  1. Since Christmas - Black Summer - MW Craven, good police thriller. (you don't need to read the Puppet show but it helps with the characters) New Jack Reacher, as good as they always are. My Lovely Wife-Samantha Downing, very first person ish,excellent read. Dead of Winter- Lee Weeks , excellent oldie crime drama from 2012 Victorian Underworld -drug addictions,prostitution,dislike for authority and an age of consent of 12. Powerful non fiction of a bygone era.
  2. Why should anyone get BBC for free? If we're being encouraged to use paid streaming services whats the problem paying for BBC.
  3. Just finished watching it and it was ok to pass some afternoons on. 8/10
  4. There was an excellent programme late last night on History,which went into more detail than i knew regarding the difference in death camps and concentration camps.
  5. tbh it happens with a lot of medication my wife has been prescribed HRT meds, the meds work but she then gets pain everywhere and can't even lift a kettle of water.
  6. This has some interesting items on the area https://www.tinsleytimeandtravel.org.uk/industrial-tinsley.html
  7. I said no such thing and that is abundantly clear from my response. Their grandparents aren't in care and may not need to go into care. If you also check up on care home costs and ways to pay there is no one size fits all and no specific ruling saying they would put on the streets,perhaps its better to have a full understanding than to hype up Daily Mail style potential scenarios that may well not happen. If one owner remains in the home,the house won't be sold anyway and no one would be homeless.
  8. thanks guys.i have been reading the crucial site and it seems easy enough.
  9. My daughters is a three story house and theres trouble on the top floor so they put a booster in the middle floor . (@skys expense) The final solution would be again to run an external ethernet up to the top floor,but she can't be bothered to keep nagging at them to do it.
  10. why not speak to sky and see if they can improve the signal with a booster, they have at my daughters. When i moved to sky broadband they hardwired the ethernet externally (eventually) at their cost to ensure i got the speeds i should as the signal on the tv downloads kept dropping out.
  11. I think its wrong that grandparents expect a handout in old age so that they can give someone money that they have stashed away. I've written wills for a living i've heard every possible variation on the anecdotes you share and worse, yet the overriding reason is because people don't think they should pay for something when someone else is getting it for nothing.
  12. Why shouldn't his house be used for care? If you're fit and want a physio you pay for it,if you need a cleaner pay for them. If people want to buy anything they use their own assets to do so, why should it be different for care provision - not medical need.
  13. Its a lenovo G505 laptop - just runs a bit slow sometimes even after doing all the other fixes to it.
  14. IIRC several of the men had their phones checked,some on request and a couple voluntarily int heir own defence. It was at this point after viewing the phone evidence i believe that the Cypriot police encouraged her to change her statement.
  15. How easy is it to change to ssd? my laptop may benefit from a changeover.
  16. Ive got some unopened vax cleaner if you want some at some a very reasonable price - we've got loads (6 large bottles) when we bought our vax machine. We bought two aditional bottles not realising they were in triple packs. pm me.
  17. Does it matter who he is - surely that sentiment should apply to everyone including the one man two man enterprises that form phoenix like companies every other year stealing thousands directly from the mouths of many members of the public. My company is insured for such closures so we're not out of pocket and neither is the tax man (but then again we restrict our vulnerability based on the insurance) lots of companies just clamour for the money and the prestige and thats a business risk, most private individuals scammed by builders,plasterers,car dealerships don't have that saftey blanket.
  18. Bohemian Rhapsody - now im not a Queen fan and don't care one jot about the accuracy of the film. But this made me choke big time. (I've since watched some stuff on TV on Freddie and i have to say how won over i was by him.) 9/10
  19. How you feel and how we feel as outsiders will be different. Unfortunately we had first hand experience of exactly your scenario,my daughter divorced him and they both moved on with life. He never changed even with a new family and wife.
  20. Watched some of the more recent BIG movies,as i've just rejoined sky movies. Bumblebee - 3/10 Captain Marvel - watched it a few times and it gets better, would have been 8 except for Jude Law being in it - 7/10 Marry Poppins - 1/10 Glass - disappointing - 6.5/10 Avengers-End Game - 9/10 Cold Pursuit on Prime - 6/10 Shazam - 1/10
  21. Been with greenflag for a few years now but only needed them once and they were faultless. My car has cover provided by the manufacturer,and this turned out to be RAC, again no issues with them when i needed them in darkest Cornwall.
  22. I found the google listing said 5.30 but the libraries website clearly states its closed. I have had this before when third parties(google) post information. But yes you would imagine someone would ensure the correct inforamtions is publicised.
  23. I once watched a programme on an NHS hospital with some expert who was trying to make it more streamlined(i think it was during Blairs term but i am probably wrong) he had umpteen suggestions to improve the provision of services,better utilisation of operating theatres,diversion of menial tasks away from nursing staff, improvements to the quality of meals served for the same money being spent etc It all went well until it hit the consultants(the one's who opt for Mr instead of Dr) who refused to move one inch on any change as it impacted on their private medical work. So the hospital carried on as it always has done. So apart from outsourcing cleaning duties and buying drugs from another source there's little that can be done in the NHS. The NHS are held to ransom due to their own bureaucracy from the provision of toilet rolls upwards.
  24. I can't disagree with him - Why shouldn't a minimum public transport service be offered evn if they want to strike.
