Sport now is only sport.

Team. Back in NZ and my parents pay $90 for sky 😳😳😳 which drops every night

Any suggested packages which get the rugby, trackside, uk tv, history etc and soho and don’t cost the amount? Fuck that seems steep to me

I'm all good. Thankfully I live in a boarding lodge in Mt Vic overlooking the Basin rtahre than Loafer's Lodge which catered for a rather different level of clientele. I've been working 7 days a week until very recently which is why I've been absent (that and falling out of love with rugby).

Really appreciate the concern.

As long as you’re still in love with cricket, I imagine the views of the basin would be magnificent.

Yeah, although the hedgerow has grown so much it obscures the view from our deck, but up on the second floor I am perfectly positioned at the southern end , around wide mid on. Still bitching mightily about makeweights like kuggeleijn being preferred to Boulty

Finished semi 2, and the final. Enjoyed it actually. Amazing how quickly a tune can earworm with just a second listen.

Still not as good as last year, though, which was a cracker.

@Tim She could make a video about washing clothes and I would watch. 😉

@taniwharugby Yes lots of people will be harrowed by this for life.

I cannot understand why these poor decisions were made. My only guess is over-familiarity meant that the risk was undervalued. Like people driving worse in their own neighbourhood or from a personal perspective doing dumb shit in my home DIY that I would never accept at work. But I don't short-cut when I have responsibility for others.

I have a soupcon of sympathy for those being deemed culpable, as they will have to live with this for the rest of their lives, but at least they have a rest of their lives.

Big box arrived with Starlink on it.

Too scared to open it!!

Is it a mission to set up?

So jealous, I want pics please. And do a speed test for us nerds.

Wouldn't be able to touch the fibre connections you get over there for speed, surely?

No it doesn’t but sits nicely in the gap between copper/wireless/cellular and fibre.
Comfortably capable of being a work horse for two working from home running concurrent teams meetings.
The modem/router that comes with it is much better quality than your usual ISP rubbish as well. I have it set up out in the paddock where I have the office/caravan but connect a TV to it in the house 40 metres away to stream sport.
Haven’t brought the Ethernet adapter so I can set up mesh yet.

@Tim Received an email from Latitude as I have a Gem Visa card for hire purchases (hardly ever use it). However, it appears I don't need to do anything, as they'll have an old version number of my driver licence. I signed up for the card in 2015, and replaced my licence in 2017 when it was due, so it'll have a different version number. I must say the email I received wasn't hugely clear.

@Kruse said in Microsoft edge:

@nostrildamus Hmmm... I'll look at Brave, hadn't heard of it before.

Basically Chrome with far less tracking and seems a little quicker (but have not tested). I suspect it doesn't tax the processor as much as Chrome, but again haven't tested.

Yeah - from some cursory research... like many of the new generation - all based on Chromium (even Edge is based on Chromium, ffs) - slightly less heavy than Chrome, with less of the tracking shit by default.
But once again - the classic axiom: if the 'product' is free... YOU are the product. So, gotta wonder how they're making their money. Perhaps via that BAT system, which looks intriguing?

not sure where to put this...but when was the last time you thought of Gene Hackman, 93 and still up and about

The French Connection certainly has an iconic car chase scene

I gotta add a couple of absolute pieces of shit from Pearl Jam

Wish List

And fucking Last Kiss

Just awful

Have searched my playlists for artists that meet the thread title and all I can come up with is a couple from a list where Paul Weller has provided songs (or collaborated with) other artists. He often hears a voice and thinks he has a song for it that he wont use himself. Neither of these are artists that I would listen to anything else of theirs.

Olly Murs - Let Me In
Gabrielle - Why

Plenty of 'one song' artists but I wouldn't say I don't really like them. They just had one song that I do like listening to and a bunch I could take or leave.
