I use Sky for phone & broadband, no fibre here (yet) so using the "Sky Hub" modem/router they provided. It's shite! 2 ethernet ports, no guest network etc. etc. though to be fair the wifi coverage isn't too bad. Someone local is advertising an Asus modem/router but I don't know the sign-in...

Whatsapp, the supposedly encrypted messaging service slipped and agreement clause into the app the other day with the option to accept or leave till later. I did the latter as I didn't have time to read what it was all about, but here it is. It's a shame, because I use WA a lol and so do many...

When the pharmacist recommended an analgesic for my headache, I was too embarrassed to admit I didn't know what gesics are. Now, my headache's no better and my bum really hurts.

I still use the TM5402 in new installations, but I don't supply them, I tell customer to source their own. Long story behind that. But recently they have reported having problems getting them, with (Ebay) sellers trying to palm them off with 5400's & the like, one even arrived with a "new"...

A fairly young PC laptop, less than 2 years old HP Spectre i7 with 16GB RAM. Came with Win10 and it has been great. I was having problems with my wifi frequently reporting 'No Internet', it seemed to start after a Windoze update about 3 weeks ago. So today I though why not try a system restore &...

Yesterday I had an appointment to see the urologist for a prostate exam. Of course I was a bit on edge because all my friends have either gone under the knife or had those pellets implanted. The waiting room was filled with patients. As I approached the receptionist's desk, I noticed that the...

I have never quite figured out why the sexual urges of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing or why men think with their head and women with their heart. For example...One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, things...

Reading about another death across the pond really got my blood boiling over the weekend. Not that I live there or would ever want to, but it highlights the way the media are operating, manipulating us to perpetuate their sick agenda, and even worse it's spilled over here where it has feck all...

I think I'm going to lose my driving licence, and all just because of a stupid police officer. The conversation went like this when I got pulled over in my car: Officer: "Licence please, I think you are drunk!" Me: "I assure you, I did not drink anything." Officer: "Ok, let's do a little test...

Estate Planning My mate Daryl was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. He knew that he would inherit a fortune when his elderly father died. Darrel wanted two things: • to learn how to invest his inheritance and, • to find a wife to share his...

A few years ago I knew of a chap in England who could modify a Sky Digibox's serial number to clone the original so that the viewing card could be used in another box. This was particularly useful for holiday home owners who didn't want to cart their Digibox back & forth. The box he modified was...

A guy walks into a bar with an octopus under his arm. He sets the octopus on a stool next to him and announces: "This is an amazing octopus. I'll bet anyone in this bar £50 that this octopus can play any instrument set in front of it." None of the people could believe this, so one guy brought up...

The scene: A kitchen in Gorgie, Edinburgh. The marriage was a bit shaky. He was looking shifty, she was sulking. Whilst washing the dishes- her washing, him drying. Handed him a saucer, he dropped it, smashing it. “Why don’t you admit it” she yelled, “ where do you go on Tuesday and Thursday...

I have an old-ish Qnap NAS which I haven't used for a while. I plugged it in today to get something off it and it politely asked for an update which, once I had done what I wanted to, I let it continue. It seemed to be progressing quite slowly, I thought it was maybe deliberate in order to not...

Those of us who use FB are probably doing so a lot more just now due to confinement boredom. A friend posted this, when I checked it was right enough, FB listed several apps I had recently installed on my phone. I seldom see ads, I run various ad blockers and an extention called FBPurity (which...
