SWMBO has been out & bought a few Xmas pressies, reckons she's saved over £400 but what she's actually spent I've yet to discover..😄
You probably should remind her that the stuff is bought in by retailers for the event, so it's not on sale.  Preferably before she bankrupts you ;D

Sky digital. 1.5 hours on the phone over two calls. Still not sorted, they are baffled. The system is running them, rather than the other way around.
Tunnie was too busy still doing his homework....  ;D

Had the foresight to go to Tesco to fill it up, as they have a kiosk rather than fully unmanned like Sainbsurys, so no stupid £99 limits.

£110 later.... :(

Paying Khan the Khunta £27.50 to drive in his shithole with just about every road having roadworks or other restrictions on it.

Still, was still cheaper, faster and less stressful than using the Chiltern Slug to get there.

Again today, all my work has been postponed due to a charge relate outage caused by another team yesterday.

Sadly, I'm at home today, so no German Market frothy beer to amuse me.  Although if Birmingham has the weather Brakkers does today, not sure I'd fancy it, lol.

Black Friday is the biggest money maker for most retailers now. Even more so than Christmas.

It might be a silly american idea, but any retail business would be absolutely radio rental not to join in.

GB News however is a different kettle of fish as they seem to have an endless stream of Ofcom investigations and actions to deal with.  ::)
That that bunch of spineless namby pambys are right wing thugs in the eyes of the authorities now....

Well, she could cancel that rather pointless £100bn railway between almost Birmingham centre and Wormwood Scrubs....

...but the northern mayors would pressure Starmer to u turn on that as well....

Brewster's Millions ;D

;D ;D ;D

Ive never been to Birmingham. Doesnt sound like Ive missed much.  ::)
Think of downtown Belfast in the late 70s, only the waring religions are different, and it tends to be blades rather than guns and explosives.

Last time I was in Brum I got charged £16 for driving across an imaginary line that some green nazi bureaucrat had drawn on the map.  ::)
Many cities now have such tosh.  Most are ulez, but Oxford remains special, because it's run by left wing idiots who can't comprehend a world beyond the Oxford ring road.

As a cargo plane, my thoughts were how likely would it be for engine debris, admittedly at high speed with a lot of spin, to penetrate the fuselage (easy, thin aluminium) and the cargo (less likely?)
There is no real difference between a cargo and a passenger planes construction.
Yes, the bit I was wondering is if debris would penetrate the cargo easier than it would penetrate the organic matter in a passenger jet....

........
We've *got to* go to Birmingham in a few weeks but we'll go on one of those train things .....

Just think, if HS2 was completed, we'd get there ten whole minutes quicker,  ::) although we'd have to travel ten miles further by car to get on it.  ::)  As it stands, we have quite a few really nice car parks around our way but no actual track.  ;D
Err, you'd have to go a lot further than 10 miles.  You're nearest HS2 station would be Wormwood Scrubs I believe.  Which is about 75 minutes on a good day....
