There is a network that was built using taxpayer money (Openreach) and they’re required to lease it out to other ISPs. However, other companies are free to build their own and only use parts of the Openreach network. Virgin Media (formerly NTL) have built their own network but most other companies only build own small sections here and there and plug into Openreach for the rest, but Virgin don’t lease their network out. So you’re basically using Openreach or Virgin Media.

I’m keeping an eye on Mr Tumble, protégé of Philip Schofield.

People who laugh at beans on toast haven’t tried beans on toast. At least not with English baked beans.

I’ve seen this reference so many times, can someone explain it?

There’s various contractual reasons they may say this but ultimately they probably can’t tell. Those terms and conditions don’t count for anything and can’t be enforced because no reasonable reads them. I’d just go ahead with using your router and wait for somebody to say something (feign ignorance).

Someone will probably shoot me down for this but I actually find ChatGPT good for explaining concepts to me. Especially when I just want a high level understanding of a concept as I try to understand another one without getting too bogged down. A lot of Google results go into way too much detail.

This is for the best, there would have been even no end of trouble if he wasn’t able to run for election because he was sent to jail or whatever.

It looks like Trump is almost certainly going to lose the election and when he does he’s going to jail. It’ll make November even more fun.

Actually I speak from experience. I grew up in the countryside and I’ve also lived in huge cities. Places to have a drink after work provide a hub for the community where you can relax and meet people in the area. I’m not talking about nightclubs, I’m talking about anything at all. They’re especially important in cold countries where you aren’t likely to just sit in your garden and talk to the neighbours over the fence.

These kinds of places can look idyllic until it’s 5:30pm on a Friday and the only place to get a drink closed half an hour and the streets are all empty. Then they start to feel pretty boring.

I honestly think I’d rather shit myself while farting than piss myself. If you shit yourself you can hide it and clean up. If you piss yourself everyone can see.

I don’t fucking care, I want woolly mammoths and dodos.

I’m more pissed that I sat in line for five hours then when I had the tickets in my basket the site crapped out and I got kicked.

I knew a guy from Guinea Bissau and they learnt English by watching the Tweenies.

As soon as someone mentions 1947 they lose all credibility to me. Does anyone still believe that was a UFO?

I really tried to enjoy the first series but four episodes in it was just a chore to watch and I didn’t know what was going on or care about any of the characters. It just couldn’t keep my interest.

I read only 30% of people who watched the first series completed it and it’s the reason we now have ads in Prime. They signed a contract to do three series of it.

Most of the time a company does something like this they would just let it die. It’s good that Microsoft have at least made the effort to hand it over to a team who’s willing to keep it going.

My wife is well excited about being able to see them live. She’ll pay whatever they want.

It says this was announced along with Prey 2. Wouldn’t that imply that this is a sequel to one of those shitty Predator films that nobody watched, not Prey?

Nobody voted for Corbyn, that’s why he isn’t the leader of the Labour Party anymore.
