Rockets, beer and dyslexic people, sounds like a really fun way to die. Lol.
Just cos you can’t spell don’t mean your thick. In the 80s it meant you was thick. Though I was in mostly top classes, except for English, but also wasn’t bottom. Amazingly I was in top set for friggin French. I can’t write a word of it. I can read it enaotj to get along, and speak it (sort of) , find it hard to understand in mid France. May be a accent issue, but dam they speak quick. I can’t distinguish the end of one word to the start of the next. Probably lick a midlander trying to understand two scousers in mid flow. I did have a mate form Cumbria when in the forces, couldn’t understand a word he said. Sure he spoke a different language.
Back to rockets, if I had a garage maybe! but I know I’d only end up losing my figures eventually. So as much as it’s up my street, I probably wouldn’t.
The row of houses oppersite mine as a child, got burnt down when a lad a couple of years older than me (I was about 9), set fire to hiscdedoom, and took 3 of the 5 houses with it. Put me, and defo my mother, off chemistry sets.
Shame as my eldest loves it, and we (and he) didnt even know till his collage, and ended up doing it at uni, (drugs and dna, that’s the course and not the night life, tho I imagine it was also the night life) and just this week finished he’s final assessments as a trainee chemist with boots.
He is off to live in Aus in June, he got his dates last month. His mums happy and not, at the some time. I’m just happy for him. At least we got one right.
I disagree about not being united again. If we leave, we leave and us “remoaners” will have to accept it. Once the decision is finalised we will have other option than accept it and unite to make the best of it.
I’d hope the “brextremists” would do the same, if the plug is pulled.
And thirdly with thsve the mess of mays brexit. If that gets through we will all have to accept it.
Once whatever happens, it’s not worth arguing over it. It’s done we all move on.
But untill then, all sides have the right to air their views, and try and convince other that is the correct way to vote. That is politics after all.
I’d like than to ratify the next vote, unlike the last. 3 choice; Mays proposed exit*, full exit or remain part of the EU. Whatever is agreed on, so be it. Have it stamped into law, or whatever it needs to be. And just get on with it and move on.
It’s now tediously boring going over the same silly points. I think now everyone has picked a horse, and if they haven’t, they arnt going to now.
Almost everyone I Know now is on the remain side. Though my mate that manages alot of steal fixers around Manchester, says the sites eorkers are about 50 50 spit he reckins, management all remain. As they are worried about supplies. Apparently the big firms are stockpiling as much as they can, as they are worried about fulfilling long term contracts and worry that come the forts fee months, they won’t be able rely on their hourly deliveries to sites.
When building towers in cities, there is zero room on the site for storage ofvsny type, so they only have about an hours worth of materials on site. Truck companies are fines 1000s of pounds for being minutes late. So new contracts, and depots are being set up all round to stockpile. No haulage firsms can guarantee anything at this moment.
I wonder if easyjet are selling flights yet for April in to the EU, the last I checked, they still wasn’t any offer for after B-day. As they never knew where they stood either being a uk based airline. They don’t (or didnt) have the authority to fly into EU airspace, if the exited. Crazy world ahead.
*or whatever that looks like after parlementy approval, as long as the EU accepts the new proposal, otherwise the proposal isn’t worth the paper it’s drafted on
I love the idea of an EU Army. We are nation of around 70m that spends sod all on the services. Trh powers we rub shoulders with, and some against, are far larger with far bigger militery budgets.
The EU consisted of 600m, twice that of America and 6 x that of Russia. If we leave, it won’t be long untill we are alone. Which isn’t a great thing given how both India and China are now also joining the party.
Also I’d love to be 16-20 and have an option to join a a med based regiment. I had the ‘fun’ of Arbroath. A decent place, but not the med.
I can’t see a bad side to it. Anything that locks us together more with our EU brothers is good by me. As if that collapses, no one can predict what happens next.
But I could see a Russian land grab, lots of US manipulation and gathering up of industry and raw materials, lots of nice world Bank loans to the poorer EU States to keep them under the US thumb. A recipe for disaster.
Hover on the up side, well have our soveranty, For all that that will be worth. The EU may collapse on its own anyhow, but I look at it like this, why speed it up, it may never happen. If anything we should want the EU to grow and be strong.
You are shaming the exacting same thing (in reverse) though.
Also shifting questions is very annoying.
Dave yir first paragraph about pigeon holing prople is stsidghtvout of Hillery Clinton paly book. She try to make it look like everyone has a place in America, so everyone get there own special name.
All that’s happinging in reality is excellated devisons. Spilt everyine up then it takes one match to set them all against each other.
It’s one thing I’ve never understood about Americans. You have to be a Ln African American, Italian American, Latino American etc… Now we add gays, lesbians, transgender, (and the many new flavours of the same theme). Even each pigeon hole is forther segregated. How can any of this end well, its the oppersite to uniting people. Your actually drawing battle lines
Trump played her back at her own game, went after a few good sections (the non Americans that was illegal) the actual legal immegrants like thisvand so did middle americal
Also given Americans in general hate california and it’s uber liberal pc ways, he could point to that and say “is that what you want” .
I class my self as Liberal, or did untill Liberal passed my by. Liberal is more militant Liberal now. I much prefer a bit of friendly socialism, and a cick of communism if no ones listening. They’d love em in America.
Old school social comnumist. I just need to change my gender and sexuality , and I’d be classed as the centre.
The world has gone made. Its all starting to unravel, and gathering pace. I don’t really see a good ‘out’, I can see see some proper wars by 2030.
I never recommended that bulb ed. I’ve never had that one, (or heard off ). My first toe into the water of smart bulbs was the yee bulbs.
I do linke the led stips (that come on a roll), and you sounder the driver onto them, (cheap as chips) but they ain’t apart. Is uposed you could make it smart (or Atleast wifi controlled) with sonoff. But my fish isn’t into WiFi, and that’s the only place I use the rolls tyle of led rgb stripping. Though my girl keeps hinging at back lighting in her room, as some of her friends have the effect.
It’s a good job the world’s isn’t running out of power!
If the shild doesn’t work out for you,(iI know your standards Chris) xiaomi does an android TV box for relativly cheap that is meant to be the dogs ding dong. (Mi Box s)
I’m yet to get into android TV. The amazon fire tv put me off wandering from the roku.
What ever you decide, there is now a few ways to skin that cat, for not stupid money.
Two years ago, you had Philips and the £40 a bulb and you’d need there hub. Now with sonoff (probably others too) you can make your own. I buy them of Ali express, in packs of ten, when they come up cheap. Iirc Thr basics are around a fiver, but can be had for ad little a £3 each.
You’d be better youtubing the sonoff stuff, as not only is it cheap it’s made to be moded and you can even flash custom roms on them. I’ve not gone that mad, but winters is long and dark so I may tinker with one at some point.
I can’t recommend the yee smart buld rgb led. Ariudm £20 a pop, need no hub and are very bright. Iirc there is a disco mode too, where it will react to music. though I may of dremt that, or thinking of anther product. I looked at alot of these about two years ago before deciding on the yee bulbs, and liked them so much I’ve just kept kept to them.
Xiaomi Make them.they are like the apple of China. Hence £20 price and not Ten like the rest of the Chinese bulbs. But they work.
That comparison make me a little sick being an android guy. Lol.
The EU won’t and can’t ‘cherry pick’ if we say in, life will just continue ad normal under the same terms as always.
Now if we leave, they will cherry pick all our best and brightest. Adding more to our downward spiral that had already started.
Atm we are the EU. It isn’t an ‘us or them’, it’s an ‘us an a we’. The EU is not seperate to us, not yet. And hopefully not anytime soon.
A very circualt argument that is gong absolutely nowhere. Let’s keep it clean and no personal insults. Opinions are fine, let’s keep it that way.
It’s not like any of our opinions are taken into account anyway. We may ad well all be pissing into the wind.so not forth falling out over.
With May’s proposal does anyone think that anyone from either side would be happy? For me i think both leave and remain are getting shafted. And I can only see that the EU nagotiators agreed to it, ad they know its dead in Parliament.
Well get an extention when it falls through, she will call a GE, the next gov will win on the EU issue (basically a glorified ref) and if a remainer wins we stay, and if a leaver wins well bomb out of the EU.
Either way, if we get a second vote, which thus would be, I’d stand with the Victor as by now everyone who is bothered about the issue, will now know all the ons and outs and where they stand. So if we still vote leave so be it. But just do it. Rip that plaster off,
get it over with. Frakly I’m bored. We all now know where we stand.
Bob I’ve noticed, you started ramain, then wavered to just do it, and now you seem back to remain again.
BL I was only joking, I have a soft spot of the hammer. I’m sure you’ll do fine, though that won’t get rid of your owners quicker. It’s got to hard as a fan when you can see loss as the greater good. The United fans are about there. Alot are thinking a drumming to arsenal may get him the boot.
Though I think he is there till they are 1. Mathematically out of the race to 4th, and/or they get knocked out of the champions league. So now that’s Feb at the earliest. Personally I’d give him 5 more years.
It’s been a glcracking weekend of footy. The Chelsea game was boring, but the spurs game was great. I’m not sure if the Liverpool game was boring. I found it frustrating as hell. And bizzarly I’ve never felt like I did at full time. Happy ad we need the points, but also shell-shocked, and a little sad for the Everton fans. I soon shook that off.
In many ways, I felt the same when we lost the final last year. Sort of “well that was f-up”
We never deserved 3 points from that, a draw would of been more than fair.
We have a running jome with the blues about pickford would be a decent player if he didn’t have short arms, we know he is awesome, but you can’t say that to them, so we tak the mick out of his little arms.
My blue mates I’ve been chatting too tonight can’t believe what he did, and how it plays into our narrative.
His distribution is amazing, though the blues say he can be over confident and balls it up evey now and then, but he reminds me of pepe reina in pinging 60 yerd balls to feet. Alisson is not bad at it, but pickford is very good. And is half decent for a guy with little arms. ?
I think the pundits have been harsh in him today. Evey one has dug him out for it. It’s a cock up, but was very unlucky too.
They have some real talent now, I knew this before the game, but didn’t realise how good Gomes is. He bossed the middle of the pitch.
If you already have outside lights in place, a cheaper solution wouf be a £6 sonoff basic (I think it’s basic).
It’s basically an inline switch. That you van set up via the app then link the account to Google (and assume alexa).then you can delete the app (it drains power) .
Just leave your normal light switch turned on and let the sonoff do the switching. You can also set sceduals etc.
Though this will only work if your outdoor light are wired in like a house lamp would be. Chances are they will be.
If your house is modern and has euro spec wiring instead of uk spec, (I think Thr euro spec is optional atm, but will end up the standard) you can use the sonoff snart light switches, and turn all light sockets into smart lights.
Thr tradition way we wire a ceiling light won’t work as we use a live (switch return) so we don’t have constant power to the back of the switch, ours has the constant power in the cieling rose (you probably know that).
You could retro fit one into the cueing rose, I figured out it would work, but you’d need a spark to check your work, and I’m not even sure if it would pass standards.
However Richard if you have modern / EU spec wiring, (doubtful), the sonoff smart switches at around £10 each (iirc) is a far cheaper way than doing an over haul of your bulbs.
I gradually changed all mined for standard leds about 6 years ago (all bar the one in the shower), and just have a few smart ones I’ve integrated
My best ones are the ones in thd attic. As I simply wired two b22 outlets to a wire to a jb box into the socket ring (ie a long lamp)I did put an in line fused switch just in case, leave it in the in position and have two smart bulbs, I control by saying on Google, attic lights on/off as I’m lowering the hatch ladders.
If I’d of known about the sonoff basic then, I’d off added one of those and but in dumb led bulbs, as when in the attic all I do is have my Smart rgb led bulbs set by o 100% and white.as Im only with looking for somthing of putting somthing away.
I probably will one day. And relocate the smart bulbs. My girl is getting a Google home for her bedroom for Xmas, so I may whack the smart bulb in there.
If anyone has kids between 3 and 25! The bathroom is the place for a smart switch. My kids the younger ones cis there young, and older ones cis beer, like to leave the bathroom light on, which means the extractor fan is left on too, so being able to say ok Google bathroom off when woken by it is an excellent use of smart tech. Save having to trapes to the bathroom .
Also given Xmas is about hear, a use for a smart socket, or even a sonoff basic, is the Xmas lightsmif your house is like mine, the socket for them is usally buried behind the tree. Also they would be good for oaps that like to turn sockets off behind tvs at night.
You can set up rooms and areas etc, so you could have a ‘goodnight livingroom’ that turns off your lights, tv stuff and Xmas lights all with one command. I can see the smart stuff coming into its own as I age.
Oooh you have an nfc sticker on your night stand that auto turns off the downstairs when you Dock your phone after a certain hour.
I for got, my tortoise enclosure is also ran by a sonoff basic. So now its light cycle isn’t dependent on us remembering to turn the sun off.
Though one word of warning. Getting a new router turns into an ordeal. Lol.
I can recommend the yee ligj bulbs form xiomai. They are very good and relatively cheap (for smart bulbs) at £20 for rgb and about £13 for white. I’ve only got rgb (as they do white) and they are very bright are are only ever on 50% up stairs. And 75% down stirs. Which we Dail back to 20% in the evenings
The bedroom ones come on 20% and red at night set up via the app, so you don’t get woke up going the loo.
Ive been drunk before and tried to eat in red light. Your taste percention goes all out of whack then the light isn’t normal white. Very strange indeed.
Well done Bob, (or lads) , yes we play tomorrow, and it’s a late kick off. Derbies for us, are usally 12pm kick offs (or mid week), same with united. Mainly to stop the drinking before the game. So 4pm (iirc) kick off, will have a lively atmosphere and it will be under the lights.
Shame I’m not attending.
Tbh when Milner arrived no one fancied him, a free city reject at about 27, but ever since klopp come in, the guy is a machine. His work rate puts more players to shame. And given he was a winger for a while, he has some miles on the knees.
I was at a family get together last weekend. A large affair on the wife’s side. My wife auntie is back dating after about 5 years of being a widow. And her boyfriend is jimmys great uncle, he is from Huddersfield and hates the fact he played for leeds and is roumourd to go back there to finish his career.
The folk that say the want sovereignty are not meaning it in its literal term, they seem to think atm we can’t make are own rules, and think we don’t have a say in what new EU rules are made.
Non seem to realises, we are the EU. It’s not a 3rd party. Or hasn’t been for 40 years.
Tbh I don’t know why they want, as I’m yet to hear a saine (to me) reason to leave that trumps the overall value of staying.
I’m no EU fan either. But I’m a me and my kids fan. For me personally and the majority of the nation, we will be worse off out than in. So I’m an in.
Now if the EU was say Saudi Arabia, I’d want to be out on principle, and sod the losses. But the EU is no Saudi or Qatar. Its just liek us, but a bit sunnier.
If we leave, and Thr Union breaks down, in tan years time we could be fighting for land. (ww3) Style.
Maybe this is what both America and Russia wants. Maybe now the EU is seen as a theat to either or both nations? Pure speculation and my thinking patterns.
Just wait till no one csn afford thier mortgages, house prices will plimit, and good old cash buyers will hoover up. Is that why oaps are into brexit, as they are the only cash buyers. Though maybe to long of a long game for them. More like the top few percent will hoover up what little the don’t yet own.
I give up.
On a side note, but just as depressing, me and my mate was talking about the best way to die. we decided on a metior hit. one big one. Just go to bed with the kids, but on a film and gone. I suppose I could stretch that to a nuke, but I’d want it to be a direct hit on me, no 20 miles away shit.
Isn’t talking brexit uplifting.
Given we will have to go a season inbeated to beat City to trh title, my kick will soon be here.
I think psg looked super ropey at the back, a number of times them let us pen them in on the left side, luckily for them, them managed to play out of it eventually. I can see that hiring them eventually. We looked half decent second half. Just had a shocker of a first. We need to get the new boys up to Speed and bedded in, as Milner is really getting on, and shouldn’t be relied upon in Paris against psg. I love the guy, but he is about 47.
Hendo has lost what pce he had, but Fabino isn’t ipt to speed yet, and kieta will be a great box to box, if he ever shows interest. He annoys ne as we signed him 12 months in advance, and the tit didn’t even learn any English. So apparently he is loanly and unhappy. I’d love to be unhappy on £150k a week.
Money doesn’t by happiness, but if im gonna cry, I’d much prefer it be in a ferrari than an astra. Lol.
Big weekend for us, Everton are looking decent, and it’s been 18 years ilsince they beat us at home. Please let it next year. The points are far to important atm.
I’m hating this season BTW, evey game is a must win. City is like the F-ing terminator, they just don’t stop. Footy was way more enjoyable when we just milled around 4th. Now it’s friggin real. Never been in a relagarion battle (touch wood), buts it’s got to be a similar feeling but in reverse. I’m dreading every game.
I’m sure once we get thr PL monkey of our shoulders, it’s won’t be lime this the second time. If there ever is a second time.
Alan makes a good point. (I forgot) 32 bit windows maxes out at 4gb. So if it’s 32nit 4 is your limit. If its 64bit I think it’s 128gb (may of changed) but I’m sure your mobo will have a limit lower than that lol.
Older ones would be 8 to 16gb. Just have a quick look in the user manual or the net.
But given you have such an exact number of 7. 88gb I’d say its in, and showing up. So your good to go.
They can trade all round the world easily as the contreies probably already have deals with the EU as 3rd party members. Them deals end the day we leave the EU. Then the paper work really starts.
And as I said above, it’s not ad simple as signing a new deal, as the EU will be part of the negotiation team for that 3rd party country. Or at least the EU will have a huge say in it. They won’t let a 3rd parts they have a deal with, sign a more favourable deal with a 4th party. Its basic business.
For a while the MPs was Saying we will just carry on with the same terms as before, even if the EU let us, which they might, the trade deals in place, are set up to protect all nations of the EU, like protection for Spanish oranges, Italian olivs etc, so we would still be doing business on someone else’s terms.
There is a mountain of reasons, that it’s dumb. Monetary wise it maze zero sense. I’m yet to hear a better solution to what we have.
We and all our off springs will pay for this. If we leave, there will be a huge brain drain to the uk. If we are lucky in 20 years, we will be making shit for China. And the pound will be worth a tenth it is today.
But we’ll have our soveranty…. ?
I was watching the score come in while watching Liverpool fail in Paris ?
Are you coming up to the Premiership bob, I’m sure BL will make some room for you ??
Windows will eat everything, but doesn’t mean you need a lot. For most people 8 is fine, for a gamer 16 is nice. And anything over that is a waste unless you know you need it.
Usally media editors. Or people that runs lots of simulations or runs many vms. Then put in as much as you need.
I think it was the win7 days was the last time I worried about ram.
Any external state that has a trade deal with the EU, has to declare to the EU when setting up substantial trade deals with anther 3rd party nation.
So the other big states in the world that we will want to make a trade with already have deals with the EU.
So even when out, we’ll be trying to make a deal with X, the EU will still be at the table. Its impossible for the UK to make better one on one deals with any state worth being worried about.
All the ones we can make deals with make up such a small percentage of world trade, it can never make up for the losses.
The trade deal angle never added up.
