Bob, that was my point. The dividing line is Watford Gap, not Watford (the “normal” Watford), and it’s a good deal further north.

[Jason]

Watford or Watford Gap? Round here the dividing line always used to be stated as Watford Gap (it’s nowhere near Watford).

Yes, the idea is that you can use the tablet in areas not covered by Wi-Fi, if you have a data plan with a phone company (could be PAYG). It’s not intended for standard calls (Internet-based calls will work, as PM says).

Google just won some anti-monopoly case regarding maps. Maybe this is the company’s way of celebrating…

I remember when it was £100 for 4 MB.

That is not a typo.

You can buy a genuine Windows 10 licence on eBay for around a tenner or so. Many of us have done just that, without problems.

The original Hudl is easy to get into, and a new charger board, with USB port, costs a couple of quid. It’s a fifteen-minute job. Do a Google and you’ll soon find a tutorial.

You’re not alone.

Wow! Why on earth didn’t I think of that? I’ve been struggling for months by doing everything on my mobile! Such a simple solution. Thanks a million for this. Just installed it and already using it. It’s helped me no end. 🙂

No, she did Tubular Bells.

You sure it’s not overheating?

If the OCZ SSD is pre-Toshiba, I’d get rid of it even it’s not the cause of the problem (and it could well be).

[Jason]

It’s not profitable. Not at all. Don’t do it. Waste of time. 😉

Could well have been me if it wasn’t for the Birmingham bit. As you say, close, but not Burton.

I know two people who have gone there — one is still there, in the second year. He’s a bright guy, with good grades, and actively chose to go there. He has no complaints. He’s doing computer science, though, so his experience may not be comparable to that of someone doing languages. Still, from my slender knowledge, I would have no serious concerns about the place. It’s a good, solid university, mid-table or better.

Next time, order from your friendly eBay arbitrage seller. 😉

Me, too, but it seems it may be regional. I wish native British people would learn the skills and then all the foreigners could be sent home.

(Satire.)

[Jason]

Not been there. I’ve been to Little India, though — a restaurant in Staffordshire. Bangladeshi. Maybe it’s a regional thing. I asked at one restaurant and they said it was very common. A marketing thing, because no-one says, “I’m going for a Bangladeshi”. Personally, I’d rather they were accurate and took pride in their origins, but it’s become clear to me in the last year that my views are very much in the minority and I’m usually best just keeping quiet and pretending to be an idiot.

[Jason]

I didn’t need anything, but my customers did!

A tandoor. 🙂

Almost all “Indian” restaurants round here — and maybe in the whole country — are Bangladeshi, not Indian at all.
