I think @Reynard is only interested in racing drivers.

I once drove my car quite fast.... Will that do? 🤔 😂

Morning .
It is grey and a bit foggy here this morning . Since I've been thinking it seems to have got foggier!

Nay, you just went all misty eyed. Which added to it.

I've just spent an hour on the Vodafone 'chat' helpline, as our Internet has died, and achieved absolutely nothing.
I could have summed up the instructions 'Please turn off your router for a minute, turn it on again and press the reset button'

This, obviously, I'd already tried, but it took an hour of 'help' to do this!

I spent hours and hours last year on Vodafone chat. They're an absolute sh1tshow, I feel your pain. So exasperated at their appealing service and crappy unreliable routers, i took the bullet and switched to BT even though it meant paying double. Zero problems since

I've remained loyal to BT for a long time now even although I know I could get it cheaper. It has been super reliable.

YouTube seems to be recommending I watch a new release called Get Back from the Beatles. It's hardly a new release I would have thought. I may have heard that song before

Even if someone has found a different, long lost recording of it they probably rejected it at the time for a reason...

I think that it's simply more cost effective to use the infrastructure of a large company than set your own up. When I worked for GPO/PO/BT we had our own mechanics, but a lot of work that was originally done in house was put out to contractors.

Or not done ! My friend also worked for Royal Mail and his van was terrible. He kept telling the manager that it needed work doing to it but nothing was done .

They are still queueing at the pumps! I think one of the filling stations is empty so they were queueing at 2 others I passed .

I've heard a few reports about petrol running out at lots of stations around here. I may go out on the bike and investigate.

My router is fine... Its the Openreach (BT by another name) line that is the problem.. An expert engineer is calling on Monday morning ish

Happy birthday to myself.

Happy Birthday. Hope you’re sharing the cake!

It's virtual cake only so everybody can have a slice of it.

My wife and I have been clothes shopping for myself. All outdoor clothing made of a wicking or waterproof fabric.

I may need to sit down now to recover

I virtually enjoyed that cake. Happy birthday!
