        Been behind the bar all day as we had a 50th on. I’ve not stopped sweating since about 11am. It’s all but over now and I’m sat outside still hot and sticky.

        Far too hot.

          As as I know all current providers of 5g are using huawei chips, and the recevers are defo huawei made.

          They are the only only oem that can do both ends arm. That is why America want to slow its release. As 5g is going to take over alot of wired Internet. Meaning it a Chinese company will have the Internet tied up, basically taking control away form America.

          That is the reson America are kicking up so much of a fuss.

            Thanks Bob, I have this strange rule, I don’t want want to meet or read anthyng about any “hero’s” of mines. Its why I avoid alot of the sit down dinners we get invited to. My lad (just gone Oz to live) wousl always take my place.

            I have little interest in them at a human level. Too scared they will be dicks.

              I’m not giving trump any credit. If anything its thd oppersite. Working on the advice of his security people, they are saying we will lose assess to spying if this Chinese company get a match on us. So it’s span as Chinese can possible spy on you…. Not hauwei have a technology that stops us spying on you

              Also trump can play the bring it home and uses American companies and workforce intesd of having to bend to the Chinese companies.

              Leaving out huawei run the back bone of almost evey comtery, and have done for about ten years.

              It’s all BS from amaeics, to stop them being in the dark when it comes to spying. I said it the day this story first broke about a year ago, and noting has changed my mind. If anything its strnghend my resolve.

              One thing I will give credit for is how good the pr machines in both US and UK work, alot now believe the BS that has been pumped out over the last 12 months. Even though there is zero evedence to back up trumps claims. By trumps I mean the people pulling his strings.

                I’m not a fan of sports bios but this is on the wife’s lists.

                I like PC and he always comes a cross as a nice guy and funny. The past 12 months he has been doing alot of shows and pod casts, he actually hots his own, it’s on the iplayer/BBC. Iirc it’s called Nice touch for a big lad. I’ve not listened to it, but heard good reviews.

                  Every time I post a reply, my last pass app asks me do I want to update the password too. Been doing it for ages. I just ignore it.

                    Obama ram saying he would stop the drone strikes that Bush and Blair was doing on a weekly basis, two years later he was doing over one a day.

                    There is other issue with his tenure to, he failed all over the shop. His last innings was a disaster too, but mainly cos he didn’t have a majority, cos the Democrats had been pushed out pebecause they had go too far left, that for left they was almost right wing tjinging on left issues. Ie militant on Liberal issues.

                    Which I don’t have to point out how ironic thst sentence is. But is the main reason trump could stir up the support he needed.

                    I’m no trump fan BTW, but Obama failed the coloured folk which he lent upon to get in, and he failed on most of his promises. Never mind making jokes about drone strikes in public.

                    Getmo was never closed, and Obama care is a mess, it actually costs the poor more now them the medicare it replaced. A lot more.

                    One thing he did have was a good personality. That’s it. He was just another lying politition. Just just like the new fella. For all the hate trump gets he will end up with a second term in 2020. He is still polling well in a lot of the big swing states. Plus the democts are very much in the same state as our own labour party. As much as many of the  the republicans don’t like trump, they won’t vote demo, and he still has the religious right due to his high court appointments . Not a good thing for the nation (imo), but a good thing for trumps future.

                        Vodafone are joining the party. Prices are more than 3 and the cost depends on download speed. Hopefully it’s viable for me, ordered a free SIM to check what the coverage is actually like. Virgin are trying to jack my bill up again so they can whistle. I tried to contact them yesterday for 3 hours, couldn’t get a response on the chat facility and the music when on hold makes calling a very painful and annoying business. So I’ve complained to them. Had enough, just want shot of them now.

                         

                        Many years ago u was calling bt to move my BB from wanadoo to BT, it took me that long to get hold of BT, when I did I cancelled my phone line and ended up moving everything to talk talk.

                            My android watch, was a bit of a pita to set up. (fossil explorer), turns out I don’t need the fosil app installed. Which made it far easier a set up.

                              I think it looks nice in the ad photo, however the photo in the review section isn’t so flattering.

                                This is the only place I’ve heard the cure not get panned for their performance. I didn’t see a moment of the weekend, but haven’t heard many good reviews of any of the classic acts.

                                  That seems like a totally BS test. I’d take that with a pinch of salt. Given its so lacing in any substance, I’ll be more interested to see if this is just a one off story or the (bad) start of something bigger.

                                  Time will tell, but if I see scare stories popping up referencing this study, well know its been leaked for a reason.

                                    At sub 30 quid, it was a “no think” purchase, but art 54, I’ll pass untill I was a use for one.

                                    I’ll admit, it’s a lot of kit for the cash, but still too much for a ‘why not’ purchase.

                                      Started off today hot and hazy, got home about 1pm and fell sleep woke up at 3pm to a gray sky and a cool breeze. Must off been almost a 20 degree drop in temp and the humidity is all but gone.

                                      It’s been very humid here since Monday, to the point the glasses in my pub was refusing to dry Monday and Tuesday, no matter what tricks I tried. Not good at all. All the local was on a bring you glass back policy otherwise they was getting dead lager. No something they will put up with.

                                      Not ment to refill glasses anymore, some health and safety rule, but needs must.

                                            I did (and still do but I rearly see it) get spam calls on my mobile. I put it down to the age of my number. Had it since the late 90s, so it’s probably on every list going by now.

                                            Truecallers hit rate is excellent. It was Teh default dialler on the 1+1, and it was integrated seeamlessly. I’ve used it ever since. It is now pranaly as seemless as it was on the plus 1 now, but I recall the app being a bit more cluncy on the phone after my one plus.

                                            I wouldn’t use another dialer now. Don’t have phones plugged into my landlines, so have no need for the box. But if I did I’d defo have some spam system set up.
