Like Wallace and Gromit but instead of cheese it's biscuits.

  • I didn't know they did an outdoor hub. I've been using a Three 5G broadband hub for a few years. I bought my own Pointing external antenna and connected it to the hub. It works well. The antenna boosts the signal significantly (I forget how much exactly).

    The issue I have isn't the hub or antenna, it's Three themselves. Quite often the 5G gets slow, as in unusably slow. The signal is strong so I assume it's an issue with their masta or over subscribed. It doesn't happen as much these days though.

    Because I was unsure when I first wanted one I opted for a monthly contract and not a year. It allowed me to test how well it works before cancelling my existing broadband.

  • That was madness. Somebody putting his skills to good use to rescue a bunch of people stuck in a flooding cave and gets called a pedo for saying Elons robot is useless.

  • Sort of. Only because they don't maintain their asset register correctly and the ticket system is shite. Dodgy equipment does end up going out but not always at the fault of the person issuing it.

  • I've driven in Jakarta. That was interesting.

  • He was full of shit. Very dense and highly concentrated shit.

  • I've never had a twitter account. It had no benefit to me when it was first made, whereas now it's something much worse.

  • I totally agree. I have a legal ebike and make sure I'm safe and within the law. I don't want to risk my driving license, or injuring anybody.

    Ebikes are generally a lot heavier than a normal push bikes. The stopping distance is terrible especially down a hill. If I were to go at high speeds on it then it would be very dangerous. I should think top-end ebike have good brakes but most of the cheaper one, such as mine, do not. I am keen on upgrading the brakes though.

  • They can throw the book at these illegal ebike riders. Unregistered moped, no insurance, no MOT, dangerous vehicle (by means of no MOT to prove otherwise).

  • It was the same for me. I was really impressed with her very stereotypical British accent.

  • Well now you've given me ideas! I hate these things. They're ok untill suddenly and unexpectedly they're not!

  • Oh I don't think I've seen the large black ones before. I grew up in Poole. Perhaps the black ones are less common here.

  • Never had this problem. I have that annoying little nail splitting out from my little toe. Gets snagged on socks all the time.

  • This is all terrible. I've noticed there's often a money making theme behind these stories. The woman in the video said to have water she would have needed to buy a cup. I saw a video a while back about a British woman trying to exit the US only to end up detained by ICE. For her release her family needed to pay a large sum of money from a US bank account.

    This feels like concentration camps, but instead of murdering people for gold they're now holding people to ransom.

  • Hey, I'm from Dorset too. I've never heard Chiggy wigs before. I wonder if it's a very regional or age thing. We called them wood lice.

  • Running is what triggered it originally years ago. Ligament and cartilage problems I think it was. Could barely walk on it for 2 or 3 months after. I have to be very selective about the sport I do now. I helped a friend move house a few weeks ago and somehow that has messed it up again. But now I know what it is so I know when to stop and deal it it better. I miss being young!

  • My knee which feels like it exploded says otherwise.

  • Probably didn't have to remove that one.

  • And when you're old you'll be the reason why other old people get blamed for the shit state of the world by the younger people.
