My parents live in the middle of the UK and get 0.5mb on a good day.

Did you mention the agenda to them in person or via email? This is why I always try to send stuff via email. Need to keep a record.

Are books an option? Cosmetics? Housewares? My parents just give me underwear and cash for birthday/christmas. They said that they've given up trying to find something for me. Apparently I'm difficult to buy for.

I just want to add that I gave my advice before I knew she was vegan.

Only until Article 50.

At least. .

I mean your choice of unit of measurement.

Why? Just why?

True, but you could do it somewhere with the window open/extractor fan on. Or a dehumidifier. But that goes back to @Shorty's comment. Where does the moisture go with the DriBuddi? From what I can tell it's just a heated fan inside a cover. So that's the same issue.

This. And this. I pay for Netflix (well my OH does). But if some shows aren't on there, then how can I watch them? We also have prime (again paid for by her) but amazon are kind of shit, a lot of there shows are partly free, and then pay for the rest. I do go to the cinema, but it's undoubtedly a rip off. I never pirate games as steam is good and the (sale) prices are often reasonable. I used to pirate films but since Spotify and apple music (also the OH) I no longer do. I still watch TV and films via illegal streaming sites, but I don't feel guilty. We have two TV streaming subscriptions. If they want to continue with an archaic, restrictive, extortionate distribution model then I'm happy to not support it. Maybe I'm just trying to justify it to myself, but I genuinely feel no guilt. I try to pay for albums of smaller, independent bands. But for larger bands I'd rather put that money towards tickets that generate the bands lots of income, and create more jobs, than CDs which mostly benefit retailers and record labels.

The DriBuddy is basically just a hot fan with a cover. Can you not just get a cheap fan heater and place that next to the clothes horse? The DriBuddy is 1200w so anything less than that will use less energy.

Either of the above are good. Whichever you feel most comfortable doing. Just make sure you do something and don't regret missing the chance later.

How did you decide which names to get rid of?

Usually people call me Shagmaster 3000 or King Dong.

You should get "Et tu, @Brute?"

"This side up"

Have you tried meetup? https://www.meetup.com/

I'd go for the Lenovo ZUK Z2 personally. You may have to flash the ROM though so be sure you're comfortable doing that (plenty of good guides on the Lenovo forums).

Congratulations! Happy for you.

Well this thread just became awful.

He might not be gloating, you don't know what's coming after that ellipsis. He could be paying £430.

I'd give a salary. Saying you want x% pay rise just sounds like you want a pay rise. But saying you wank £x sounds like you're giving yourself a value/worth. Also in percentage terms 10% is a large pay rise. But if it's not that much in actual money then it may sounds more palatable. That's my opinion anyway. Either definitely go in above what you actually want, as they'll most likely give a counter offer.

Just got to the crossover in Flash. Annoyed that I have to continue it on Arrow. I'd stopped watching the show because I'd lost interest. I don't want to just watch the crossover episode though so I'm going to have to catch up.

Yeah some rats are huge. I once saw a rat get run over by a car (a VW Passat, so not exactly small) and just shake itself off and scamper away. But still, rats are very agile. As you say if it's rats they're likely not stuck, so wouldn't make much noise. Besides, surely it's dead now, @Goafer?

No chance it will find its way out?
