so how does this affect the millions with chrome books that run google? I know that actually you can tinker around and turn a chromebook into a google free Linux zone, but that is if you have the knowledge, and if the chromebook's bios hasn't been locked to prevent that. Seems to me that if the rest...

wood isn't carbon neutral if you use a petrol chainsaw to cut it then a motor vehicle to carry it. peanuts you might say, but none the less. when the government started a scheme for wood fueled central heating systems with a handy grant, that started the rise of cost in construction wood as demand s...

_106139796_secondclassstamps-2019update-nc.png never mind erste klasse stamps, second class jumped around 2010, and then once royal mail was looking like a cosy investment, the government privatised it. I strenuously avoid posting stuff as it's so costly. It's annoying that particular like renewal ...

up until now, those standard protocols have IMHO been woefully inadequate, like reusing the screwholes on the stabledoor where the bolt was forced off after little Red Rum, Sunchaser and Pegasus had hot-hoofed it to pastures green and far far away from the contagion. There is still debate by doctors...

Perhaps the shortage is indicative of a lack of people in the general population who have a vocation to serve in our health care system. Those already on the payroll have such a vocation and so it could be possible to cut their wages as they would not leave, happy to see the money used to help the ...

a single healthy person no kids over 25 will get more income if they work 19 hours or more than doing nothing while on benefits. Benefits for both unemployment and housing costs have been frozen for the last 3 or 4 years I think. Even if benefits do rise by inflation next tax year, because minimum w...

my suggestion about raising the maximum assisted electrically speed was based on giving someone like me or you who is (or was) capable of accelerating zero to 25 in a few seconds under our own steam, but cannot repeatedly do so time after time after time when crossing a big city. It's been a claim e...

back to back in the sense that behind one row of houses was a small yard with a privvy, and then a central path running all the way along and then the back yard etc of the next row of houses,You would have been able to string a 30' clothes line from your top window to your opposite neighbours. As ap...

It has certainly been my experience that the employers that have permanent or almost weekly adverts for new staff are almost always paying at or near minimum wage, using agencies to put some legal distance between themselves and disgruntled workers, usually have varying demand for staff so want the ...

Screenshot 2020-02-20 at 10.01.35.png That's the full news item on the BBC. I however now feel very annoyed with the bbc because those aren't the only images circulating the web. It now appears that some of the ears were black. i.e the image the bbc chose to head the article as representative of th...

...It’s all anecdotal but none of the Doctors that I’ve heard of have leached from the NHS to U.K. private medicine but many have simply gone to work abroad (‘cause the pay’s good, the lifestyle is better and they don’t get shafted by managers).... example uno: I saw a consultant in september, 2 mo...

_110962287_gettyimages-1204679435.jpg After my eyes tear themselves away from the horrible dress my next thought was, is that Professor Winston's eyebrows? The ears were stolen from the Star Wars props basket. And as for the lips, they look like something you'd find on an inflatable friend from Ms ...

I'm still looking for an original disease free copy of W7 to reload onto a little netbook I have. Reason, because it has only a 32Gb harddrive soldered in which is not upgradeable and while W10 runs, it is slower than W7 was because it's not powerful enough. Also I have a few gadgets that have softw...

the bin men once upon a time used to go round the back to your bin and take out the bag of rubbish, you din't have to put the bin out yourself. That was when we had mostly back to back terraced housing. Yet again like in many other areas where there has been no standards set from the start, the prob...
