Ugh, thanks for the heads up.

That’s a shame, hopefully someone else picks it up and I can enjoy them hounding her out of public life.

oh absolutely.

[Raoul Duke III]

OK.

7,748 per the google stats. so I'm on the unders, you're on the overs and you need an average 553 cases per day.

Beat that if you can.

Note; I reserve the right to disqualify you if I hear of you hosting house parties and coughing on people.

This seems somewhat of a bad taste wager but hey free money is not to be sneezed or coughed at.

Just checking on this and it might be closer than we thought. 11-16 Mar is 3075 cases, or 512.5 per day so I'm running ahead but your traveller funerals\St Patricks Day parties\general idiocy factor is well in your favour.

Closer than the Cheltenham Tipping Comp anyway.

gript pretending to be concerned by racism is interesting. They'll be bleating on about how bad cancel culture is when one of their own gets caught out

I am sure that they have a vendetta against her and that her current incarnation is very much protesting everything they believe in. I am also sure that her victims alliance pals are digging round for dirt at the moment to throw back. Where you find something worse than the pro Catholic Church, anti progress stance they have taken up while covering up for pedo’s and victim shaming.

Either way 2 parties that can tear each other apart and whoever comes out on top it doesn’t matter as they both look terrible.

This is fantastic HJ. Lovely song, great production. Varied and progressive, doesn't outstay its welcome and sets a high standard - got anymore in the bag?

Looking forward to the day when the Tesla investors realise VW is the company they thought Tesla was.

That was quick. It's up about 25% since this.

Lots of big announcements by VW recently.

The VW plan does look pretty spectacular. And it's hard to imagine the Germans setting out a plan they wouldn't be confident of implementing.

Bonkers.ie you can check all available suppliers, click on detail of price plan then click on electricity charges. It shows the price per kWH and the standing charges.
Once you know your usage it's an easy comparison.

I would prefer to do the maths on this rather than just taking the "estimated yearly bill amount" that they provide as it's based on average use of 4200kwh PA

NB - some providers have extra offers like cashback etc so you can just factor that in at the end.


Not the answer you were looking for I know.
Im an agent for business customers so dont deal with domestic.(for a number if reasons just in case anyone thinks I'm missing out on an easy upsell)


And good youre back on, hope the running is going well!

Cheers for the heads up.

Running has been going okay but not really making any progress other than getting the kilometers in. Went out for a solo run this morning around my area, not really sure I like running on main roads etc, too much noise, feels stop start trying to cross roads.

Lot to be said for running in the park.

nice track HJ, just as an FYI, you can also be found on tidal!!

[tylerdurden94]

For the audiophiles here who's using what for music? I've got a Spotfiy account and some of my mates have been taking about how the quality wasn't all that (turned out they hadn't changed some of the default settings) so I was Googling Spotify vs Amazon Music vs Apple Music vs Tidal.

For me I'm mostly listening to it when out walking or in the house on a Bose speaker or else through my Macbook. I know some of the headphone makers have better audio codecs than others so that does play a part. I've seen Shrap talk about Tidal and I seen there kbps are through the roof for quality.

really happy with Tidal, Been using it for a good few months now and master quality tracks are phenomenal. do a search for tidal in this thread and Bennyhifi does a fantastic analysis of the quality that only he could really! in terms of interface it's got the exact same feel as spotify, and even though there was a lot of bitching and moaning from the rest of the family when i switched over, everyone seems happy with it now (you can import all your faves and playlists over from spotify very easily).

45 years working. Any thoughts of retirement, or did you start aged 12?

582 cases. A few more points for Hitch.

The AZ "benefits outweigh risks" statement has me wanting to get either Pfizer or Moderna.

Hitch needs to run at ~600 a day for the next 6 days, and there's a weekend in there which usually means lower numbers. I'd say I'm a 1/3 shot at this stage and yes, I will not be magnanimous in victory.

45 years working. Any thoughts of retirement, or did you start aged 12?

Started working at 8 or 9 and I'm not messing, by the time I was 12 I was doing some proper work as a valve jockey repairing radios and TV's amongst other things. It wasn't like a job or anything I was made do, it was just work that you chipped into at home same as anyone on a farm or whatever.

Won't want to retire but I expect if I hang on in the job I'm in I'll be fckd out when my contract expires at 65. Nothing to do with not having the huge pension pot I would like to have but I find it hard to imagine not working into my mid 70's if I have health on my side and I can find something suitable to do.

I'd retire from my industry tomorrow if I could too.

But I'd definitely find something else to do. It'd be great to be able to have a job where any money you might earn would be secondary to job satisfaction plus the ability to choose how much\little you want to work.

Apologies RDIII if you have already relayed this not so fun fact. I recall you were tracking the impact verses the major wars.

I certainly have.

It now exceeds the US combat deaths from WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan plus the Confederate side in the Civil War.

Throw in the Spanish-American War, the Philippines conflict and the war of 1812 for the craic too.

Heard on the radio this morning that the R rate is up from 0.8 to 1.1 and close contacts from 2 to 2.6 compared to last month. When I go looking for source data of those figures I can't find any info.
