Could be worse. You could be with TalkTalk, who completely failed to get us connected to the internet at all. Yorkshire folk at Plusnet managed it though!

...As is so often the way, as soon as I buy something, lots of very tempting cars come onto the market. There's a £300 Xantia but now also a couple of very affordable (if you haven't just blown all your money on a Range Rover) BX turbo diesels - which would be even better for covering mileage than the Saab...

Ian, didn't you just SELL a BeeArks diseasel...? :?

I've been with Be for about 5 years. Any problems? No.

 

Unlimited (and I DO mean unlimited) 24MB (get 12-14MB) costs £22 per month. Consistent speeds, no drop-outs.

 

Is it fancy? Nope. No extras at all, just Broadband.

 

Does it work? Absolutely.

I really hate a lack of effort to localise that stuff too, like when they bosch-up interior images showing LHD. Is Image > Rotate Canvas > Flip Canvas Horizontal too much to ask ?

BBC Silverstone GP coverage. Grated I don't really like F1 so I'm likely cynical but the blatant timewasting and BBC plugging has pissed me off. Three twats on a bicycle, twating about in the TopGear car and "Watch TG tonigt to see the resut" plug, twat in an ice-ceam van and twats twating about on jetskis or something FFS.

 

Also I really hate the word "twat".

Just come back from the paper shop (procrastination and avoidance techniques to delay starting on the Fronty) and The News Of The Screws sold out early doors. So what's all this about The Great British Public boycotting Murdoch's seedy organ? The newsagent said as it was the last one, it was a souvenir :roll::roll::twisted:

It certainly would be if they manage to take utter shit like 'OK' magazine and any other 'celebrity' load of old bollocks with it.

Anyone who bought a paper because they wanted to know which tosspot that gormless slag Jordan was shagging/which drug Kerry Katona is/isn't taking doesn't deserve to have eyes.

Show-offy feckin cyclists!

 

The roads round my way (West Cumbria) are about adequate for most of the day, but when it's start or finish time at Sellafield (a few times a day, as there's shift changes as well), there's too much traffic about for an hour or so. What is absolutely not needed when the roads are so busy is some moron dressed as a Power Ranger weaving about on a bike, red faced, at the side of the (country) road, in and out of traffic. Particularly when there is a (presumably expensive) tarmaced cycle track running parallel to the road, about 5 yards to the left, which they studiously ignore - in order that their boss can go past them in his Audi and notice how 'dynamic' and 'youthful' they are.

 

If I was their boss I would see them as 'stupid' and 'suicidal'. The other month one of these mouth breathers was knocked off their bike on the road and landed ON the (empty) cycle track to their left, badly injured. And still they don't learn.

 

Pricks.

 

I'm not against cycling per se, but those who use the road instead of that cycle track really piss me off.

 

They all seem to wear yellow tops as well, as if they're leading the Tour de France.

 

Tossers.

Oh no! It's the police!

 

Oh, wait, it's not, it's some idiot that has dressed his security business van up to pretend he's one. Why do people do this?

That excelerate security van seems to be some sort of cyber mission control van that they hire out to the real police or anyone who wants to have a van full of electronics at a big event. See http://www.excelerate.info/en/CompanyProfile for depressing details. In many ways it's worse than someone with DOG UNIT on the side of their LDV Convoy in yellow electrical tape lettering, these guys have satellite broadband in their van and they're going to save us from terrorists with broadband, wifi and their own van-powered GSM network.

I use the road. Partly because there isn't a cycle track where I live, but mostly because if there was, you could pretty much guarantee it would be covered in dog shit and broken glass, possibly with the odd discarded fridge thrown in for good measure. And I'm usually going faster than 18mph or so, which is of course the DfT guideline speed over which you should be using the road. Finally, it's not illegal to use the road, and if your blood pressure is raised significantly by being held up for a few minutes, you should maybe be thinking about getting a bike yourself. I mean, what's the rush? Did you forget to set the video for "Sex and the City" or something? :wink:

What cyclists often don't realise is that the difference between 18mph and 30mph could be me being fired because I've spent all night drinking heavily and I'm already banking on nothing being in my way. Nowt personal fellas, just move out of the way and I'll continue on my un-merry way. Obliged!

I'm a keen bicycle person myself, and as with anything with wheels, I've raced them, BMX and racing bikes, did Belfast to Dublin. What gets on my tits is these lycra-clad dickheads who wobble about when you try to overtake in your car. Fair enough they might not hear my Rover or Jag, but you cannot fail to hear my Motad-equipped Suzuki. The advantage of a motorbike in these situations is that you can smack cyclists on the head.
