Not just residential properties. I have half of the ground floor of a warehouse and the tenant upstairs moved out before Christmas. In order to re let the space, my landlord also has to get it rated, presumably […]

Palm oil. Difficult to avoid but I’ve started to try and see if it’s an ingredient. We cook a lot from scratch so that helps although I dare say I use more than I realise.

Unless enough people start to take the view that flying for what is effectively a night out is unacceptable (I know, not every passenger falls into that category). If the planes are half full then the service may […]

In videoworld, we used to say that if VLC wouldn’t play it then there was definitely something wrong. Less so these days but still a very useful tool.

I looked at going to Hamburg for a gig. Flying is a lot quicker and about the same price once getting to the airport and parking are factored in. It’s not until the summer but I doubt I’ll go. Flying just see […]

That looks like it was compiled from sales figures from my local Oxfam. Just needs No Parlez.

OK, another question. Does the free movement of goods continue, at least until the end of 2020 or will documents such as carnets be required from February 1st?

29 years ago! I’m hopeful that her voice is still as good. She was a guest on the Live From High Fidelity podcast a few years ago and sounded pretty good then.

I was on a job with a large crew and the topic at the lunch table turned to who various people worked for. A company was mentioned and someone no one kne […]

If you have a dash cam then you could send footage that the council or police.

Very good!

Was there a Ramones baby grow under the tree?

My wife just asked if I’d turned it on and off. I hadn’t so she pulled the power cable right out, restarted the set and iPlayer is back. I suspect that the update had downloaded earlier and needed the cold res […]

Me too….

In further “Samsung: not as good as they used to be” news, they’ve failed to keep up the iPlayer certification so ours has stopped working. Software won’t update so they’ll fix it when they can be arsed it seems.

I had my work head on and was thinking of an HDMI “crash” switcher but yes, the AV receiver allows section of sources and takes care of the audio too.

I got my dad a Humax in 2012 when telly went digital and had to write the recording instructions out long hand and draw a diagram of the remote with arrows and notes. It was like Alice’s Restaurant with the 27 8 […]
