      Don’t know if its still there, it was a small patch of scrub ground back then. You could always squeeze on their.

        I’ve never used a ubiquity router/setup, but isn’t the whole point is that it’s managed in the cloud then updated. So you have no need to personally manage the hardware?

        Just asking our of curiosity. I was going to go all fancy when my asus give up the ghost, but instead just went to curry’s and got a tp link job that’s better than the Asus it replaced. A quick and staigjt replacent, and I got rid of the white bt FTTC modem thing.

        What are them FTTC modem things called? Had it about 5 years and never knew. Always refers to it as the BT white box.

          I was just sent this by a friend. A list of all the euro myths the media has been drop feeding us anti EU propaganda for decades. Quite an amusing list.

            I reckon bit the uk and EU are just playing the game, and running the clock down. Both sides knowing we’ll eventually throw the towel in an stay.

            The government won’t take us into a no deal exit, and they shouldn’t. So it’s just a matter of running the clock down.

            There is no solution to Ireland border issue, and both parties know it. We can’t even be in WTO because of it. There seems no solution but to not paly. Quoting a favourite childhood film of mine.

              I just don’t think we are at that sarge of the lifm yet. I can see this being extended and the fun will keep on rolling.

              I now feel as I did a year ago. I’m not that bothered what we do, I just want us to do something. At least then we Dan chart a course.

              I don’t want leave, but I’ll take it over pergetory… As this is what we have atm.

                I literally zoned the brexit mess out now. Maybe in a couple of months my interest in it will return. It just gets boring going around in the same circles. Watching the government making fools of themselves doing very little.

                For about 4 days now I’ve not read or war he’d anything about it, as it just gets me annoyed. Same happened about a year ago, I took about 4 months of disinterest, then returned back to see not a lot had changed.

                  I watch his channel, have been subscribed for years. I remeber then he did this gap.

                  You’ll often see the meem around the Internet about ‘blinker fluid’, I’m sure it’s this video that spawned it.

                    My wisdom teeth didn’t decide to make a showing until I was 28, they are all now just about showing, and every 3 months or so, one will decide to grow a bit. It’s been over a decade now, and the little shits have all taken out their next door next door neighbours..

                    One oth them put pressure on its neighbour that put pressure on the root of the tooth next to it and it cracked the root, think like a snapping a chickens wish bone.

                    So I went from a rairly decent full set to loosing 5 rear Teath in ten years. Still have the usless wisdom teeth, they won’t take them out, but now there is nothing next to them, when they grow it no longer hurts.

                    You can’t tell they arnt there, and the rest of me teeth are fine for my age. And are whiter than before the wisdom teeth, do to packing in the fags. And latley I’ve packed in the coffee. I never ment to, bit had a serious bug early in Jan, realised I’d not had a cup for 7 days so decided to carrying it on. I’ve had two cups since.

                    I was a 10 plus cups a day, so I’ve had to really up my Vimto intake, which I’ve found the hard to remember. So I make 8 bottles each morning and have them on my desk. It’s quite hard to drink just 4 lires a day I’ve found. But feel better or it.

                    Ive also got the wife of coke (the drink), but had to by her a britta filer. Mainly cos the doc told her she was drinking to much of the stuff. I prefers Pepsi, as coke gives me heart burn.

                          My names Duke and I’ve Been clean of sky for probably 6 years. Though for my sins, I still sub to the Now TV enterainment package for £7pm an also the  now tv sports mobile pakage, which is £5 pm for the premier league channel. I’ll pause that in May until the the season starts again.

                          So I’m not fully clean of sky yet. But £13pm sure beats the £116pm my pacagke was at peak sky addiction.

                          I will try harder before out next meeting.

                            Seen this on twit the other day. Aparantly all laptops they do that has a USB C is affected. The Airs have the same cable but it’s slighty longer and positions slightly different.

                            Though the airs a 6 months newer than the Pros, so they are waiting to see if they start showing the same effects.

                            The main issue is in the aim of thinness, the cable is built into the panel, so it’s a new screen replacment to five this flacky arse cable.

                            Just don’t touch any apple products. I’m actually coming around to the Mac Sheep that are actually Steve Jobs deciples. The ones that say it was great before he left. I’ll disagree with it was all great before hand, but I don’t see a single apple product that is actually good.

                            All there stuff is buatiful, the air is amazing looking and they feel so amazing. However that’s all you get superficial shine crap.

                              I’m all for better screens but stop making them thinner, I just want the old think pad keyboards.

                              I was paling with a new TP Carbaon last week, and it was great, a very nice keyboard compared to anything mac and also better than the dell xps 13, but still not in the league as the older ones. When my x220 isn’t up to it, I don’t know where I’ll go.

                              Probably xps tbh, I had the xps1330 which was great, but in 2006 its 2.6Ghz C2d and discreet gfx gave it about a 50min battery. So I only used it for about 6 months, before I found my TP X200t which got 8h with the UL s9400 (iirc) cpu, then that was amazing. But super pricey at rep was £1700. Which also was amazing in a bad way.

                              Now only gaming laptops are measured in minuets, and anything 1080p or above is fine for me, so it all comes down to keyboard and I’d like a ‘nub’. After 12 years on the nub, I can’t do track pads well. Also they are really inefficient compared to a nub.

                                Id imagine they would like that, and offer it as a solution for the back stop. Wall Liverpool out of the UK adn well stay on the EU.

                                Though please wait till after May. We need one premier league win before we join the french or Spanish league. I suspect we wousl clean up in both.

                                  Especally as liverpool voted to remain! Most would rather be European than English anyhow.

                                  Nothing against the country and the people, more the hate the government, for a few good reasons.

                                      The wife starting bleeding last weekend, we went A&E about limch time about 9pm we just left, as the start of the drinks was coming in and we was pissed off, and she in agony. We decided she ehoudk be better in pain in bed than in a chair in A&E. They had seen us after about 4 hours, but just left us sat in a cubicle.

                                      We had an appointment on Monday at the Cancer ward, so we bailed. When we told them on the Monday the doc hit the roof, he was more pissed than we was. He had her  heckled over and booked in at Wrexham for the next day. Which was yesterday.

                                      It can be hard, but it’s now just what it is. Her first bout was rough, and she cut it close. So we are sort of more relaxed about things now (if own can be in this situation). It’s ok, here we go again, what will be will be.

                                        Thanks Richard. It’s a case of getting on with it, as there isnt really another option.

                                        In regards to talking with people, I try not to. For the simple fact we have now been on this roller-coaster for 8 years now, on and off. Over 3 different sittings. The first time round we met a few nice people, Especally the older lot are always wlvery nice, but the shit bit is, alot of people don’t make it. So I personly don’t try to stirke up relationships.

                                        Also I have a fear of hospitals and doctors waiting rooms. Someting I had to get over yeses ago, but I hate the places. I can’t explain what it is about the places, but I can only explain it as a closteaphobic type feeling sat in them. I’m not closteaphobic is any way, nor highs or even open spaces (shit scared of snakes). So in not at peak mean in hospitals.

                                        She is ok, we had some bad news in November, and we are working thought it, neeec the little shit to shrik a tad and it can be removed (touch wood), so all the chemo and radiation is in full swing. Though yesterday, the wife needed a minor opp as the growth had teared a section of bowel, so how, last week.

                                        She is sure feeling it today. They gave her 2 lots of chemo too yesterday, so she has 2 days off untill Friday when they will chech their handy work and giver her another top up.

                                        As I started this, just keep going forward, there isn’t another option.

                                        Hope all with ills are feeling better, or at least can see a little light. (the good kind of light lol)

                                        In other news, we got a new 3 piece suite while we was at the ozzy, which is good news as my eldest lad done the heavy work of manovering it all aroumd while we was out.

                                        So swings and roundabouts to my day. I still need to shift the old one though ?

                                          Nice little video bob, I’d like to see him speak for ten mins on the subject. He does have that Shankly socalist side to him. He is a perfect fit for liverpool in so many ways.

                                          Ive never seen a man since Hitler that can control a room with just his presents.

                                          I must admit, with his fix foot plus stature, an blond hair, when he is going mad in the dug out, I often look over and can see him riding on the back of a panza barking order out.

                                          He is meant to be exteamly nice behind closed doors, untill he isn’t.

                                            @bob if you want your head exploading further, read the document below titled ‘Rebuilding Americas Defences’ produced by ‘the project for the new amerian centery’,(a real bad organisation in the usa, published in September 2000 (on year before 9/11)

                                            The whoes who of Bush Jr inner circle, oh and Jed wrote it.

                                            The overview is, they need to destanel the middle east to get a foothold in it, bit to do that they would need a “pearl harbor, type sinario on American soil”. I kid you not

                                            That link is linked to my person drive so its safe.

                                            There is a well respected ex general that is on record saiunf in 2001 he seem  7 year plan to take down Iraq, yeman, afghan, lynia, Sryia and a counsel of othersmi think 7 in total. This was when we was 10 days after 9/11 se seen this

                                            Watch the video, then read the leaked document. But be careful as this is one rabbit hole that once you peak in you just have to follow it.

                                            Your next step is to looo up ‘the project for a new American century’ they are a bad group

                                             

                                            On a side note, unrelated, bit also repeated to American police shifts.
