  1. Again - don't bother - we had them for a while, but they just didn't work, kids jumped over, wriggled under, lent each other cards and they were a risk should you need to do a swift evacuation - complete waste of money. They all went for scrap.
  2. I agree with you about S2 of Mr Robot - I was a bit disappointed after S1 Walking Dead I enjoy, but I have to switch my critical faculties off while watching, else I'm always thinking "surely all the petrol/bullets/etc would've run out by now" - the zombies are just back story now - its more post apocalypse survival now - though I think they would be scrapping round in a very basic agrarian lifestyle by now - more like in the 1970s BBC series - Survivors - for those of us old enough to remember it
  3. It had my full wheelie bin off down the street 3 times today - had to wedge it in position with heavy planters...
  4. I think Taboo has got better over the series - didn't much like it to start - but now eager to see how it finishes
  5. To me - it looks like a similar wiring set up to a bathroom extractor fan that has a timer - you have two lives, one of which acts as a signal to turn off and the other which keeps the unit running until the timer switches off - the switch is to isolate. As above - if you don't know what you're doing - get in somebody who dpes - cos this stuff can be dangerous to you and your house - and that would be a dangerous and expensive mistake!
  6. Just reading Railhead by Phillip Reeve - very good - loved his Mortal Engines series
  7. My garage is full of boxes of computer garbage - I was rootling through just the other day to find a spare monitor cable - and saw SCSI cables, parallel printer sharers and other odds and siods that'll never be used again - I must get round to getting rid!
  8. Just watched the Santa Clarita Diet - zombie flesh eating sitcom! It had potential, but never reached it in my opinion... I was a bit of a Justified fan - but seeing Mr O gurn through various sitcom upsets was a bit of a disappointment
  9. I always like the Labours of Her-cules - but all these are a problem for the autodidact I think..
  10. I don't know - all the rides make you go "WEEEEEeeee!!!"
  11. IT in a nutshell

  13. It used to be a zoo when we used to go to Tenby on holiday as kids! I can recommend it for a holiday with kids - the beaches are great and the town is still quite pretty!

  15. I picked one of these up recently https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ricoh-C250DN-Wireless-Colour-Printer/dp/B00K2J7ZOS they were on offer on UKHotDeals for £45 - always orth keeping your eye on there!

  17. I watched the whole lot and quite enjoyed it - though the jumping into parallel dimensions through what appears to be "interpretive dance" was a little strange to say the least!
  18. Just binge watching Braindead - good fun and explains a lot of the discussions we have in the Politics forum
  19. As others have said - it depends on how far away you will sit and how big a screen you are going to want. Personally I find that in our smallish room - I can't see any difference between standard and HDTV on a 37" screen. As above - get your Smart features separately - the TV manufacturers are very poor at keeping features up to date and stuff just stops working over a fairly short time frame - at least with your own box you can update
  20. Just finished The Essex Serpent, which disappointed me - bit of a soppy story in the end with quite a few untied ends...imho Did read Wolf By Wolf and Blood By Blood by Ryan Graudin - highly recommend them as teenage readers - the action zips along! Currently started the Travis McGee books by John McDonald - from the 1960s - heavily influences the Jack Reacher books (according to Lee Childs on a radio thing I heard) - enjoying it a lot at the moment
  21. Just finished watching The OA, quite strange but I enjoyed it - not what I was expecting, but worth the effort I thought
  22. Just get the drivers off Compuserve...
  23. That would certainly be the neolib solution, which works well for the captain until the pirates who got nothing kill the captain anyway because they are severely pi$$ed off - pretty much the situation we are swiftly arriving at in our western democracies at present
  24. Hand me that SCSI cable
  25. Do you think a 386 chip will be powerful enough to run a server for 25 staff? (it was)
